Jimbo's Detailing
TOUGH AS SHELL
from $35.00
The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to shine and seal your car's paint, glass, trim, and rims for months. It creates a layer of protection that is simply hard as shell. It's a water-based microemulsion formula that creates relentless water beading and keeps your car looking shinier and cleaner for longer (we say 6+ months of protection), but we also use it more often because we like shiny cars. In just a few minutes, you can shine and seal your entire car! Walk away knowing your car now has a layer that is tough as shell.
Combined-release system curing allows for instant curing and full cure after 24 hours. It can be layered and exposed to water right away!
How Does It Protect?
Microscopic ninjas fill in the pores of the paintwork, and when dirt and contaminants try to land on it, they fight them off!
Not really, but that would be cool!
It's a unique 'micro-emulsion', which just means really, really small particles of 'protectant stuff' fill in the pores of the paintwork, creating a web-like matrix of protection on the surface. It also offers a ton of UV protection.
Combined with other 'special stuff', it bonds and sticks to the paint really well, creating an invisible layer between the outside elements and the surface of your car.
What this means in the real world is that your car will look cleaner for longer, and when you wash it (or have someone else wash it), it will be much easier, and the water will bead up like you've never seen before.
This Ain't Your Grandpas Wax
This stuff is jam-packed with the latest tech.
I know everyone says that, but honestly, it's true. It's not your grandpa's wax of yesteryear.
This is a water-based, highly reactive formula that's super easy to use and delivers incredible results. Your arms are not going to hurt after you use this.
In fact, it should only take you a few minutes to apply this to the entire car. Full cure is within 24 hours.
Does It Streak?
The simple answer is - NO.
No one likes a streaker - or do they?!
If you start getting streaks, it means that your towel is oversaturated, and you need to either flip it around or get a fresh new towel. Using a plush microfiber towel will help a lot with this.
This is also a highly concentrated formula, you won't need to use as much as other products you're used to.
DA FAQ?
How long does it last?
We say 6+ months. I've seen it go much longer, but 'under-promise and over-deliver' is my motto.
Does it offer UV protection?
With clear coats as thin as they are these days I personally never want anyone rolling around without protection on their cars surfaces. Yes UV protection is included in Hard As Shell!
Can it be layered?
Yes, I use this on my cars after almost every wash. You can also use it on top of an existing ceramic coating. Every few months or after a really nasty storm I like to mix Pure Magic Cleaner into my foam cannon and do a strip wash and then reapply Tough As Shell. See the video:
Can it pass a torture test?
Yes of course - I fully expect others to torture test the crap out of it. I did it first to make sure it will pass.
Can it be used as a drying aid?
Yes - you can use a few sprays per panel before you dry your car to add an extra layer of protection. It goes on smooth and does not streak!
What is the cure time?
Jimbo's Tough as Shell features what I like to call a "combined-release system". What this means is that it cures instantly and continues to fully cure after 24 hours. Unlike other ceramic sprays It can be exposed to rain and washing instantly, but will also continue to fully cure for 24 hours after application. This also means that you can layer it on top of itself right away as well.

PURE MAGIC CLEANER
from $20.00
Pure magic in a bottle! It tackles dirt that's been stuck on a surface forever, grime, water spots, mineral build up and even unclogs ceramic coatings. It works on paint, glass, trim, in a foam cannon (yes, it foams too) as a standalone cleaner or as a booster for your favorite soap. It's not just a cleaner - it's a performer; it makes magic happen right in front of your eyes. DO NOT USE ON INTERIORS - we have something else for that. Enjoy this magical potion and get the surface clean, clean.
How Does It Work?
We can't tell you - it's magic. Have you ever seen those shows that give you a behind-the-scenes look at how the magician does their trick? Once you see it, you can't unsee it. It ruins the fun and the magic.
OK, fine, we will tell you our secrets. When applied to the affected area, little tiny worker-bees rush to the pores of the paint and begin the work of removing the junk from the pores. 'Contaminants,' whether they be water spots, dirt, grime, fallout, or anything else, are simply embedding themselves into the surface. Those contaminants don't want to move; they like being in their little holes within the pores of the paint. This is where the magic comes in: the worker bees use specialized bait to get those contaminants out of their holes.
What this means in the real world is that you can easily and effectively use one product for multiple purposes. From boosting your existing car wash soap to removing the toughest water spots, eliminating paint contaminants, or cleaning nasty rims - that's what makes this product magical. Let the worker-bees do the heavy lifting, and you get to sit back and look like the hero!
What Makes This Product Different
We care about people and materials.
Most other 'acids' are extremely harsh to materials, environments, and people.
I set out to design a safer acid, one that would still perform and do the job that needs to be done, but not at the expense of people, the material it was being applied to, or the environment. I also didn't want it to make you feel like you were going to pass out after spraying it.
But could this even be done? I wasn't sure it could be. But after multiple iterations, we landed on the Pure Magic Cleaner - a name fitting for the first of its kind of product!
Be safe and don't settle for harsh hydrofluoric acids - opt for the Pure Magic Cleaner instead.
Does It Work On Ceramic Coatings?
The simple answer is - Yes.
It will remove hard water spots from the coating without damaging the coating underneath.
It can also be used to 'unclog' a ceramic coating that may have been bogged down by elements.
You can use this in a foam cannon or as a soap booster, too.
This is also a highly concentrated formula; you won't need to use as much as you would with other products you're used to.
How To Use Pure Magic Cleaner?
Do not use on interiors, polished aluminum or anodized wheels,or engines.
Always make sure the surface is cool to the touch before using. Test an inconspicuous spot before going all in with the magic.
For the most magic possible, after testing compatibility, spray it all over the issue and let it soak in for 30-60 seconds, then wipe or rinse away. For the really tough stuff, you can let it work its magic additional times and let it dwell on the surface for a little longer, just do notallow it to dry on the surface.

