With spring here and cruising season around the corner, we’ve rolled up our sleeves and put five top car cleaning kits through their paces.
“We cleaned, polished, critiqued, and compared—so you can buy confidently and get that ‘new car glow’ right on your driveway.”
“We washed our own cars (and each other’s!) over three sunny weekends. Each kit was judged on cleaning power, ease, scent, finish, and overall feel. Here are the five that stood out.”
“This one felt premium from the moment we opened it—great scent, smooth application, and that satisfying shine.”
Includes:
Shampoo, polish, rapid ceramic spray, wheel cleaner, tyre dressing, interior shampoo, vinyl care, fast glass, microfibre cloth.
Performance Highlights:
Paint rebuffed effortless dust, polish left a deep reflective sheen. Interior cleaner handled winter’s residue without soaking.
Ideal For:
Detail lovers who want one box, one Sunday, and full gloss results.
