Top 5 Soft99 products to take on the road

Short trip or long journey? It doesn't matter when it comes to keeping your car clean. Coffee always finds a way to spill, dust doesn't wait for an invitation, and kids are just waiting to make a mess. Find out which products should live in your car so that emergencies are never a problem.

Being prepared for anything is a wonderful thing. Not only will you protect your car's more delicate surfaces the moment something happens, but acting ahead of time will also reduce the stress that comes with travelling. Especially since, even when things do get dirty, using our products is genuinely fun!

Before setting off you need to assemble your team it's worth getting hold of something to carry your car care products safely and conveniently.

Detailing Bag – not just for detailers

First on the list is an absolute must-have. A bag, an organiser, a case – call it what you like, but without it everything else on this list will simply rattle around your car making a mess. Available in two sizes, the Detailing Bag stays put on your boot lining thanks to hook-and-loop fasteners on the base. A zip closure keeps everything neatly secured.

For the photos we've chosen the smaller Mini version, as it's perfect for everyday essentials and doesn't take up much space.

Wash Mist – one product for everything

This product needs no introduction. Get it in your hands just once and it'll never leave your side. Plastics, LCD screens, fabrics, glass – and even your hands in a pinch. Dust, sticky marks and greasy residue are no match for it. Beyond cleaning, it sanitises the surface and leaves a factory-fresh finish. Simply a must-have.

Cleanliness enthusiasts can also look out for Wash Mist Plus – an updated version of the product with the added benefit of a 7-day anti-dust coating.

Microfibre Super Cloth – for every occasion

A microfibre cloth is non-negotiable. It simply has to be in the detailer's kit bag – but it can't be just any cloth. This everyday, go-anywhere microfibre needs to be compact. Not so large that it's awkward to use, but not so small that it can't handle a variety of tasks. That's exactly what the Super Cloth is.

It has the right weight to perform both dry and wet. We've made sure it's exceptionally durable, capable of surviving many wash cycles without losing its properties. One is enough for the interior, but we recommend picking up 3 separate cloths for different tasks – both inside and outside the car.

Fabric Seat Cleaner and Luxury Leather – for upholstery care

Upholstery is a chapter of its own. While Wash Mist handles emergency situations on the spot, it's worth having something dedicated to cleaning fabric or leather on hand, depending on which you have in your car. Both products can be used as quick detailers – for regular, fast removal of everyday dirt – or simply for a quick refresh of the seats.

Fabric Seat Cleaner, for fabric upholstery, tackles spot stain removal with ease. The included brush lets you work the product in more effectively, reaching deep into every fibre. It removes odours and leaves behind a subtle mint scent – ideal for situations where something aromatic, like a sauce, has found its way onto the upholstery.

Luxury Leather, on the other hand, works beyond leather alone. It's equally effective for caring for plastics – the dashboard, door cards and similar surfaces.

It removes everyday dirt brilliantly without oversaturating the leather. And there's no need to worry about an artificial sheen – something many leather fans dislike – as it simply nourishes and refreshes, restoring the desired suppleness to the upholstery, including perforated leather. A sweet mango scent makes the job a pleasure, and it'll be easy to tell that someone has taken good care of the interior.

Glaco De Cleaner – cleans and protects glass

Clean windows are a necessity not just for comfort, but for driving safety too. On the inside, streaks and reflections are worth keeping on top of, while on the outside, regular dirt removal is a must – and ideally, your glass should be protected with a Glaco hydrophobic coating.

If that feels like too much to start with, reach for the easy-to-use De Cleaner. It cleans and protects in one step – the hydrophobic additive causes water droplets to bead off the glass, making driving in the rain noticeably more comfortable. Choose this product even if you've already applied a coating! It will support and nourish any previously applied Glaco coatings.

Summary

The inspiration doesn't stop with these products! You might also want to take Rain Drop Tornado Vortex – a quick detailer that speeds up drying after a wash – or the express Glaco W-Jet, which can be applied even to a rain-wet windscreen and spread with the wipers, delivering a hydrophobic effect in seconds.

Wherever you're headed, go well prepared! Safe travels with Soft99!
