In Sweden during the winter we use petroleum degreaser (I suppose it is an TFR) during to remove salt and oil based dirt. It is only applied from the handles and down. And after that we use a prewash.
What would you use to clean a Transport Trailer? I have a Brian James T6 Transporter, which is Galvanised Steel, so need to take of that but needs to be strong enough to remove road grime, which tends to stick to Galvanised Steel
Probably best 50 50 mix so safer, use to use near espuma non caustic tfr and works wonders on motorbike wheels chains greased up and car wheels but probably best mixing 50 water 50 tfr as hard being fast cleaning before it drys, also wetting vehicle may help keeping it on longer before washing off
Good video! TFR isn't a product to make mistakes with that's for sure. I used it today and my own car, but only because it had covered 2k miles in the last 8 days, in a heatwave, while being parked under trees on a farm when it wasn't on the road. Every surface was covered in baked on bugs, farm mud, tree sap, bird droppings & general filth. Not really a good state. In this case, citrus prewash wouldn't have cut it, so I cracked out the advanced TFR. As he said, it's not a product to jump into if you don't understand what you are doing. It's nasty, caustic, damaging stuff that can be safe and efficient but only if used in specific circumstances. Don't put it on your car on a regular basis, don't under dilute and don't let it dry on. Be very mindful about using it on any delicate surface too, it may not end well.
would traffic film remover be good to clean out wheel arches? im gonna take my wheels off and clean out all the arches cos they're caked in dirt and mud
TFR is perfect for wheel arches! Use it often as they can get pretty dirty, I would blast the worst of the loose stuff off first though, then the chemical can work on the stuck on stuff that water can't cut through.
There’s lots of TFR that are not caustic and even some are ph neutral and not all are harsh , autoglym do one that’s suitable for exterior and interior, there’s even snow foams and citrus pre washes that are called TFR, anything that can remove traffic film can be a TFR wether it’s a snow foam or citrus pre wash
Over 100! 🍾 Never mind tea, get the 100 sub special online!!!!😲 TFR, yep I use on fleet vehicles like vans that are extremely dirty, winter motorway grime etc. Most of my work is citrus or snow. Great vid mate👍
Miles Drive Not quite finished yet! Need to get a few more bits together, but yeah I agree mate, bit of an old fashioned product now I'd say, Citrus and Snow definitely my go to. TFR can be useful for under bonnet areas though if they're really bad, but a good APC will do the same job and I like products with multiple uses, take up less room then and you're not juggling loads of bottles and containers, thanks for watching as always :)
Paul Dolden Details I totally agree mate, TFR is very much a trade product that detailers don't tend to use really. My valeting days I used it quite a bit but you should have seen the state of some of the cars! Good for fleet work in my experience. But now I do prefer the gentler approach with Citrus based products as they're a lot more forgiving in hot weather (Which we don't tend to get very often over here)
I think what he’s trying to say is that people use basic soaps (P&S car shampoo for example) as a method of prewash. He’s trying to say that he doesn’t use soaps as dedicated prewash tools but to use something that would be dedicated for a pre wash. He suggested degreasers but didn’t say to use only degreasers. There are dedicated pre wash soaps like Gtechniq’s Citrus foam or Ethos Care Care’s foam party. Both can be used as prewash sops dedicated to breaking down the dirt and grime. Y’all take it to serious
Even now Josh when you can buy " non caustic " tfr....i still would not use it..i would rather make up some citrus pre wash mixed with a bit of snow foam to make it cling a bit longer..or use some surfex hd diluted into the 360 bottle and let that have a few mins ti bite into the crap then power wash it off....cheers as always..rich.
Thanks for the comment Rich I try to stay away from the archives of my old videos as I notice how poor they were! Haha but yeah I don't see the need for TFR's anymore when there are other capable products out there that are safer to use and generally just as good at removing crap if used correctly, surfex HD being one of course.
Sorry mate but this is nonsense. A quick look at the MSDS for many citrus pre wash products will show you that there is little difference in them and a good quality TFR. Look at the PH of the citrus pre washes and ask yourself how they achieve such alkalinity. TFR is a very broad term and can mean anything from an aggressive degreaser designed for washing fleets of vans or trucks to a more gentle product suitable for prestige vehicles with delicate trims. Not all TFR's are the aggressive cleaner that you make them out to be. The TFR used in hand car washes is usually the cheapest they can get their hands on and cheap TFR means the more expensive surfactants removed and replaced with more sodium hydrpxide which is what stains the trim.
are you the guy out of the video where he over takes his dad in the tractor
0:09 do you let out a little fart as you lean forward and say put the kettle on? haha

What ratio do you mix the tfr when you put it in the Lance to spray it ?
Mine says 40 to 1 but is that when in a pressure washer tank ?
Thanks Joe.
Great video. Will TFR strip any waxes and sealants you have on the car?
Yes will strip dirt, grime, Polish and wax
Thanks this is the question and answer i was looking for thanks guys
How does the non caustic tfr compare to a caustic tfr 🤔
It's safer on plastic trims etc but can be just as effective 👍🏼

Thanks for a great video. Just saved my Ceramic Coating!
TFR was probably used by the local car wash place I went to - 2 months later the brake caliper and brake hub started to rust...
@cwmprysor
What was the product that caused tyre cracking.
Good video!

Thank you
Do I buy non caustic? Is that better? I'm trying to set up my own detailing/valeting business and just looking for advice on products
How's the detailing business going?
Very informative 👍🏻
Love the fart haha 😄
Great video 🇬🇧👍🏻

Hotchkiss Performance thanks for the reply, just got a bottle of it today so gonna give it a go on my car with the wheels off :)

now i understand what a tfr is, i will stick with citrus and/or snow foam. cheers
Cleaning a dirty engine tfr is the job

Citrus every time Josh although I've reviewed TFR before the powermaxed one I'm still very sceptical about the products for the hobby detailer 👍🏻
