The Quan Collection: Car Wash Soap, Tire Shine, Wheel Cleaner & Detailing Chemicals

The Quan Collection is Auto Care Genius’ signature lineup of car detailing supplies built for simple routines and consistent results. If you’re shopping for car washing products like car soap, ceramic shampoo, wheel & tire cleaner, tire shine, quick detailer, glass cleaner, degreasers, and iron remover, you’re in the right place. Start with the weekly-wash staple Quan Pink Car Soap, keep coated paint happy with Quan Purple Ceramic Shampoo, and finish with slingless tire shine.

Many Quan products are concentrated, so one bottle stretches across many washes — follow the dilution instructions on each label and start with the recommended ratios. The line covers every step of the wash bay: car wash soap, wheel cleaners, tire shines & dressings, and APCs & degreasers — all formulated to work together in one simple routine.

What Is the Quan Collection?

Quan is Auto Care Genius’ house brand of premium car detailing chemicals — the products our own detailers reach for every day. Each Quan product does one job well and is named by what it does: Pink washes, Purple maintains ceramic coatings, Brown cleans wheels without harsh acids, Purge pulls embedded iron, Gleam clears glass, and Wave handles the all-purpose cleaning in between. Most formulas are concentrated for value, and the whole line builds into a start-to-finish wash routine.

Which Quan Wash Is Right for Your Car?

Four washes, four jobs — pick by how your paint is protected and how you like to wash:

Regular weekly washes: Quan Pink Car Soap Concentrated — the go-to car soap for consistent cleaning and great value per wash.
Ceramic-coated cars: Quan Purple Ceramic Shampoo pH Neutral — a pH-neutral maintenance wash that cleans without degrading your coating.
Clean + shine in one step: Quan Green Wash & Wax Concentrated — washes and leaves light wax protection behind in a single pass.
No hose? No problem: Quan EcoX Waterless Quick Detailer (3-in-1 Wash) — spot cleaning, waterless wash, and gloss in one spray.

Wheels, Tires & Exterior Cleaning

Quan Brown Acid-Free Tire & Wheel Cleaner tackles brake dust without harsh acids — the safer everyday choice, especially paired with the right detailing brushes. For wheel jobs that call for different chemistry, the line also includes Quan AcidX — always match the cleaner to your wheel finish. Hit bug splatter and road film with Quan BugX Insect & Grime Remover before it etches the paint.

Tire Shine & Dressings

Pick your finish: Quan Blue Tire Shine for a rich, glossy tire finish, Quan Orange (Slingless) for a clean look with less sling and mess, or Quan Clear (Non-Silicone). For trim and multi-surface duty, Quan Finish Dress All is a concentrated water-based dressing you dilute to the sheen you want.

All-Purpose Cleaner & Heavy-Duty Degreaser

Quan Wave All Purpose Cleaner is the versatile APC for interior and exterior tasks — door jambs, floor mats, plastics, wheel wells. When regular cleaners aren’t enough, step up to Quan Red Pure Heavy Duty Degreaser for engine bays and heavy grime. Both are concentrates — dilute per the label for the job at hand.

Glass & Specialty Cleaners

Quan Gleam Glass Cleaner Concentrated (Ammoniated) is made for clean, clear glass — follow label guidance and test first on tinted film. Quan Detach Adhesive Remover lifts sticker residue without endless scraping, and Quan Fuse Lacquer Paint Thinner & Cleaner covers specialty jobs (always follow label directions).

Decontamination & Protection

Washing removes loose dirt — it doesn’t remove embedded iron. Quan Purge Iron & Decon Remover dissolves embedded contamination before you add protection, then Quan Armor Protection Ceramic Shielding locks in the work. Between washes, Quan Lustre Detailer with Carnuba Wax tops up gloss with light protection.

Towel Care & Cabin Extras

Dirty towels scratch paint — Quan Wash Microfiber Laundry Detergent keeps your microfiber towels absorbent and residue-free. For the finishing touch inside, Quan Scents Concentrated Liquid Air Freshener delivers long-lasting fragrance a few drops at a time.

Build a Simple Quan Routine (Starter Path)

Wheels & tires first. Spray Quan Brown Acid-Free Tire & Wheel Cleaner, agitate, and rinse — doing wheels first keeps brake dust off clean paint.
Wash. Use Quan Pink Car Soap for regular washes — or Quan Purple Ceramic Shampoo if your car is ceramic-coated. Dilute per the label and wash top-down.
Deep clean as needed. Before any wax or coating — or whenever paint feels rough — use Quan Purge Iron & Decon Remover, then protect with Quan Armor Ceramic Shielding.
Finish glass and tires. Clear the windows with Quan Gleam Glass Cleaner (test first on tinted film), then dress clean, dry tires with Quan Orange Slingless or Quan Blue Tire Shine.
Maintain between washes. Keep Quan EcoX Waterless Quick Detailer or Quan Lustre Detailer in the trunk for touch-ups, and launder towels with Quan Wash Microfiber Detergent.

Quan Collection FAQ

What is the Quan Collection?

The Quan Collection is Auto Care Genius’ house lineup of premium car detailing supplies and car washing products — car soap, ceramic shampoo, wheel & tire cleaner, tire shine, quick detailer, glass cleaner, degreasers, iron remover, and more. Each product does one job well, and the line builds into a simple start-to-finish routine.

Is Quan Purple safe for ceramic-coated cars?

Yes — that’s exactly what it’s for. Quan Purple Ceramic Shampoo is pH neutral, meaning it cleans without stripping wax, sealant, or ceramic coating. Harsh alkaline soaps gradually break down a coating’s protection; a pH-neutral maintenance shampoo is the standard recommendation for coated vehicles.

What’s the difference between the Quan tire shines?

Quan Blue gives a rich, glossy tire finish. Quan Orange (Slingless) is built for a clean look with less sling — product staying on the tire instead of flinging onto your paint when you drive off. Quan Clear is the non-silicone option, and Quan Finish Dress All is a concentrated water-based dressing for tires and trim.

What is an all purpose cleaner (APC) and where do I use it?

An APC is one concentrated cleaner you dilute to different strengths for different jobs — stronger for wheel wells and grime, weaker for interior plastics. Quan Wave All Purpose Cleaner covers most interior and exterior detailing tasks; when regular cleaners aren’t enough, step up to Quan Red Pure Heavy Duty Degreaser. Start with the label’s recommended ratios.

When should I use an iron remover like Quan Purge?

Use it when paint feels rough after washing, or before applying any wax, sealant, or coating. Quan Purge Iron & Decon Remover dissolves embedded iron contamination (brake dust, rail dust, fallout) that washing leaves behind, so protection like Quan Armor Ceramic Shielding bonds to clean paint for a smoother finish.

How do I wash microfiber towels correctly?

Use a dedicated microfiber detergent like Quan Wash Microfiber Laundry Detergent to keep towels absorbent and reduce residue buildup. Skip fabric softener — it clogs the fibers — and wash microfiber separately from cotton so it doesn’t pick up lint. Clean towels are what keep your microfiber paint-safe.
