Can you do a video on EPA SOAPs OR SOAPS that's biogradeable
Touch less snow is a completely different system to their other snowfoam. Touchless is to be used with touch-on ceramic shampoo. Touchless snowfoam can be used in varying amounts for how dirty the car is and the season. I use it always as a prewash. In the winter I use 350ml in a 1000ml bottle as that's what the PIR worked out to be. I use around 200ml in a 1000ml bottle in the summer or sometimes less as I'll generally take a view on what crud is stuck to the panels and adjust accordingly. Touch- less is is a more superior snowfoam that Bilt Hamber makes in my opinion. It just brakes down the dirt better and you can see the results in the foam on the floor. Just be sure to buy Touch-on sachets in conjunction with the Touch-less snowfoam for the whole system to work properly 👍
Bilt Hamber Touch-on ceramic shampoo sachets (buy 12 of them, one per month that's all you need) in conjunction with the Touch-less snowfoam is found on the links that Pan has shared above
Hi there. There are people that live outside US, Canada or UK that would LIKE to try the products. How about some links for EU customers? Best regards.
Pan. PIR. This is not a bilt Hamber issue. if you tell people to use a product in a lance given ratio. Eg 1 to 10. The PIR variance across all the different formats of pressure washer and lance combos is vast. And the effective variance in PIR could be huge. Eg 1to10 could mean 1%pir but it could also mean 0.3 PIR in another system. Therefore understanding PIR and how to calculate it. Is a basic thing but it's something people should know for their own benefit not just with BH products, you should think PIR, never lance ratio. It takes 1 minute to do it, you do it for your setup and then you know forever. You said in this video your example ratio 1to20 in the Lance. That typically yields about 0.35% PIR. When minimum PIR should be 2%. Typically 1to2 is a decent ratio for heavy cleaning with af and tl (to give rough idea only as ratio means huge potential variance). Your ratio would be very thin and low for example
Yeah I understand all of that Jon, and that’s great in theory, but I still think they would benefit from simplifying things as far as instructions are concerned. It’s not normal having to write such a long description to explain something that should be as simple to use as a snow foam. This isn’t rocket science here hehe. Again, that’s just my opinion. They are good products, but I just wish they were simpler to figure out. Having to measure a PIR for your specific setup, even if you only have to do it once, isn’t simple by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t think these are meant for the general public who doesn’t have as much detailing experience as you and I.
That being said, I hope you’ll have a great 2022 year and I wish you all the best! Perhaps we’ll see each other in person once again soon! ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer happy new year m8 keep smashing it for 2022. There certainly is a 'thing' with PIR. Loads seem to struggle with it. But there is no real solution for a brand.
Both good points :)
I agree it could be simpler, but you haven’t done justice to the snow foam in this video as the PIR was nowhere near to what it needed to be. Great video as always though!
@@PanTheOrganizer How isnt it simple? Filling your foam cannon with 1 litre of water and dispensing it into a bucket once foam cannon is empty measure the volume in bucket and times by 0.04?????? Just pointless to do the video if youre not going to follow the actual instructions
I actually really appreciate Bilt Hamber giving very specific instructions on how to mix and achieve certain PIRs. I hate this world we live in where everything needs to be dumbed down to the dumbest person in the room. The instructions are super simple…shoot a full cannon of water into a container, when cannon is empty measure the total amount of liquid in container, then multiply that by the number they give you, that’s how much product you need to put into your cannon.
It’s simple, will tune the product ratios to every individual setup, and will save people wasting additional product for no reason, or using too little and not achieving desired results. What’s the issue here exactly?
I wish more companies were that exact, I actually hate some of these wishy-washy general, non-clear, instructions. Cause then you’re never sure if what you’re doing is achieving best possible results from the product, or you start over using and burning money.
also it isn't that hard to do just once. note down how much you need to add to the foam gun. After that one time it's just adding it every single time. I really don't see the issue with it
There are not many companies that provide PIR in their usage directions.
So I was wondering and can't really find any confirmation, but basically if there is no PIR guidance, you can still calculate how much product is needed for your own cannon, right?
Just figure out how much water it takes in total to empty your foam bottle and then use that total volume for more commonly used 1:X delution ratio, just keeping in mind that this is the ratio not for the foam bottle volume but for the total volume you figured out earlier.
Am I right?
And the fact we use Liters and Mililitres here in the UK, and not Ounces and Gallons like Merica and Canada (apparently). And I totally agree with you. The more consise and detailed the instuctions are, the more likely I am to use the product. And it only ever has to be done once for your setup. I was scratching my head wondering what the complaint was to be honest.
I was introduced to this brand by John at Forensic Detailing too, but waiting for them to come to Canada. Thanks for the review, as I'm always looking for good value.
Carzilla in Calgary Alberta Carrie’s the line. Enjoy great stuff
Right on!
