#2- Boutique car care tools
One of the cheapest exterior maintenance items your average car guy uses and performs on a regular basis is the ritualistic car wash. Some take it above and beyond your standard sponge and wash mitt routine while others might need a bit of assistance in using the right products. That’s where you can come in by providing some of the more expensive car care tools your recipient might not own. Here are a couple of boutique car care tools under $100 every car guys wishes he had if he doesn’t already own one.
- A Foam gun– If your gear head is on Instagram he’s probably come across these crazy car wash shots of other cars with the exterior completely covered in sudsy soap. Save for going to the local car wash, a simple sponge can’t pull off this Instagram-worthy car wash shot. That’s where a simple foam gun like this one from Amazon comes in handy. Simply load the gun with a bit of soap and away they go.
- A Dual action orbital polisher Yes, a good dual action orbital polisher can be had for around $100 or less. When buying one, make sure that reviews are at least decent and that the words “Dual action” are in the specifications. Regular orbital polishers, while effective, are best left to professionals. Dual action orbitals on the other hand are practically idiot proof.
- Basic Wash kits– If your car guy doesn’t ever wash his car, he might need some real help. This is where these all-in-one kits come in handy. $100 gets you a bucket, grit guard, towels, mitts, soaps, quick detailer sprays, quick waxes and applicators to make the entire process as easy as possible with all the right tools.
- A gift card from a highly reputed car care product provider- If you’d rather leave the heavy car care decisions to the recipient, hit up one of these fine car care product providers and purchase a gift card. There are other car care product providers out there but you really can’t go wrong with these ones.
