What detailing tools should every car owner have?

At minimum, keep a microfiber wash mitt, drying towel, wheel brush, and interior detailing brushes. These help you clean safely and efficiently while minimizing scratches and streaks.

Why should I use detailing brushes instead of household tools?

Automotive brushes are made with softer bristles designed for delicate surfaces. Using the right tools prevents damage to paint, leather, and trim while reaching tight areas like vents, badges, and seams.

How do I care for my microfiber towels and brushes?

Wash microfiber separately with a mild detergent, no fabric softener, and tumble dry on low. Rinse brushes after each use and let them air dry to keep them clean and effective.

Do I really need different brushes for interior and exterior?

Yes. Interior brushes are typically softer for leather and vents, while exterior brushes are stiffer for tires, wheels, and grills. Keeping them separate prevents cross-contamination and surface damage.