You can buy them in canada I buy mine from carzilla Canada
The way Bilt Hamber explains dilutions for a snow foam (PIR) is absolutely correct.. It is completely wrong to give recommendations on dilutions in the actual container for foam cannon as there are 1000 different foam cannons on the market, high pressure washers, with different water volume out and pressure. So the only correct thing to recommend is to calculate the panel impact ratio, exactly Bilt Hamber does. BTW: Pan mixes Auto Foam completely wrong in this video as well. 1:20 in container for foam cannon is far too weak. And we see that in the film. The car is still very dirty after he dries it..
100% correct, Pan doesn’t understand the concept of PIR but I’m sure he’ll understand soon enough 👍🏻
Absolutely correct! It's not a pH nuteral shampoo that you can just put som in a foam canon and spray on. It is important to have correct dilution to get correct cleaning ability.
100% my thoughts exactly. Pan is wrong.
Agree. His ratio measure is both misleading to consumers and clearly far too weak after accounting for water through the cannon. I calculated mine out and 4% PIR was essentially neat Auto Foam in the cannon. Works fantastic and I only use about 1/3 of a cannon fill for each prewash. BH is the best in my book (when used as directed😳)
@@chriskoeplin6085 He does not understand the PIR dosage instructions. Its too weak at 1:20 in the foam canon, I use it 1:1. He said its got amazing cleaning power. It will be like water. You are right it is misleading.
I've used BH for a while now. No hype, no fancy packaging, just products that work at a sensible price. I also really like their Double Speed Wax....
Yeah DS wax is brilliant.
Second for Double Speed Wax 🙌🏻
guys, how would you rate DSW for chemical resistance? I have had fusso on my car, but once they started salting the roads, the front and sides of the car were stripped of the protection. I want to try something else before the winter is over.
How many oz you put in lance?
Hello from the UK. You guys from North America are going to love BH products !
Do you work for the company?
@@chezchezchezchez nope, just love using their products. They are super cheap in the UK. Where as products from the US are pretty expensive(due to tax) Hope people give them a go.
Bilt Hamber products are fantastic! A brand that is one of the best bang for your buck. Whatever I used from them I was very impressed.
I’ve used Bilt Hamber for years now, and I think 90%+ of UK detailers use their foam. You honestly can’t beat them.
No fancy labels, no marketing, non caustic, great dilution and amazing cleaning strength 👌🏼
There newer bottles are a lot more user friendly as well as the shampoo use to have a huge opening so you could very easily over pour the product.
Great review Pan 👍🏼
Thanks I appreciate the feedback!
It’s about time you got your hands on BH products 😍 Auto wheel is by far one of the best on the market imo
I think the dilution ratio for auto wash is a 50/50 dilution (I may be wrong) but I think the ratio used in the demo was too weak, but I could be wrong
@@ptheledge5390 auto was very concentrated, only a small amount needed!
@@ptheledge5390 Maybe you mean the Auto foam?
@@ptheledge5390 No Pan was right, its very concentrated.
Hi pan, great to see bilt hamber on the channel. I find the bilt range extremely good value for money with extremely good cleaning power. I'm from the UK myself. Great video, keep up the good work. Hope you've had a good Christmas and have a happy new year
A little odd to read this - part Pan's post - on the other hand the fact that Bilt Hamber APPEARS to be new.
Bilt Hamber is "old school" for Europeans, as this brand has been around for years. Similar to Koch Chemie and Sonax. The bad thing is that these brands are only now becoming known across the ocean. I myself live in Belgium. Similar to the Sonax Perfect Finish that was well established, but unprecedented in the States.
BH positions itself among Koch Chemie, Nanolex, CarPro, Megs, etc. The quality is impeccable, and the price irresistible.
They don't make 885 products for every application, but what they have works great.
I would say order!
Thanks Alex and happy new year!
Everyone in the UK smiling watching this video… 😁
Autofoam I normally use 100ml product to about 600ml water - a little more in winter or if dirtier.
Shampoo - I think you’ve over complicated it, I personally stick between 15-20ml in the bucket and go from there - ignore their tea spoon comments: I’m not sure why they’ve even mentioned it…
BH are huge in the UK (just for anyone outside of the UK wondering what all the fuss is about).
To give context they are used by professionals / hobbyists alike as they are well known for their cleaning ability and vehicle protection. They also make waxes which again are no none sense but highly regarded
Enjoy!
YEEEAAAAHHH BABY, been using these products myself and so glad you got your hands on these too, been waiting for this video for so long!
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks very much Pan, for spending your own money to bring us such amazing video👍
Thanks for watching!
I used to use so many different wheel cleaning products, then I found BH auto wheel. That's all I use now, amazing stuff.
Niice
I can say the same with jaxwax, exoforma, etc....
Together with P&S it is one of the brands that are not expensive, do their job excellently, no fancy marketing but just to the point.
The cleaning capability + the low price + high dilution ratio. Absolutely love it. 10/10
Believe me, BH are the best in the game!!!
Ive spent so much money and tried so many different brands but there's no comparison to majority BH products
@@jamesarmitage8399 i agree, im a massibe fan of Valetpro !!
Thanks Pan, always great to hear about a new product supplier and watch your review.
Thanks!
