I could just as easily put this in “Unsung Heroes,” or in “Cheap Finds,” but really, Majestic Solutions deserves higher accolades than that.  –Karl

There are certain items that I wouldn’t be without as a detailer.  A lot of those products are from a company you may have never heard of: Majestic Solutions.  Majestic Solutions (MS for short) is a small, family owned company in Raleigh, NC, that makes many of its products right there in the back of their building.  Mostly, they service NC area auto dealers and car washes through their delivery truck business.  They also have a small, but well stocked, retail store up front.  And it’s here where I (and my buddy JL) buy a whole bunch of the products I use the most of.  Here are my three favorites.

Just for a start, their flagship car soap, Ultra Gloss, is my absolute favorite soap.  It’s seriously slick.  It suds up great.  It smells like cherries.  And it’s loaded with polymers, so it’s like washing a car with a big bucket of high-end quick detailer.  I’ve tried many of the high end, “boutique” soaps, and Ultra Gloss is my easy favorite.  Price independent.  Nevermind that the stuff costs $20…a gallon.

Super Green Stuff all-purpose cleaner is another one that I use every time I detail a car.  It’s my de-facto wheel cleaner.  I use it in engine bays and wheel wells, on tires, on rubber trim, anything that needs a thorough cleaning.  You cut it 3:1 (water:product) for the toughest tasks, so it’s very cost effective.  It even smells good.  And it’s only $12/gallon!

Maybe most impressive, though, is one of their carpet cleaners, called Extraction Plus.  Seriously.  I don’t know how it’s possible, but stains just…disappear.  It’s eerie.  You spray it on, agitate, blot it up, and that’s it.  I can not overstate how amazing this stuff is.  And you cut it 10:1 (water:product), so a quart bottle lasts for a really long time.  It smells great, too.  I’ll put it this way.  My mother has three cats and three dogs.  She needs a good carpet cleaner.  She’s hooked on Extraction Plus.  Only problem is, it works so well, that it leaves the surrounding, uncleaned areas looking a little dingy.  It’s that good.

I’ve probably got a dozen or more Majestic Solutions products in regular rotation, but those three are the real standouts.  Their website doesn’t look like much, and they don’t have fancy bottles and boutique labels.  But try them out anyway.  Excellent, excellent stuff.
