Washing your car by hand is one of the best ways to keep it looking great, but doing it right takes more than just soap, a sponge, and a bucket. A foam cannon not only makes the job easier, it also helps lift dirt and grime off the surface without damaging the paint. It's a relatively simple tool that provides a big difference in both results and efficiency. The AstroAI Foam Car Wash Gun is a great DIY option for at-home car care, and it's currently on sale for $23 at Amazon.

The adjustable foam dial lets you choose from five density levels depending on how dirty your vehicle is. A wide-angle nozzle improves coverage, and the built-in trigger lock allows for continuous spray without fatigue. It also features an ergonomic handle with a concave grip for easy handling, and it comes with a scaled soap reservoir so you can monitor soap levels as you go. One shopper wrote, 'The car wash foam gun sprayer is a practical and efficient tool for achieving a thorough car wash at home. Designed to connect to a garden hose, it transforms regular water into a rich foam that helps to lift dirt and grime off the vehicle's surface without causing scratches.' Reviewers are loving the results from this foam cannon. One called it the 'perfect way to clean,' while another said, 'I couldn't be happier.' It's become a staple for many users, with one customer saying it's 'an essential part of my car cleaning routine.' Buyers also describe it as 'practical,' 'convenient,' and 'quality.' Another summed it up as 'the best beginner foam cannon' for anyone getting into proper car care at home. With Prime Day kicking off this week, Amazon deals are constantly changing.

Amazon is selling a ‘convenient' $40 tire inflator for just $20, and shoppers say it's a ‘must-have' in your car
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Autoblog aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. It's summer, and that means it's a great time to hit the road. Whether you're traveling for the Fourth of July or preparing for an upcoming road trip, you want to stay safe this summer and keep your vehicle well-equipped in case of emergencies. Getting a tire inflator is a great way to do that, and Amazon just happens to have one for $20 off. The AstroAI L7 Tire Inflator is on sale for just $20 right now, which is 50% off the original $40 price tag. This product boasts over 900 five-star ratings at Amazon and shoppers say it 'comes in clutch when you have a flat tire' and that you 'can't beat the price.' AstroAI L7 Tire Inflator, $20 (was $40) at Amazon Inflating tires doesn't have to be confusing — and this inflator ensures it isn't. With its advanced sensor technology, this item can gather pressure data from tire inflators at a frequency of 200 times per second. That gives you the information you need for the perfect pump, as the clear display will tell you exactly what you need. The inflation process is a breeze too, thanks to an automatic shutoff feature that'll provide the precise PSI and then stop before overinflation becomes an issue. And since this inflator is less than a pound, it can be stored in your vehicle with ease and inflate everything from car tires to basketballs. In addition, it's more than just an air pump, as this accessory employs a flashlight mode that'll illuminate your workspace and help in a potential roadside bind. 'Inflating tires is quick and effortless,' one shopper said. 'I used it on both my car and mountain bike, and it handled both with no problem. The digital display is bright and easy to read, showing both current and target PSI. I especially appreciate the dual values display — it saves me from second-guessing how much more air I need.' 'This is a must-have for yourself or a loved one,' another reviewer said. 'I ordered three of these because it's small, easy to use, and convenient. I made sure to put one in my daughter's car just in case, also because it has the red SOS blinking light for emergencies. Comes with accessories you'll need. But everyone should have one.' The AstroAI L7 Tire Inflator is 50% off and has been purchased over 10,000 times in the past month at Amazon. As a result, it's best to score this inflator ASAP before the generous offer deflates forever. About the Author Daniel Donabedian View Profile

