You never know when the perfect wash day hits—or when your car might need a quick gloss boost before a meet.
That’s why every serious enthusiast has a little detailing arsenal tucked away in the boot.
Here’s the ultimate starter pack checklist for every clean-car addict. Whether you're a casual washer or full-on foam lord, these are the tools that belong in your trunk.
🧴 1. Quick Detail Spray
For smudges, fingerprints, and light dust before a shoot or meet.
✅ Adds gloss
✅ Safe for wraps, paint, and glass

💡 Use it before photoshoots or after a rain dusting.
🧽 2. Clean Microfiber Cloths (Always Keep 2–3)
✅ One for paint
✅ One for wheels or trims

💡 Pro tip: store them in zip-locks or pouches so they stay dust-free and ready to go.
🛞 3. Mini Bottle of Wheel Cleaner
Even a spotless car can look dirty with dusty wheels.

A soft mitt or sponge
Just in case they find a pressure washer or open hose at an event or garage stop.