I have used auto foam for awhile now. I love it. Thank you for doing this video. I have been waiting for it.
Hopefully you'll get your hands on Garage Therapy soon enough. Another great English brand.
Love Bilt Hamber products. I live in the UK. Dilution instructions are mind boggling but the more I use the product I will get there. Still find the cleaning power great. Thanks Pan and Happy New Year...
Happy new year June!
Hello Pan!
And thank you for another great video!
PIR (Panel Impact Ratio) is the correct way of getting the right mixture of chem onto a panel at a specified rated dilution.
My foamer have a throughput of 17Liter with a 1Liter bottle. gives me 680ML but usually i can wash my car twice on a 1L bottle.
17*0.04= 0.68 L
How i wash my car: (Friday wash)
1. Foam the entire car including the wheels and inside the wheel arches.
2. Use the wheel/tire brush on wheels/tires and when all 4 wheels are done rinse the wheels and then the body. (perfect duration for me)
3. Check panels and wheels IF they need a extra wash or they are ok or a tad of surfexHD or a dab tar remover.
4. If all needs a extra prewash just refoam again and wait 4-5 minutes the rinse off, and if its only the wheels just spray Autofoam or autowheel on them.
5. Do the hand wash autowash, when done, start rinsing the wheels then body.
Done.
I rarely use surfexHD or autowheel on my wheels as its usually not needed when i use 4% autofoam and wheel woolly on them.
After a wash id like to use Bilt Hamber QD as drying aid. (1:20 mixture) 1-2 sprays per panel and dry off.
Soo quick and looks nice afterwards as well smells great!
Winter mix varies a bit but general a tad higher concentration or mix it up/together (autofoam+Surfex HD)
Strongest mixture.
Autofoam 2-4% and 10% Surfex HD into foamer IF needed.
That will really give some cleaning effect BUT will drain on the protection layer, not remove it unless its very old.
As for duration for waxes and sealant.
When I still could commute to work before the beerflu. (i commuted about 198Miles per day)
I usually just prewashed the car when i got home and rinsed it off then a quick AIR dry (Leaf blower)
This i did everyday and every Friday the car got a full wash.
Waxes, Sealants.
I use Soft99 FussoCoat Dark v1, it lasts about 6-7 months here in Sweden.
Sure Fusso could lasts a little longer IF i choose to use a QD mixed as 1:5 as a mid gloss wax quick detailer but i loose the fusso coat hydrophobics, soo.
Another nice sealant i tend to use are Menzernas Ultimate PowerLock, Fast and quick to use lasts about 2-3 months with a daily autofoam prewash.
As well as Bilt Hamber double speed wax which looks better to me vs fusso coat and lasts about the same.
Fusso have better hydrophobic in the get-go but a few months in they're about the same, but double speed still looks better to my eyes.
Also for the summer bugs i use around 10% surfexHD mixture in a separate sprayer before prewash.
Sometimes i need to work it into the bug guts with a brush before proceeding with the prewash stage.
Sure it is harder on the protection layer but hey those pesky bugs guts splatter are worse.
And yes i don't buy kitchen cleaners and floor cleaners anymore.
SurfexHD in 1-5% mixture in a spray bottle, it solves the burnt owen, Bathroom, tables and steel tables, floors etc.
Not so great on windows but doable.
On the other spectrum SurfexHD 33% to neat if needed! Works wonders to clean out oil pans, valve covers, engine blocks, oil spil and with a brush for more agitations. (dont forget gloves and eye protection)
Only you're imagination limits the uses for surfex HD.
Some info.
Im a 50 years old dude who's daily driver is a Volvo V60 2017.
Been using Bilt Hamber for about 6 years now.
I use these Bilt Hamber products:
AutoWash (Yes a bottle REALLY lasts forever)
Autofoam (It really works!! )
Autowheel (Best smelling wheel cleaner as well. Wont try to strangle you like valet pro`s Dragon Breath!)
Auto QD (Drying aid, quick detailer, clay lube, no water wash, quick and dirty wax on wax off)
AutoClay Medium (Easiest clay to mold before use, is it just me or does this clay do less damage/scratches to the paint than other clays)
Surfex HD (It WILL clean ANYTHING if used to right % and its environment friendly as well as all of BH products)
Korresol (Same here smells nice)
Ferrosol (A lot better than WD40 or any other brands of lubricants and cheaper too)
Double Speed wax (Kinda like fussocoat but with a carnuba look, smells a tad better than Fusso coat)
BH Microfiber (Really good quality microfibers, not the normal BH bang for the buck though.. just had to try them)
BH wax aplicators (Insane value here again)
Only drawback with these products are...
When will i be bothered to use the old products i got laying around or should i just toss em out..
Wow that's one of the most detailed comment I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing! And thanks for supporting my channel. :)
Hello, what a comment! Brilliant, I had a question about auto foam + surfex hd mixing I know you mention auto foam 2-4% and surefex hd 10% just wanted more clarification on the 10% please? Just for example if foam lances is 1000ml 4% is say 500ml of auto foam and 500 ml of what do you measure the 10% from? Is it the 1000ml or is it from what left of the 500ml of water?
