Car Detailing on a Budget: Pro Results at Home

Professional detailing costs a fortune, but with the right inexpensive tools you can get remarkably close at home. Here is your budget detailing playbook.

The Core Kit

• Microfibre towels and a wash mitt.
• A clay bar to remove bonded contaminants.
• A dual-action polisher for swirl removal.
• A quality wax or ceramic spray for protection.

The Right Technique

Always wash top to bottom, use two buckets to avoid swirls, and dry with a clean microfibre. Protection should be the final step on a spotless surface.
