Bilt Hamber Touchless V2 is the best pre-wash I’ve used to date. I test hundreds and this is the current winner with excellent dilution ratios. Very economical
@ yes I stand by it. Garage Therapy Zero Decon held the top spot for a while. Koch Chemie VB is another Shiny garage citrus oil Stjarnagloss Forst excellent but expensive being RTU. TRADE range coming from them next week I believe.
Surfex HD a is top quality APC but I personally wouldn't use that on the paint for a maintenance wash. It's great for wheels but Auto Foam or Touchless are better everyday pre-washes IMO.
@alpat1735 surfex is super safe on the paint mate, caustic free, anti corrosion inhibitors, biodegradable etc, I use this daily as a pre wash on all exterior surfaces including chrome's etc..... but each to there own I suppose
@thomascrowe3161 Now I've never tried it because of the price. However, saying that if it's the dogs, then why not. If your comment gets the most likes let's go for it Tom
@thomascrowe3161 the things is with forst x, is its not dilutable, (or may be 1-1). I find if you use any other product out there neat or 1-1 it would clean just as well if not better. In the trade products like that won't even do 2 cars. And the price for a per made product is wild. I wouldn't even pay that for a 20-1 prewash
I'm using Autoglanz tfr as a pre wash. At 1/50 for normal soiling, 1/25 for motorway cars. Works well for me. I'd say about 80-90% road film and grime removed. Then a wash with bilt hamber auto wash. I'll upgrade to touchless when I have the budget.
Yum car care citrus pre wash 100% I’ve used a lot and this is the only one I’ve found that works, smells nice as well added bonus and use raw ingredients
Another one for Bilt Hamber TouchLess, i think they're on V3 now, used to be a snowfoam/prewash sceptic but this stuff is brilliant, it's nice when something that's hyped to death actually works!!!
Another +1 for bilt hamber TL or Autofoam used in a pump sprayer (not foamer). I'm sure some tfr's are stronger but no caustic products go near my car. You, being a pro, may feel they're worth having in your arsenal.
I use bilt hamber touch less snow foam V2 its the best i have found also bilt hamber surfex hd its not exspensive either, give them a try James you got nothing to loose, Happy Washing...!
Always love your content James, love the Glam rock eye make up btw hehe My go to Pre wash after trying a good few, is Autobrites Citrus Prewash and after a couple of mins dwell time i then cover with a pre wash foam (Duels or Autobrites). - Also what was the Chem you brushed on the steering wheel that foamed slightly. Great Camera work and editing Elliot.
@wayne2socialmedia I could say with was some dirt or my kid attacking me with a toy maraca. I'll let you decide 🤣 On the steering wheel kotch chemie green start apc 20/1 ish
i use dragons blood for my wheels, cleaned the car about 2 weeks ago, not cleaned in a month. Snow foamed, still crap on it, used Dragons blood on the paint work, 2 mins dwell, snow again, came up nice, ready for the contact wash
Not sure the perfect pre wash does exist tbh… at least not at the moment .Infinity wax citrus wash and Bilt hammer touchless v2 and surfex are very good though. I was also impressed with Jenny chem snowstorm tfr,I use it in the winter as a quick touch less wash . Happy New Year and keep up the good work !
Enjoy your vlog, particularly like your style of presenting. As for the product removing 80% seems good, not sure there is anything that will take off 100% apart from paint stripper.
Id bet a strong cleaning rinseless could do pretty well in a test, try koch chemie RRW or wolfgang, at least do just as well, but diluted 256:1 so maybe cheaper....or bilt hamber touchless
My son is starting his car cleaning business so I am trying to learn as much as I can to help him . Can I ask where did you learn your trade ? or maybe there is a coarse you can point me to ?
I agree, even if it's only a couple days get some training booked. Personally I had a brilliant guy called Ciaran at Obsessed Car Detailing down in Oxford, then Nathan at Function & Form also James at Wax & Away for a day. I'm thinking about jumping on another course myself because it's good to at least try and keep upto date.
@@damienlove2003 I use yum cars wheel foam, detailer, ceramic sealant foam + and interior cleaner. They are pretty decent. Their interior cleaner has a strong minty humbug smell I find though
Labocosmetica Primus 2.0 ph11 Can be used as foam, sprayer and in Bucket. This the best one for me. Non caustic !!!! It got VDA certification. 1-40 in sprayer. 1-20 on really dirty areas.

@ loving your videos keep it up, yeah autosmart is mainly used in the trade I’m a valeter at a dealership have been for over 10years. Been using autosmart stuff on and off over the years always keep going back there products are really good just not many people have used them. Could possibly send you some bits if you wanted

Yep BH touch less class off its own, better in a sprayer than a foam cannon in my view 😊
@ yes agreed 👍 for double dirty apply via a pump sprayer and layer Snow foam over the top whet a combo which works together obviously together 👌👍
Bilt hamber surfex hd is my go to pre wash atm. Hard to be at £16 for 5 litre. 1-10 for an amazing pre wash

@@vulpixdetailingCertainly worth a try. It is very expensive but worth every penny in my opinion.

Cool, the comment with the most likes will be filmed 👍
i was actually going to say that, thas the one i use mostly!
@Filipe_Marques_ happy days 😀
Agreed, this is what i use, with sugar-based Power Foam over the top of Citrus to improve dwell/clean time.
Yum car care citrus pre wash 100% I’ve used a lot and this is the only one I’ve found that works, smells nice as well added bonus and use raw ingredients
Do you dilute the Yum Citrus? Because as a ready to use product it’s not cost effective whatsoever.
@ yes mate 10-1
Thanks for the tip!
GT Citrus and Bilt Hamber Auto Foam layered on it is my go to .
This is what I'm thinking Infinity wax citrus, then layer over with BH snowfoam. What do you think?