Glad you finally got built hamber products reviewed , or us brits would of had to of chipped in to send John over to talk about microfibre buffing cloths with you 😂. These products last a long long time , autowheels is so strong I use every 3/4 weeks and a little goes a long way. I have all these products to keep alongside the more “bling” products for when the car is less dirty.
Spot on video as usual Pan, been using Bilt Hamber here in the UK for years.
Hi Pan, thanks for your educative videos as always! I am using BH korrosal and Touch less here in Kampala, very good tip on not using the Touch less for every wash as I also noticed seems to break down wax/sealant protection and dilution instructions.
What really captured me about the brand is the company specializes in corrosion and oxidation removal and protection. They then brought that to detailing supplies. Korosol is possibly my favorite iron remover it even pulled up the stains in my driveway as it rinsed from the car.
The AutoFoam can also be used in a pump sprayer which makes the dilution simple as there’s one ‘dilution event’.
If using a cannon, what BH say makes perfect sense as everybody has different pressure washer set ups which could massively impact how much of the product ultimately hits the car.
It takes two minutes. Sorry to my North American friends, done in litres as I don’t use ounces
Fill your Lance bottle with water, blast that into a bucket until it’s empty, see how many litres that is (helps if you have a bucket with markers in the inside), then times that by the strength you want, 1%, 2%, 4% or whatever which tells you how much AF to put in the lance bottle, then top up with water. Only have to do that once unless you change your pressure washer.
For example,
I fill my Lance bottle with water
I spray into a bucket until the Lance bottle is empty
The bucket has 12 litres of water in it
I want 2% mix
12 x 0.02 = 240
I add 240ml of AF to the lance bottle and top up with water
If in future I want a 4% solution, I double it to 480ml, if I want 1%, I halve it to 120ml.
My 1 litre bottle will do 2-3 cars and I usually use a PIR of 1 or 2% so, a 5 litre bottle of products lasts for ages and is fantastic value, even with shipping as I no longer live in the U.K.
It’s fantastic stuff, I wish I could buy it locally without having to pay a bit more for transport cost.
brilliant video you explain everything in plain english so you make it easier to understand for us weekend vehicle washers thank you very much
Thanks for the positive feedback Brian. I appreciate it!
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we surpassed 880,000 subscribers and we have over 112 million views! I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
BH offer amazing value it can’t be overstated. When I got into detailing this year I started with Surfex HD and some shampoo (not BH) and that got me going!
Surfex HD is an incredibly versatile product, at the right ratios it can be used everywhere! I would recommend it to anyone looking to get into detailing, as universal product.
Great review 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing!
Will it strip sealant at 20%?
i'm glad you reviewed this brand..been curious about it for a while because unlike the usual suspect, these were readily available here in Ireland. i loved the Carpro Dilute bottles too because of the ease of diluting but the trigger sprayer leak at some point, either way i still love them and no big deal for i always use nitrile gloves anyway.
Hi Pan , been using BH products for years in the Uk - awesome.
I think you may have misinterpreted Auto Wheels - it’s fine on the discs , callipers, pads etc just kept it away from painted surfaces and plastics , although I’ve never had an issue.
Great content as always!
Pan, thank you for another great and informative video. Love it!
Thanks!
Well thanks for introducing me to a brand that I had never heard of! You are the greatest Pan.
My pleasure!
Pan, great video just like all your previous! Keep em coming! Great mention for John in the UK, another of my trusted reviewers 👍
Thanks Elliot! Happy new year!
Happy new year to you too!
I like your guidelines for the comments. I would challenge people to consider: Even though we all enjoy easy and simple, it’s often worthwhile to take the time and effort to calculate and be intentional-in many areas of our lives. In the long run, it’s usually more efficient and economical.
Super cool to see you reviewing Bilthamber products Pan! I'm also one those people who finds the instructions for the dilution ratios honestly quite annoying. Bilthamber needs to simplify their instructions. Thank you Pan for all the awesome tips and tricks throughout 2021. Happy New Year! Can't wait for all the new videos in 2022!
Happy New Year Konsta! And wait til you see what awesome videos I have planned for January! Stay tuned. :)
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you Pan! I definitely will stay tuned as always😃.
Excellent video thanks Pan. Their dilutable Spray Detailer is also excellent. I agree about the instructions as well they need to be clearer.
WOW! Fantastic in-depth video. Appreciate all the details you provided. Thanks for all the hard work and content you provided again this year. Happy New Year, lots of good health and continued success. C U in 2022
Thanks Johnny and happy new year!
Gr8 review for a curios brand Pan. Nice to know that BH products are eco-friendly as well.
Thanks Audie!
Great review Pan as usual . I've been using auto wheel, surfex HD and auto foam for a few years now and I'm very pleased. You are correct with the PIR as for some people it would be complicated but it's a fantastic product . Thanks again Pan 👍
Thanks for watching and happy new year!
