Key features

• The foam blaster works with a regular garden hose, so you don't need a pressure washer.
• The bucket with grit guard helps keep dirt off your mitt and swirl marks off your paint.
• Wheel cleaner, dressing, wax and glass cleaner cover a full wash day.
• Microfiber towels and a wash mitt are gentler than old rags.

Best for

New car owners and weekend detailers who want a complete starter kit.

Things to consider

• Hose foam is thinner than a pressure-washer foam cannon.
• The 16 oz bottles run out, so expect to restock.
• Experienced detailers may already own most of it.

Verdict

A great all-in-one starter kit and a popular gift for car lovers.
