I use hotLap on all of my cars along with the foam cannon and it works great! I use the OneWiper and NewShoes to finish them off. I do wish you would bring back your gallon sizes though.

Frequently Answered Questions
In the same time it would take 3 or 4 guys at your local car wash to swirl your paint and leave greasy dressings all over your tires and dash for $20 a pop, you can get the same shiny protection and clean a $200 detail service would provide — but for as little as $5 per wash.The cost difference comes down to the formulas. If you purchase the accessories, those will increase your upfront cost per wash, but they last for years (unless you're washing hundreds of cars a month, which is not normal use).A bottle of HotLap lasts about 8–15 washes depending on vehicle size. A bottle of OneWiper lasts around 6–10 washes depending on usage. A bottle of NewShoes can last up to a full year if applied properly.
Absolutely. But let's get down to the reality and the disclaimers, since there's so much nuance. Let's imagine your car was your house for a second. Imagine your home was a palace instead of a condo, would that change the process of cleaning it? Yes, a ton. So clearly size matters right? Now, imagine there was a family of raccoons living in your house while you were on vacation. Would it be messier and take longer to clean when you got back? Yep (and gross). So clearly there are different types of dirty and degrees to cleaning. So now that we got the silly imagining out of the way, let's be real. Size matters, degree of dirty matters, and how often you clean it matters. The larger the car and the longer between washes you go, the longer it takes. For a weekly or bi-monthly maintenance wash on a daily driven sedan, this could be 20-30 minutes, sometimes less if it's ceramic coated for example. But on a large SUV, it will take longer, like 30-40 minutes. then if you take either of these and don't wash them for a month or 2, or take them offroading, you might end up adding a couple extra steps and 10-15 minutes to the process. What we promise is that this kit gives you the option and the tools to enhance the experience, avoid wasting steps and time, and if you usualy take a long time, it will be relatively faster. We have an extensive guide on some of the variations to approach washing with that change the timeline (also, tools matter like if you blow dry or not etc). Study our processes to get the most out of it, and you'll be getting 20 min maintenance washes in no time (unless its a huge vehicle or just a more stubborn design shape).
No! But let's be clear. This is as close as it gets to a 'touchless' wash soap while still being safe on all surfaces. Unlike touchless cleaners out there that use caustic ingredients to acheive maximum cleaning, but never fully clean without contact and leave you with hard water stains, we rely on softening and dissolving film and then cleaning it up with Step 2. This won't leave your car 'possibly' clean, it will leave your car clean, decontaminated, and protected everywhere you wipe with Step 2.
Our approach is made for pressure washing. Applying HotLap with a foam cannon is recommended for Step 1, followed by pressure washing the emulsified dirt and product off the panel. Watch our video here: https://youtu.be/Y6jm-q6vWC8 This soap also works for bucket washing and diliuting in spray bottles though.

Blowers are recommended but not necessary. Watch our tutorial video for recommendations on 'wet wipe downs' without a blower. Pairing Step 2 with a good towel is essential for a shiny finish. Smaller drying towels are better to avoid dirt build-up.
None of the products harm your paint. In fact, our wash process is designed to protect your paint long term. Just don't let soap dry in the sun. Use a shaded location or work quickly to avoid soap stains.
Our system is perfect for ceramic coated and wrapped or PPF'd surfaces. For ceramic coatings, which were specifically invented for chemical resistance, the main culprit for diminishment is abrasion with contact. Our system not only reduces necessary contact during the heavy lifting (chemically speaking), and doesn't rely on lubrication while washing alone, but it also involves adding back to the coating every time you wipe with Step 2. This inherently maintains the coating better. PPF and wraps are a slightly different story because they are made out of softer materials. Our formula's ingredients are selected and made to be diluted so as to not being harmful to plastics and vinyl, PPF included. Then Step 2 creates further protection for these materials as a sacrificial barrier so they last as long as possible. Follow our protocol to stay safe and get the best results.

