Each day, AutoGuide.com‘s Gear Editors spend hours researching helpful products for car owners. Our goal is to determine which products are worth your time and money as we hunt for the best products available. We base our suggestions on a number of factors, including reviews, ratings, brand recognition, features, pricing, value, and more. Our ultimate goal in researching and recommending products is to help narrow down your search, and streamline your online shopping process.

In this post, we’ve compiled the top 10 most popular items that have been purchased by you, our readers. Since these are the most popular products, they come from a broad cross-section of categories. If you’re just shopping around and looking for something new for your car, enjoy the list below!

1. Bosch ICON Windshield Wiper Blade

The Bosch ICON is a beam-style wiper blade and features a bracketless design with tension springs, helping keep the blade flexible while providing superior performance in all weather conditions. The company claims the ICON offers up to 40-percent longer life than other premium blades and its blade rubber was proved to be the most resistant to cracking from exposure to ozone compared to other major competitors’ brands. It also features an exclusive asymmetrical flexible spoiler design for effortless and quiet wiping. Bosch also promises the ICON is easy to install, thanks to a weather-shield double-locking connector.

While generally more expensive than other wipers available on the market, the Bosch ICON is considered the best by many of its users, although they may not necessarily be the best for you. If you live in an area that doesn’t experience a lot of rain or snow, you may not need a premium blade like the Bosch ICON. But if you like knowing you have one of the best performing wipers when it does rain or snow, then the Bosch ICON should be towards the top of your list.

Bosch wipers are also used as OEM equipment on various luxury German vehicles, such as Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, so you know it’s a quality product.

2. EPAuto Portable Air Compressor Pump

One of the highest-rated portable inflators on Amazon is the EPAuto 12-volt DC portable air compressor pump. Rated at 120 watts with an inflation speed of 1.06 CFM, this pump has a maximum working pressure of 100 PSI. There’s a digital gauge that reads in four display units: PSI, KPA, BAR, and kg/cm. Like similarly priced products, EPAuto’s inflator has an auto shutoff feature once it reaches the desired air pressure. The product also has an overheat protection, which automatically shuts off the compressor when it overloads.

Designed to inflate tires on cars, bikes, sedans, and midsize SUVs, this compressor does not support LT, HT, and truck tires. It does, however, come with adapters so it can be used on other inflatables. There is also a bright LED flashlight built-in for nighttime use.

The EPAuto portable air compressor pump weighs 3.81 lbs while measuring 9.6 inches by 7.8 inches by 5.4 inches.

3. Ampper Blind Spot Mirrors

One of the top sellers on Amazon, Ampper offers both round and square blind spot mirrors in packs of two or four. The round mirrors are two inch in diameter and features a curved, frameless, and ultra thin design. They can rotate 360 degrees and are sway adjustable, coming with a tiny adjustable swivel mounting bracket and 3M adhesive for easy installation.

The square mirrors measure 3.7 inches by 1.37 inches.

These mirrors are IP65 waterproof, rust resistant, and Amperr says the glass will not haze.

4. Meguiar's X2000 Water Magnet Microfiber Drying Towel

No collection of car cleaning supplies is complete without a high quality microfiber towel. Meguiar’s Water Magnet Drying Towel is our pick for the best, measuring 22 inches by 30 inches, allowing you to dry up a large surface area with a single wipe. You’ve already did all the hard work of washing your car, so why making drying it a chore? More importantly, effective drying is important to making sure water spots don’t end up on your car.

This drying towel is super absorbent, leaving a spot-free finish with no streaks. Compared to a traditional terry towel, it can absorb up to two times the water, which means less time being spent wringing it out. It’s also machine washable and since it’s a Meguiar’s product, you know its quality will last.

5. Relentless Drive Ultimate Car Wash Mitt

Did you think we forgot the most basic tool for washing a car? Almost seen as a necessity these days, avoid using a sponge or even a towel when it comes to washing your car by spending a few bucks on a high quality microfiber wash mitt. Available in two sizes as a single unit or a 2-pack is Relentless Drive’s Car Wash Mitt, which delivers a lint-free, scratch-free finish. Featuring double-sided chenille microfiber, these mitts are safe on any paint or delicate car surface. In case you’re wondering, microfiber holds more water than sheepskin and these thick, absorbent mitts can be machine washed for easy maintenance.

There is nothing overly fancy about these mitts, they’re just a high quality, affordable product that will do the job well.

6. ROLA Rainproof Cargo Carrier Bag

If you need more storage, ROLA offers another rainproof cargo carrier bag offering up to 20 cubic feet.

8. Mothers Wheel Brush

Depending on the design of your wheels, they may not be very easy to clean. It’s one of the more arduous tasks when it comes to washing your car, which is why we recommend a wheel brush. This product from Mothers is not only affordable, but one of the best for the job. It features a non-slip comfort grip and a protective rubberized bumper so you don’t have to worry about accidentally damaging your wheels while cleaning.

Packed with soft, gentle bristles, this wire brush is safe to use on all sorts of wheels to remove all that pesky brake dust. It also works great at reaching tight spots and you can even wash your fenders and bumpers with it.

10. 303 Instant Windshield Washer Tablets

These super concentrated tablets claim to deliver three times the cleaning power of an ordinary wash. Just one single tablet produces one gallon of windshield washer fluid, making this one of the most cost-effective products on our list. It may not be as easy as just pouring fluid into your reservoir, but it doesn’t take a lot of time to drop one tablet into a gallon of water either.

The solution is formulated to completely remove bugs, road film, dirt, and grime from your windshield after it’s been mixed. It is also non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for rubber and paint.

You can also add these tablets to anti-freeze windshield wash for winter use.
