When it comes to detailing there are so many chemicals to choose from. At J&E Auto Glow, these are the essentials we chose we use after years of experience. Aside from quality, we also look at ease of application and price.
3D Pink Car Soap is the main one we use in our foam canon for all our details. With proper dilution, it will foam up really well to aid in the contact wash.
3D Wash N Wax soap is used when we do our maintenance washes. Perfect for those monthly washes.
Superior Dark Fury is a diverse product that we mainly use to clean tires and wheels. It's a strong chemical that needs to be diluted 4:1. We put it on a 5-gallon chemical container and then add 4 gallons of water. It's also used on tough road grime and bugs stuck to the front bumper and side skirts.
Gyeon Iron Remover is used this before and during our clay bar treatment process. Just watch the iron and fallout particles turn purple and wash away. It can also be used on wheels.
ONR Wash & Shine is a very diverse product as well, it can be used as a clay lubricant and for waterless washes as well.
Ethos has a great line of waxes, and this Ceramic Speed Wax is one of our favorites because of its ease of use. A big plus is it sun friendly and it last up to 1 year.
3D Grand Blast heavy duty degreaser is mostly needed for really dirty tires and engine bay cleaning.
There are many tire dressings out there and our preferred are always water-based solutions. 3D Ultra Protectant is one of our favorites.
Believe it or not, you can make your own window cleaner at home for a very low price. All you need is a 16oz or 32oz sprayer bottle. You then fill it halfway with 70% isopropyl alcohol and the other half with distilled water.
3D ONE is a 2in1 cutting and polishing compound works wonders when paired with the right pad.
Use Sonax CUTMAX if you want to cut and remove as much swirls as possible this is the one.
GTECHNIQ EXO V5 ceramic coating is one of the easiest to apply and last a couple years. Its durable and ultra hydrophobic.
SUDSLab 2-pack of 1100 gsm drying towels is just enough to do the amount of cars we detail weekly.
Autofiber Mr. Everything microfiber towels are the best. We get them in many colors to distinguish what we use them for. For example, we use blue for windows, pink for waxes, gray for polishes and so on.
This is one of our most used items. Since we would have to replace them a lot, we got these Amazon ones that get the job done. They are The Rag Company clones.
Nanoskin AUTOSCRUB Medium Grade clay mitt is perfect when we do our clay and wax package. It leaves less marring than a clay bar.
MaxShine heavy grade clay bars are used when we are going to polish or do paint correction on the car.
All tire dressing applicators come apart after so many uses. This Adam Polishes one last longer than those cheap brand with proper use. Plus, the design makes it easy to apply and spread over tire.
P & S Xpress is a great interior cleaner for all the plastic and trims inside the car. Our best dilution for this is 1:1. It lasts a long time while still cleaning really well.
P & S Carpet Bomber & Upholstery Cleaner is the main solution we use for shampooing the seats. This is for moderate stains.
P & S Terminator Enzyme Spot & Stain Remover is for those tough stains. Apply directly to stains before Carpet Bomber.
P & S Swift Clean & Shine is mainly used for our maintenance washes and for cars that are slightly dirty.

Got funky smells in your car? Clean your car completely and spray this all over. You can spray into the cabin air filter and run your ac to clean those vents out as well so you can smell fresh af.

This is the best pet hair removal tool but is a little to rough for those cheap carpets.
Adam's Polishes Rubber Mat & Liner Cleaner is ideal due to the fact that it is non slip.
This Active pressure washer is small, compact and powerful. It the best bang for your buck.
We use spot free water but if you want to wash your car from home this is the kit to get for your water supply. No water spots.

A snubby gun with a swivel is what you need for easier washing.
You need a good 4500w generator to be able to run the pressure washer, vacuum, steam cleaner, extractor all at once at times.
Tires and wheels are the filthiest part of the car. All brushes eventually break and wear out. This Amazon kit has all the ones you need. Use softer material and more sensitive wheels.
