- 15 Must Have Car Detailing Products & Tools!
In this video I go through some of the basic tools you should have in your detailing collection.
Detailing can become an expensive hobby, but for those starting out, I provide some cheaper alternatives that you may already have around the house or can find at most supermarkets.

Are there any other items you think everyone MUST HAVE in their starter collection? What about other tips from around the house?
409 carpet cleaner works good for headliner stains
TooIbox and gloves. I picked up a Stanley toolbox €30, have all my brushes, cloths, products, gloves etc in it. Really handy for storing everything. And I find gloves are great just to protect your hands from the products.
Good shout there 👍
Would have thought a pressure washer was essential
@@danieltaylor2693 yes, but it depends on your water pressure also. Mine is awful so it is essential to be able to blast off all that loose dirt.
Refreshing to hear someone telling newbies you dont need the big names to do a job
Thanks :D
Watched for the first time and love the simplicity, something unusual in detailing circles. What I like is you show that a new starter does not need to spend big to get really great results. Once started it's then up to the individual to decide how far they wish to progress and that can be never ending.😎😅
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Praise!!!!!! a realistic video for the beginner without the detailer showboating how great he is, a beginner is not going to sink 200 quid into washing his car till he knows what he’s doing, Great video pal, thats a follow
Cheers 👍
Great Video. Answered a lot of questions I have been googling recently in one helpful video. Looking forward to building my first kit.
Nice, glad you found it useful 👍
Great video Mat. Very easy to follow and kept nice and simple for those of us who need it.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers 😁👍🏻
Another enjoyable video mat 👍🏻
Thanks 👍🏻
Another really useful video. Cheers!
No problem, glad you found it helpful 👍
Watching this and my buckets popped up Wash and Rinse, blast from the past.
😂
Nice vid again, thanks! Gloves would have to be on there for me. Eye protection too maybe? Mustn’t forget our PPE when detailing 😀
Agree with gloves tbf, but I was mainly thinking of actual items to clean the car. A PPE video may be called for 😉
Excellent video. Thanks.
Thank you
Well done Mat. It just goes to show that you don't have to have the "latest and greatest" of everything to maintain a clean car. Cheers.
No problem at all.
Good honest video....
Great list for us weekend warriors, you can find a surprising amount of useful items and chemicals in the nearest supermarket or DIY shop.
Definitely. And as I say, APCs and Window Cleaners don't have to be extravagant to get the job done. Particularly for those starting out or on a tight budget.
Great video Mat,when I started I bought cheap polishes,but now I'm into more of the dearer stuff like Meguiars and Auto Glym and other products.
You soon find more expensive than either of those 🤣 tbf, megs and AG is a good basis for most starting out and just "getting into" detailing a little more.
Wait till you find the really good but more expensive stuff compared to those two. Its going to blow your mind. Megs and ag are the starting point
Nice informative video, keep them coming ;)
Thank you 👍🏻
Two buckets a decent wash pad and drying towel is what everyone should have to start off with. Grit guards are not necessary. If you dont need expensive buckets but once you see the difference in water it's hard to go back. Other products will come to you over time depending on what you like and budget. Sometimes you get what you pay for sometimes its marketing hype. At the end of the day if it works for you. If you are willing to pay that amount then carry on using it
Couldn't agree more 👍🏻
Very helpful video
Excellent video, just found your channel and a new hobby!
Haha nice one.... Be prepared to start buying things you never knew existed for problems you never even imagined 🤣😢
Good stuff Nuff said!
Thanks 👍
Love bidding on ebay now and then.
Another great one Mat. 😁
Thank you 👍🏻
hi mate new to your channel channel and like your content realy good info cheers for your time and uploads
Thank you 👍
Excellent Mat. For me, buying a good wheel brush is worthwhile as the cheaper ones don't last. 5 litres of Surfex HD is great value & has multiple applications from heavy engine work to interiors & everything in between. Buying in 5 litre quantities generally can provide good value. Unfortunately, once you're hooked all sense is lost & you just have to try every product on the market 😂
Haha, thank you.... Yes, it quickly becomes an expensive hobby (if you let it)
Good advise
Jon at Forensic Detailing recommended you ... and I'm glad I watched. And yes, I have subscribed.
That's good to know 👍🏻 Hope you stick around :D
@@TheDetailingSpace I like your style. I have watched vids from over the pond, and they all seem to shout out of the screen / talk too fast and too much / are constantly promoting products ... that they are promoted by. Jon on Forensic D is old school, "The Facts Ma'am, just give me the facts." Like you he's 'bloke' and not giving me a migraine by shouting. It's like dropping round with a mate for a coffee. Enjoying Your Vids :-)
Haha, thank you very much 👍🏻
Noodles mitts are great for wheels, cheaper than brushes and can get round the back of the wheels because you just curve your fingers around the back of wheels
I've got a cheap da but I'm not sure what are the best pads to get for it as in for cutting/ polishing , flat pads , dimpled any advice would be great , really good video by the way 👍
Good advice Mat, here’s a couple of ideas for the younger detailing newbies. Check out your mums cleaning supplies for microfibres, she’ll never suspect you’d be the culprit! If you have a few “ car mates” who also want to start, get a tin of good quality wax to share between you, chances are you’d never use a full tin yourself. Halfords regularly have a 3 for 2 on car cleaning so just wait until the offer comes around.
👍
Nice detailing tool list.
Thank you 👍🏻
Another informative video and love that opening sequence Matt!
One thing I think would be useful for Joe Public rather than the Detailing World aficionados is a couple of sentences as to why you don't use a sponge or why microfibres are better than say an ordinary towel or yellow duster.

