Can we take a second and admire the quality of Sandro’s videography and editing? Aside from being a phenomenal detailer, the videos are stunning
I don’t have a car yet I find that I am addicted to these videos…they are so relaxing. Am I weird?
Sandro, I love how you always say, "I really hope you guys enjoyed" the video -- as if we ever don't!
By the way, you might want to blur your license plate :) Unless you want to be swarmed by fans, of course (Oh, I know you do)!
Sandro, it's your narration, tips, tricks that makes the video - there's snow foaming, then there's M&S snowfoaming!
Rosso Competizione looks great on the Giulietta. This video reminded me that I need to clean mine 😂
I'm glad I watched this video as I already ordered Lift and would've misused it as a every other week pre-wash. I see using this on my DD once a month. Thank you for a solid, no BS review👍👍
What I can say? I have been looking for reviews several months now and was not able to find what I want. And what we have here: I got all the questions answered and even more!!! Great job Sandro, as usual. The info is on such a level I have nothing extra to ask, even from craziest thoughts or tries. Thanks indeed man!
Thank You! This is exactly the info about the product I have been wanting. Seems this would be good to have around. The Daily Drivers that get grubby after trips in the rain.
Love the choice of music at the end mate.
He has excellent taste in music, which is why I was so happy when he started providing a list of tracks in his description.
@@TheVetusMores Agreed downloaded many tracks.
As always mate,great video. And that video specifically is why I don’t miss your videos. Because you not just detailing cars but you really going behind the ingredients and techniques and situations of environments and car colours. Thank you! Looking forward for next video🙏
Oh man... that cheapy bunnings measuring cup! Personal favourite of mine 😂
Great video dude 👍 hope all is well with the new lockdown
Good video Sandro. You answered my question in the video comparing with NV Snow+. Stay safe to All Victorians during this latest lockdown. Ozz
The Quality of your Videos is insane! there is so much work that you put into them!! This channel can't be compared to any other ;)
Awesome, been waiting for a good professional review of lift for some time now. 👍
Been waiting for weeks for a review of this stuff!! Thanks
Fully enjoy your video production AND your impressive insight!
Thank you Sandro, brilliant as always. Doing my first ceramic car coat today, so thank you for all your amazing knowledge. It’s appreciated more than words can say 😃🇦🇺❤️👍🙌
Great review as usual Sandro, can’t go too wrong with CarPro. I think people expect too much from a snow foam, as if after a rinse off the car will look like it’s had a 2 bucket wash. I find Snow+ and Reset are still my go to foam and wash products.
works perfectly..been using it for 1 month n loving it so far
Thanks for sharing!
Damn did you detail the street too? It's so clean!
Very useful video! Exactly the answers I was looking for on this product. 🙂
Another great video and content Sandro! Thanks!
Take care!
I’ve had it for a few months now here in the us..I love it.. can deff tell a big difference on how easy dirt comes off with the pressure washer when you use it..btw in the us lift in gallon for is the same as reset
Thanks for sharing that!
💪thanks! Like so much carpro Perl so 1000ml of Lift will arrive in two days
Great Video Sandro!! Great music too !!
Can't wait to try Lift and the Dehydrate towels work very well 👌🏽.
I've been foaming my car with 60ml Lift + 60ml Reset + 800ml water. I follow up with a hand wash using Reset. The results are rather good.
Dear maestro: Good video!!! Carpro products are very expensive here and those are not easy to find localy. We can find just a few products of comercial brands as Turtlewax, Maguires, Smart and lately Chemical guys but that's it; anyway I always implement your tips and techniques.
Love that music at the end of the video.
Greetings from Monterrey, México.
PD: Almost 150K, good trend!!!
Your car came up beautifully Sandro!
