How to use your 2026 Sunset Sessions Kit
What's in it?
Inside the epic Kinda Clear Bucket, we've included some chilled out gear for washing, drying and adding some serious gloss to the outside of your car, plus an EXCLUSIVE air refresher, for this kit only.
The Sunset Sessions Kit includes:
Nanolicious Wash V2 500mL - Epic NEW formula you'll love relaxing with while treating your four wheeled friend to a sensual hand wash.
Tropic Like It's Hot 125mL - NEW instant calming refresher for those high stress moments.
Boss Gloss V2 - NEW formula, now even more lubricating and shinier than ever.
Shagtastic Wash Pad - Our plush shag pad, for safely removing funk and grime from your paint.
Twisted Juicy Sucker - Our 800GSM single sided twist loop drying towel, for fast and easy sucking.
Nanolicious V2
We'd recommend giving the car a pre clean first, either with our Snow Blow Cannon and Snow Job/Mega Snow Job, or simply rinse your vehicle down thoroughly with the pressure washer or the Jet setting on your hose end, to remove the heavier dirt and grime which reduces the risk of scratching your paint when you start washing.
Grab your Sunset Sessions Kit bucket and fill it 3/4 full of water. We'd also recommend grabbing a Rinse bucket available separately if you wish, and insert the Great Barrier Thingy into the bottom. We strongly recommend 2 buckets - one for clean rinse water, and one for your wash water.
The idea here is to dip your Shagtastic Wash Pad into the wash water, wash a section of the car, then bring your Shagtastic Wash Pad back to the clean rinse water and ring it out in there, before going back into the wash water and washing the next section, to stop dirt and contamination going into your wash water as much as possible. The addition of the Great Barrier Thingy will help stop dirt and grit from swirling back up and into your wash tool.
Fill up one capful of Nanolicious Wash and pour it into the bucket, giving the cap a good thrash around in the bucket. Agitate the bucket with your pressure washer or the Jet setting on your hose to mix the wash and produce a nice head of suds. Dip your Shagtastic Wash Pad into the wash suds and let the suds soak into it for a couple seconds (squeezing it gently can help it absorb the wash suds), then starting at the roof of the car, gently wash in a back and forth motion, then side to side so that you don't miss any spots. We prefer not to go in circles when washing - not because it will create swirl marks, but because when you do small circles, there's always a bit that you miss. When you wash up and down, then back and forth, you are guaranteeing that you don't miss any spots.
After washing the first section, dip your pad into the clean rinse water and thrash it about and/or squeeze the suds out so that any dirt or grime leaves the wash tool, then dunk it back into the wash suds and do the next section of the vehicle, leaving the lower dirtier sections till last. Once you've washed the whole car, rinse the suds off thoroughly (NOTE: if you're washing in the sun, rinse the suds off periodically - don't let them dry on the paint).
Fast and easy drying with the Twisted Juicy Sucker and Boss Gloss V2
The Juicy Sucker is our popular twist pile loop drying towel, and is used with Boss Gloss to enhance the drying experience. Based on a single sided version of the epic twist pile microfibre of the Twisted Pro Sucker, this 800GSM, 70cm x 40cm drying towel glides across the paint sucking up all the water in its path.
Spray 4-6 sprays of Boss Gloss into the Juicy Sucker and start drying your vehicle from the top, working your way down the car, drying any glass that may be in the sun first, to avoid getting water spots on the glass. If you find the cloth becomes waterlogged, it could be that you need to flood the panels of the vehicle a bit more, to remove more water before drying the car. But, it can also be wrung out if it gets full, so you can keep on sucking.
We also recommend drying the wheels and tyres before adding any tyre shine - give them a quick wipe over with a dedicated microfibre cloth like our Twisted Little Suckers to remove excess water.
See our detailed guide below on drying towels, and drying your vehicle safely.
Chill with Tropic Like it's Hot
Using refresher card: Put this card on your carpet and then mist 3 to 4 sprays onto each side of the card, leave it there till it's dry either hanging it in a non illegal spot or leave it in an open central spot in your cars' interior. Every few weeks you can further top it up with one or two more sprays whenever you feel it's needed.
Also spray: Spray the Tropic Like It's Hot directly into the carpets or fabric areas of the cars interior; 6 to 8 sprays evenly misted over each section we find is best, then shut up the doors and windows before letting settle for about 30 min.