@@PanTheOrganizer and to you Pan
I use and love the Bilt Hamber Atom Mac. It is a dilutable product to spray on e.g. disc brakes to stop them from building a brown color after getting wet in the wheel wash proces.
100%, i've looked and tried many others but Atom Mac is just the king with this product. Quite expensive but it absolutely does what it promises.
Bilt Hamber no.1 for cleaning imo. Absolutely solid well priced products 👍
I like using Extra Tough as a prewash. It removes about 98%. Works AMAZINGLY well!!
Great to see a British brand on the channel, they have quite a small range but they are all very good . I believe the company started producing products for the Aerospace industry. I use surfex hd,auto foam and autowheels regularly also I really like double speed wax amazingly long lasting wax.
Thanks for watching Gary!
Love that little hesitation! You are the best!
🤪
Thanks for another great video Pan! I've yet to try Bilt Hamber products, but may have to test them in the future.
Thanks Marsh!
Hi Pan. Amazingly comprehensive video. It certainly made the Bilt Hammer fans happy as evidenced by the comments. Although I minored in Economics/Statistics, I can already see that the instructions and dilution ratios are a barrier for me. But I’m going to watch the vid again to see which of these products makes sense for me.
I wish you and your family a healthy, happy New Year! Looking forward to more of your wonderfully informative videos!
It is really easy to work out PIR and you only have to do it once. Give it a go and you won't be disappointed by the results.
Happy new year Cynthia!
I use the wheel cleaner at a 3:1 dilution for general maintenance and find it’s still highly effective and of course even better value. Same goes for the korrosol, for maintenance purpose 2:1/3:1 it’s still very effective. I’ve tried tonnes of snow foams, and while some look more impressive due to as you say the “shaving foam” thickness, I’ve yet to find one that cleans as well as auto foam, which lets face it is the whole point of the pre wash!
I live in Scotland in the UK and Bilt Hamber is the best for all cleaning, it's reasonably cheap but high quality and is my go to for all cleaning purposes in my car. Also a product that Pan didn't include is touch on which is a ceramic based highly hydrophobic product that you can spray on your car with your snow cannon and simply rinse off and leaves a great finish. Especially during winter when you it's not so easy to apply a wee especially if you don't have a garage to work in. Great products.
They look like some top quality products. I'll certainly give them a try when spring comes around. Thanks for sharing, Happy New Year! 😃😎🏎🏎
Happy new year Jay!
Nice video Pan, totally agree with your request for easier instructions…good value as well. Though the higher PH levels I don’t think are for me, I enjoyed learning about other products. Thanks 🙏
Thanks Chris!
Great comprehensive review. I've never tried any of the BH products but have watched reviews of them. May need to try some out!
Thanks!
Looks like great products, great review Pan!
Thanks Donald
Hi Pan thanks for another great in depth video on the Bilt Hamber products.
I watch lots of Johns videos on the Forensic Detailing channel here in the UK and he got me started on the BH journey with his passionate review of BH Auto Foam
I now have several of the BH products and use these ones regularly.
- Auto Foam at 4% PIR. The calculation method is on the 5L BH bottle and it took me 5 mins to calculate for my foam cannon and pressure washer which I never need to do again. It works out as 500ml product and 500ml water for me.
- Auto Wash at 5ml per 10L bucket for my contact wash
- Surfex HD at 10 parts water to 1 part Surfex in the 'IK Foamer 2' for my tyres and wheels
- Auto wheel for alloy wheel decontamination
- Auto QD at 10 parts water to 1 part QD as a drying agent for a streak free finish
One BH product I'd like to see reviewed is their new 'Touch On' 30ml Crystalline hydrophobic treatment' for topping up your protection during the wash. Specifically how best to apply it quickly and effectively and its durability / hydrophobicity
Thanks for sharing Earl!
Finally you got it! Nice work!
Hi Pan, greetings from England. Great video. I have been using all of the products that you featured for a couple of years and would highly recommend them all. It is not to difficult to work out the PIR ratios and you only need to do it once. Following this, I would recommend using a stronger ratio for the snow foams. For a dirty car, I use 300 ml in a 1 litre snow foam bottle to give a PIR of 4%. This ratio will leave a dirty car as featured here almost spotlessly clean, far cleaner than in the video. You also had concerns that these products could damage your LSP but I have had no issues with this.
Cheers Mark!
That's really a lot of product though. I've been using it for a while, but it never wowed me yet. (I usually do a 1:10/100ml to 1000ml dilution)
Do you mind explaining how to calculate the PIR??
@@sebster6031 For a very dirty car, with my set up I use 300ml of product and 600ml water in the snow foam lance. This is a P.I.R. of 4% and the results are amazing. If I'm in a hurry I just snow foam, rinse and go with a car thats more than 97% clean.
To calculate PIR, fill your foam lance to your usual level with plain water. Using your pressure washer, spray into a bucket until the container is empty with the valve set for maximum soap. Then measure the contents of the bucket which will be the total amount of water that you would have put on the car. For a PIR of 4% multiply this quantity by 0.04 (for 2% multiply by 0.02 etc). The value that you get is then the amount of product that you need to put in your snow foam lance.
