Cleaning & Detailing

Australian conditions are tough on vehicles. Red dust, mud, coastal salt, bitumen tar and baked on bugs all take their toll, so a solid cleaning and detailing routine is the best way to keep your 4WD, ute, caravan or daily driver looking sharp and protected. Our Cleaning and Detailing collection covers the full job from a big initial wash down to the fine finishing touches, with high pressure washers, foam cannons, drill brush detailing kits, wheel and tyre cleaners, interior vacuums, polishes and paint correction products. Whether you are prepping for a show, cleaning up after a beach run or just staying on top of the weekend wash, you will find the right car cleaning gear here.

Pressure Washers for a Powerful First Wash

A pressure washer strips away the heavy grime before you ever touch the paint. This range spans petrol and gas powered units, including Giantz petrol washers with a 20 metre hose and gas models rated from around 3400 PSI up to 4400 PSI with multiple nozzles, right through to cordless electric spray guns running 21V and 88V battery packs for quick jobs and away from mains power. Choose a higher PSI petrol or gas unit for driveways, trailers and mud caked underbodies, and a lightweight cordless washer for bikes, kayaks and touch ups on the go. Turbo nozzles and adjustable heads such as the X-BULL 4000PSI tip let you dial the spray to suit the surface.

Foam Cannons, Wash Kits and Snow Foam

Snow foam lifts dirt safely so you drag less grit across the clear coat. Jet-USA foam cannons and snow foamers with quick connect fittings work with petrol and many electric pressure washers or a standard garden hose, giving thick clinging suds for a proper pre wash. Pair one with a multi piece car wash tool kit, such as the 9 piece sets with tyre and wheel brushes, a wash mitt, microfibre towels and a wax sponge, to follow the two bucket approach and reduce swirl marks. Soft mitts and plush microfibre are the safest choice for delicate paint.

Wheels, Tyres and Drill Brush Detailing

Wheels and tyres collect the worst of the brake dust and road grime, so dedicated tools make short work of them. The Sabco high power wheel and tyre brush and Aimex Alloy Shield nano wheel protector, a 250 ml UK made formula, help clean and shield your rims. For a faster finish, the Ultimate Car Detailing drill brush and polishing pad kits come in sets ranging from around 20 to 29 pieces and attach to a cordless drill to scrub wheels, carpets, seats and exterior trim. All purpose drill scrub brush sets in 6 and 7 piece configurations also tackle grout, tiles and bathrooms, so they earn their keep well beyond the garage.

Interior Cleaning and Paint Correction

A clean cabin is just as important as a shiny exterior. Compact 3 in 1 car vacuum cleaners combine suction, blowing and dust extraction with rechargeable 2000mAh batteries, a floor brush and a car charger, making them handy for footwells, boots and vents. Multi functional foam cleaners help decontaminate leather and fabric seats, while scratch remover pastes and polishing waxes assist with light paint correction, decontamination and swirl repair. Pet owners can protect door trims from claws with padded pet car door protectors sized around 77 by 64 cm with a storage pocket. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and work in the shade.

Workshop Comfort and Handy Extras

Detailing is easier when you are set up properly. Detachable auto repair creeper stools, some with drawers or a divided cup holder, take the strain out of low work around wheels and sills. Smart sensing extendable electric cleaning brushes add torque for stubborn spots, rechargeable electric ice scrapers clear frosty screens in colder regions, and portable RV water softeners help mobile washers avoid hard water spotting on caravans, boats and trailers. These extras round out a complete detailing setup for home, workshop or the road.

Cleaning & Detailing — FAQ

How do I choose the right pressure washer for cleaning my 4WD?

Think about where you will use it and whether you have easy access to power and water. Cordless and battery models like our 21V and 88V units are great for washing away from taps and mains power, while a petrol high pressure cleaner suits heavy mud and larger vehicles. Matching pressure ratings and nozzles, such as a turbo nozzle for stubborn grime, helps you tackle everything from wheels to caked-on trail dirt.

Which products should I use for wheels and tyres?

For wheels we stock dedicated tools like the Sabco wheel and tyre brush and drill brush detailing kits that reach into spokes and barrels. A wheel protector such as the Aimex nano alloy shield can be applied to clean wheels to help resist future build-up. Pairing a good brush with the right cleaner makes brake dust and road grime much easier to lift.

What is a foam cannon and do I need one?

A foam cannon like our Jet-USA snow foamer mixes soap with water to lay down a thick foam that clings to paint and helps loosen dirt before you touch the surface. Some connect to a pressure washer and others attach to a standard garden hose, so check the fitting that suits your setup. Foaming first reduces the chance of dragging grit across your paint when you follow up with a wash mitt.

How do I safely remove light scratches and swirls?

Our scratch remover and polishing wax pastes are designed for light surface marks and can be worked in by hand or with a polishing pad. Always start on a clean, dry panel, apply a small amount and buff gently in sections to check your results as you go. Deeper scratches that catch a fingernail may need professional attention, so it is worth testing on a small area first.

What tools help with interior cleaning and detailing?

For interiors, our 3-in-1 cordless vacuums handle suction, blowing and dust extraction to clear crumbs and dust from tight footwells and vents. A foam leather and fabric cleaner lifts grime from seats, and the smart-sensing electric cleaning brushes add scrubbing power for mats and trim. Working from the top down and finishing with the floors keeps loosened dirt from settling on areas you have already cleaned.