Make a better product. I washed it as you prescribed and still had a layer of dirt.
Store owner replied: Hey Tariq. What you’re showing in the photos is actually expected after Step 1. HotLap is designed to remove as much contamination as possible before contact, not leave the vehicle completely clean without touching it, as that would require harsher chemicals and a miseducating people. Step 2 is the contact-cleaning portion of the process and is specifically designed to safely remove that remaining film. If you stopped after the foam and pressure rinse, you only completed the first half of the wash. We’d recommend giving the full process a try before judging the results.
The kit worked great I am very happy with the process and results
Nothing but the best.
Prewash was awesome. One wiper is super slick and glossy. This car looks phenomenal after every wash. 10/10 Would recommend
Best pre-wash in the detailing industry!
Just what I was looking for to keep my car looking great. Love the total kit and has cut my car detailing time to a fraction of the time!
I used both the Hot Lap and One Wiper. I absolutely love the results, I have yet not loved the results. I use it regardless of how dirty my vehicle is and it never disappoints.
Used DriveLab for the FIRST time today on my PPF’d Raptor R - absolutely love it - started with HotLap 10:1 followed by OneWiper (half in the sun) and it not only came out great, but I was done in under 30 mins!!!! Couldn’t believe it!
So easy to quickly clean my vehicle and it looks better then ever. I will be trying the interior solution next. Love the product so far.
Great products and informative “how to” videos!
This product keeps my shine sooo nice and protects a bunch. Thank you Drive Lab
Store owner replied: Thanks for the enormous amount of support Angie! You have a beautiful fleet! We sent you a special email, let us know if you received it.
Incredible product. No more mitts, no more buckets.
I really like the 3 products. So far it has been a very easy process. Here in FL it does take a little scrubbing on some car wash days because of the bugs we have on a constant basis. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with these products. Do you guys give a military discount when I need to reorder?
I was looking for something to maintain the new paint job on my S2000 without getting lost in all the products other big companies offer. I finally washed my car with drivelab for the first time today and i am beyond impressed. It took me 35 minutes on my first ever go (using the wheel kit as well), and my paint is silky smooth. It also corrected some swirling from the buffer the painter used. It was so easy to use and the results are undeniable. Couldn’t be happier.
Unbelievably beautiful
Completed my first wash and very happy with the result. All the products and tools are high quality and make the washing process quicker and easier. Found the new glass towels work very well also.
I’ve been in the automotive industry for my entire professional career and have always taken great personal pride in the proper care of all my cars, trucks, motorcycles and RV. Finally a batch of thoughtful car detailing products that have mostly exceeded expectation (IE marketing jargon and questionable results via the internet). Keep it clean! Jim S
This is the best product I’ve ever used!!!!
Great product. We live in AZ and most people use automatic car washes, but I hate the swirl marks they leave. I also don’t have a ton of time to wash both of my rides and my wife’s car, so finding a solution that performs great in the AZ heat, cuts down on time, and is super easy to use is crucial. Drivelab delivers on their promises and I don’t even have swirl marks. The other huge benefit, it’s pretty good at degreasing. I had my Jeep in the shop for a hydro steering upgrade and it’s naturally a dirty job, power steering fluid on the frame and undercarriage sucks. Most just let it off gas and deal with it. I used the foam cannon attachment, let it sit for about 5min and it’l surprisingly did a great job at reducing the power steering fluid. Overall really impressed and will continue to use and purchase Drivelab products.
I mean it’s fine still need to bucket and mitt to get dirt off after only a week without a wash, looks like I’m still on the hunt for something that can remove hard water spots from my ceramic coating
Store owner replied: Thanks for giving it a try, Brian. Just to clarify, you definitely don't need to bucket and mitt after the pre-wash. The towel process is the contact-wash step and should handle what remains, especially after a week on a coated car. That said, if you prefer a mitt, there's nothing wrong with using one. On the water spots, OneWiper can dissolve and remove the mineral deposits that cause water spots, but if the minerals have already etched or imprinted the surface underneath, no chemical cleaner can simply remove that damage. It has to be corrected or polished.

The wash kit, especially the foam cannon, has worked very well. The foam is thick when I want it to be and is easily adjusted. Hotlap is great at loosening the dirt and one wiper leaves a very good shine.
I think the product works very well and I am looking to purchase the soap as well. I like the cleaning properties of the OneWiper I don’t know of any other product like it, except CarPro Elixir. The product smells good too!
Used steps 1-3 with the foam cannon and the results were amazing! So much faster.
I thought the products were great one of the best ones I’ve used
The DriveLab wash kit is genuinely excellent. I’ve purchased car care kits from other companies in the past, and I always felt like I had to mix and match or combine multiple products just to get a good finish. DriveLab completely simplifies the process into three easy steps—no guesswork required. The products themselves are super high quality, and the final results were top-tier. Highly recommend if you want an effortless, professional-looking shine!
Better than expected.
The product was great! This Porsche hadn't been cleaning in 7 months Took me about an 1:30hr to clean it. Mostly because I was learning my new power washer set up
Good stuff.
Solid product all the way around. The quality of the foam cannon to towels are absolutely amazing. Excited to see how it does on our other vehicles. Time saved and an amazing shine after. Recommending to all of my friends and will be buying more products in the future!
I show my car and having a great quality product that allows me to decrease the amount of time it takes me to wash and dry helps me to be able to spend more time on interior detailing. The wash is great. I truly love the product.

Great products and service
I love the simplicity of the system. The foam cannon is the 4th foam cannon I've bought over the years, but I can honestly say it is the best built one I've bought and the adjustments actually work! The tire dressing is great as well. It's super easy to apply and lasts a long time. My only hang-up was my own fault. I went too heavy on the One-wiper. This ended up using way too much product on my first wash and leaving some visible smears. Again, that's a technique issue, not a product issue. I'm certain that once I get my usage dialed, I'm gonna actually love washing my car! PS - the tire pics are from 2 weeks after being treated! They still look amazing!
Never washed a car before. On my second try I was able to detail the outside of my SUV in about 50 minutes and it looks spotless. Tutorials are very straightforward and the instructions are clear. Overall a great purchase if you want to take care of your car and don’t want to do all the research!
I'm new to washing my own with this kind of care. As mentioned, it took me a couple of tries to get efficient at it, but it's working great. Love it.
I was a little unsure of the product at first but decided to go all in and give it a try. I literally cut the time in half with amazing results! Less products and less time is what I was wanting. Will definitely keep buying these products.