Therefore if say you have 9l of water in your bucket, multiply this by 0.04 and you get 360 ml. So to achieve a PIR of 4% you need to add 360 ml of soap to you snowfoam lance and top up with water.
There are videos on CZcams if my explanation isn't clear. Good luck.
@@markcraddock8983 makes perfect sense and it’s VERY easy to figure out. I’m just a Joe homeowner and no pro and followed exactly what you said.
Hi Pan, in my pressure washer setup with my snow foam cannon I use the BH snowfoam undiluted and turn the knob to minimum amount of product. I have calculated this to be about 1.4% PIR.
Turning the knob more open for 2.5 revolutions gives me just about 4% PIR. This way I "refill" my snowfoam canon usually to about 200 ml of pure product which suffices to prewash several cars. On more heavily dirty cars I go to about 4%, on the cleaner cars I tend to the minimum PIR my canon gives me.
I'm definitely trying this out! Didn't know about this one
Thanks for the review
You bet!
The PIR is done once to your pressure washer setup. If you have a soap/chemichal dispenser on your PW it's usually a 1:20 dilution or 5%. The problems is when you uses ounches and gallons. So if you take the time it's pretty simple to be doing. For an example to do it quickly. Messure up 10 ounches in the foamcannon bottle. Empty it on the max chemichal mix on the foamcannon into a bucket. Messure the amount of water in the bucket in ounches (proberly spelling it wrong sorry) and the total amount times 0.04. The result is the amount of Auto-Foam or Touch-less you need in the foamcannon bottle for every 10 ounches. And you will only to be doing it once. You can messure up the water in the amount that you will usually be useing on your vehical. Messure the total amount and have a bucket with amount marks on it for even easier. You can do this test to the minimum setting on the chemichal setting as well. It's not hard to count out what your PW give your foamcannon dilution at the highest or the lowest setting this way. Then you can write this up and use to other chemichal for getting better dilution ratio from soaps and other APC or what you foam on your vehical.
Pro tips for BH Auto-Foam when it's winter months and very grimy conditions outside. Mix 50/50 with Auto-Foam and Surfex HD. Dial down from max chemichal setting to about a third part of the setting on the foamcannon. The cleaning ability is insane this way.
I live in Sweden and have washed vehicals that's dirtier than the car in the video. With the Auto-Foam to 4-5% PIR I don't have any visible dirt left. Sure there are grime left but it's things that you need to be handwash to get rid off.
But even with a very low dilution it shows it's capable cleaning ability in this video. Even if you where to fill the foamcannon bottle with 1:3 dilution on the max setting you will a highly jump in the cleaning ability. And still not be having it over the 4% PIR is my guess. Test it out on a winter dirty vehical. The downside with BH Auto-Foam is that's not so highly concentrated sadly. But for me it's worth it.
If you have a car available with wash marring. Test to wax it with Bilt Hamber Auto-Balm wax. It's the best wax that I have used that covers light scratches. Also a huge benefit is that this wax also have korrosion inhibitors in it. Say you have a lot of open and rusty rockchips. Take the rust of with Korrosol and apply Auto-Balm and you have them rust free after 3-5 months. Or wax the bare metal on the undercarrige and edges that's damaged on some cars. It prolong the time before you need to be doing something about it. And also don't need to be polishing and it still looks great before it wears off LOL
Just ordered one of your t-shirts! Keep up the great work and have an amazing New Year!!!
Thanks for your support John! Which model and color did you get?
Happy new year!
@@PanTheOrganizer "Detailing is a Lifestyle" Comfort Tee in Red
The BH Range is amazing.
Autowheel - Used neat on alloys or slightly diluted for bodywork.
Surfex HD - 1:10 Exterior or 1:50 Interior
Touchless/Auto Foam - 4% PIR which works out to be 50/50 product/water in my lance.
Auto Wash - 5 ml per 10L
yes same what i do and touchless max 4% Panel Impact Ratio in hand pump (4ml per 96 ml water)
best way fore me to calculat pir czcams.com/video/fZ_dyRofcHg/video.html
Yes defo same for me with auto foam! Don't really see how Pan would get 4PIR at 1 to 20, but I'm sure he knows what he is doing. Must have a powerful pressure washer.
👍🏼
PIR calulate you only have to do it once very easy
Great video. I had never heard of BH before. Definitely will be trying them out. I’ve always preferred a runny snow foam. My thinking has always been that if it’s running down the panels it’s able to remove particles. Shaving cream looks good but is only for show in my opinion.
I’ve now started to use an APC pre rinse, so the BH products should fit in perfectly.
