For proper washing of any vehicle, in addition to using the most suitable products, it is also important to have the proper equipment. For this reason, in addition to offering a very wide selection of gloves and microfiber cloths specific to each application, Mafra has created the new Wash Buckets e Rinse, designed for the double bucket technique, and the Mafra Detailing Brushes, designed for even more thorough cleaning of the exterior and interior of any vehicle.

The Wash Bucket is designed especially for the washing phase, allowing it to create a perfectly metered solution of water and shampoo. The Rinse Bucket is its ideal companion for the rinsing phase. An indispensable accessory for safe washing is the Grid Grit Safe: placed at the bottom of the buckets, it separates dirt and debris released by the glove or sponge used during washing, thus preventing the creation of swirls and scratches on the bodywork.
Mafra's new Detailing Brushes are made with a sturdy, flexible rubber handle that ensures a good grip during use, allowing you to operate in complete safety and with absolute precision during cleaning and washing. Available in 2 versions, Red and Lime, they are ideal for even more thorough cleaning of the exterior and interior of any vehicle. The Red Brush, with red bristles made from a blend of two polymers, is the ideal solution for treating exterior surfaces.