Another excellent product review Sandro 😊👍🏻
*You can never go wrong with any product from Carpro, but Bilt Hamber Touch-less Snow Foam prewash is slightly more effective IMHO.*
Nice video again Sandro. For reference, 500ml of Lift here in the UK is £7.68 inc VAT. I guess 1L will be about £14 which is similar to other 1L snowfoams, so it seems to be well priced (without taking dilution/concentration into account)
Great review. I have been playing around with it as well. Seems to do its designated job just fine. I also measured the pH and provided similar results.
Thanks Mike, and great to hear mate!
love your videos and i love car pro
I love your videos, thank you …
Great job 👏. Love the review. Sorry for the delay been very busy 😅. Anyways it's hard to beat reset. The versatility of reset and lubricating ability is hard to match. I understand the purpose of lift but I've found reset works just as well. Keep up the good work 👍
You can use this every week as well as combined it with reset. It's safe on ceramic coating. I don't put wax on so I don't have to worry about it breaking it down. If you use turtle Wax seal and shine it's perfectly safe and does not break it down. Good video man 👍

Thanks for the video, Sandro! Been anticipating this review. I finally managed to pick up Lift locally, and I've definitely liked it! I used it a few weeks ago on my car, foaming and letting it dwell for several minutes. It ate all of the filth off, from the Canadian winter - all the salt build-up and sand was pulled off the car and was trapped in the foam on the driveway. Only had to do a light hand wash afterwards with Reset! That said, the car is coated with CQuartz UK and CQuartz TiO2. Will definitely purchase more in the future.
Thanks mate, and thanks for sharing your experience with it!
Not to be confused with the drink "Lift".
Nice video uncle Sandro!
Great as always. Thank you
I really love carpro lift I’ve been using it for about a month in my foam canon and in my wash bucket I have carpro reset with a little bit of multi X and makes the washing experience a breeze. Great video and very informative.
Thanks and thanks for sharing
Great to learn about this product. Thanks Sandro!
Great Job sandro your the man!
Another great video! Also, thanks for the lesson on using the water flow valve on the foam lance. I thought my snow foam wouldn't 'stick' to vertical surfaces due to the ceramic coating, I'll try playing with the valve next time I use the foam lance.
Great review sandro
Great vid again . Some info to think about it next time i use my foam cannon . Great job 👍
Thanks for that. Stumbled across it yesterday on the site and wondered if new or if I just overlooked it. Might have to test it out
Awesome review! Recently had my vehicle ceramic coated and have considered using Lift diluted and paired with Mega Foam for lubrication/clinging for touchless washes as to remove breaking down traffic film while the high suds remove those contaminants from the vehicle. Figured since it'll be topped with Eagle One's Wipe and Shine, the quick detailer will act as a sacrificial layer to the coating in case Lift does manage to break it down the next time it's washed. As for contact washes, will use that combo for presoak and Reset + Mega Foam for the contact wash to minimize chances of swirling. In theory, it makes sense to me; hopefully it works as well as I think it should.
This 1:10, 1:15 dilution ratio is just pot luck. It may foam loads but is it cleaning fully! I’m sure it does loosen dirt somewhat but what PIR does the product need to be fully effective!? - how much of the dirt and grime being removed is from the pressure from the pressure washer? Bilt Hamber AutoFoam needs a very low 4% PIR to be fully effective but that still equates to around 480ml of product in a 1 litre foam canon due to flow rates! V-Project UK’ has an excellent video on PIR! Well worth a watch ... I learnt so much from it
Informative & useful content as always.
Thanks for the video Sandro.
Not sure this will make me switch any time soon.
For pure cleaning ability I have yet to find ANY snow foams better than Bilt Hamber Auto Foam and Autobrite Direct Magifoam.
With regards to a decontamination wash, Garage Therapy Decon is my favorite.
Great video, Sandro👍
Nice information Sandro thanks.
Like You said, hard to make a review on such products ! But Your informations are Excellent ! i use Poorboy's World Super Slick &Foam , and also find that it can remove waxes [not sealers]. i guess thats a common theme for pre-wash foam soap.! ThankYou!
