I’m one of those people who always takes good care of their cars, not only mechanically but also aesthetically. My car(s) are always the cleanest in the neighborhood, some of my friends have gone as far as saying “I take better care of my cars than they do their girlfriends”, I wouldn’t go that far but I do love a shiny clean car, inside and out. I have used Armor All wash & wax, tire cleaners, window wipes, and other great product since the mid 90’s and today’s post is a review of the Armor All Ultimate Car Lover’s Gift Pack.
The Armor All Ultimate Car Lover’s Gift Pack comes in a nice compact package that includes everything you’ll need to get your vehicle to shine like a star. The package includes Armor All Extreme Wheels & Tire Cleaner, Ultra Shine Wash & Wax, Ultra Shine Tire Foam Protection, Cleaning Wipes, Original Protectant, Glass Cleaner, s Wash Mitt, and a Microfiber towel.

Overall Armor All left us pretty impressed by the “Ultimate Car Lover’s Gift Pack”. The products, quite simply put, deliver on their promise. It’s not rocket science, they keep the package simple and complete from exterior-care to interior-care. The only thing you will need besides in addition to this kit is some extra rags or cloths, but that’s just us being picky, you can do a pretty good job with simply what’s included in the kit.
The wash and wax mixes well with cold water, it didn’t seem to leave soap stains, and left a nice glossy shine after drying.
The wheel and tire cleaner was fast and effective, after spraying it on, we literally watched as it melted off most of the stains, brake dust, and grime, in about 45 seconds. You can wash off your wheel to noticeable results; we recommend a scrub with a rag while the product is still on the tire and wheel for even better results especially if the wheels are extremely dirty. The tire foam leaves a wet tire shine with no effort at all, spray on, let it set and you’re done.
The glass cleaner is very strong on dirty windows without having a harsh smell and didn’t leave streaks or a film, a welcome surprise. The interior cleaning wipes are handy and effective and cover a fair amount of space before needing a replacement unlike several competitive products we’ve used before. The interior cleaner spray left a glossy clean finish and light scent without the greasy finish we have come to hate about a lot of products out there.
Finally the microfiber cloth and wash mitt included are of good quality and seem durable, they are machine washable for easy cleaning and should last a long time for many cleaning days to come.

I like to use a bucket with a filter at the bottom. Keeps the dirt at the bottom of the water, so you don’t rub it into your paint. That’s my tip for the day.