No more distracted digging around for loose animal crackers or, worse, my cell phone, when everything goes flying out of the center console. — Marc Wiesyk, director, data analytics Read our review Drive Auto Car Trunk Organizer Before we got this organizer, the trunk of our car was so messy that it was impossible to find anything in there. It easily fits car cleaning supplies, emergency tools, hiking shoes, grocery bags and more. And since it comes with straps to tie it down, it always stays in place (even on bumpy rides). — Amina Lake Patel, home and gifts editor Hotor Car Trash Can Garbage piles up so quickly in the car, especially when you have a long commute or go on a road trip. This small trash can hooks onto the headrest so that you have a dedicated place to put all of your straw wrappers, used napkins and more. It definitely saves my husband and me from having constant fights about the car being messy. The same small garbage bags that I use in my bathroom trash can fit in here, so I don't need to add anything else to my Subscribe & Save order. — Amina Lake Patel, home and gifts editor Read our review WeatherTech Cargo Trunk Liner I was gifted the WeatherTech Cargo Liner a few years back, and it remains my most useful car accessory. It fits into my trunk seamlessly and has protected my interior while moving to Texas and Northern California and taking countless road trips with an overstuffed trunk. Most recently, it saved me from the never-ending task of cleaning up sand after testing beach wagons and beach umbrellas. I just pulled it out of the trunk, gave it a rinse and placed it back inside. WeatherTech offers this liner for multiple makes and models, so you can find one to fit your vehicle exactly. — Gareen Puglia, associate testing writer Armor All Car Cleaning Wipes If you have a dark interior, you'd be surprised at just how dirty it can get. I've been using these wipes for 20+ years, and they're an affordable way to keep your car clean. They easily and quickly wipe away all kinds of dirt and grime. I also appreciate that they don't leave my hands feeling sticky or gross. — Lindsey Smith, newsletter editor Smell House Paper Wrapped Anywhere Freshener After moving and a few trips to the beach, I felt like my car needed a refresh. This Smell House Anywhere Freshener in the scent Paper Wrapped does the trick. It's a powerful fragrance that actually smells good, unlike other air fresheners that emit an artificial scent. — Gareen Puglia, associate testing writer The Thrifty Handmade Daisy Vent Clip The majority of my time spent in the car is stuck in traffic, so I like to decorate it with things that make me happy. This handmade vent clip never fails to put a smile on my face. Plus, it's not just for show. Put a few drops of essential oil on it and you'll make your car smell great. — Lindsey Smith, newsletter editor Cleanwaste The Original Wag Bag Toilet Kit, 12-Pack I sometimes go backpacking and camping where you aren't allowed to dig cat holes, so I've gotten very familiar with using Wag Bags. And while I haven't had to use one in this context yet, I always keep one or two in my car just in case of an emergency. — Kai Burkhardt, outdoors, sustainability and pet editor Sinsen Car Safety Hammer Set When I got my first car 20 years ago, the first thing my parents put in it was one of these. Thankfully, I haven't had to use it yet, but it makes me feel better knowing it's there. I keep it within arm's reach in case of an emergency. It's affordable and should be in everyone's car. — Lindsey Smith, newsletter editor Rightline Gear Moki Ascent Car Door Step If you load gear on top of your car on any sort of regular basis, this door step is a game changer. I'm often climbing on top of my car, whether I'm strapping up a kayak, rooftop tent or crash pads for climbing. Every time I need to get up there, I break out this little gadget and it makes accessing the roof so much easier. — Kai Burkhardt, outdoors, sustainability and pet editor AstroAI Portable Tire Inflator If you're like me and get anxious when your tire pressure drops while you're away from home, a portable air compressor can come in clutch. Skip paying to add air to your tires at a gas station and keep this easy-to-use machine in your trunk. It pays for itself after just a few uses. Bonus: It's also great for bikes, lawn mowers, balloons and more. — Lindsey Smith, newsletter editor Rhino USA Folding Survival Shovel With Pick During the warm months, I love to drive on dirt roads and do a little offroading, but if there's one rule to offroading, it's that you need to be able to rescue yourself if you get stuck. I have more gear to help me do that, but one tool I think everyone should keep in their car is a foldable shovel. I have this one from Rhino USA, and I really like it because it folds up into a tiny bag that's easy to stash. — Kai Burkhardt, outdoors, sustainability and pet editor ESR Qi2 Car Mount Charger I don't have GPS or Apple CarPlay in my car, so my phone is my only method of navigation. After testing 14 car phone holders, this one emerged as the best because it mounted my handheld in the perfect position, kept it charged and even actively cooled it with a built-in fan. If you have an iPhone 16, this identical, slightly pricier model has updated firmware optimized for the newer phone. — Joe Bloss, associate testing writer Read our review Saucemoto Dip Clip As a self-proclaimed 'sauce queen,' I consider my sauce holders a can't-drive-without car essential. No matter the origin of the sauce, the adjustable sizing ensures your ranch, honey mustard or sweet and sour sauce has a safe, accessible home in your car, ensuring many miles of delicious, drivable delights. –– Hayley Kinne, senior manager, business development Ogland Furry Steering Wheel Cover My car's name is Steven, and he has a very specific style. This furry steering wheel cover from Amazon has to be one of my favorite accessories. It's worn over time but still has a fuzzy feel I love holding onto. And yes, it's easy to drive with. The texture might not work for everyone, but we must make sacrifices for fashion. — Gareen Puglia, associate testing writer TeeTurtle The Original Reversible Penguin Plushmate I love this adorable stuffed penguin because it can help me process my emotions while driving. If I'm having a good day and I'm driving to a hike, he's happy. But if I'm stuck in traffic and it's raining, he's sad. Is it life-changing? No. But it brings me joy whenever I hop into my car. — Kai Burkhardt, outdoors, sustainability and pet editor CNN Underscored has a team of skilled writers and editors who have many years of experience testing, researching and recommending products, and they ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted.
