Gear We've Tested

Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Car Wash SoapOur contact wash for the factory matte paint on our Ioniq 5 N. No gloss enhancers or wax, and it foams up thick.AmazonRead our review

Chemical Guys Hands Off Pre-Wash Snow FoamLays on thicker than any Chemical Guys soap we've used and clings to panels, loosening grime before you touch the paint.AmazonRead our review

Meguiar’s Ultimate Ceramic Coating KitDIY ceramic protection that goes on like liquid wax. A little goes a long way, and the water beading is excellent.AmazonRead our review

Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic WaxOur go-to after every wash on glossy paint for seven years. Spray on, rinse off, and enjoy the beading.AmazonRead our review

Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wash & WaxThe main soap on our matte Ioniq 5 N for two years. Cleans and adds ceramic protection in one step.AmazonRead our review

Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic DetailerHow we finish every wash on our matte Ioniq 5 N. Matte-safe SiO2 protection that keeps the paint smooth and slick.AmazonRead our review

Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Waterless Wash & WaxBest for touch-ups between washes. Safer than you'd think, and it leaves a light layer of ceramic protection.AmazonRead our review

Meguiar’s Matte & Vinyl Wrap Protection DetailerThe spray our factory matte paint was waiting for. We use it between washes on matte, satin, and wrapped finishes.AmazonRead our review

Meguiar’s Ultimate Black Plastic RestorerOne coat made an obvious difference on faded exterior trim. Easy to apply, with instant results.AmazonRead our review

Meguiar’s Gold Class Total Interior CleanserCut through months of sunscreen buildup on a steering wheel with almost no scrubbing. Great for really dirty interiors.AmazonRead our review

The Rag Company The 1500 Drying TowelOur top pick for absorbency. It dried our Ioniq 5 N without a single wring, but it gets heavy on smaller cars.AmazonRead our review

The Rag Company Liquid8rThe drying towel we'd recommend to almost anyone. Absorbent enough for a whole car without getting heavy.AmazonRead our review

The Rag Company Liquid8r M22Only 20 by 20 inches but 2,200 GSM, the densest towel we own. Perfect for chasing drips from mirrors, trim, and the trunk.AmazonRead our review

The Rag Company GauntletBig but thin and light, so it reaches tight spots, like the water-trapping openings in our Ioniq 5 N's spoiler.AmazonRead our review

The Rag Company Slim DryerThe thinnest, lightest drying towel we tested, which makes it the easiest one to handle.AmazonRead our review

The Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 500Some of the plushest detailing towels we've used. Our pick for buffing off waxes and coatings.AmazonRead our review

Chemical Guys TORQ Big Mouth Max Release Foam CannonThe foam cannon behind our pre-wash and contact wash. Both lay on thick and cling to the paint.AmazonRead our review

GOOLOO GT160 Tire InflatorCordless with a built-in 7,500mAh battery, so there's nothing to plug in. Our only gripe is the short air hose.AmazonRead our review