Thanks mate, and I do fine car wash soaps one of the hardest things to test out! I’ve always had great results with almost every Poorboy’s product I’ve used, it is a great overall brand!
Hello Sandro hope you are doing well…
This is a big mistake from me , thinking the shampoo is not working properly but I can realize till now that i was using the foam incorrectly, I can level the amount of foam that is coming from the cannon , thank you for your video .
another great video
Been waiting for this one! Thanks for the review. Surprised you didn’t try it on your coated cars and include your thoughts on that. I dunno if it’s foolish but I was hoping that Lift could be a pre soak foam that made the wash step even safer and more effective for coated cars.
I was looking at Lift and or one of Bilt Hambers two snow foams for this purpose. My suspicion is their new “sugar” based formula was designed for use with ceramic based protection. Since it seems to be compatible with their ceramic booster packet.
You can absolutely use it for coated cars, I did test it on quite a few, and I saw no evidence that it was harming the coatings in anyway. It’s just more of a matter of using it as needed rather than always using it, at least for me.
Loving the VZR!
6:19 I've got that same 250ml measuring cup from Bunnings. Am I a detailer now?
I loved my chinese one 😺
Yes, fully certified!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing awesome I'll specialise in Shine Armor installs.
Would be interesting to see how this compares to the new Red Snow Job? coming out from Bowdens given price consideration
Always loved the giulietta wheels
thank you i been looking a new decon snow fome
Hi sandro, im hafiz from Malaysia.. great review.. I've been using lift quite sometime now..
My thoughts on carpro lift.. i think its really effective to lift n remove dirt & grime at prewash stage.. some of the best prewash shampoo I've tested..
Keep producing content like this, as a weekend warrior, i like to see this type of content as guidance about which product to choose.. thanks man! 😁👍🏻
I appreciate that and thanks for sharing your experience with it!
I’m in the store...I have CarPro Lift in one hand and NV Snow+ in the other...which one do I walk out with? 😏😁 Great video Sandro! Appreciate your time and effort in bringing us these videos. Have a great day mate! ✌🏾
Both 😂
Thanks mate, and you walk out with whichever one you haven’t tried yet lol!
Rosso competizione looks so good when taken care of 😍
What snow foam do you recommend for routine cleaning?
I use both Nv Snow and CarPro Reset
Flawless as allways :)
All those citrus and none citrus prewashes are very popular in Europe - but better results are not as foam but in hand pressure sprayer as a liquid solution.
Another cracking video Sandro. Awesome as always. I’ve been adding 100ml Lift to my foam fun as well for increased washing ability. I find it works pretty well. Not as aggressive as TFR or adding APC to foamer. But a safer and nearly as effective method.
I have also been using Koch Chemie Green Star with excellent results
Thanks mate and thanks for sharing that!
My go to for a stronger foam has been Angelwax FastFoam. I’m curious to see how Lift compares
Same!!
Great video Sandro. Question, do you think lift, or even NV snow + would work as a touchless wash for lightly dirty vehicles? Cars that are garaged and really only get a nice sunny day drive etc. Think Sydney weather
Thanks, and yes they can, but I would still tend to do a hand wash in between touchless washes and just be sure to avoid water spots with a good drying process and maybe a quick detailer to help the whole process out.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing legend. That's the plan. It's more when the car is just "dusty". I have also been using "throttle" and noticed a significant drop in dust that clings...for anyone wondering
Have you tried Bowden's "Strip Snow"? They add a bit of their APC into the mix. I've been using that when needed but CarPro Lift seems like a similar alternative. Awesome content and keep it up man.
Thanks, but no I haven’t
LIFT seems more suited to the European (UK) market where stronger prewash snow foams are more common as they throw salt onto their roads in winter.
I think you want acids for salt
you need to top up on hydro2 after this :)
I was gonna but Lift but I saw another vid where they used Lift to pre-foam a car that wasn't 2 cleaned for 2 months. Did nothing at all to the dirty car. Thoughts?
