INAPA 2025 Review: Clay-Based Car Wash Tools and Market Trends

At this year’s INAPA, Brilliatechstood out with a powerful showcase of car-wash consumables—particularly clay-based cleaning tools and Tornador-style cleaning guns. As one of the leading manufacturers in this segment since 2006, Brilliatech used this event to highlight its continued innovations and growing OEM/ODM capacity.

Product Highlights at INAPA 2025

Clay Bars

Brilliatech featured its classic fine, medium, and heavy-grade clay bars along with newer entries in the King Grade series (e.g., BT-2019K). Demos illustrated how their clay bars efficiently remove brake dust, industrial fallout, and other surface contaminants before polishing or waxing.

Clay Mitts, Towels, Pads, and Blocks

Clay microfiber mitts and towels—infused with special polymer clay layers—are gaining popularity for quick, safe detailing. Brilliatech displayed ergonomic and reusable sponge-backed designs that reduce swirl marks and improve user experience. Clay blocks and pads were also showcased for professional use cases.

Tornador Cleaning Tools

The BT-7007SA and 7007SB Tornador-style air cleaning guns drew significant attention. These pneumatic tools are designed to clean hard-to-reach interior and exterior surfaces, making them a favorite among mobile detailers and auto shops.

Industry Context and Market Data

The global car wash market is valued at over USD 33 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach nearly USD 50 billion by 2030, growing at 5–6% annually. Clay-based detailing consumables represent a key growth segment, especially as self-detailing and touchless washing systems gain traction.

Professional workshops and mobile detailing services are increasing their use of clay accessories and Tornador-style guns, particularly in emerging markets where customer awareness and aesthetic preferences are rising.

Regional Insights: Asia-Pacific & Southeast Asia

INAPA remains a critical hub for entry into Southeast Asian markets. Brilliatech’s product range resonated with buyers from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. These countries are witnessing fast growth in vehicle ownership, e-commerce auto supplies, and mobile detailing services.

Eco-conscious regulations and water-saving demands are pushing the rise of dry-detailing and touchless systems—highlighting the importance of efficient clay and air-cleaning tools.

Future Outlook and Trends

Increased Demand for Eco-Friendly Clay Tools

Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious. Brilliatech’s recyclable packaging, low-VOC lubricants, and reusable clay formats are expected to perform strongly in this space.

Growth in Mobile Detailing & Professional Car Care

The Tornador and clay bar combo kits will become essential for professional users looking for efficiency, quality, and branding flexibility. Brilliatech’s customizable product lines make it well-positioned to dominate this trend.

Customization and OEM Growth

Local distributors are increasingly looking for private label options with full customization. Brilliatech’s certified factory and 18+ years of R&D allow for deep OEM collaboration across clay bars, mitts, and Tornador sets.

Conclusion

Brilliatech’s appearance at INAPA 2025 reaffirmed its leadership in car-wash consumables, particularly clay-based tools and air cleaning guns. With growing regional demand, stricter environmental policies, and increasing consumer attention to car care, the future looks promising for professional, eco-friendly, and customizable detailing solutions.
