Professional Auto Detailing Products: 4 Items That Professionals Can’t Live Without

If you’ve tried to detail your car and match the quality of the pros, you might find yourself still detailing 8 hours…10 hours…12 hours…even 16 hours later. How do the pros detail multiple cars a day, when you struggle just to detail one?

There’s 4 major detailing products and equipment items that are MUST HAVES to cut down your detailing times:

1. Wheel acid. You’re crazy to even touch wheels if you know about this major time saver. It’s not sold in automotive stores because the public can’t be trusted to NOT spray it on dry wheels, but if you can handle this simple piece of advice, you can use acid to your major advantage in your detailing routine: always wet your tires first before using acid. That’s it! That’s the only risk! Here’s how to use it from beginning to end: wet wheels; spray on acid; spray off acid w/ hose or (preferably) pressure washer; back up car 2 feet to rotate your wheels; respray with acid; spray off acid. Done. Your wheels look new with no scrubbing. Meguiars Wheel Brightener is superb and can be purchased here.
2. Air compressor. Ever wonder how detailers clean in the “nooks and crannies”? It’s not tiny-nozzle vacuum cleaner, nor is it their toothbrushes: it’s an air gun! Any air compressor in the $200 – $250 range from your local hardware store is enough. Connect a nice pistol-style air gun and you can “blast” out dirt in tight spots, then wipe it away or vacuum it up. Don’t waste your time with q-tips…ever.
3. Pressure washer. You just can’t clean engines, door jambs, wheels, wheel wells, and floor mats as fast with ordinary water pressure. Buy an electric or gas pressure washer, buy a 6″ width spray tip, set it to 2000 PSI, and cut your wash and prep times in half.
4. Random orbit electric polisher. Never do any kind of compounding, polishing, or waxing by hand. The only thing that should be done by hand is wax removal, with the aid of a spray detailer to soften up the wax. We recommend the Cyclo or Flex polishers for their safety, ease of use, and lack of “sling” (ie, spreading wax and polish everywhere).

These 4 items…not elbow grease…make it possible for the pros to pump top-quality work at production rates that make their businesses possible.
