I will be using them all on 3 vehicles this weekend a DAF HGV, an Audi A4 2004 that’s been sat for a year and has some lovely green mold all over it and my wife’s fiat 500 that is very clean. The DAF is filthy as hell so I can test this.

      Doesn't look like there's much protection on the car at all XD. Sahara dust will readily come off with just water. Heck the whole reason it's deposited so heavily in the first place is because it's in the rain. Since my car is so hydrophobic, I get tons of tiny Sahara dust dots on the surface instead haha. If it's raining again and I go for a drive and on the way back the rain stops and the sun comes out, most of the dust is cleansed off by the rain and the wind blowing the rain off with the dissolved dust inside it. That dust is great for the soil btw, full of micronutrients for plants!

  • @colingoode3702
    @colingoode3702 Před 2 lety +6

    Keep them coming Jon 👍. Because of the dust, Sahara sand & lack of rain I'm washing our cars 1-2 times a week at the moment! My BH Auto Foam is about run out after which I will switch to Touchless. Interested to see if it as good as everyone has been saying. I find that once the car is properly cleaned & waxed a BH foam wash & rinse is all that's needed to keep on top of it until another more detailed wash / wax is needed (every 8-10 washes). My estate car is metallic black & a real pain to keep looking at it's best. I've also been trying out Demon Shine sprayed on neat as drying aid. Seems to do a reasonable job & extends the time between waxes by adding another layer of protection. I also need to tackle some scratches on the roof left by the previous owner so any cosmetic scratch repair tips you could offer would be great.

      Hi ya , after reading your message, I totally agree, the sandy crap on your car can do sooooo much damage. I use Gyeon WetCoat once a month & I find my paintwork stays very slick. Nothing sticks to it, & it’s SO protected against everything. Gyeon products are absolutely amazing, & I’ve tried a few other over the years.
      As for your scratches, you might want to go see a bodyshop. Depending on how deep they are, you might be able to ‘flat & polish’ then out. If not, at best they will improve them without going through the paint. Always ask the B/shop first though. Good luck.

    I've been using the BH Snow Foam and it does leave a little film, but when you do the hand wash, there is barely any dirt coming off into the wash mitt. The rinse bucket stays clean. I am even thinking I can wash the car a few times with the same mitt prior to throwing it into the laundry.

  • @readerj01
    @readerj01 Před 2 lety +4

    We had our third "desert storm" attack last week and as I'm relatively new to snow foaming I thought this would be a great test. I use the Autoglym range of products and I found the Polar Blast ideal for removing the sand prior to contact wash. I suppose it is possible to remove the sand just by jetting but I figured that the more gentle application of Pre wash via the snow foam lance would be safer to apply before hitting it with the jet washer. Results were pretty effective and I was more than satisfied to go ahead with a contact wash after fully rinsing down the Polar Blast.

    • @Niko-xz5lk
      @Niko-xz5lk Před rokem

      I think Polar Blast is an underrated product. Unfortunately it gets a pass by most detailers just because it's AG. It's a good snowfoam, PH neutral, and removes a lot of surface contaminants prior to contact washing. It's not as powerful as BH, but it's also more gentle on your LSP than BH. Shame it doesn't come in 5 litre bottles.

  • @johnmandragon4830

    Was using Polar Blast, switched over to BH Touchless once my last bottle ran out, based on your videos and it’s been great!
    Had some success just doing two washes with Touchless, leaf blower to remove most the water. then a detail spray with a micro fibre to finish off. Hopefully that doesn’t cross too many detailing boundaries 😂

    • @Niko-xz5lk
      @Niko-xz5lk Před rokem +1

      Pretty good technique if the car isn't too dirty and the paint is well protected. I tend to use a snowfoam, rinse, and then a waterless wash & wax spray while the car is still wet. A cheaper way is to use a Rinseless wash like ONR or P&S Absolute, mixed up in a spray bottle after snowfoaming and wipe away with a rag. You can even do it the way you already are and make your own detailer with the rinseless - much cheaper!

  • @hector8147

  • @79blustone
    @79blustone Před 2 lety +2

    Jon leads the way in prewashing a car 👍. Minimising the swirls and marring by this method might even result in a more basic hand polish and target specific areas rather then keep cutting back lacquer across the whole car? 🤷

  • @bigblackshed639
    @bigblackshed639 Před 2 lety

    I’ve scaled back the Touch-Less PIR to 2% now we’ve seen the worst of the winter filth. Autowash contact wash, followed by Touch-On through a CCC foam lance. Thorough rinse and towel dry. The beading on from the Touch-On is way beyond expectations, silky smooth paint, and it helps on the next wash.
    Touch-Less on the sandy dirt is phenomenal, but I think Autofoam has the edge on oily road film.

    I generally keep on top of things and gave the car a foam (mainly for a bit of dust), followed by a thorough rinse and 'gorilla towel' dried. Car looked good, even stuck on some soft99.

    The sand on the car wasn’t dried on road film but loose sand simply laying on the car. The pre wash doesn’t really have any work to do. The removal of the sand surely was done with the pressure of the water alone…..(just letting the lance run through on the floor until empty seemed really wasteful and pointless - keep it for next time surely?)

    So I am following a few of the car detailing channels and some say you shouldn't apply snow foam in direct sunlight. Is this something you agree? I assume that you did this short cleaning during the earliest of day right? Just to avoid the sun from heating up the car's surface, and secondly burning in on the applied product. That being asked, thanks for the great video!

  • @simshogun2240

    John, when you connect the water hose to the jetwash pull the trigger to bleed all the air out of the machine and lance before you switch it on as the motor is watercooled and full of air and and the surging is the motor running off load and without cooling water and getting very hot.

    The sand / dust leaves a ‘oily’ film that is very hard to get off with normal car shampoo and if left stains light colored paints especially white that need a full cut to remove… some cars needed to be repainted!

    What would have been a great test is half the car in BH touchless and the other half sprayed from pressure sprayer with ONR, then pressure washed off and allowed to air dry. This would have shown the effect of both products on the sand. Both products claim to break the bond of dirt. ONR is claimed to encapsulate and breakdown particles, so in theory would take off the sand when pressure washed. Love both products and regularly use both, finding BH Touch-on gives better results each time it's used and especially when I use Optimum gloss enhancer as a drying aid. Keep up the great work.

    Thank you on your experience with dilution ratios. The website says a maximum of 5% but at that level it may as well just be used neat. I was concerned with the cost per wash as I have only used it once so far, and at 5% each wash would get quite costly and not really be worthwhile.

      I think he meant the total amount of solution in the lance. I have a large estate car (wagon if you're in the US) and that uses up about 300-400ml total from the lance bottle, but I do apply sparingly. Perhaps 500-600ml for an SUV or very large car?
      You can always fill the bottle up, do the wash , then subtract what is left to work out how much you used.

    Hello Jon, thank you for this great video and by the way your YT channel is fantastic. Can I just make a constructive point, and please don't be offended by this; it's just a king suggestion. I made the same comment to other YT detailers like Harper's car detailing.
    Here's the point : you have become a reference in the detailing word. Every video you post makes tens of thousands of views. You have quarter of a million followers. You've got a dream car which is the M4 CS. You have a large garage with state-of-the-art detailing equipment.
    Despite all of that, it seems you don't spend one penny for everything related to "video" material : at least a good microphone, a go-pro cam, a tripod camera,... For example, in this video, we can see you holding the camera (shaking) with one hand while holding the hose with the other.
    Would this not be the minimum for a YT channel of such scope ?
