【Weekend Car Care】Use “Specialized Wear” for car washing! A water-repellent setup without hardware that won't damage your beloved car

Just as there are golf clothes for golf and running clothes for running, it's perfectly fine to have “car wash clothes” for the time spent with your beloved car. The specialized car wash setup “AUTOCLEAN DETL,” developed over five years from this idea, is impressively finished.

The joy of being able to choose clothes based on the same standards as chemicals and mitts.

People who love washing cars choose their chemicals according to the dirt, change their cloths based on the area they are wiping, and even consider the hardness of the bristles on their wheel brushes. The time spent carefully selecting each tool that will touch their beloved car is a blissful moment for car wash enthusiasts. "AUTOCLEAN DETL" adds the option of "wearing clothes" to that experience.

The most notable feature of this setup is its design, which thoroughly removes hard parts from the surface of the clothing. All the buttons on the top are concealed inside the placket, and there are no pockets. The bottoms have no buttons, hooks, zippers, or belt loops; instead, they use an easy waist that adjusts with elastic and cords. When reaching to the center of the roof or leaning in to wipe the back of the hood, the only thing next to the vehicle is the fabric surface. This liberates you from the worry of "Did something just hit me?" allowing you to focus on cleaning hard-to-reach areas.

The fabric used is from "tAAAm," a high-performance material brand of the textile specialized trading company Tamura Koma, founded in 1894. Thanks to the C0 water-repellent treatment that easily repels water droplets, you can reach out without worry even if water splashes on your chest, sleeves, thighs, or knees.

With 2WAY stretch that stretches both vertically and horizontally, it accommodates the specific movements of washing cars, such as reaching out with your arms or twisting your body to crouch deep. The knees are reinforced with a double structure, making it comfortable for washing tires while lowering your body close to the ground. By using a lightweight fabric of about 95g/m2 in a single-layer, unlined construction, it also considers breathability.

Above all, the charm lies in the design that balances the stitching of authentic workwear to be suitable for everyday wear. Instead of changing clothes after washing the car, you can neatly store your tools and head straight to the driver's seat. You can drive off with your freshly cleaned beloved car to cafes, car events, or meeting places for touring.

With its high versatility, it can be worn easily during activities like camping, BBQs, fishing, and traveling, where you may get splashed with water and move your body significantly. To materialize the intentions of the details, production is chosen to be domestically done with sewing from Shimane Prefecture.
