Shining Monkey is a Canadian manufacturer of detailing products. The company only offers products they consider to be the best in their category, or they just won’t sell it. No bullshit, just great products.

Shining Monkey history
Shining Monkey was probably created around 2009 or 2010, this is the date that their website came online.
The brand was created with the desire to create the best products out there. They don’t settle for a product that is as good as another one, they need to be the best or they won’t publish the product. Shining Monkey doesn’t promise to make your car look like new after 30 years of neglect. They try to stay honest, and pure about their products and their performance.
They consider their logo like a seal of approval, letting customers know that this product has earned their Seal of Quality.
Shining Monkey products
The range that is being sold by Shining Monkey varies from shampoo, merchandise, glaze and polish. They also (at the time of writing) have a special Ken Block matte paint/vinyl wrap detailer and sprayable tire dressing available.
