Recently, a couple of people have asked me about my are care products and I felt this would be a good platform to drop a post about it.

Grit Guard: I use the grit guard to rub dirt off my sponge in a 2 or three stage bucket system wash. Works with most home depot/car wash 5 gallon buckets, recommend 1 for each bucket you use.

Foam Cannon: Make washing easy with a Foam Cannon that connects directly to the pressure washer. Load up your Foam Rated Soap and let soak for 5 minutes ensuring the washing process doesn't damage your paint or wrap while allowing dirt to fall off patriot to agitation! Please ensure compatibility with your specific model of pressure washer.

Foaming Shampoo: While a Variety of shampoos are available, one of my favorites are from a brand called FICTECH due to the ceramic/shine properties of the product. I call it magic in a bottle as it leaves every surface smooth and glossy with minimal DIY effort.

Wheel Cleaner: SONAX Beast is the ultimate wheel cleaner breaking down dirt, iron deposits, and other road grime on your wheel while not harming the painted surface like some acid etched based wheel cleaners. Just remember to always use a dedicated wheel/tire brush/sponge.

Interior Cleaner: SONAX Multi-Purpose Interior cleaner is a great all in one for your Rivians multi surface non leather upholstery. Please note most if not all leather cleaners can be used on your Rivians Vegan Leather.

Quick Detailer: As mentioned before FICTECH makes an amazing line of products that are very easy to apply and maintain. The Carnauba Quick Detailer goes on the car after washing (while the car is still wet) and works with the water to leave a beautiful ceramic glossy layer while you hand dry your vehicle.

Ceramic Spray Sealer: As mentioned before, FICTECH makes an amazing line of products that are very easy to apply and maintain. The Supercharged Ceramic Booster goes on the car after washing (while the car is still wet) and works with the water to leave a beautiful ceramic glossy layer while you hand dry your vehicle.From there it applies a very thin layer of ceramic coating to help protect your car until the next car wash. VERY DIY Friendly
