ABOUT US

Our Story

Detail Guardz was born from a simple observation and a desire to solve a common problem in automotive detailing. While working in the industry, our founder Carmine Santarelli noticed a makeshift method being used to prevent hoses and cords from getting stuck around car tires. It was clever—but far from perfect.
With a background in mold-making and product design, he saw an opportunity to create something better. What started as a small idea quickly evolved into a purpose-built tool designed to make detailing smoother, faster, and more professional. That idea became the Detail Guardz Hose Guide—a uniquely engineered solution that allows hoses to glide effortlessly around tires without snagging or causing frustration.
Since the launch, the response from detailers around the world has been overwhelmingly positive. Encouraged by that support, we’ve expanded our product line to include a range of innovative tools that address the everyday challenges of automotive detailing.
Our commitment to innovation and quality has already earned global recognition ; our products are shipped to over twenty-five countries. One of our flagship products, the Dirt Lock Pad Washer, was honored with the SEMA Global Media Product Award, a prestigious accolade that celebrates cutting-edge design and functionality in the automotive industry.
Today, Detail Guardz is proud to offer smart, practical solutions that elevate the detailing experience—whether you're a professional or an enthusiast. Our mission is simple: to make your work easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable.
