Do you guys recommend pre washing first with plain water? Like I know this video was exaggerated, but would you usually recommend getting off as much dirt as possible before adding the soap, or is there something with the reaction that NEEDS dirt?
You know, we have never been asked this question, but it actually is an important one! We do recommend pre-rinsing large chunks of dirt off before starting, BUT you shouldn't have to pre-rinse the entire surface. Contrary to popular belief, pre-rinsing the entire surface actually adds another barrier for the chemicals to penetrate. So, the soap has to get through the water to get to the dirt, which results in the mixture that interacts with the dirt being more watered down. What is supposed to happen is this: You foam the step 1 on and let that sit for a minute or two, then foam the step 2 over top. The chemical reaction of the two soaps reacting actually breaks the surface tension that makes the dirt stick to your painted surface. Breaking that surface tension is what allows the pressure washer to rinse it off more easily. So you actually want the soaps to make direct contact with that dirt. This was realistically only 1 week worth of grime from winter driving up here in Michigan. We recommend washing with touchless soaps at least once a week, but preferably twice or more per week during the winter when you need to neutralize that road salt before it corrodes. On show trucks, we would wash them every day they come in off the road with touchless soaps. If the vehicle hasn't been washed in longer than a week, you're probably going to want to brush it. ONE LAST POINT: If you keep your vehicle protected with a wax coating (or something like our foam-on wax replacement), you can get good results with a touchless wash less even if it's been longer than a week. There are a LOT of factors that go into getting good results from a touchless wash. So if you ever have questions, hit us up on social media @washproduct and we can help you out no problem. We have all sorts of solutions to issues we've run into over the years. Sorry for the long winded response, but hopefully others find this educational as well! Cheers!
Touchless 1 (step 1) Touchless 2 (step 2). Wax Replacement is not a cleaning chemical it is a foam-on/rinse-off protectant that you should apply when your vehicle is 100% clean. Like after a brush wash, for example.
We use cold water, however you could use these products with hot water as long as the water isn't heated beyond 130 degrees. At about 130/140 degrees, the effectiveness of soaps starts to degrade. Yes, we offer bulk pricing that does give you a discount per gallon. When buying as a gallon: $45/gallon When buying as a 5 gallon: $42/gallon When buying as a 55 gallon drum: $38.09/gallon We also pay for $50 worth of shipping on drums. If you order 4 drums of any of our products, we cover $250 of shipping for the skid. You can get up to 5 gallon containers of the touchless on our website. For drum orders, please call us at 616-777-7175 or email us at help@washproduct.com
@stevejoyce4485 This product pairs great with ceramic coatings. Especially because you are not using any physical abrasion besides your pressure washer.
Game changer yet again.. Well as u saw my post with using the Degreaser, truck wash or wash and wax soap then applying the invisishield.. on ig Njdurango_rt19 or on ig carsmatic.autodetailing I've posted before and after results.. U will need to send me this to see how this truly works.. U know I'm a true supporter of ur products.. all my customers love the results..
At this time, we only offer them in gallons. However, if you use code NOTOUCH20 before the sale ends at midnight tonight, it'll only be $72 instead of $89.99. We may offer different sizes in the future.
I can't wait to use it.
Thanks Jeff! Let us know what you think once you give it a shot.
TYVM Boss 💯👀😎👍👍👍

Is this even clear coat safe?
It sure is!
What is the step 2 called? I just bought yall Wax Replacement.
And do I need that in order for it to work to wash my Lexus car?
Touchless 1 (step 1) Touchless 2 (step 2). Wax Replacement is not a cleaning chemical it is a foam-on/rinse-off protectant that you should apply when your vehicle is 100% clean. Like after a brush wash, for example.
I live in south Australia, do you have an outlet in Australia?
Not yet! But some day!
Are y’all using a hot water pressure washer? If bought in quantity, any kind of discounts?

So you can’t use this on a ceramic coated car?

What setting are you using for the foam cannon? The top dial where is it set at all the way zero?
Somewhere between all the way down to 0 and 50%
How much rinse pressure are you using?
It's a 2300 PSI unit.

Im kind of skeptical on touchless washes do you sell the product on smaller quantities like 16 ounce bottles? Can you sell me a small samples?

Do you use hard water?
In this video we did indeed use hard water.
How much so do you put on each cannon
1 part soap to 3 parts water.
A lot of water man
