Brilliant video. Keep up the good work 😀
Thank you 👍
I really enjoyed that one. Nice and simple video but lots of great info on there. Loved the Halloween theme and it was good to see a van too. Interesting process on the Snow Foam, I have a friend that does it neat like that but he's actually worked out 2 and 4% on the dial. Very easy process.
Thanks Andy, something different eh 👻
What’s the process finding the PIR? 🤔
Great video ,Surfex is a great product in my opinion the best APC out there ,loved the neat Autofoam in the lance idea so I must try it with Touchless ,as always you give us food for thought ,keep em coming 👏👏👏
Thanks Jim!, maybe start with the dilution dial all the way to the + for touchless with it being a higher foaming product , and work towards the - you’ll save so much time diluting things down 😎
Great video Graeme, surfex is such a good all rounder and I'm sure in these tough times we're going through more people will turn to it because of how cheap it is. Fantastic results at the end.
Keep up the good work sir 👍🏻
Thanks Paul, yes I agree it’s so capable , it’s a pity it’s not a great shampoo other wise you could use it for absolutely everything 🤣
Enjoyed the video mate. Good work 👌 glad you said you get apple with jelly bean scents - I always get apple too, especially with Garage Therapy!
Oohhh now I’m gonna have to go smell the GT shampoo, I know the decon is lavender but the shampoo I’m not sure 🍏
Glad you enjoyed the video , bit of fun with something different to clean on the channel 👻
You made light work of that with the mostly lance based process.
I think your on to something with Surfex and can see it making a comeback to popularity in tough economic times as it’s dirt cheap and good for so many jobs.
Good idea using the foam neat and dialling in the thickness only reason I wouldn’t do it was if I was maintaining a certain wax or coating I wouldn’t want to accidentally use too strong and possibly shorten it’s life.
I doubt you’d even get close if you start with the dial turned around half way back , remember this is the way lances are supposed to be used anyway 🤣
Most welcome buddy! Share the wealth and all that!
it really is a bloody wonder product!
Even up to 100-1 on interiors too 😎
I reckon it’s got 80% of car cleaning sorted without even opening anything else!
@@GMDetails when I first discovered this, I was like damn! Somebody just made a bloody cheat code for detailing!
As you say, it makes most of your shelf of detailing products completely redundant!
Since I first started using it, I haven't used a tyre cleaner, an interior cleaner, an upholstery cleaner, an engine degreaser, a citrus pre-wash, a carpet cleaner and probably more things I've forgotten about too!
Literally saved hundreds, if not thousands of pounds.
This stuff should be up there with bloody McDonalds, Apple, Coke and the like. Baffles me that it isn't!
@@AntEloftheHouseofEl I completely agree, I've got citrus and AG rebound, fabric cleaners and other things that I use once in a while, simply because of the versatility of surfex. I bought 1 litre about 6 months ago, still have 500ml left aswell as a full litre of 1:10 and a full litre of 1:100.
Surfex is a monster of a product! Great video 👍🏻
Using the adjustment dial to mix neat product is a really interesting style of using the lance - I was thinking about the other week because it doesn’t really make sense to dilute the product twice, so if you know your PIR at various dial positions then you could always use neat product and just adjust the dial accordingly.
For enthusiasts it’s surely easier cos you can just put the unused product back in the bottle. I would think it would be easier for pro’s as well cos once you’ve filled the bottle you can just alter the dilution as the job demands!
Thanks mate, a change from the norm and a bit of fun at the same time
Snow foam lances always intrigued me as to why the top dial had such a huge adjustment so without the hassle of working out 4% pir I thought I’d just try it neat and use the dial.
I enjoyed that. I've just cleaned my dad's new to him silver van. It looked clean at first sight. I then looked closely and it was very dirty, like you say these colours hide dirt very well. I've used surfex HD, it looks very powerful, I just use g101. That shifted all the algae, dirt etc etc. I just use auto foam 50/50, I'm not to bothered on the exact dilution ratio.
50/50 is probably about right anyway mate, G101 & surfex now there’s a test of 2 products waiting to be done eh? 🤣
lovely
Thanks mate 👍
Nice job, these gun metal colours are great. I use surfex 1:10 on the exterior, thinking I'm going to dilute a little out, seeing the result you got. I also use surfex at 1:100 in the interior, the car interior isn't ever really that dirty so 1:100 is perfect. Full decon and Fusso Coat for my car tomorrow. All the best Graeme.
