Amazon, edited by the author Amazon Prime Day is a perfect low-stakes opportunity to test out a new car cleaning product or simply restock your garage. Here are my favorite cleaning, detailing, and car-care accessories that you can score a really good price on if you’re a Prime member (free trials here) through June 26. 22% off: Mothers California Gold Ceramic Spray & Rinse Wax ($13.99). This is an awesome and very easy step to add to even a casual car cleaning—just spritz your car with it after washing, while it’s still wet, then rinse and let the chemical go to work protecting your paint. No, it’s not going to last as long as a $1,000 full ceramic job from a pro detailer, but it offers great protection for minimal time and money investment. 42% off: Mothers five-inch microfiber polishing pads ($7.59). My polishing pads are always getting wrecked, used, or stolen by my dog (or all of those things). Grabbing a six-pack when they’re almost half-priced is a no-brainer. 40% off: Chemical Guys Grubbie Edge pet hair removal tool ($8.99). This little thing does a great job of raking up dog fluff that gets trapped in car upholstery. If you have a dog that rides in your car, this is an excellent item to have, and this price is killer. You can also buy a brush-style one, which is also 40% off. 25% off: Lexol Two-Step Leather Kit ($17.31). People tend to be big-time brand loyal when it comes to leather cleaners. I’m not, but I have had great luck with Lexol, so I’m pleased to see it on sale this week. I use it not just for car seats, but also for some of my nice shoes and even an English horse saddle. 15% off: Jay Leno’s Garage All Purpose Cleaner Car Detail Spray ($8.47). I know, this one might seem random. First of all, yes, Jay Leno has his own car cleaning product brand. But this particular product in his lineup is, like, insanely effective. I don’t know what’s in it, and I don’t know how it works so damn well, but I swear I have removed stains from paint and fabrics with this stuff that other chems could not bite into. A little goes a long way, too. I’ll update this post as more items pop up on my radar. And remember, due to the nature of Amazon Prime Day, prices might change by the time you click. But I stand by these recommendations regardless.
