The Story of Bud’s Sudz
Bud’s Sudz started with a simple frustration: every bottle of car care on the shelf felt the same. Mass-produced. Rushed to market, designed to maximize profit, period. As car enthusiasts ourselves, we knew our rides deserved better; and so did the people who pour their weekends, late nights, and hard-earned money into their cars. So, we set out to do things differently…
Instead of launching a hundred products turned out fast and cheap, we focus on crafting a handful of high-performance, eco-friendly formulas that do their job better than anything else out there. Every product is designed in the lab first then tested, refined, and perfected with the customer in mind.
We want to make products for the guy (or gal) wrenching on a car in their garage, the weekend track driver, or the detailer who finds peace in making paint glow again. The car hobby is an escape, a way to relax and feel good. Bud’s Sudz exists to make that experience better, even in small ways.
From the very first batch, we’ve built our formulas with three promises in mind:
Performance Above All – Every Bud’s Sudz product has to work harder, shine brighter, and last longer than the mass-market alternatives. Our focus is on quality, no shortcuts!
Respect for the Planet – Our products are as environmentally friendly and biodegradable as possible, often achieving 100% biodegradability. The car hobby and the environment can coexist, we prove it with every bottle.
Giving Back – We donate 25% of our profits to charities that support children, strengthen communities, and help grow the car enthusiast hobby for the next generation
Connecticut Proud
Bud’s Sudz is proudly homegrown in Connecticut, built in the shadow of giants—an industry dominated by multinational corporations. But we believe that small, independent, and authentic brands are what really drive culture forward.

About Bud…
Bud is a lifelong car enthusiast, scientist, and weekend garage dweller who owns more project cars than any sane person should. He sees cars and car culture as a way to connect people together and maybe make the world a better place too!
After years working in chemistry and product development, Bud grew frustrated with products designed for profit, not passion. He knew the car hobby deserved better. That’s why he started Bud’s Sudz: to craft high-performance, eco-friendly products that enthusiasts can truly trust; formulas born in the garage, not a boardroom. Tested on Bud’s own cars, every product delivers pro-level results without harming the planet.
From his home base in Connecticut, Bud is building more than a brand, it’s a passion project that gives back, donating 25% of profits to charities that support kids, communities, and car culture for the next generation.
