Top 5 car products under $50 that won’t break the bank so you can maintain your beast! $50, in our opinion, strikes the right balance between cost and real value.
1. Shine Graphene Ceramic Coating
Why it’s great:
This actually works. Shine Graphene Ceramic Coating protects your car with a slick, glossy finish that repels water, resists dirt, and guards against scratches and UV damage. Save $$$ and time not having to wash your cash every 5 mins.
2. 3M Quick and Easy Headlight Restoration Kit
Why it’s great:
Amazon says it all – “Save hundreds vs. replacing headlight lenses”. It really does transform the yellowest headlights into clear (“showroom”) ones. Some other kits are super expensive so it’s nice to see this one come under $50 and actually do a brilliant job. Also, no need for power tools!
3. Leather Car Steering Wheel Cover
Why it’s great:
We’ve tried so many different steering wheel covers and we haven’t liked the look, feel or longevity of any of them, until now. This one looks so good, feels great and even after using it now for a few months, it still looks new (also super easy to clean). It is a tad more expensive than others but you get what you pay for here. Still, it’s under $50!
4. Expandable Car Cup Holder with Adjustable Base
Why it’s great:
This is an absolute must-have. I’ve lost count of all the people that now carry a large drink bottle with them everywhere. Traditional cup holders will never fit these behemoths but now, using your existing cup holder, it can! Gone of the days where you simply rest it on your spare seat (where it bangs around everywhere) or in the footwell where it collects dirt and dust. Currently under $20 – bargin!
5. 360° Rotatable Car Phone Mount
Why it’s great:
We tried quite a few phone mounts now (check out our “Phone Mounts” page) and there are so many options (and so many bad ones). We think the OG types are the best (i.e. windshield ones) as they offer the best hold and don’t clutter your car’s console. Temu does get a bad rap at times but this phone mount is a absolute gem especially when priced around $10AUD.
