You can now find products like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Little-Trees-M59\/\">Little Trees Air Fresheners<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Aztec-M60\/Hot-Rod-Extractor-P741\/\">Aztec Hot Rod Extractor<\/a>, and many new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Brushes-C100\/\">DI Brushes<\/a>! Check out all of our new products <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/New-Products\/\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/SM-Arnold-M61\/Speedy-Surface-Prep-Towel-P743\/Fine-Grade-S1\/\">SM Arnold Speedy Surface Prep Towel<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Optimum-OPT-M36\/Opti-Eraser-P740\/Fine-Grade-S1\/\">Optimum Opti-Eraser<\/a> are two revolutionary products to the detailing community. They will safely remove paint over spray, light water marks, tree sap, rail dust, road grime and other extra stubborn surface contaminants safely and easily. Simply spray the surface with a copious amount of lube and remove this contamination with ease! Will these products replace the clay bar completely? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<p>We also have a few great new polishes in stock! From Meguiar&#8217;s we have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Pro-Speed-Compound-M100-P732\/32-oz-S1\/\">M100<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Foam-Cut-Compound-M101-P715\/32-oz-S1\/\">M101<\/a>. Both are polishing compounds that can remove heavy imperfections while finishing down extremely well. M100 is very similar to M101, but a more affordable option.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Detailed Image News!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><\/strong>We are currently running a promotion to give away a FREE Griot&#8217;s Garage Second Generation Buffer on February 4th!