You won't need an apc pre rinse. Just apply Touch-less snow foam to a dry car, you'll only dilute the foam if you prewash it and make the cleaning powder less effective. Use their car shampoo to get the harder stuff off then use touch-on shampoo as LSP and check out the extreme hydrophobic properties its has. All of BH products are highly condensed, you'll have you use another container to store products in whilst you water them down to fulfill a specific need. Such as their apc, fallour remover, xar car wash shampoo is around 10p per wash! And their detailing spray has different uses has different applications and results depending on what you do with it. I.e mix 70:30 with water and you'll get deep lustre shine, mix it 30:70 you'll get a clay bar lube, 40:60 and a drying aid and so forth. Its so cheap and so powerful designed by chemical engineers who have been around since the 1960s. They are all a committed brand to be as ethical a d environment focused as possible. I really should like to gain employment from them as I strongly believe in the brand. Recommend mixing their products with deionised water 👍
British and the best. Simple as that. 🇬🇧
Stop the nonsense. Go look at someone the products coming from other countries
hi pan, great to see BH , as they have anti rust in them it's great for the cars that I detail, touch less for underneath is good as the sugar attacks the road salt, their clay bar is awesome aswell
Finally bilt hamber .... Iam Very happy well done Pan great products
Thanks Aris!
That would be a great video Pan showing his fund the bests products for diluting like pipets!
Great Review and seams to be a good line of products, i don't need it but exist many Portugueses who need legends in Portuguese. Thank you for all you effort, anda i begin to detail my car because of you. Greetings from Portugal! (sorry for my rusty English ;)
Cheers from Montreal and happy new year!
That iron remover looks pretty legit! Another great review 💪🏼🙏🏼
Hey hey PAN!! Watching all the way fr new Zealand have been following for we time will admit have been slack of the liking not saying I don't love the videos haha so I will make sure to get those likes up for ya but great videos man you actually break things down so that they are very simple to understand
Thanks for the feedback Trent!
To say that Mercedes had zero protection on it, that Auto foam did a great job at removing the amount it did!
I’ve always been a fan of Bilt Hamber, if ever I’m cleaning a really dirty car I’ll apply Surfex HD to the car (dry) then rinse it off and apply Auto Foam, I’ve always found that works quite well.
Great video Pan 👍🏼
Happy New Year pan the man too you and your family thank you for keeping us wonderfully entertained throughout the years always a joy to watch the new video and finally bilt-hamber oh what joy love and respect from the UK wax on wax off😂😂😂😂😂😎
Thanks happy new year!
Finally! BH has the best products, period! 😍
Thanks Pan .Καλή χρονιά με υγεία
Καλή χρονιά!
Just tried Surfex HD 10:1 on my car, and even used it in my home! :) good stuff! 👍
Hi Pan great content as ever good to see you have the BH range there now all great products , excellent value , after all my going through products I landed on surfex hd as a pre rinse , Auto foam as a pre was and korosol as a fallout, (brake buster for wheel cleaner) auto wheel isn’t a fallout as they states on they’re description it just has the same reactor in it to show its working , these keep the initial prewash economical for me 👍🏻
This is the feed back I got when requiring about dilution for Surfex hd so I stick to this and works well :
“You only need it to be in at 5% so 50ml in 1 litre or 250ml in 5 litres. You could push to 10% if the car was filthy.”
You got your hands on Bilt Hamber! Great stuff! 👍
Totally!
27:16 I 100% agree, Im more of a runny soap kinda person, but anticipate high cleaning capabilites. I think foam only benefits when you want to see where you have been instead of the therapeutic nature of it. Makes it easier to rinse too! Thanks for elaborating on this Pan! Not many folk agree nor see the logic on the benefits of a low foam solution. ;)
I thought you would be trying to convert quarts with amounts suggested on bottles, so I was impressed with all your detailed explanations. Am waiting to try this product at home, but got to pass on the products to others or I have use them.Hope to see more vids in the New Year Happy 2022 Pan.
Happy new year Phil!
Great video & being from the UK 🇬🇧 it’s great to see on your channel - you must try out BH cleanser polish
Hi Pan I have never seen these before but have heard about their products so TY for doing this review. I will now try and find out if they are available here in Australia. They seem a great product from your testing of them and I am a pensioner so I am always looking for value for money products to maintain my vehicle in tip top condition and looking wonderful. Once again TY mate
Happy new year big man, we love a bit of bilt hamber over here
Happy new year!
I use the snow foam here in the U.K. I have a pump dispenser on my gallon container. I dispense 20 pumps into my 1 litre foam cannon bottle, then top up to 800 ml with water. I find that’s the best ratio for me. Definitely the best snow foam I’ve used.
According to the instructions auto wheels should be applied to a dry wheel. Also the dilution ratio seems very low compared to what I tend to see following the Bilt Hamber PIR guide.
Bilt Hamber Q.D is a superb product. It will even work diluted at 9:1! Used neat or at 1:1 spread with a microfibre pad then buffed, it is effectively a high-gloss, super-slick sealant. Very strongly recommended.
Great review, pan. I’ve been detailing my vehicles for well over 10 years now and love to try all the different brands and products. The BH auto foam is only one of two products I stick with. The other being Koch Chemie Fb for wheels/fallout. When I first tried it I was very disappointed with how it looked with low foam and quick run off. But the cleaning is excellent and value for money is great. What you get is high performing cleaning, not Hollywood foaming.
