About Foose Detail
Foose Design · Huntington Beach
Foose Detail is Chip Foose's line of car care, built around a simple idea: a great car deserves a proper finish.
The Premier Kit brings eight formulas together in one box, packed the way Chip packs his own truck. Wash, wheels, trim, protection, glass, interior and hands, all covered.
Where it started
Chip was seven when he started working in his father Sam’s shop, Project Design, in Santa Barbara, doing body and paint work. Sam built studio cars for Hollywood, and Chip learned to draw sitting next to him. The standard he learned there is the one behind every bottle.
