7 Best Car Cleaning Kits to Keep Your Ride Sparkling

With 20 different pieces including a collapsible bucket and car dust cleaning gel, this exhaustive set has just about every cleaning product and tool you'll need to get both the interior and exterior of your car sparkling. It includes a 16-ounce bottle each of car wash soap, wax spray, wheel spray, detail spray, interior cleaning spray and glass cleaner as well as a car wash mitt, tire brush, rim and wheel brush, collapsible bucket, window squeegee, air conditioning vent brush and much more. We'd be surprised if you could think of any additional tool or spray you'll need while washing, dusting, detailing and protecting the interior surfaces. Keep in mind that some online reviewers found the tools (especially the collapsible bucket) to be not quite as sturdy as some other options.

Five sprays, an air freshener, liquid wash and wax and a wash pad make up this eight-piece premium kit by Armor All. Use the wash and wax liquid, wheel and tire cleaner and tire shine to clean up the dirt that accumulates from hours of driving before switching to the protectant and multi-purpose cleaner to keep your interior looking spiffy. It also comes with a glass cleaner for your windows. The microfiber wash pad helps clean without scratching or damaging surfaces, and the on-the-go air freshener is the cherry on top of that professional looking clean.

This classic wash and wax kit has all the basics you'll need to detail everything from the interior console to the wheels. The eight-piece set includes wax, detailer mist, wheel and tire cleaner, interior detailer cleaner and car wash shampoo and conditioner. It also comes with a sponge, microfiber towel and foam applicator pad to make it easy to apply each cleaner.

Online reviewers particularly liked how well the cleaners worked and the quality of the products. While it doesn't come with absolutely everything you'll need for an extra-deep clean (like a tire brush), it's a solid option for those who aren't looking to spend as much money but still get a quality job done. Plus, our cleaning experts gave the similar Meguiar's Hybrid Wash & Wax System a 2021 Cleaning Award.

You'll have no trouble keeping your car in tip-top shape with this 16-piece kit from Chemical Guys. Unlike many other kits, this one comes with a sturdy plastic bucket so you don't have to supply your own. While definitely on the pricier side, it also comes with four microfiber towels, an applicator, a short handle brush, a Torq Foam Cannon, microfiber wash mitt, cyclone dirt trap, glass cleaner, wheel gel, wax, washing soap, shine protectant and detailer spray. With a 4.7-star rating on Amazon and over 23,200 reviews, this kit has a huge following. Online reviewers particularly like the foam cannon that easily sprayed soap all over the car, but noted that this kit is more for washing the exterior of the car than the interior.

While it doesn't come with any cleaning fluids, it's a great, budget-friendly addition to any car-lover's kit. Plus, this way you'll no longer need to use the same tools from around your house for cleaning your car.

No matter what you want to clean inside or outside of your car, this kit has everything you need.

Each 21-item kit comes with a sturdy bucket, foam gun, air fresheners, microfiber towels, interior detailer spray, wheel cleaner, glass cleaner and a ton more. It also comes with instructions on how to apply each of the products and where each of the tools is best used. Online reviewers like how thorough the kit is and appreciated that the products felt very high quality, but found the packaging on the cleaning fluids to not be extremely durable.

Car owners who have vehicles with leather seats will find this complete restoration kit from Furniture Clinic a lifesaver. This Good Housekeeping Seal-holder cleans, protects and restores your car's leather to create a finish that's almost as good as new. While testing it, we appreciated that the cleaner did a great job of removing built-up dirt and grime, including blue dye stains from jeans. We also found that the Re-Coloring Balm was able to restore the color to faded and worn leather in a natural way that seamlessly blended into the color of the rest of the seat.
