The Mothers Story
Built on Passion Since 1974
Founded out of a tyre shop in Southern California in the 1970s, Mothers originated with a mag, and aluminium polish designed to make old wheels sparkle like new. What began as a simple polishing product quickly gained a loyal following among car enthusiasts and laid the foundation for one of the world's leading car care brands.
Looking to the Future
Building on a legacy of innovation, Mothers continues to develop advanced car care solutions designed to deliver professional results for enthusiasts and detailers alike. Now with over 100 products, and leading the charge with its DIY ceramic range, Mothers remains at the cutting edge of modern vehicle care.
