About CAR GUYS
CAR GUYS is a car-care brand built around a single product family: multi-surface interior and exterior cleaning formulas developed with independent formulators and manufactured in the USA. By the company's own account, it started after its founders grew frustrated with over-priced, over-marketed detailing products on the market and set out to build their own, testing formulas batch after batch before release. The brand states that its products are non-toxic and biodegradable, and it sells almost entirely through Amazon, backed by its own site, carguysdetail.com, for brand information and direct orders.
The catalog is organized around a handful of core formulas -- Super Cleaner, Hybrid and Liquid Wax, Plastic Restorer, Tire Shine, and Wheel Cleaner -- most of which are also offered in bulk refill sizes. On RevRated, CAR GUYS Super Cleaner is featured in our interior cleaner testing: an 18-ounce all-purpose spray bundled with a microfiber towel that the brand markets as safe across carpet, upholstery, leather, vinyl, plastic, rubber, and glass. The product has built one of the deepest review bases we've seen in the category, with nearly 25,000 ratings on Amazon.

Why we recognized CAR GUYS
The RevRated Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our hands-on category reviews. CAR GUYS earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, run on real vehicles, and judged on merit.
CAR GUYS products we rated highly
CAR GUYS Super Cleaner (18 oz + Microfiber Towel)
Nearly 25,000 Amazon reviews across a diverse buyer base make the 4.5-star average a reliable signal of consistent real-world performance rather than a small sample that could still swing. The bundled microfiber towel is a genuinely practical inclusion -- it gives first-time buyers a purpose-matched applicator instead of leaving them to guess at the right cloth for sensitive surfaces. In our testing it handled the full interior surface range, from hard plastics and soft-touch rubber to fabric, vinyl, leather, and glass, without needing a separate product per surface.