Wow 1-100 🤯 I tried Garage Therapy interior at 1-50 and it was just like water, I’ll try the surfex at that , do you use 1-100 on leather?
@@GMDetails I don't have leather seats but I have no problems using it at that dilution on the leather steering wheel and gear stick/gator. I also spritz the upholstery, just a 1/2 light sprays, and rub with a microfibre.
Absolutely fantastic editing mate, those effects were brilliant... I thought you had a new follower until you 'kicked' the cat out of the way 🤣🤣 music was perfectly suited to the spooky theme 👌🏼
Surfex is a fantastic versatile product, and touch-on would probably be great too if It was sold in a bottle but that sachet process just doesn't appeal to me.
Great job mate 👌🏼👍🏼
Thanks Mark!, yeah you were one of the first to talk about the many benefits of Surfex as a master of all which I remember being sceptical at the time over and now realise it’s got a lot going for it but , and here’s the problem, I do like trying other things 🤣
The touch on sachet idea was a terrible one I feel, has convenience all over it but meh, it’s not difficult measuring out 30ml of a product is it 🤣
@@GMDetails it's really not!! We do it with Shampoo and everything else so why not this 🤷🏻♂️ from a brand that doesn't do gimmicks, it just seems a bit gimmicky lol
It does, and a nightmare to open too 🤣
Don’t tell Greta 🤣
@@GMDetails 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved it mate. Surfex absolutely smashing everything you can throw at it aswell. Super product! I think the snowfoam adjustment in the lance is wasted if you dillute the product down before putting it into the lance so I think you are into something here. I'm going to give this a run out this weekend and see how I get on! Great as always!
Thanks Sean!, honestly mate, put in neat Autofoam , turn the dial back a turn and a half and go from there , you’ll really be surprised how much time it saves and how little product you use 😊
@@GMDetails I did a full decon today, fine cut polish and a fusso coat, I used autofoam after the fall out remover but, because it was a long day, I bottled out of adding neat autofoam, in case I got it wrong 😀
Ach!! 🤣
I use all Bilt Hamber products on my transit custom on my partners, Nissan Navara.
Using the Touch-Less snow foam is also coated with a double speed wax. Once every four weeks are use the torch on ceramic coat and have noticed that it does build up a long period of protection, the more you use it. I’ve also experimented after using touch on Then put in the coat of double speed wax over the top and yes, it has bought a real nice shine and protection on the vehicle. Yesterday wash down again, used touch on dried off and I could almost stand in front. I’ll have a shave with the reflection paintwork is a metallic orange.
Steve
Wow I’d love to see that as Silver can he a bit bland but yours sounds awesome , if you’re on Facebook you could join the discussion group I run with a few likeminded enthusiasts facebook.com/groups/800150840181977/?ref=share_group_link
You could share your pics on there and discuss what you like using etc
Thanks for watching 👌🙏
My standard wash is BH auto wheel followed by 20% surfed hd on wheels.
BH Touch less snow foam
Car pro reset shampoo
Nice one Henry!, I’ve heard using Auto Wheel every wash is a bit harsh and can lead to corroding the brake components due to the TGA salts , I used Surfex at 19-1 dilution on the transit video and that was enough for a regular cleansing, are you sure you need AW on every wash?
@@GMDetails yeah, I tend to just mist it in the crevices of when wheels more than anything, rather than douce it over the wheels like you see in some videos, just to keep on top of the fallout
The touch on makes sense,as an upsale
100% 💪
Great video Graeme! I tried several snowfoams and ended up using BH Autofoam. Works great for me. I'm using the MJJC lance and at a 50/50 ratio.
Next APC I'll buy is going to be Surfex HD.
Yesterday I tried BH Autowheel for the first time and very happy with that product as well.
