Car Detailing - What products are your go to?

[GO FURTHER]

I like using the ones from Bowden's called their "All Sorts".

It's all about the physics of tyres

Since the surface of the sidewall of most road tyres is not completely smooth or flat, (with raised and indented lettering and emblems), I find the Bowden's grooved foam applicators better.

It distributes the tyre gel or liquid faster & more evenly to get into all the grooves on the tyre wall compared to a flat-faced foam applicator, for a professional finish.

There is nothing worse as a detailing buff than when someone smiles and says, "Looks like you missed some areas with the tyre sheen, buddy!"

That style, sold under a few brand names, has been one of my favorites for years now. While it looks as if it would only suit high profile tyres, it actually works very well on low profiles as well. Also, because its bigger than most, you don't have to hold it with pinched fingers, which makes it more ergonomic and less likely to transfer product onto your hands.