Thanks for sharing!
great video Pan, very similar to Infinity Wax's Powerfoam, similar sugar cleaning ingredient and it also has corrosion protection included. I use AM Details Foam during the summer and IW Powerfoam during winter. May need to try some of the BH products to see if it can beat any of my usual go-to line-up, but will need to hire a maths genius to help with dilutions 🤣.
Hi pam I use sufexhd at 20 to 1 and also at 10 to 1 in pump spray. I am from the uk and bilt hammer is real good and cheap.
Hi Pan - Another super informative and none biased review of some great british products. I agree that including PIR for weekend warriors almost puts you off ! Thanfully I bought mine based upon reccomendation from CZcamsrs and not by choossing from off a shelf. Ive been using Korrosol mainly as a complimentary wheel cleaner as you suggest & surfex HD as a pre wash for about 12 months (it aslo works great as a mountain bike cleaner) @ 10% Ratio. Some constructive feedback for you now, The video was slightly confusing by splitting it to make the meguiars video. I would have liked to have seen the Bilt Hamber Auto wash in action as this was a Bilt Hamber product review. Please do a video on the Auto wash if you can as I have alsways been a bit sceptical at the dilition ratios of 2 tea spoons in a 5 gallon bucket. Have a great 2022 and thanks for all of the videos.
I found Pan’s website by accident, and now it’s my go-to site! Yes, the BH snow foam instructions are a bit detailed, but as others have said, you only need to do it once. I did the set up initially using a Karcher K4 with the original hose and it took 11 litres of water to empty the foam cannon. Later, I changed to a much more user-friendly after-market hose on the Karcher, and the cannon emptied after just 9 litres. So the dilution ratio can be affected by the equipment used.
Thanks for the trust you place in my videos Paul. You said you discovered my channel by accident. How exactly did that happen? What were you searching for?
Nice showcase Pan! Ive been hearing this brand for quite some time and glad you made a video with your take on it. I love the simplicity of this brand, just one subject and one chemical, thats it! I appreciate brands that dont overwhelm you with the same product just different color, scent, and sticker. Nice job on the car tho!
Bummer its not "available" here in the US, I mean it is, but its price gauged to hell with shipping fees more than the product itself (where i am located). On top of that, Cali has some pretty strict laws here to wash a car, let alone rinse with water on the driveway -___- (i know right?) I guess ill just keep crossing my fingers until they make an alternate chemistry to sell in the US, kinda like how KochChemie did with their line to bring to the US.
Hope you had a great Xmas Cardo!
Looks like they do things differently and better for it too - a great choice for an awesome info-packed brand review 👍 It looks like doing the extra legwork to get those ratios right may be worth it. And I'm so glad you didn't edit out that brain cramp haha
Hehehe the joys of filming! :) Thanks for the comment Andrew. Hope you are having a great day!
I’ve been using Bilt Hamber since last year when I learned about them. I LOVE their Korrosol, Auto Wash, Touch-Less, Cleanser-Fluid, and their clay bars. The auto-wash is ridiculous in how little you need to achieve amazing results, and it’s super slick, a lot slicker than your usual Honeydew type soaps.
I like that the company doesn’t do gimmicks, just focuses on desired results. I like products from other brands, and use them as well, but Bilt Hamber is my go to for serious work when it comes to general cleaning, washing, or decon. I do want to try the Koch Chemie GSF, and their Active Foam washes, as well as the MotorPlast and GreenStar…I hear good things about them as well.
Which is better surfex or auto wash because I cant figure what the difference is
Your totally right about directions. You pros beat it into us to READ THE DIRECTIONS!! And yes we should. I'm not one to just wing it, and dump some detergent in a bucket. Measure it so we can have similar results on our cars every wash. It sounds like Insane cleaner, just don't make me Insane trying to dilute. I'll wait a bit to purchase until the scientists help us regular folks understand what their talking about. Super duper video Pan! Thank you a ton for reviewing BM!
BH
Thanks Kim and happy new year!
Lol I never looked at the name of the youtuber but just automatically assumed it was the forensic detailer. It is nice to see Pan using Bilt Hamber.
Excellent video
Very helpful video
I was very interested in what you (Pan the Organizer) thought about Bilt Hamber products
Thank you for this video
Thanks for the trust you place in my opinion
@@PanTheOrganizer Happy New Year
Great video review Pan!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Mike!
I'm useing the bilt hamber products maybe almost 2 years now they are very good and is so exspensive like other brands plus great cleaning power . I found this brand via Jon's Channel
know as the Forensic Detailing channel he does all kind of reviews and test with these products against others products it is very education channel !!highly recommended channel to take a look !!
Would like to see you review all the bilt hamber protection products such as double speed wax, finis wax, hydra wax, auto balm and touch on. Shame you didn't cover the polishes they offer but brilliant review all the same.
So in my foam cannon do I put in 1 glug or 2 glugs?
Hello Pan, I know this video was only about actual cleaning, but I use the BH QD diluted about 1:10. Once the car is dry use really sparingly and it just gives the paint that little extra top up of sparkle.
Also rate the double speed wax.
