Detailing Accessories

For as long as I can remember, car detailing accessories have been given the same level of attention as basic janitorial supplies. Visit your local auto parts store or large retailer and you will find hordes of cheaply made brushes and inexpensive sponges and towels that all look the same, but have different packaging. Innovation in the car detailing accessory industry was limited to new colors and eye-catching packages.

As a serious enthusiast, I would allow very few “retail detailing tools” in my car, let alone put them to work detailing it. Fortunately, new choices for the serious enthusiast are now available.

Sonus Detailing Towels

Sonus detailing towels offer the highest level of targeted  functionality available.  The Sonus Der Wunder line of detailing towels, for example, are specifically designed for polishing, buffing and drying.

Sonus Der Wunder Polishing Towels are very specialized for paint polishing and glass cleaning.  Notice the absence of a visible edge binding.  The edgeless design prevents any chance of paint marring from the toweling.

Is it necessary to use functionally specific towels on your car?  At Sonus we think it is.   Because we design each towel for a specific car surface, you are guaranteed better results with less effort.

The Ultima Autospa Buffing Towel lives up to its name.  This is the softest and most plush towel available on the market today.  It is a delight to use for waxing, buffing and quick detailing.

Sonus Wash Mitts & Bucket

A lot of personal preference goes into the selection of a wash mitt or sponge.  At Sonus we offer two choice for safe washing, the Der Wunder Wash Mitt and the Ultimate Wool Wash Mitt.

My personal preference in wash mitt material has long been  genuine wool.  The Sonus Genuine Wool Wash Mitt has a superior feel and holds volumes of soapy water for a scratch-free wash, making it an excellent choice.

If you want an easy care solution, the Sonus Der Wunder Wash Mitt is constructed using a high-pile microfiber fabric that's backed with foam.  The Sonus Der Wunder Wash Mitt is super soft and rinses freely for a scratch-free wash.   It's machine washable!

Sonus also offers unique solutions, like our professional bucket system.  The Sonus Professional Bucket makes detailing easier, safer and more convenient.

The Sonus Professional Bucket is a complete solution.  You may own a nice 5-gallon bucket, but I promise you it's nothing like this.  The 5-caster dolly makes it easy to move, the Grit Guard keeps your wash mitt out of the harmful dirt that settles to the bottom, and the padded seat allows the unit to double as a creeper.

Carrand Detailing Tools

CARRAND Companies brings 25 years of solutions to the marketplace, smoothing the path for customers through proven innovations in product development and process. CARRAND's guiding business principle is centered on innovation. CARRAND delivers on this promise by understanding the consumer's need for innovation, design, functionality and quality. This understanding is partnered with an emphasis and commitment to quality assurance. CARRAND Companies long-term success has marked them as the industry leader in the cleaning solutions category.

Use a car duster to remove light surface dust prior to wipe down.  The Microfiber Dusting Wand is the best quality and safest duster available today.  If you drop the duster on your car it won't scratch your paint.  The mop head is super soft and safe for all paint colors, including black.

Since the OXO tools were introduced, a few companies have come to market with more interesting soft handles, contoured brush heads and more bright colors, but nothing revolutionary until Carrand came into the market. They have improved features with the end user in mind. The grip is soft in the hand, the bumpers on brushes avoid scratching and their brushes are aimed at getting into every nook and crack inside and outside the car.

The Grip Tech Deluxe Car Wash Brush is one of my all-time favorite wash brushes.  It's safe on all surfaces and fits very comfortably in your hand.  I'm using it here to give this engine bay a light scrubbing.

SUMMARY

Pick your detailing accessories carefully.  Good accessories make detailing easier and deliver results.  Bad detailing accessories create more work and are less likely to deliver the results you expect.
