SEMA 2025: Mothers Makes Car Care Easy

SEMA 2025: Mothers Makes Car Care Easy

In addition to being the title sponsor for Battle of the Builders, Mothers is celebrating 50 years of SEMA participation. And that’s not even considering the brand’s status as a household name across virtually every corner of our hobby. What better way to commemorate those accomplishments than by debuting a slew of new products that reinforce Mothers’ commitment to car culture and the automotive aftermarket? We stopped by the Mothers booth to get the scoop on three new products and check out last year’s Battle of the Builders winner: an exceptional 1968 Dodge Charger.

Mothers California Gold Ceramic Spray And Rinse

We all want a vehicle that looks good, and the less effort the better. Ceramic technology offers that convenience, but it’s often cumbersome to apply and difficult to remove. Mothers California Gold Ceramic Spray and Rinse is a water-activated spray-on ceramic coating that boosts both ceramic protection and gloss. Just spray the product on, rinse it off with a hose, and watch the water bead. The best part is, in addition to instant grime repellency, Mothers California Gold Ceramic Spray and Rinse won’t streak paint, glass, trim, or wheels.

Mothers California Gold HydroClay

Clay bars are great for removing contaminants and prepping for polish, but they’re also somewhat cumbersome, a little tedious, and can sometimes damage paint. In fact, clay bars could sort of be considered a bit of a curse and a gift — that is, until now. Mother’s California Gold HydroClay incorporates a new sponge-clay design that, in addition to being easier to handle, keeps the surface of your ride wetter for longer. A wetter surface increases lubricity, boosts glide, and helps you do a better job of cleaning and protecting your paint. In fact, this next-gen contaminant removal process is so quick and easy that it’s as simple as washing or spray waxing. 

Mothers Exhaust Tip Cleaner And Polish

All of us love power and loud pipes, but the heat and combustion process creating those smiles almost always takes a toll on the appearance of exhaust components. Mothers Exhaust Tip Cleaner and Polish is an all-in-one cleaner, polish, and protectant that’s perfect for restoring shine to your pipes. Strong enough for neglected tips, yet gentle enough for everyday cleaning, this polish is safe for use on chrome, stainless, and even black chrome. In addition to restoring shine and eliminating heat discoloration, Mothers Exhaust Tip Cleaner and Polish leaves a barrier that resists tarnish and soot buildup.

The building pictured behind this Charger is Dodge Main in Hamtramck, Michigan. This Charger rolled off the Dodge Main assembly line in 1968.

1968 Dodge Charger By Classic Car Studio

Assembled by St. Louis, Missouri’s Classic Car Studio, this killer Charger rides a stretched Roadster Shop chassis that’s propelled by 440 cubic inches of MoPar big-block. Stunning BASF Glasurit paint traces subtly altered sheetmetal above satin Billet Specialties wheels and 6-piston Baer calipers. Holley Terminator X fuel injection works with a 4L80E 4-speed and Borla stacked injection to make every cruise a smooth cruise. Inside, a custom Relicate leather interior features Vintage Air conditioning, Dakota Digital telemetry, and a full Kenwood audio system.  

Fifty years at SEMA is no small feat, and Mothers proves they’re not just riding on reputation–they’re still raising the bar. With innovations like California Gold Ceramic Spray and Rinse, Mothers California Gold HydroClay, and Mothers Exhaust Tip Cleaner and Polish, the brand continues to blend ease of use with professional-grade results.
