Car Shampoo: The Foundation No One Can Ignore

Theyre formulated for the job: pH-balanced, tough on grime, gentle on clear coat. And pros dont stop therethey go for foaming shampoos that maximize cleaning while minimizing scratches.

Application Tools: The Right Mitts and Brushes Matter

Still using sponges? Stop. Upgrade to high-density microfiber mitts or purpose-designed detailing brushes from KKE. Why? Microfiber traps grit, not drags it across paint. Specialized brushes target rims, grilles, and wheel wells without fatigue or missed spots.

Dry Right for Brilliance

Old towels or chamois cause more scratches than you realize. Invest in ultra-absorbent microfiber drying towels. Twisted-loop and waffle weaves soak up water and minimize effort, reducing the risk of water spots on even the darkest paints.
