The Brand

Shiny Garage

Shiny Garage is a car detailing brand from Poland that describes itself as the first Polish detailing brand, on the market since 2012. It says its products were developed by working with professionals and listening to customer suggestions, using raw materials from proven European and international suppliers combined with its own recipes. The brand's own shop is organised into washing, paint, interior, wheels and plastics, glass and decontamination products, alongside accessories and kits, so the range reaches every stage of a wash and detail.

At The Drivers HQ the Shiny Garage range covers quick detailers, interior cleaners and dressings, tyre care, glass, engine bay care and hanging air fresheners. For the paint there are Morning Dew QD and Wax, Carnauba Spray Wax V2 and Wet Protector, with Bug Off Insect Remover for the front end. Inside, Insider Interior Cleaner, the Interior Quick Detailer and Satin Interior Plastic Dressing look after the cabin, and Perfect Glass Cleaner does the glass. Pure Black Tire Cleaner and Coco Tire Booster clean and finish the tyres, Red Devil Engine Degreaser handles the engine bay, and the Spice air fresheners finish the job.

Shiny Garage suits drivers who want one brand for the finishing stages of a detail. After the wash, Pure Black Tire Cleaner cleans the tyres and Bug Off lifts insects from the front end. A spray wax or Morning Dew adds gloss, Coco Tire Booster finishes the tyres, and the interior cleaner, quick detailer and dressing look after the cabin.

Shiny Garage Detailing Bag 2.0 - The Drivers HQ

A Polish Detailing Brand Since 2012

Shiny Garage describes itself as the first Polish detailing brand and says it has been on the market since 2012. It credits its range to working with professionals and listening to the suggestions of its customers, and says its own recipes use raw materials from proven European and international suppliers. According to the brand, those ingredients and recipes are safe for users and friendly to the environment.

The brand calls itself a 100% Polish brand, explaining that it operates, employs people and pays its taxes in Poland. It says all waste created during production is recycled or reused, that its packaging carries full information on safety precautions, and that it runs training in the largest shops selling its products so staff can give customers reliable advice before they buy.

Car culture is part of the story too. Shiny Garage says it supports and takes part in around 30 motoring events and trade fairs every year, runs an ambassador programme that promotes people and their projects, and organises open days with partners where drivers can learn how to care for a car properly and see its products at work.

Shiny Garage Blue Snow Foam - The Drivers HQ

Snow Foams, Tyre Dressings and Wash Kit

Shiny Garage lists Fruit Snow Foam, a pH neutral foam, among the products it says it was first to bring to market, and it says a neutral pH means the foam does not harm waxes or sealants and is safe for ceramic coatings. Blue Snow Foam is the alkaline alternative, designed for autumn and winter washing to remove road dirt, mud and road salt without harming protective layers such as wax. It has a scent inspired by men's fragrance and comes in 1 L and 5 L sizes.

For tyres, Coco Tire Booster is a light, water-based dressing that the brand says gives either a matte or a light gloss finish depending on how it is applied. It can go onto dry or damp tyres, carries a coconut scent and, according to Shiny Garage, lasts up to 2 weeks, which suits a quick refresh before a meet or a show. Back 2 Black Polymer Tire Dressing is the alternative, a silicone free dressing that the brand says leaves a non-greasy satin finish.

The rest of the range at The Drivers HQ fills in the routine: Bug Off Insect Remover for stubborn dirt, Carnauba Spray Wax V2 and Morning Dew for extra gloss, Pure Black Tire Cleaner for the tyres and Red Devil Engine Degreaser for the engine bay. Insider Interior Cleaner and Satin Interior Plastic Dressing cover the cabin, and Perfect Glass Cleaner does the windows.
