Good tip about not rinsing before using the snow foam. Really impressed with the result too!
I’ve used 5 different snowfoams at a variety of strengths but this just cleaned better than anything I’ve seen!
What you can do to make sure the pre wash gets rid of all the bugs…..before the touch less is put on a citrus APC, dedicated bug remover or even surfex hd and then lay the foam on top. Or even mix surfex into the touch less mix and apply it as a foam and it works wonders. Truly hard to beat.
Great video. Nice style, delivery and editing. Great product. I love it too. Wicked little car too. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, thank you!
Product is outstanding, can’t wait for obsessed garage to stock it
Great vid. I'm here in the US so I hadn't heard of bilt hamber until recently but I hear it's one of the only pre wash snow foams worth a damn. Ordered some touch less this morning, excited to try it out!
Very impressive, all the snowfoams I’ve used in the past didn’t come close to this! The most impressive bit for me was the wheels they were almost clean with all the brake dust gone. You will not be disappointed- thank you for watching
If you ever come across kenotek cargo 4100 in the states get it ,bilt Hamber is excellent but kenotek s on another level
We’re so lucky to have BH to readily available and inexpensive in the UK. It’s usually the other way round!
You would have a heart attack if you saw how much it costs in Australia
Great foam cleans well ,garage therapy stuff is as good ,the decon shampoo is fantastic if you really are dealing with filthy cars on a daily basis
It really looks great ...
I am very disappointed that i missed a clip of the wheels showing how dirty they were the cleaning power is quite incredible!
@@ZER0Y0N there's always the next video ...
Dont pay attention to panel impact ratio. Its bollocks maths to make you use more product. Use what ever you're comfy, but if you use 10% in your cannon and run it on more than half on the pick up dial, bilt hamber will work consistently.
Yeah why listern to the makers, after all what do they know?
Does this product pre-clean better than just putting a few ounces of APC with your regular wash in your foam cannon? If so, very impressive. If not, I am having a hard time justifying buying this product.
Ok it is good. But what about the waxed surface? It is damaged?
hello from about 3.000 km away from u, thank you for the video/info/mixing produkt, that's give's u a like and subscribe.
You are very welcome!
What shoes are you wearing?
Their rust treatment item (deox c ) is the dogs , hoping this is as good
Been using BH auto foam for years, it's the best available in my opinion (worked as a valeter in the trade).
Touchless is a few quid more expensive and has a PH of 11, auto foam is a few quid cheaper and has a ph of 12.
Both are great, and realistically there is no difference between them in cleaning power so auto foam saves you a few quid.
Just curious how much of the 1 litre of product actually gets used? I know you have to dispose of that so wonder how much would be wasted?
good video, does seem alot of product is used though - thus making it quite expensive i would of thought?
It does generally appear that it’s more expensive - but the point is that it does the job, the whole idea of the pre wash stage is to loosen and soften the dirt so you minimise scratching during the contact wash - I’ve tried so so many different snow foams, all the fancy ones, colourful ones, well marketed and the ones that smell amazing - but I came to the realisation my paint was still getting scratched as they didn’t ever really move anything they just looked good. This stuff works. You use more but it’s cheaper to begin with in comparison to others where you will pay £12 for a 500ml bottle
My foam container on my lance is a 700 mil one how much in mill would I need
Sadly it’s a bit more complicated than that as it all depends on impact rate, do you have a budget with measurements on? Or at least know how many litres? You need to fill your snow foam lance with water then fire into a bucket when your water in the lance has gone calculate how much total water you have accumulated. Divide that number by 0.04 and that’s the amount of product you need. Hope that helps
Hi mate great video if your putting 400ml plus per wash does that mean your getting about ten washes for a 5 litres bottle? Cheers mate
Correct, For cars that are not really dirty as in summer with less rain and road film you can go down to 2% PIR so half, The thing to remember is the point of a prewash is to get the dirt off / loosened so you are less likely to scratch your vehicle, I have tried so many fancy snow foams and they may foam a lot and smell nice but Bilt Hamber actually does the job
Thank you so much mate for the reply really appreciate it.
It works really well at 1% PIR on most moderately well cared for vehicles, in this example 4% is way more than needed. The updated version launched a couple of months ago effectively halves the amounts needed as the recommended ranges is now 0.5% to 2% PIR.
I used it for the first time yesterday after a week of dust storms here in Cyprus. With a Karcher K5 and MJJC Pro 2, I needed 60ml of product for 0.5% PIR as an initial test.
