What's new and trending for 2026 at Soft99: everything you need to know

Just in time for Christmas, we are introducing 4 new Soft99 products focused on effectiveness, protection, and Japanese vibe! 

Although the weather typical of the end of the year rarely encourages car care adventures, we’d like to raise the stakes just before the new year begins and show you the products that will be setting the tone of our offer in 2026. Ready for our four new releases?

Super Black Plastic & Rubber Restoration Agent

Super Black is an advanced coating designed to refresh and provide long-lasting protection for plastic and rubber elements in your car. The product effectively restores colour depth to faded trims or seals, while protecting surfaces from further degradation.

The siloxane-based coating lasts up to 12 months on plastics and up to 6 months on rubber. It bonds to the surface through a reaction with moisture in the air, resulting in high resistance to chemicals, weather conditions, and everyday use.

One Super Black is enough to protect even a large SUV with numerous exterior elements. The box includes three applicators, two soft woven cloths, and a protective plastic glove. Especially worth noting is the unique black 3WAY applicator sponge, which can be split by hand into smaller pieces, making application on fine details a breeze.

Megami Headlight Refresh

Cloudy or yellowed headlights can ruin the look of any car. They are also a safety hazard. Megami Headlight Refresh is a simple and effective way to bring back factory freshness to your headlights without complicated procedures. The box comes with everything needed to carry out the entire process – from cleaning to protecting the headlights – along with all necessary accessories.

The product is based on a two-step formula combining abrasive and chemical components. This allows for the removal of matte haze and yellow discolouration from headlight surfaces. The final step is the application of a protective coating that reacts with moisture in the air and forms a hard, glass-like layer. It provides hydrophobic properties and protection against renewed hazing and discolouration for approximately 6 months, as confirmed by our internal tests.

Alaunen Wash Bag

Alaunen Wash Bag is a unique, double-sided sponge for hand washing cars, designed for maximum effectiveness and working comfort. The pillow-like sponge is filled with many small sponge cubes, allowing it to absorb water and shampoo exceptionally well and generate a lot of thick foam.

The flexible construction ensures the Wash Bag fits comfortably in your hand and easily adapts to the washed surface. Its double-sided design allows you to adjust the washing method to your needs: the soft blue side with polyester fibres is ideal for gentle paint care, while the black mesh polyester surface helps remove tougher dirt such as dried insect residue.

Soft99 Bucket

The Soft99 Bucket is our first detailing bucket! Together with the German automotive enthusiast group Race City and their tuned Nissan GT-R R35, we created a unique, unmistakably Japanese design on the side of the bucket. It draws inspiration from “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” by Katsushika Hokusai, one of the most renowned woodblock artists in Japanese history. We hope the design will appeal to fans of Japanese Soft99 car care products!

We equipped our bucket with accessories that make washing easier. Inside, you’ll find the original Grit Guard dirt separator, ensuring you always load your sponge with clean water free from grit. In addition, the sturdy, tight-fitting lid allows the bucket to double as a practical container.

The bucket is also part of new, unique sets:

Bucket Set

For the Bucket Set we filled our bucket with products from the QJUTSU line: Creamy Shampoo car shampoo, Clay Bar detailing clay bar, and the fan-favourite Ultrasoft sponge. We’ve also added the Fusso Coat Speed & Barrier quick detailer, all housed in our new bucket, which serves as a handy storage container.

Mystery Bucket

Just like the Bucket Set, purchasing the Mystery Bucket gets you a set of Soft99 products. Which products, you ask? That we won’t tell you. The Mystery Bucket follows the Mystery Box formula that has been part of our offer for several years. What’s the fun all about?

Inside the bucket, you’ll find several carefully selected, authentic Soft99 products. These include not only items known from store shelves, but also unique products unavailable for regular sale. It’s a true detailing treat – and on top of the products, you also get the bucket. Sounds like the perfect Christmas gift? It certainly does to us!

You have to admit, we’ve prepared quite a line-up of products to close out the year, right? These are not only excellent Christmas gift ideas, but also a full-fledged expansion of Soft99’s broad product range in Europe – just in time for the start of 2026.
