Why Quality Car Detailing Supplies Matter
Choosing the right vehicle detailing supplies can help you extend your car’s life and preserve its resale value. As with products you would use on your skin, cheaper isn’t always better, and those trying to cut corners with second-rate detailing products often find themselves having to work twice as hard or use twice the product to achieve the same results. They might never see the results they’re looking for, or, in the worst-case scenario, harm their car's paintwork and interior.
Car detailing specialists, whether weekend warrior car fanatics or experts in the automotive detailing industry, will all agree: high-quality car detailing products from reputable suppliers make detailing and maintaining the shine more affordable, easier, and faster.

Car Detailing Supplies: The Absolute Must-Haves
Car detailing supplies essentially fall into two main categories: tools and chemicals. Tools include microfibre cloths, brushes, and towels that remove grime and polish to a shine, while chemicals—shampoos, waxes, and coatings—break down dirt on a molecular level, adding shine and protecting your car’s surfaces.
Car detailing tools
As a leading car detailing supplier in the UK, Paragon Microfibre sells a full range of car cleaning products designed to keep every single vehicle surface sparkling without having to resort to the old elbow grease.Microfibre products are safe to use on all vehicle surfaces, and due to their split fibre structure, are ideally suited for automotive detailing. Some essential microfibre car detailing tools include:
Microfibre cloths:
If you could only choose one car cleaning product, go for a 300 gsm microfibre cloth. They’re highly absorbent, scratch- and abrasion-risk-free, suitable for interior and exterior use, and remain the go-to for car enthusiasts worldwide.
Microfibre glass & window cloths:
A dedicated glass and window cloth will help keep your automotive glass streak and watermark-free. Our microfibre products are manufactured to the highest spec, ensuring lint-free windows and mirrors.