Thanks for the feedback John 👍🏻
Hi
Can you please recommend a vacuum cleaner for detailing as well as house cleaning. I prefer to get one that does both jobs
I got a wheel brush with the kit I bought and it feels really rough and makes me wonder if it's safe to use on my alloys?
I have got some horrible sticky residue on my alloy. I have used Autoglym alloy cleaner and the magma and vulcanet wipes. I have still got some residue. Any tips?
Nice 1 used a fall out remover today first time worked great till trigger snapped on the bottle 🤣🤣
Can you list where you get your micro fibre cloths and pressure washer jet cannons etc please
Cloths I get from various suppliers. The bag of yellow ones I get from amazon (or Costco)
I’ve got a bottle of flash all purpose cleaner (for kitchen), can i use it as an exterior pre wash/engine bay cleaner? Would it work well on interiors and carpets. It says ‘for use on hard surfaces’. And what dilution rate would you recommend? Can’t be bothered to buy another detailing product but would surfex HD be much better for someone like me who’s a weekend warrior
Start with a weak dilution and see how you get on
What brand are those brushes at 4:54? The blue/black brushes. I really like the design of those, especially with the more pointed tip which could be useful in certain areas. I'd like to get that set if they are still available. Thanks for any information you might be able to provide.
Think Diall... They are paintbrushes, I use them for interior.
@@TheDetailingSpace Thanks. They look like they would make awesome detail brushes. I'll see if I can find those. Thanks for the information.
Good solid advice here.You don't have to spend huge amounts on expensive big brands
to get a really good job done.
No 16 has got to be a STRIPE TOOL 😊😊.
Number 16 was supposed to be a new credit card but I forgot 🤣
Number 17 is a very understanding partner....
Haha, too true.
Great video Mat
What APC would you recommend - i don’t mind paying more than a few quid and i want to be able to use it on my interior and engine bays
Thanks 😊
Bilt Hamber Surfex HD, Koch Chemie Green Star and AutoSmart G101 are all cracking APCs.
@@TheDetailingSpace thanks mat,
What would you reccomend diluting surfex hd to for interiors and then for engine bays
As far as best wheelbrush, I'd say the ez detail brush is best.
It is good. But with painted alloys I'm preferring the wheel woolies
With the supermarket APC, what dilution rate would you use?
Depends where from. Experiment between 4:1 and 10:1
Can you mix glass cleaner and something like rain-x?
I wouldn't mix them, not sure why you would want to. Clean your glass first, then apply rain-x after
Enjoyed watching this very much, and it just goes to show that no matter where you're from, we do it the same. :)
it does indeed. Glad you enjoyed it.... Where are you from BTW?
@@TheDetailingSpace I'm from the U.S. by way of Cuba, by birth.
Nice. Where abouts? (America is a big place 🤣)
@@TheDetailingSpace I'm from Central Florida, Orlando is what most people call it. The land of eternal heat and bugs.
Haha... Nice. Never been to Florida, but is on my list 👍🏻
Must have detailing tools ,the missies wig
🤣
Great video Matt, will you beat Waxstock this year ?
I will be indeed. Not sure on the days plan, but I think I'll be wandering around during the beginning of the day to capture footage, and then will be on the stand at some point with Bill... We'll try and post a video nearer the time 👍🏻
What would u use for cleaning oils residue after polishing car like cheap version of ipa?
IPA, or mix it 50/50 with distilled water to make it last longer. Panel wipe is good. Some brands offer their own prep wipe down product too
@@TheDetailingSpace thank you 🙂
No problem 👍
When you detailing cars do you use any jack or lifts to lift car up,because I did work on clients car and my back is killing me after bottom part polishing😂😂and I was looking at some jack they coast fortune,maybe u know some cheaper alternative to start with ?
Thank you for answer in advance
I don't, but a lot of the pros do have some sort of lift in their unit
What's you're view on cheap DA's are they worth the money or should you just go for a more expensive one and what is you're suggestion for the best one?
Never really used cheap DAs. What kind you thinking off?
@@TheDetailingSpace seen cheap ones online ebay special just started getting into detailing and am looking a polisher just not sure what to get
The Megs G220 is a good starting one.
If there’s one area worth spending on, it’s microfibres. Good ones are so much better than supermarket junk.
True. As someone starting out though, cheap ones for dealing with tar etc is enough... But agree with plush ones.
Very true, but on paintwork, cheap ones can mark your paintwork. I got a pack of ten black microfibres off eBay for £10 for the dirty jobs. Being black, they don’t show the stains so still look decent.
Ceramic coating ?
What about it? This is a "basics" video
Costco do some great microfibres at £16 for 36
That's where I got my "work" yellow ones from.
Their new drying towels are also very nice 😉
Not seen those. May have to take a look

Cheers 👍🏻
1:58 this is a Polish product
Believe so 👍
Be aware of RRC products, well known in poland and big no-no for our detailing community. No support, some products resulting damage. Just hurried to the market and not up to the standard we are aiming
Can anybody recommend a good electric buffer? Not just a cheap Chinese turd. Cheers.
How about the Lake Country UDOS that we recently did a few videos with?
@@TheDetailingSpace I’ll have a look now thanks mate.