Greetz Will
Thanks mate, you’ll love Surfex!, I haven’t used Autowheel as I don’t believe in using such a strong product often, my wheels clean perfectly well with GT wheel shampoo or if they’re really bad some zero decon shampoo
Maybe once a year I’ll use a fallout remover , I’ve read that there’s a lot of people who use Autowheel often have had their wheels or braking components corrode prematurely after refurbishment , maybe something to be mindful of 🤔
@@GMDetails Thanks for the advice, it's really strong indeed. Think I'll dillute it down to a 50/50 because I keep my wheels clean at a regular basis. Have to say though that I was surprised by the reaction it delivered keeping in mind that I keep my wheels clean. Last wheelcleaner I used was Bilberry wheelcleaner from Valet Pro and that was just 2 weeks ago.
@@GMDetails I have read that many people said that Autowheels has damaged the centre hubs on their wheels too as they are mostly plastic nowadays.
Great demonstration using Bilt Hamber products (I lean something new every time from this channel!)
Personally I like to set the PIR so I know where i am with Auto Foam. Moving forward I’m thinking of applying it using a spay bottle to help reduce the amount of chemical used. Also The more I clean cars I think I’m moving into the camp of applying a citrus product to a dry car letting that dwell then commence the 1st rinse off. While the car drys off a bit clean the wheels (which has been made easier) then carry out a snow foam application. While that is dwelling carry out the brush work around badges etc. The reason I’m moving into this camp on applying a chemical before water is because wheels visually clean off better by applying a chemical first before rinsing them off with water than just a water rinse application which is why I’m carrying this thought process over to the bodywork cleaning process.
Thanks Greg!, totally understand your thinking here , Jon @Forensic Detailing done this very test and was quite interesting
I just can’t get out of the routine of having a rinse down first to remove all the loose debris, maybe I ll do some of my own research into this and see what results I get 🤔
Watch this space 📺
@@GMDetails Don’t change your normal approach, as your 1st rinse is always very methodical and perhaps it’s my approach using just water that needs to improve which makes this area of cleaning a topic of discussion. This is why I mention testing on wheels which gives a more visual impact to such discussion’s for any individual to carry out their own testing.
Another useful video Graham. I believe Surfex HD contains corrosion inhibitors and is a great product. I Have had issues with Autofoam leaving a residue, but that is in warmer weather because it dries out too quickly so i just don't use it during the summer periods. I will try out the neat method now in my MJJC , seems a very good idea. Well done 👍🏻.
Thanks Alan, so it was you I had in mind saying it left a residue 🤣
Touchless for Summer & Autofoam for winter 😜
@@GMDetails Still prefer the GT Snowfoam Graham, I will use up my BH Autofoam eventually but won’t replace it . I may try the neat method in my MTM with GT foam though . I’m not a great fan of BH Autofoam though probably for the same reasons as you don’t like BH Autowash, although I don’t doubt its cleaning abilities. I just want one good foam that I can use all year round & that’s not BH for me personally. Keep up the good work, they are excellent & informative.
Which GT foam do you have Alan?, I’m letting my car get really dirty to test out GT new v2 foam, should be interesting as I’m not really a fan of thin milky foams, I loved the v1 GT foam as well
@@GMDetails I have V1 Graham, and I really like it in my MTM PF22. Never needed to go above 50ml - 450 ml water which gives a lovely creamy consistency & decent dwell time & excellent cleaning power. As I have said before, I don’t like watery foams & ambient temperature & even car colours can affect the dwell & drying out of a foam. A white car will be cool to the touch even in full sun whereas a dark coloured panel will really hot to touch after a few minutes.I think the MJJC is the problem not the foam & it’s more suited to BH Autofoam and similar watery foams .I am in no hurry to try V2. & if I need a bit more punch I will apply some HDD Road Rage or Surfex HD first.
WIll look forward to the video of your really dirty car Graham, 😀 & yes the Detail Guards are very very useful.
Great video from Graeme Spielberg 😄
All this talk about 2 bucket method versus1 bucket method……I like this no-bucket method using cannon for snowfoam and contact wash shampoo and using multiple mitts. Use a mitt for 2/3 panels, throw it in a bucket, move onto the next clean mitt. Surely the safest method to reduce risk of scratching to an absolute minimum?
🤣🤣 🖖
Yes indeed!!, quicker that you don’t need to fill up 2 buckets & safer as you’re using multiple mitts.
The future is here 🤣
Great and fun content well done, you keep coming up with new ideas, great stuff - must try the neat snow foam idea, will be interesting to see how much product my lance uses (and hopefully improve the foam consistency / fun of use 🙂).