I had 700ml of mix left in the bottle after cleaning our Qashqai which came up beautifully clean, our Q8 will probably used about 400-450ml of the remaining 700ml in the bottle, so 60ml of Touch-Less will almost do 3 cleans - depending on which order they are washed - so that’s less than £0.20 per wash, which for something that actually works is tremendous value in my opinion. Can’t see any value in increasing the PIR until our winter conditions.
Bilt Hamber - it just works.
During the dilution calculation stage, how did you measure that you'd used 12000 litres of mains water to use up the 1 litre in the bottle?
Hi there, I had a 15 Litre bucket
12,000 litres? That's 12 tonnes. Are you sure about that?
I think the issue is 1000ml bottle and the flow rate in litres. It would be 12L or 12,000ml.
That means that you would have filled your 15L bucket 800 times
And 4% of 12,000 litres is 480 litres. That lance would need a few of us to lift it. 🤣
At the beginning you said you needed 480ML of product, was that correct?
For my flow rate yes that is correct
If leaving as it is you would need to remove the water with a leaf blower or dedicated car dryer, unless you like water marks all over your car
of course :)
I just bought some of the new formula. But unfortunately, getting this stuff in the United States is very expensive. Just 1 L costs $37 including shipping. If anybody knows where to get it cheaper let me know.
480ml of product it’s allot , it’s like 11 uses(2£ per use) from 5 litre.
Strictly speaking it isnt. You should be able to coat a with 200-300ml of solution so that 480ml ends up between 120-160ml per wash with the biggest difference here being the foam actually works very well unlike the rest of the market.
Also you don't need to use 4% every time, only on extremely dirty cars. Maintaining your car every 1-2 weeks, 1-2% PIR is plenty.
Another way to use it would be 2-4% in an ik (or garden) sprayer. That equates to 20-40ml which is so economical. If you have one, give it a go and be amazed at the results. This approach works for surfex and is my preferred product in winter. One day I may try 2% of each as an experiment.
@@pigeonpoo1823 I have, it gives the best of both worlds with bilt hamber tackling the dirt & surfex working on any greasy traffic film.
Hello, the new MJJC Snow Foam Shampoo have released,may I know if you like to review it?Thanks!
I will reply to your mail :)
OK,thanks so much@@ZER0Y0N
really kind of you to wash your sisters car.
Thank you for noticing! It's important to show appreciation to our loved ones.
Have you ever driven one? Fantastic car!
They never do, just act gobby. Much prefer it to my supra it’s so much fun
Was the hairdresser who owns the car pleased with the result?
Very pleased! Did a good job didn’t it? 😊
That's way too much Bilt Hamer !!!! you only need 20ml per litre and that will do 2 washes. 480ml is way too much
It literally cannot be too much bilt hamber as that’s using the correct PIR ratio :)
You’re not confusing it with the car wash are you ?
The car is still bogging after rinsing off the snowfoam and we can see it when you rub your fingers over the paintwork. Do the same process on a dark grey or black car and leave it to dry after the rinse off and you will see this product does sod all.
I think you have the wrong idea behind a snowfoam, it’s a prewash designed to soften and loosen dirt reducing the chance of scratching during the contact wash. It’s not supposed to be perfectly clean after this
Bog all ?
You must be trolling son, it removed 95% of the dirt on the car.
Seriously, if you have no idea about detailing or even valeting, it's best not to say anything at all.
I've tried this stuff its definitely the worst snowfoam I've ever used
Must be using it wrong
Good video, horrible music ruins it.
I don’t particularly like the music either but but 99% of people don’t wanna watch a jet wash with no music
Did your 17 year old daughter appreciate you washing her car?
Awww bless you, couldn’t think of your own jokes sweetheart 😘
I've tried several snow foams and I can honestly say this is the worst one I've used
At what dilution ratio? I’ve never come across a better foam than this the car is pretty much clean after it
As an ex-valeter and have been into detailing for decades, I have tried dozens, and BH auto foam (very similar to this) is the best available.
Touchless is slightly kinder to paint protection having a ph value of 11, auto foam has a ph of 12. Both are just as good at dissolving dirt.
Rule Number 1, never use a mains powered pressure washer directly on the paintwork of your car😮
What, like thousands of professional valeters and detailing specialists do every day you mean ?
Are you a bit thick son ?? You do know you can vary the pressure of these machines don't you ?????
A Karcher K4 isn't the most powerful even on full, it wont do any harm to any car paintwork, unless the paint is flaking/peeling off and the jet gets underneath it.
