TECHNICIANS CHOICE: PROFESSIONAL GRADE DETAILING SINCE 1969

Technicians Choice is a product line from ECP Incorporated, a company that has been supplying professional detailers and automotive dealers with chemistry-driven car care since 1969. Built for shop use from the ground up, the lineup covers every major stage of the detail process, from pre-wash bug and brake dust removal all the way through ceramic and graphene coating protection. Over 14,000 dealers trust the brand, and the products on the shelf at The House of Rags reflect the range that makes Technicians Choice a go-to for professionals who need reliable, repeatable results.

The protection side of the lineup is where Technicians Choice has made its biggest moves in recent years. The TEC580 Ceramic Coating and TEC585 Graphene Coating give detailers professional-grade long-term protection, while the TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray and TEC584 Graphene Detail Spray handle quick maintenance and coating top-ups between full applications. The graphene products in particular deliver exceptional surface slickness and water beading that holds up well over multiple washes.

The cleaning and maintenance products round out everything in between. Blue Sapphire and Blue Velvet handle wash duties on different budgets and foam levels, Bug a Boo and Brake-R tackle the heavy contamination before the wash even starts, and the interior lineup covers everything from enzyme-based stain removal with the TEC392 to foaming carpet cleaners, a heavy duty APC in Deep Purple, and the TEC800 Liquid Laundry Detergent built specifically for keeping microfiber towels performing at their best.

TECHNICIANS CHOICE FAQs

What is the difference between the TEC580 Ceramic Coating and the TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray?

These two products serve different stages of protection and are not interchangeable. The TEC580 Ceramic Coating is a dedicated coating product designed to bond to the paint surface and provide long-term hydrophobic protection that lasts through multiple washes. It requires proper surface prep, a clean and decontaminated finish, and careful application. The TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray is a maintenance product meant for already-protected or clean paint, giving you a quick SiO2-infused boost of gloss and water repellency in a spray-and-wipe format. Use the coating for the base layer of protection and the detail spray to maintain and refresh it between full details.

Should I choose the TEC582 Ceramic Detail Spray or the TEC584 Graphene Detail Spray?

Both are quick detailers that add protection and gloss in a single wipe, but the TEC584 Graphene Detail Spray steps up the performance with a ceramic and graphene-infused formula that delivers higher surface slickness and stronger water beading than the ceramic-only TEC582. If you are maintaining a graphene coating or want the most advanced protection available in a detail spray format, go with the 584. If you are looking for a reliable ceramic maintenance spray at a lower price point, the 582 does the job well.

What is the TEC800 Liquid Laundry Detergent for, and can I use regular detergent instead?

The TEC800 is formulated specifically for washing microfiber towels, applicator pads, and detailing cloths. Regular household detergents often contain fabric softeners and fillers that clog microfiber fibers over time, reducing their ability to absorb and trap dirt safely. Using the wrong detergent on microfibers can turn a premium towel into a scratch risk. The TEC800 strips the product buildup, oils, and contamination out of your microfibers without leaving behind residue that compromises their performance. If you are spending money on quality towels, it is worth washing them properly.

When should I use Bug a Boo versus Brake-R, and do I need both?

Yes, they target different types of contamination and work best as a two-product pre-wash routine. Bug a Boo is formulated to dissolve and lift insect remains from the front end of the vehicle, including bumpers, hoods, mirrors, and windshields, where bug acids can etch paint if left too long. Brake-R is a dedicated wheel and brake dust cleaner that breaks down iron contamination and the baked-on brake fallout that regular soap cannot remove. Use Bug a Boo on the body panels first, then hit the wheels with Brake-R before your main wash. Both products do their best work with a short dwell time before rinsing.
