When I saw Chemical Guys was having a big Labor Day sale, the first thing I did was to run out to the garage to see what I have on my shelves. I found 12 assorted bottles of products, my Torqx polisher, wipes, tire brushes, towels, wash mitts and polishing pads, and I know have more bags and buckets scattered around.
Washing your car is an important part of maintenance, and with a car wash easily $25 or more, a starter kit from Chemical Guys will pay for itself in a few weeks of washes. Interior cleaning is even more expensive and the longer you put both off, the more expensive it will get. In the end, it will even affect your car’s value.
Whether you’re just getting started, need to stock up on foam wash or want a thoughtful all-in-one gift for any car lover, you’ll find it at Chemical Guys’ Labor Day sale and everyday deals.
Top Car Care Picks From Chemical Guys’ Labor Day Sale
Exterior Car Care Products and Wash Kits
- Complete Starter Kit: I use and really like detailing buckets with dirt traps, which help keep paint-scratching grit out of your wash water. This all-in-one kit includes both of those, body and wheel cleaners, glass cleaners, the bucket, towels, wash mitts and more — was $189, now just $120!
- Suds Stock: If you wash your car regularly, you go through a lot of foam, and Sticky Snowball foam wash has a superb 4.9-star rating for its formula that sticks while you wash, rather than falling off like cheap foams — was $40, now just $36!
- Get Bright: I’ve restored a lot of headlights and not only will you be amazed at the results, but it’s a fun and easy project. A kit with a polishing compound and UV sealer will clear up haze and yellowing — was $82, now just $59!
- Just the Bucket: As I said above, the grate at the bottom of a detailing bucket helps paint-ruining grit settle to the bottom. I have two of these, and you can get this one with a tough lid you can sit or even step on — was $31, now just $22!
- Ceramics: Ceramic coatings are the most durable and beautiful finish you can put on your car. Get up to five years of paint protection with a do-it-yourself kit that includes a strip wash, applicators and nano-scale coating — was $176, now just $128!
Interior Car Care Products and Kits
- Clean Kit: Interior cleaning is more complicated than exterior because with plastics, seats and carpets, there are so many different materials that it’s hard to know what to use. Get everything in one kit for floor mats and seat crevices — was $128, now just $92!
- See Thru: Good professional-quality glass cleaner will just make your life better because it’ll remove more greasy residue with less work and no streaking. This one comes with a waffle weave microfiber towel — was $21, now just $15!
- Leather Lather: If you don’t take care of leather seats, they’ll turn from a luxury into an embarrassment as they get dirty and eventually cracked. Leather cleaner, conditioner, applicators and a horsehair brush will preserve them for years to come — was $79, now just $54!
- Super Sucker: There are a million cheap car vacuums on Amazon, and none of them suck. Or they all do. It depends on how you look at it, but I’ve tested dozens and they’re terrible. Get one with a fabric care kit that actually does what it says for quick cleanups — was $122, now just $85!
- Wipe and Go: Toss a pack of cleaning and protectant wipes in your center console or glove compartment to clean up dust and minor spills, and to maintain your hard interior surfaces after a deep clean — was $10, now just $8!
Tools and Accessories
- Roll It: Water weighs about 8.4 pounds per gallon, so a mostly full five-gallon bucket is close to 40 pounds. Save your back and hands with a bucket creeper dolly that holds up to 300 pounds. It’s great for household cleaning, too — was $55, now just $41!
- Sticky Icky: That’s actually the name of Chemical Guys’ crevice cleaning goo, which you can use to get dirt and crumbs out of cracks like around buttons, or inside the house for keyboards and other hard-to-reach places — was $10, now just $8!
- Torq It: If you or someone you know is serious about car care, a random orbit polisher is a basic tool to have, and this 900W Torq model has an extra-long 15mm throw to speed things up and help avoid swirls — was $270, now just $216!
- Foam party: My kids used to love using a foam cannon to spray car wash soap; in fact, it was hard to get them to stop. If you don’t have a pressure washer, all you need for this one is a garden hose — was $50, now just $38!
- Throw It In: I have about two dozen of these absorbent, lint-free microfiber towels, not just in the garage, but in cars and around the house. I literally have one at my desk right now for wiping off my screen and dusting my desk — was $32, now just $22!
