Buying Guide: Car Washing and Detailing Tools

Wash Mitts, Mops and Sponges
Viking offers chenille and microfiber wash mitts, a chenille wash mop with an aluminum extension pole, and sponges for washing paint. The mitts are used wet with car wash soap and water, and the pile is designed to lift dirt from the surface. Choose a mitt or sponge in the size that suits your hand and the area you are washing.

Cloths, Towels and Chamois
The 16 in. L x 12 in. W microfiber auto cleaning cloth is used for wax and polish removal, glass cleaning and interior dusting. Drying towels, a cotton terry towel and a leather chamois help you dry the vehicle after washing. Check the size on each product to match the surface you plan to dry or clean.

Wheel Brushes and Foam Tools
Wheel and rim brushes, including a metal-free soft wheel detail brush and a telescoping wash brush, help you reach tight areas around wheels and bumpers. Foam tire shine applicators and a foam cannon for thick snow foam round out the range. Measure the wheel or tire area before you choose a brush length.