MASSIVE XL DRYING TOWEL
$30.00
Dry your car with one towel and be done.
This is a 'long pile microfiber' towel. What this means is this towel is super duper durable. It also should be called the 'water sucker' because it sucks - but in a good way. It sucks up all the water you don't want on the car.
Pro Tip: Pair this with Hard As Hell [which makes the water bead up like you've never seen before]. Between the water beading and this towel you're going to have a dry car in no time.

SOFTER THAN SOFT MICROFIBERS [3 PACK] / [10 PACK]
from $16.00
Microfibers are so important for keeping your car scratch- and swirl-free. They also help prevent products from streaking. Some towels are too thick and bunch up, while others are too thin and saturate with product too quickly. These towels offer the perfect blend. They're comfortable in your hand, don’t saturate quickly with product, and have one side that is slightly more plush than the other, giving you the best of both worlds when it comes to microfiber towels. These towels are softer than soft.

ALL DRESSED UP
$18.00
Jimbo’s All Dressed Up The fastest, easiest, and most adjustable multi-purpose shine ever! Like lots of gloss? Done. Like more of a matte finish? Done. It's your new favorite everything dressing. With its adjustable shine technology, you can go from satin, matte to high gloss, from exteriors to interiors, all with one product.
What is it?
The icing on the cake, the cherry on top, the final touch. It has many expressions, but one thing is for sure: when you add a silky smooth dressing to a surface, it makes it look all dressed up. Even if you have nowhere to go, putting the final dressing on a car makes the detail look completed. Water-based, highly dilutable, with UV protection included, All Dressed Up gives you instant shine and protection to your personal preference level. It's also hydrophobic and will last multiple washes.
If you like a sleek, low profile shine, just dilute it more. Want to be all blinged out and almost blind people when you drive by while you slip and slide on your seat? - use it straight up out of the bottle! This one 16oz bottle can provide upwards of 1 gallon worth of product.
How Does It Work?
Spray and Wipe. No Sling, No Streaks, No Mess. Some people like high shine, some people hate any gloss but want a factory look and feel. The best part of All Dressed Up is that you get to pick. Use the dilution ratios accordingly. Spray directly into an applicator [provided with bottle] or microfiber towel and apply to the surface; if you are working on a surface that allows for overspray, you can spray directly onto the surface, just wipe away any extra on surfaces you don’t want it on.
Do I Have To Dilute It?
No, but it's really shiny if you don't.
If you want it all blinged out, use it straight out of the bottle. If you prefer a satin or matte finish, I suggest diluting it with 1 oz of product for every 4 oz of water [4:1]. If you're more in the mood to use it on the interior or want a straight factory look, I suggest diluting it with 1 oz of product for every 6 oz (or more) of water [6:1].
Does it work on all plastic?
Yes, it will work on all plastic inside and outside of your car, rubber too!
How long does it last?
Do you live in a wet climate? Is it snowing outside right now? Is the sun out? Do you live in the desert? Did you apply it at 6:1, 4:1, 1:1, or straight? Do you prefer a high shine or more of a matte finish...? Do you see my point?
For me personally, I like a shinier tire, so I use it at a 1:1 ratio. I also have aggressive tires on my car. I spray it on the tires and let it soak in for about 5 minutes. Then, I take my applicator, prime it with 2 sprays from the bottle, and even out the tire shine on the tire. Once I have gone around all the tires, I come back with a dry microfiber towel and once again even out the tire shine. I like shiny tires, not tire shine down the side of my car, and chances are, you don't either.
If I'm using it on the interior of my car, i.e., dashboard, leather/vinyl seats, or all-weather mats, I dilute it 6:1. Then, I spray usually into a microfiber towel wipe it onto the surface, let it dwell, and come in with a dry microfiber towel to level it off so it's not slippery.
Can I layer it - or should it be cleaned off every time?
Everyone has their own style of detailing and cleaning their car. My personal style is that I will usually go a few weeks to a month or so before I completely strip off any old tire shine with Jimbo's Pure Magic Cleaner. This can be layered on your tire or trim multiple times and does not build up. This is one of the unique features of 'All Dressed Up.' It can layer without building up and looking like you tried putting a bucket of grease on your tires. It also will not make your tires brown after a rainstorm like most other tire dressings do.
Does it attract dust?
It can, but not if you use it at a higher dilution ratio as recommended. Again, everyone has their own style of detailing, and I'm not here to tell you what to do. However, I am here to let you know how you will get the best result and share my personal preference.
For interiors, use at a 6:1 dilution (you can even dilute it more if you want even less shine). My personal style for interior is I apply this once a month and wipe down the entire interior weekly with a dry microfiber towel ONLY. It keep the interior of my car super easy to clean and always looking factory fresh.
If you live on a dirt road in the middle of the desert and never see pavement I would use a 6:1 or higher dilution on the exterior of you car as well, this will keep the shine low but provide a great layer of protection to keep your tires and trim looking great!
