How to Get Basic Car Detailing Equipment

Having car detailing equipment at home can save the car owner money. By having the proper equipment, a car owner who enjoys detailing vehicles may also want to consider starting a side business to make some extra money. Finding the right detailing equipment will take some research, so the owner can buy the items for a good price.


  1. Contact a professional detailing company in your city to find out the type of equipment you need to buy. Make a list of the equipment the detailer describes. Find out if there is a manufacturer that the detailer prefers. Ask the detailer where you should look to find the items for a good price.

  2. Call a car dealership to find information about the basic types of detailing equipment you need. All dealers detail their cars on a regular basis and some have an in-house detailer. Ask to speak with the detailer to get some tips on the items that you should buy.

  3. Search online to find the detailing equipment that the professional detailer or car dealer recommends you should buy. Go to a website and look for the items to see if they are in the online store’s inventory. Make a note of the prices for each piece of equipment, then check other websites to try and find the best price.

  4. Go to an auto supply store to look for detailing equipment, so you can compare the prices with an online vendor. Ask a clerk for help finding the items that you need. Make a note of the price for the equipment, then compare the cost with the notes you have from the online source.

  5. Buy the detailing equipment from the source that has the best deal. Try the equipment to make sure it works properly. Contact the vendor if you have any problems with a piece of equipment. You can also call the car detailer you spoke with to ask for some assistance. Pay the detailer for taking the time to help you.
