What are the best detailing products are on the market today?
Asking what the best detailing products may be a subjective question since the term “best” can mean different things to different people. It can also depend on what the particular product is. To me, the best products are those that perform well, have good bang-for-the-buck, and are vetted by the industry pros/enthusiasts.
These best-of lists have been compiled based on the number of recommendations made by experienced detailers on car detailing forums, authoritative websites, Youtube channels, and even Facebook groups. I believe that this will help you with your quest to find the best detailing products on the market today.
Garage/Shop Renovation Series
These Whalen Industrial Racks caught my eye while I was at shopping at Costco as it looked much more sturdy than the more economical garage storage racks that I’ve been used to seeing. Rather than using thin steel angles as a frame, these racks use thicker steel members and a more sturdy design, which results in a must stronger set of racks.
Since I’ve been remodeling the garage in our home, I’ve had new drywall installed and gone through the steps to prep and paint the walls. Prior to getting the walls up, I knew I would have the opportunity to run a new electrical circuit and install some outlets so that I charge and plug in my tools. I also planned to install a wall-mounted garage door opener near the garage door, which I would need to run electrical and provide an outlet for.
I ended up installing a PVC Slat Wall System from Garamer Storage Solutions, which was supplied to me so that I could install and write a review on. The wall slat system ended up working out really well for my space and I wanted to share my experience with the product and the installation process.
As with any home improvement project, you’ll need quite a few tools and materials to properly paint your walls. There’s of course the primer and paint, and then the products used to prep and paint the walls. The process takes a day or two, but it may take longer if you need to prep your existing walls. At the end, it’s satisfying when you see fresh paint on the walls–it really transforms the garage space into a place that you want to spend time in.
There are a number of options available for garage flooring such as stick-on vinyl tiles, interlocking tiles, and floor coatings. I’ve heard a lot of the good and bad things for all of these options, but in my opinion, the option that combines the best looks with the most durability is an epoxy floor with a polyaspartic topcoat. This is the option we ultimately went with, but I will go over the various options below to better inform you of the various options.
I’ve used my BRIDJIT Curb Ramp for 5+ years now and it works really well. The quality is very good, it has held up over time, and it does exactly what it promises which is to keep your car from scrapping or bumping into the rolled curb. There are also some added features that I like, which include the channel drain that allows surface runoff to pass underneath the ramp. I also like that it is extremely heavy, as it helps to deter theft.