@Car Craft Auto Detailing Cool snow foam review,may I know if it's ok for you to review our snow foam shampoo?Thanks in advance!☺
I will really like to see a comparison between Lift and Bilt Hamber auto foam just to see which is better.
CarPro stuff is great. But it's really tough to beat Bilt Hamber. Especially at their prices.
If you guys talking about BH Auto Foam then its different product than Lift. BHAF its strictly foam to clean car without removing any wax or sealant . Lift however its more decontamination foam which remove wax and at list make harm on your sealant if not remove it as well . Compare this two its not good idea at all .
@@gorgiomarconi well that’s typical if you have a wax or sealant that has been deteriorating because of real world abuse or cause of neglect. Any non ph balanced soap will strip any old waxes and sealants but what I’m interested in knowing between both of these products is how well it can clean a dirty hammerd car without protection. I’m looking for something that could strip grime away since I’m trying to find something that will speed up my process and cause less damage to the clear coat. That way my business is more profitable and I get more jobs done in a timely manner my good friend.
@@GregoryVeizades that’s cool and all but understand this I live in the states and getting BH auto foam here cost me more because of how far it takes to get here. So at the end, in my situation CarPro Lift is actually cheaper for me to get since I don’t have to spend an arm or a leg for it to get on my front door.
@@gorgiomarconi I know BH claims it doesn’t hurt waxes and sealants but it definitely does weaken some sealants in my use. I think they are marketed in a similar way. A prewash foam.
I tried using Lift + Reset in a bucket and I think it did a very good job. But then it's very difficult to say how well it actually cleaned the cars paint because I get superb results with Reset alone. I wonder what's the most effective way to decontamination a cars exterior, as much as possible, using the bucket method (shampoo +?).
There’s always a balance that needs to be met as going too aggressive all the time can lead to paint and trim deterioration over time, so usually the least aggressive method that works is the best corse of action and sometimes that just a simple car was soap but other times it can be more aggressive acid or alkaline based cleaners used in conjunction.
Please do sonax evo ceramic coating sandroo... love your video as always....
Rare car, not many of these in Aus!
try bilt hamber auto foam very similar but cheaper and pir can be just 1%
Not in Australia. It’s not worth it in my eyes.
Autofoam also isn't a strip wash (is an amazing snow foam though) This carpro stuff is meant to be a strip wash. Garage Therapy Zero Decon is a top notch strip wash though 👍🏼
That outro felt very House of Cardsey.
Is this safe to use on PPF? I’m sorta seeing mixed messaging out there as to whether or not it is. Some say it is, but then I also get the impression that generally 7 ph is ideal/safe for PPF.
Most car cleaning chemicals and soaps including Lift are safe for PPF - Tar/adhesive/wax removers are the exception
Sandro so is the scent similar to Reset? What about putting some Reset with Lift when foaming have you tried that ? So would it be a good monthly wash for ceramic coated car? Have you tried any of the Labocosmetica products such as Primus and Purifica they are made in Italy?
Maybe a similar scent but still different. Yes I did try quite a few mixes in the foam lance and it works fine with Reset mixed in. I would use it as frequently as I needed on a ceramic coated car, it just that if you have a top coat sealant it make break that down, which is why I’d recommend using it just before you reapply something like Reload.
Yes I have tried quite a few of the Labocosmetica range including Primus and Purifica and my first impressions were quite good!
Please list the 3 best snow foams you use. Not in order but as a group in alfabetical order to keep you in the clear. ✝️👍😂
Lastly, thank you for your thoroughness in your reviews, they are simply the best.
The ones I use on a regular basis would just be Lift and Snow+ for decontamination washes and Reset and Snow for maintenance washes,
Thanks man I appreciate it!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing looks like this NV have interesting product , however i can't find out nowhere in Europe :( . At list CarPro are around any corner 😎
VZR! 😍😍
Coming soon ... 😮
If bucket washing, what ratio would you mix Lift and Reset into a bucket at?
