      OG is the sole importer for the US now. He will have Touch-Less, Traceless, Atom Mac and the clay bars in the OG store. The full line will be available through Bilt Hamber's website, but will be fulfilled by OG. They are also going to work with other distributors that want it once stock gets built up.
      Price is $43 from OG, but actual shipping cost gets passed along (unless you're a Hex Plus member) so it ends up being essentially the same as Carzilla with "free" shipping, depending on where you live.

    It’s worth noting that because BH is made in the UK it’s A LOT cheaper here and therefore is good value for money, hence its popularity. It’s also sugar-based (unlike an APC) which means it’s much kinder to the environment and is safe to be rinsed away with causing problems to waterways and surrounding ecosystems 😊

    I've boosted my soaps with Greenstar in the past and have also used Forst and they both have performed well getting rid of contaminates. The only true tests I have done thus far are SNO and Frostbite foamed on the surface, rinse and then followed up with a rinseless wash and both of those times I had extremely minimal dirt on my towels. I prefer these soaps over an APC because of ease of use with one product for simplicity versus multiple products and dilution ratios. Plus they're ready to go for the next quick wash as well!

    Quick google search of Bilt Hamber is pH 12, most Apc's are pH 10-12. So they are both caustic (i.e. Base). Dark fury which I like is pH 11, dirt cheap for gallon, and dilutable (1-4, 1-10). Only thing I haven't seen for comparison is how they effect car coatings. That is something I would love to see.

    Great vid. FWIW, when my kids come home from college, their cars are usually hammered and smothered with bugs. I've found that Touch-Less worked great on removing the bugs. I'm not sure where I heard it, but somebody on one of their CZcams videos mentioned that the glucose based surfactants (like those in Touch-Less) work especially well on organic matter. I've tried a few other APCs and Citrus Cleaners, but none worked as well as Touch-Less on the bugs. I haven't compared it to a dedicated bug remover, so can't offer any comparison. I used to go old school and spray the bugs with a higher PH soap, then cover with plastic wrap and "marinate" for about 30 minutes to keep it from drying out and allow it to break down the bugs (... plus we live in N. Texas and it gets freaking hot). Now if you asked me, do I NEED Touch-Less the answer is probably not. I do like it and it is part of my detailing chemical arsenal. I've also found the price to be pretty comparable with APCs when you buy it by the gallon/5L.

    I don’t have a use for a touch less wash personally. I rather do an apc rinse and rinseless wash. I think the Stars and Stripes is unique in that it’s like a 3ph wash where you hit it with an acidic one and then an alkaline one, with the idea being that the ph shock can help break loose more stuff.

    Did you test the new BH Touch-less on the wheels/tire like you did with the APC from ADS? That would have been a good to know how it would work on wheels/tires.
    They seem to all perform the same but does the fact that the vehicle was ceramic coated? Try on a non coated vehicle.
    How does it any of these compare to Stars and Stripes? A video comparo on the BH, the ADD APC, Dark Fury, DIY Detail AllClean etc and the Stars and Stripes would be great to put it all out there.

    Eddie, I think you inadvertently just did a video to show the benefit of a high quality coating. I use Touchless v1 on my cars. On one that's coated with Feynlab ceramic v3 I can almost get the panel completely clean with just a run of the mill soap presoak. On the other car with just a spray sealant that gets driven very little I can't do the same and this is where Touchless comes in.
    Last thing I will say is with a product like Touchless you're actually paying for what's not in it. No caustic soda, NTA, or phosphates. It also contains corrosion inhibitors. I use mine in an ik Foam Pro 12 as you use way less product and don't have to worry about PIR. The APC pre rinse is definitely a proven method and works well.

      The PIR calc is super easy. Just fill your foam cannon bottle with water and spray it into a bucket until the foam cannon bottle is empty. Measure the amount dispensed. Then multiply by 0.005 (for .5% PIR), 0.01 (for 1%) or 0.02 (for 2%).
      Or just skip all that and apply it with a trigger sprayer or pump sprayer)foamer. It is just as effective when applying with a trigger sprayer. 20 mL in a 1000mL bottle will give you a 2% solution.

    I prefer to use my normal foam cannon mix of Incredible suds and just add in some all clean if needed and the amount I use is based on how dirty. You could also just spray the APC on the dirty area and then normal foam on top. These touch-less are far too expensive to me and the amount of product needed good lord. If your car is coated it’s going to clean easily anyways unless you have been letting it get clogged up and need a decon wash.

      ​@@Ecdetailshe wouldn't, you showed that Touch-Less works as advertised.
      He gets a bad rap, but Matt's actually a cool dude. I've been following him since 2017 and he's 100% authentic and calls it like he sees it. I get that he's abrasive sometimes and that rubs people the wrong way, but more often than not he's right when it comes to a lot of things in life (outside of detailing).
      I follow very little of what he does detailing-wise, and he annoys me oftentimes with how he stubbornly clings to Gtechniq coatings, his resistance to better products/methods and the fact that he refuses to understand that you can use a pressure washer and still do a rinseless wash. His polishing style also mystifies me when he's got the machine cranked up to 11 with a microfiber pad and a ton of pressure, but I digress. Matt does his thing and he's happy with it.
      I'm an adult, and I don't really get offended by anything or anyone. I don't need Matt Moreman to validate my product preferences or methods, and I don't care if he calls me an idiot for putting Barrina lights up in my garage. I know I'm an idiot for doing that because they suck balls. I want the CREE LEDs that he sells, but I just need to budget and save up for them. Hopefully I can keep the Barrinas going and not falling onto my cars until then.
      No one "needs" anything that OG sells, but I'm glad they exist because it is the ultimate resource for awesome stuff. If you want something cheap, buy it from Amazon, Alibaba or Temu. Cheap is everywhere and is easy to find. But if you want something that is high quality and you've reached a point in your life where you can afford it, or can at least budget and save for it, OG is the place to find some amazing stuff for your garage and house.
      I'm never going to have a true OG setup, but I can buy the elements of it that I value and that are going to make my life easier in the garage. Matt and his team have made that possible and they make interesting/entertaining content. Yeah they charge for shipping, but so does DIY Detail. Shipping isn't free and shipping companies don't give very good prices to smaller companies like OG.
