5 of the Best Exterior Car Accessories

Having exterior accessories is essential for keeping your car in good condition. Many people focus on keeping the inside of a car clean, but the exterior can quickly deteriorate without proper care. One of the best exterior accessories available on the market are car covers. They protect your car, SUV, or truck from harsh weather conditions. UV rays can destroy the exterior paint on a car, and car covers are designed to block the sun’s rays.

In addition to car covers, there’s a variety of exterior accessories you can find on our online store that you can use to keep your vehicle looking good and performing optimally. From dusting kits to ice scrapers to a gust strap, these are the best exterior car accessories you need.

Even if you protect your car with an excellent cover, it may still get dirty when you drive it around town or go on a road trip. That’s why having a car dusting kit in your trunk is useful for ensuring your car is spotless every time you hit the road. The kit comes with a microfiber car duster, two microfiber washing mitts, and six microfiber cloths.
