Accessories and auto chemistry
Practical accessories and care chemistry in one section - for the road, for safety and for keeping the car in shape.
Accessories and care products - what to look for where
This section joins two worlds: accessories - from a jack and a child seat to a roof rack - and auto chemistry, meaning washing, polishing and care products. Covers, key remotes and luggage boxes live here too.
What should always be in the car
The experienced driver's minimum kit has not changed in years:
- A jack and a wheel nut wrench, together with a pressure gauge
- A tow strap and jumper cables for the battery
- A fire extinguisher and road safety signs
- In winter - anti-slip chains if you drive mountain roads
Universal or model-specific
Some accessories fit any car - a phone holder, an air pump, a jump starter. Others demand exact matching: seat covers depend on dimensions, a roof rack on the roof type and mounting system, a tow hitch on the specific model. Always compare the compatibility stated in the listing with your car.
Auto chemistry - each surface gets its own product
The main rule of care chemistry is simple: every surface has its own line. A body cleaner is not meant for cabin plastics, leather needs its own care product, and glass and headlights theirs. The result often comes down to technique - microfiber and the right sponge are the cheapest way to avoid scratches. And if you want a professional finish, washing and care services are a separate section.
