I get asked all the time what products I use on customer vehicles.

This page lists the same tools and chemicals I rely on daily for interiors, exteriors, pet hair, and deep cleaning.

I only link products I personally use or trust. Some links may be affiliate links — this doesn’t change your price and helps support my local detailing business.

Section 1: Chemicals & Detailing Products

All-Purpose & Interior Cleaning

  • Superior Products Pink Perfection – All-Purpose Cleaner (APC)
    My go-to for plastics, door panels, and general interior cleaning.

  • Superior Products Zap-It – Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner
    Deep cleans seats and carpets without harsh residue.

  • Koch-Chemie Leather StarMy go-to for regular leather maintenance—cleans, revives color, and leaves seats looking rich without feeling slick or greasy.
    Pleasant scent, soft “supple” finish, and a non-slippery feel that keeps the seats comfortable and safe.
