The Best Unusual Cleaning Products for Car Enthusiasts

Most car enthusiasts will prioritise car cleaning over any number of chores; however, for them to do a thorough job, they need the right cleaning products for the interior of cars, as well as the outside. Although traditional cleaning products for cleaning cars inside and out do the job perfectly well, some enthusiasts find themselves looking for some more unusual items to take their cleaning routine to the next level. To that end, we’ve put together a list of what we consider to be some of our most unusual cleaning products.

Products for Interior Car Cleaning

• Magic Sponges – First up are magic sponges, which are otherwise known as melamine foam sponges. These are a game changer for interior car cleaning, as they work like magic to remove stubborn stains, scuffs, and marks from various surfaces in the absence of harsh chemicals. They’re particularly effective on upholstery, dashboard surfaces, and vinyl trim. With such a unique microstructure, they’re able to lift dirt and grime with minimal effort, meaning interiors are left looking fresh and rejuvenated.
• Microfibre Cloths – Whether you’re a car enthusiast or not, you likely already have microfibre cloths in your home, as they’re perfect for cleaning and polishing all manner of surfaces. While microfibre cloths aren’t specifically designed for car cleaning, their ability to trap dirt and absorb moisture without leaving behind lint or streaks makes them stand out. They’re ideal for wiping down surfaces, polishing glass, and buffing interior trim to a high shine. What’s more, their soft and gentle texture means that they won’t scratch delicate surfaces, meaning they’re well-suited to detailing even the most luxurious car interiors.
• Pet Hair Brush – When you hear the words “pet hair brush”, you likely imagine a brush that’s designed to brush your pet’s fur. Despite this, this isn’t what we’re referring to at Frogchem. Instead, our pet hair brushes are designed to lift and gather pet hair from upholstery, carpets, and floor mats with ease, thanks to their rubber bristles. They are reusable and washable, meaning they’re a sustainable solution for tackling pet hair build-up in cars.

Cleaning Products for Car Exterior

• Ceramic Coating Kits – Ceramic coating kits provide long-lasting protection for a car’s exterior surfaces. These coatings create a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and contaminants, keeping the paintwork looking glossy and pristine for an extended period. It’s true that ceramic coatings require careful preparation and attention to detail; however, the results are certainly worth the effort. After all, your car will be left with a deep and lustrous shine that rivals showroom finishes.
• Waterless Wash and Polish – You couldn’t possibly clean a car without water, right? Wrong! With Waterless Wash and Polish, you don’t have to cover your vehicle with water, which often leaves you soaked and cold. Instead, the formulation of our Waterless Wash and Polish contains lubricating agents that encapsulate dirt and grime, allowing them to be safely wiped away with a microfibre cloth. Not only does this save time and conserve water, but it also leaves behind a protective wax layer that enhances a car’s shine and adds another layer of protection against environmental contaminants.
• Banana Hand Polish – You’d be forgiven for thinking that bananas are a healthy snack rather than a car cleaning solution. While it may sound unconventional, Banana Hand Polish can effectively restore the lustre of car paintwork. It contains banana oil, which nourishes and revitalises paint, leaving it smooth, glossy, and free from swirl marks. Thanks to its gentle formula, it’s suitable for all paint types, including clear coats, and it can be applied by hand or with a dual-action polisher.

Commercial Vehicle Cleaning Products 

• Engine Degreaser – In order to maximise performance and longevity, it’s vital that engines are kept clean. That’s where engine degreasers come in to dissolve grease, oil, and grime from engine components without inflicting damage. They make for thorough cleaning and degreasing as they penetrate deep into crevices and hard-to-reach areas. Professional valets can prevent build-up by regularly using engine degreasers, as this works to reduce the risk of corrosion and maintain the overall cleanliness of engines.
• Electric Polisher and Buffer – When it comes to achieving professional-quality results when polishing and waxing vehicles, an electric polisher and buffer are indispensable tools. With variable speed settings and interchangeable pads, it’s easier than ever to accommodate any number of polishing tasks. They work to distribute polish evenly, remove swirl marks, and enhance the shine of paintwork with minimal effort. Electric polishers and buffers are favoured by professionals for their efficiency and effectiveness.
• Numatic CT370 Valet Vacuum Cleaner (V5) – The Numatic CT370 Valet Vacuum Cleaner is a high-performance vacuum specifically designed for automotive detailing applications. With its powerful motor and HEPA filtration system, the vacuum ensures that carpets, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas are thoroughly cleaned. Crevice tools, upholstery nozzles, and various other attachments work to provide versatility and convenience in professional valeting operations.
