Brief summary + key benefits
The Accessories section covers every stage of detailing: washing, chemical handling, polishing and finishing. Using the right towels, brushes, wash mitts, sprayers, polishing pads and wash-system add-ons speeds up your workflow and reduces the risk of marring while delivering consistent results.
Technical Basics
Microfibre blends of polyester/polyamide offer high absorption and gentle touch; GSM and pile length govern performance. Brushes range from ultra-soft synthetics for interiors to stiffer bristle brushes for heavy grime. Wash mitts come in microfibre or wool; pair with pH-neutral shampoo. For safe chemical use, choose chemical-resistant bottles and triggers with matching 28/400–28/410 threads. Machine polishing relies on foam pads with tuned density and hardness for cut–polish–finish stages. Buckets & separators (grit guards) trap debris away from the mitt, reducing wash-marring.

Selection Criteria
Task focus: for exterior washing pick a soft wash mitt and high-GSM towel; for intricate areas choose shaped brushes or stiff bristle options. Material & hardness: long-pile microfibre for drying; pad hardness matched to defect level (cut/polish/finish). Chemical handling: aggressive products call for Viton seals and HDPE bottles. Fit: check separator compatibility with your bucket; match pad diameter to backing plate. Mobility: keep tools organised and protected with durable bags.

Installation & Maintenance
Washing: use a two-bucket method with a separator; rinse towels and mitts frequently. Polishing: start with a test spot; clean and rotate pads between sets. Chemicals: flush bottles and triggers with water after use and label dilutions clearly. Storage: keep microfibres dry and away from heat and UV; wash with neutral detergent, no softener. Maintain brushes and applicators by rinsing and air-drying after each job.
