Keep It Clean – The Best Car Cleaning & Detailing Gear for Home Use
Keep It Clean – The Best Car Cleaning & Detailing Gear for Home Use
There’s nothing quite like stepping back from a job and seeing your car shine like new. Whether you're preparing for a trip, selling your vehicle, or just enjoy the satisfaction of a deep clean, the right tools make all the difference.
At Town Tools, we stock a growing range of car cleaning and detailing gear to help you achieve pro-level results — from interior vacuums to polishing kits.
Here’s what you need to create a full DIY car care setup at home:
1. 🧽 Valeting Brushes & Detail Tools
Brushes are your best friend for cleaning:
-
Alloy wheels
-
Air vents
-
Badges and trim
-
Engine bays
🛠 Choose soft bristles for interior and stiff for wheels or tyres.
🧠 Pro tip: Keep separate brushes for interior and exterior use to avoid scratching.
2. 🪣 Buckets, Grit Guards & Microfibre Mitts
The two-bucket method is essential to prevent swirl marks.
Use one for soapy water and one for rinsing your mitt.
✅ Must-haves:
-
Grit guard insert (traps dirt)
-
Microfibre wash mitt
-
Drying towel or chamois
🛠 Stock up on microfibre cloths for every surface — glass, plastic, bodywork, dash.
3. ✨ Polishers & Buffers
Want that deep gloss finish? A cordless car polisher or orbital buffer speeds up the job and delivers better shine than hand-polishing.
✅ Look for:
-
Variable speed settings
-
Replaceable pads
-
Lightweight for overhead use
🛠 Even beginners can achieve great results with the right pad and pressure.
4. 🌬 Interior Vacuums & Brushes
From crumbs to pet hair, a compact vacuum makes a big difference.
✅ Handy features:
-
Long nozzles for footwells
-
Brush tips for vents
-
Cordless models for quick use
🧠 Pair with dashboard cleaner and glass spray for a full refresh.
5. 🧼 Cleaning Fluids & Degreasers
No job’s complete without the right cleaners.
Choose products designed for:
-
Glass
-
Dash plastics
-
Upholstery
-
Engine bays
🛠 Don’t forget tyre shine and trim restorer for that finishing touch.
