There aren’t many places in modern day society where you can buy just about anything you’d ever need in one single spot, but Amazon.com is one of those places. Although most of us go to the site with a specific purchase in mind, if you’ve ever taken the time to browse around all of the Amazon product categories, you’ve probably noticed that there are an astonishing amount of them. In fact, the Automotive category alone has 12 sub-categories underneath it. It can be difficult to parse if you’re just looking for a fun, new, popular accessory. That’s why we’ve decided to wrangle all of the number 1 best-selling products in each Automotive sub-category for you right here. As a bonus, all of them but one are currently on sale!
Car Care
Key Features
- Easy to use
- Can be pushed into hard-to-reach cracks to grab dust
- Good for multiple (but not infinite) uses
- Also great for cleaning keyboards
Car cleaning gel is one of the weirdest looking car cleaning tools out there, but it’s also one of the easiest ways to grab the dirt and crumbs from the hardest-to-reach spots of your vehicle. Just take a handful of the Flubber-like substance, stick it on anything that looks like it could use a little less dust and dirt, then peel it off and watch the grime come with it. This putty is made for getting into small areas and corners that you might not be able to reach with more traditional tools. In addition to being a dust-grabbing powerhouse, it also has a clean “cologne” scent.
Exterior Accessories
Key Features
- Silicone construction
- Rust-proof, rattle-proof, weather-proof
- 3 drainage holes for water release
After buying a car, many of us get home and immediately take off the license plate frames that had the dealership name on them. After all, you likely just paid them tens of thousands of dollars and they still want free advertising? No thanks. These silicone frames are a great replacement and won’t scratch your car like the metal ones, are rust-proof and fit all American and Canadian plates.

The interior is 100% leak proof and when it isn’t in use, the trash can can be easily collapsed and stored, though once you install it, we’re willing to bet it’ll be in use at all times.
