Koch Chemie Active foam: Fantastic all-around car soap.
Adams Mega Foam: Fantastic car soap, buy this if you don’t ever want to buy soap again.

Clean. V2 Ceramic Spray Sealant: Great sealant, also great everyday wax.
Armour Detail Supply Ceramic Spray Sealant Coating: Another great sealant for ceramic-coated cars.
Tire shine
GYEON Tire: Don't overcomplicate it. Use this applicator
Wheel & Tire Cleaner
Koch Chemie Alkali Wheel Cleaner: The best wheel cleaner. I use this on sports car, which produces a lot of brake dust, or very dirty wheels.
Adams Wheel & Tire Cleaner: This is a good wheel cleaner and will last forever. It’s not as strong as Alkali, but it gets the job done. This is my go-to on most jobs.
Stoner Car Care Tarminator Tar, Sap, and Asphalt Remover: This is always good to have on hand. Good for Sap and Paint removal. Spray on a microfiber or Q-tip and apply. Try not to do this in direct sunlight.
Polish & Compound
Koch Chemie Lack Polish: The best polish.
Koch Chemie Micro Cut Polishing Compound: if you think you need more cut than a polish.
Koch Chemie Fine Cut Polishing Compound: For medium to heavy cutting. Most of the time, this is overkill, and you need to cut less.
Leather Conditioner
Koch Chemie Leather Star: Excellent for cleaning and conditioning leather — my favorite.
Chemical Guys Leather Conditioner: I know Chemical Guys gets a bad wrap, but this is a solid product that smells amazing.
Equipment
Westinghouse Electric Pressure Washer, 2100 Max PSI 1.76 Max GPM: Excellent Small pressure washer for all automovtive needs. This is better than the electric Ryobi.
MTM Hydro Wide Mouth PF22 Foam Cannon and SG28 Trigger Gun Kit: This is a bit pricey, but it’s worth it. best handle and foam canon on the market- hands down.
35FT Kink-Resistant Pressure Washer Hose – 250Bar / 3600 PSI: Most pressure washer hoses suck, this one doesn’t.
RIDGID Wet-Dry Vacuums 4-Gallon, 5.0 Peak Horsepower: This is the best vacuum for cleaning cars. It’s a workhorse, and I have had mine for over 5 years. Make sure to get the Auto detailing Kit, and some filters and bags.
Tree Sap & Paint Splatter Remover
Gyeon Bug & Grime Remover: This is my favorite for most uses. Its formualted for ceramic coated cars and works well.
