    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.

      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!

    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?)

    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 Год назад

      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.

    All I’ve found needed to remove this dust (and the spring pollen) is a good pressure wash rinse having already had a good wax on the car. Snow foam seems much more useful on the winter grime. Can’t harm to prewash with foam of course.

      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!

    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.

  • @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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

Essentially every pressure washer and output is different, so it’s a way of you measuring out the correct amount of soap to water, for your setup. Bilt hamber does require a high amount of soap to water, compared to other brands, which like to say 1:10 ratio.

      @@Shusein I'm well aware of snow foam dilution vs PIR. But other companies states 1:10 simply because they know that will be enough once gone through any pressure washer (high or low flow) in order to perform well. BH requires 5% PIR which is a ridiculous amount of products once it goes through any pressure washer. As you can see Jon used 250ml to 400ml of water for his medium flowing Karcher k7 I believe. That amount of product is ridiculous and is probably the reason why it's cheap.
