Add-On Products That Boost Detailing Profits

Add-On Products That Boost Detailing Profits

Running a detailing business means working with tight margins and limited time per vehicle. One of the best ways to increase revenue without adding labor is by offering high-margin, add-on products your customers can purchase during or after a service.

At Import Crate Wholesale, we work with detailers across the U.S. and also sell these products ourselves at mall kiosks and car shows. Here are our top-selling add-ons that consistently increase ticket size and encourage repeat visits.

1. Treefrog Fresh Box – Under-Seat Gel Air Freshener

Long-lasting, oil-based gel that fits discreetly under the seat and delivers fragrance for up to 60 days. Available in best-selling scents like Black Squash and Marine Squash, this product is a favorite for detailers because it complements a clean interior perfectly.

How to sell it: Include in mid-tier or premium detailing packages as a “fresh finish” bonus or offer it as an easy add-on at checkout.

2. Treefrog Top Fresh Spray

Oil-based car air freshener in spray form. Customers love the control it offers—perfect for those who want to refresh their car more frequently or prefer a stronger scent upfront. Popular among younger car enthusiasts and DIY customers.

How to sell it: Place near product displays or offer as part of a “detail and refresh” combo.

3. My Shaldan Citrus Gel

A dashboard-style citrus gel air freshener with strong brand recognition. Natural scent, compact design, and clean appearance make it ideal for a wide customer base. Great for detailers who want a visible, branded option that doesn’t overwhelm the interior.

How to sell it: Upsell during check-in or offer in a scent selection menu.

4. Treefrog Fresh Box Anime Edition

A niche hit with car enthusiasts, this limited packaging combines top-selling Treefrog scents with anime-themed designs. Adds personality to your detailing shop and resonates with fans of Japanese car culture.

How to sell it: Display near your register with other collectibles or accessories. Mention it as a fun option during checkout.