50/50, or about 50ml of each in a large 20L bucket.
Sandro mate you the best as soon as i run out of the meguiars GOLD Class i will be buying it and also nova jet and maybe nova luster?
Can I only foam with life and following wash by hand without carpro reset?
No I wouldn’t say you only have to use them that way.
Sando, I'm curious to see if you are going to try Koch Chemie GSF.
I’ll certainly try to and I’m definitely open to it as is the case with many other brands!
Good day everyone, I was wondering if I can mix Carpro Lift and Carpro Reset in my foam gun to wash the vehicle?
Yes you can mix it if you wish 🙂
I don’t understand how these companies make a general recommendation of 1:10 in a foam lance. There is massive differences in pressure washer specs which will affect the outcome. PIR recommendation is very important, like Bilt Hamber.
99% of users will never calculate PIR but they still want a general recommendation, that’s pretty much why.
Great video!
Something I wanted to ask though since I saw you dry the paint at the end.
I use that drying towel as well but in my experience it leaves some streaks of water behind.
Is there an special trick to it? or is it the fact that this car is coated and it's easier to dry it?
The more hydrophobic your paint is the easier it will be to dry and tend to streak less because there’s less standing water to deal with. But a final wipe with a quick detailer and a couple of general microfibre cloth should sort out any streaks in the finish.
had buy lift but still waiting for weather to give me oppurnity to try it out, i feel like i wanna use every wash when i want to use detailer/sealant on my cquartz coated car.
Let know what you think once you try it!
Great video bro, I'm thinking of using Lift. But have you ever used a contactless wash like Wash Chems Pro-50? It has great reviews, basically just 'melts' dirt and traffic film right off the car. Says it's safe for ceramic coating and you can greatly dilute it to use on interior. I'd like to have a contactless wash....its designed for large commercial vehicles like 18 wheelers.
Thanks but no I’ve not use it, it would be great if it’s really safe and effective without the need to hand wash but it’s a big call and promise for any product to be that effective yet safe, but if it is thats fantastic and definitely worth a try!
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I think I'm going to buy some to test out. I probably would only use it on a coating that is a high quality professional grade. But their literature says it's fine for use with ceramic coats.
Let me know how it goes!
Does this product help good against bug guts?
Yes it can aid with bug splatter removal, but something like Carpro BugOut will be more effective as a pretreatment.
Nice review Sandro, was waiting for it since I already have a bottle delivered to prepare my son's car for a paint correction and ceramic coating but is it also safe for already CC coated cars?
Thanks and yes, if you’ve got a good ceramic coating on a car that’s been well applied, Lift is great to maintain it.
Great video and In depth explanation. Especially the ph test, however I saw another video of someone who tested the ph level once it was on the panel and it came up ph neutral. So is the product actually alkaline on the panel and is it really doing anything more than what reset does?
Thanks, and chemicals will react with whatever they come in contact with, so alkaline’s can be neutralised with acids and vice versa, but just because a chemical neutralises it doesn’t mean it hasn’t had an effect or done it’s job. A lot of information we get about certain chemicals is very misleading, so I don’t try to base my conclusions on that, I try to stick to what I’m best at which is evaluating results rather than chemistry.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I appreciate your answer, and it’s exactly why I watch your videos , wry informative and helpful. And what you said makes sense , thank you.
Does Carpro lift removes wax? I am using Gyeon Foam at the moment but why not to try something else, all tho its all same.. I use Carpro reset shampoo because it does not remove wax.
It will start to break down a wax and potentially remove it, but not always, it just depends on the wax and how well and how long ago it was applied.
Just curious how Lift compares with MultiX as a prewash? Just trying to figure out if 2 products is necessary or just MultiX is good enough with its versatility?
Muti-X is much stronger and won’t tend to provide much at all in the way of lubrication and won’t tend to dwell as long or as well. It doesn’t mean it can work as prewash, but you may need to play and experiment with it a bit to get there
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you for sharing your insight and experience 👍