Regarding BH shampoo i used to share your view so i moved to GT shampoo, recently i have tried using up my BH auto wash and just doubled the amount used so I now use about 10ml into 10 to 12L warm water, honestly at this ratio its super slick with great cleaning ability with nice suds. To my mind that's reasonably cost efficient (i use about 18ml of GT shampoo to get the same effect), thought this might be useful for anyone who is considering some. Best wishes.
Ah yes it’s usually 5ml per bucket with BH shampoo isn’t it?, thanks for the tip of using 10ml, I might go back to it one day 😎
Yes the recommended 5ml experience is rather bland to use but double this and its similar to GT for me. Out of interest do you have any idea how much product you went through with the auto foam using it neat? Mind you i'm learning that different snow foam lances can use a lot more or less product. Cheers.
Ah yes some lances can use more product , I’ve actually compared all my 10 lances and noted which ones draw the quickest cause geekiness 🤣
Honestly using the Autofoam in the MJJC I maybe used 150-200ml MAX , I really wish I’d measured it now but it was quite a rush job and I was lucky I was able to squeeze in filming as I wanted it to be a video so much.
What foam lance do you use Tim?
@@GMDetails Its a cheap generic one from clean and shinny, i'm looking to get another when the black Friday sales get going. I have nothing bad to say about mine mainly because i seem to be able to clean two vehicles with the lovely GT snow foam V1 60 -80ml + about 450ml water). It was one of the first things i purchased when getting into this hobby so it's time to try out a more up market option. Possibilities include the MJJC V2, MTM PF22.2 & Stjarnagloss lance. I get good foam with GT but both BH foams are rather runny so i prefer those with an IK sprayer. What are your favourites Graeme?
Erm… 😬 I have collected 10 in the time the channel has been going 🤣
Favourites are the (cheapest to dearest)
Monstershine lance (PA)
Autobrite Direct (PA)

I quite agree, Bilt Hamber are amazing products. Only one issue, Title says Bilt Hamber TOTAL CLEAN & Protect, but you use somebody elses shampoo. Try BH Auto-Wash, you only need 5 ml in 10 litres of water. I put 5 ml in the foam cannon and top it up to 1 litre so it's stronger than they suggest, and still very cheap.
Thanks for the comment , like I said in the video I don’t like Auto Wash, It may well be amazing as a product but I just don’t like it , I don’t like the way it feels, the lack of suds, I’m just not impressed with it at all, so I used a shampoo I do like , sorry it wasn’t what you wanted to see
Nice turn around mate, surfex does look good, I'll have to try some at some point. I like autowash, what's your issue with it? It's autofoam I don't like on account of it needed a 1:1 mix to reach that pir 🤯
Happy Halloween 🎃
Happy Halloween Ben 👻
Autowash I just don’t find enjoyable at all , it’s expensive , has the least amount of suds & I don’t find it particularly slick, plus no scent just ruins the overall enjoyment of what is the hard part of the car clean 😆
Excellent video Graeme, loved the Halloween theme!
Got to be honest the touch on has never appealed to me atol.
Thanks Dave!, I just don’t like spray n rinse sealants mostly because they usually end up smearing the glass when the wipers are on, that’s it all used up now and I don’t think I’ll get any more
Never occured to me i could use the product neat and go lean on the dial🙈 instead i do what everyone does - predillute and then go full rich on the dial. Seems dumb now i think about it 😅
Work smart not harder 🤣🤣
Graeme how much product did you put in the foam canon. Great video mate.
I just poured neat Autofoam in mate , didn’t measure it as I was using the top dilution dial to judge the dilution and poured the remainder back into the Autofoam drum when I was finished
@@GMDetails Sorry Graeme what I meant was how much neat product is in the cannon.
It doesn’t matter how much neat product you put in it , you can fill it if you like but you’ll never use it all 🤣
Honestly anything like 300ml - 500ml and you’ll be cushty 😎
@@GMDetails Thanks Graeme
What shampoo did you use mate?
I used Blitz Detailing Jellybean shampoo in this video , the 1L bottle of it is only £3 more then the 500ml if you want to try some here’s the link to the store blitzdetailing.myshopify.com/products/blitz-detailing-supreme-shampoo-jelly-bean-500ml
