What car care products are worth getting?

The days when an old bucket and a coarse, supermarket sponge bought at a discount were enough to wash your car are long gone! Find out which car care products should be part of your collection.

Car care and the world of car detailing are constantly evolving, with new vehicle care products hitting the market every year. How do you make sense of it all? Start by buying one good product from each category!

Below, we present a list of car care products that should be in every car owners's detailing kit – for those who appreciate a clean, shiny car both inside and out.

Naturally, all of our suggestions are products from the Soft99, so get ready for a big dose of Japanese car care inspiration!

1. Car shampoo that lets you work at own pace: Neutral Creamy Shampoo

Clean paintwork is the foundation of any car care routine. Neutral Creamy Shampoo is a gentle yet highly effective shampoo with a neutral pH that safely removes dirt without affecting previously applied waxes or protective coatings. Its thick, creamy texture creates excellent foam and glide, minimizing the risk of scratches during washing. You can also use it as a snow foam.

2. Car washing sponge that's gentle on the paint: QJUTSU Ultrasoft Sponge

Detailers used to smile at the mention of sponges—until they tried the QJUTSU Ultrasoft Sponge. It's completely different from the clunky, hard supermarket sponges. We designed it with maximum gentleness and effectiveness in mind. Its unique structure allows it to safely lift dirt and thoroughly clean even hard-to-reach areas.

3. Microfibre cloth that won't let you down: Super Cloth Microfibre

Arguably the most important accessory in any detailer’s kit. The Super Cloth Microfibre from Soft99 is a top-quality microfiber designed for effective drying of the car body, waxing, or polishing glass coatings. Its high absorbency and softness make it indispensable for daily car care. Plus, it leaves no lint or threads on the paintwork.

4. Protective wax that won car owners' hearts: Fusso Coat 12 Months

If you’re looking for long-lasting paint protection, Fusso Coat 12 Months is a perfect choice. This legendary Japanese wax offers outstanding durability—up to 12 months of protection against dirt, salt, rain, and UV rays. It forms a hydrophobic layer that not only protects but also gives the paint a deep shine and exceptional smoothness. The choice of millions of drivers worldwide.

5. Glass cleaner that repels water: Glaco de Cleaner

Clean windows are not only about appearance but also safety. Glaco de Cleaner is a fast and effective solution that quickly removes greasy spots, residue, and insects from car windows without leaving streaks. It’s also a unique market-leading booster—when applied over existing Glaco coatings, it enhances their water repellency and extends their lifespan!

6. Interior care that lasts: Wash Mist Plus

The car’s interior deserves proper care too. With Wash Mist Plus, you can clean everything from plastic surfaces and touchscreens to frequently touched areas like the steering wheel or gear shifter. Its formula not only removes dirt effectively but also refreshes the interior without using harsh chemicals. The updated Plus version also provides a 7-day neutralizing coating that protects every surface.

7. Rim and tyre cleaner in one: Digloss Wheel & Tire Cleaner

Rims and tyres are the showpiece of any car. Digloss Wheel & Tire Cleaner is a 2-in-1 product that cleans the rims and treats the rubber at the same time. It effectively removes road deposits and brake pad dust and gives the tyres a deep, natural look. Regular use keeps the entire set of wheels in perfect condition for a long time.

The benefits of a clean car are worth emphasising at every opportunity: a polished car not only looks better, but is also more comfortable to use, a protected paintwork or windscreens save you time with washing and maintenance, and a perfectly clear, rain-repellent windscreen is a guarantee of safety on the road and of seeing the important things earlier.

You can find all the above mentioned products in the official UK Soft99 shop. Enjoy your shopping!
