@pantheorganizer - you had done a past review of the Griot's Foaming Surface Wash and gave it a very high rating. How does that Griot's FSW compare to the Adams and Armour detail Supply?
Thanks for including us in the test, Pan! We will certainly try our best to reduce the cost over time as we grow. Shampoo+ specifically is an expensive product to manufacture, due to the type of surfactants we chose.
Please please please, don't change the formula because of cost... I think you and DIY detail are the top 2 brands setting the standard today. I understand the cost is a little higher but people shall pay more for better quality products. Keep it up!!!
Keep changing the game, I'm sure you guys will start to win a bigger and bigger market share! I can't wait to try your products after I run out of the supplies I have now.
I attended the Meguiars Detailing class for over 6 months and began using only Meguiars products up to 2012. I also began using some of the Mother's products. In 2023 I was reading about Turtle Wax products and never tried any Turtle Wax products until I saw Turtle Wax hybrid ceramic wash. I got hooked on this and still use it. It gives and fantastic shine. Later as it was not sold in auto part stores I had to order it thru Turtle Wax. But later on I got the urge to buy the Slick and slide. I no longer do detailing on customer vehicles as I turned 75 and it's a lot of work at my age, but I still do my family vehicles and only use the Turtle wax products. Keep up the great Info!!! Yanni
Super appreciate the love Pan!! We always key in on your opinion! We might have collaborated with Apex for the original formula but your Best Product Of The Year video was the inspiration for the 2.0 version that you’re using now! Keep on rocking the detail world, Sir! 🫡
@@TheBreakfastLoveryes, definitely, and to increase your efficiency a little you can also use DIY Detail Iron Remover as additional lubrication if wanted.
Thanks Pan for featuring our new Auto Fanatic 007 Snowstorm Car Shampoo we spent years getting this soap to do exactly what I wanted. The self cleaning and multi stage foaming is key for maint touch less washes for dust, salt etc where I show the dirt in the run off in my wash videos. Another feature is our soap can be used in direct sun and hot humid climates which was factored into development. We do sell gallons and 5 gallons and 20 unit case packs through our store at a great value of almost half off retail to the mobile detailers and pro users, via Amazon we just offer the 16oz for ease of shipping to new users.
I exclusively use The TW Purewash. I hand wash my car over 52 times a year and this 64 oz car wash lasts me well over a year which is a ridiculous value. Their cheap TW green bottle car wash is excellent too with phenomenal scents and cleaning ability. Also the pure wash is an amazing clay lubricant. There has been no reason for me to explore another soap! Great job TW! And thank you Pan!
My girlfriend is allergic to fragrances, could you do a video showing a complete list of detailing and washing products free of fragrances but good quality? 🙏🏻
Haven't finished the video yet but Ive used almost all of these myself at least once. My go to is the TW Pure SlicknSlide. It's cheap, smells good, snow foams good, and works great in a bucket wash. Tho I find myself doing DIY Detail Rinseless washes more often now, my go to in this list is easily TW.
@@hockey1freak 100 percent you could. I have used it in a marolex pump sprayer before. Just lower how much TW you use at first until you get the exact consistency of soap to water ratio you want and remember to clean the system regularly (tho you should do that anyway with any type of chemicals).
Koch Chemie GSF is always my go-to for flexibility, simply because it’s a pH neutral snow foam off the shelf, but if you combine it with 30ml of Koch Chemie’s Green Star you turn it into an alkaline snow foam to really help cut through road crud and remove some coatings for a reset, and since I always have both products on me it saves me having to carry both a pH neutral and alkaline snow foam.
@@PanTheOrganizer Yeah man, and is also a third product to carry around, which I said using GSF and GS together saves me from having to do. One less SKU to carry, one less product to buy and take up space, and since I ALWAYS have GSF and GS on me AF is sort of pointless except to maybe save 30 seconds having to measure out 30ml of GS.
Pan I just have to say your videos are the best!!! Very well explained, you cover all the variables, all the points, top notch audio and video so very easy to follow, see, and understand. Thanks for what you do. 🙂

Thanks Pan , great content. My favourite is Diy Incredible suds. The products they make work really. What makes the difference is for me is the education and support they provide. The other companies don’t even take time to thank you.
I wash my car first thing in the morning and in my driveway, I tried DIYs incredible suds in my MJJC foam cannon for the first time and couldn’t be happier, my problem is to stop smelling the bottle lol, awesome video and thank you Pan 👍😁
Yes and has higher degreasing capabilities, as I discussed with the Adam's chemist in this interview: th-cam.com/video/KOHw0bweWEc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AW_O0-2VFzSa7bUc
I have only used Adams Mega Foam with Foam Cannon which I felt works very well. I am really a fan of Car Pro Reset for either using with the Foam Cannon and/or contact wash.
I use gsf. Use on dry paint let it dwell rinse off. Then refoam and use that for my contact wash with just a rinse bucket( no soap) with a Grit guard. Gsf is the slickest foam I've used. In winter my prewash foam is touchless followed by gsf. Works great for me! Thanks for the video pan. I agree with the comment that your channel makes me spend lots of money lol however due to your good reviews I've stopped wasting money buying untested products!
Another excellent video! I use DIY Incredible Suds for the initial foaming, then GSF for lubrication with the hand wash, which I use the P&S Pearl Automotive Shampoo. Always get great results!!
Pan, Yet another great video, I use The Adams, Mega foam since it won first place in your last video, I always wait for the 25% sale... I actually called and asked the company a couple years ago about using it as a contact wash. They said it was exceptional as a contact wash.. Since then they have changed the description on their website to include that it can be used in a two bucket method.. I suspect that most of the snow foam behaved very similarly is that they are all blended by the same company B&B blenders. Especially Apex, DIY, Chemical, Armour, Auto fanatic. Adams.. I'll go out on a limb and say turtle wax and koch-chemie are probably blended in house.
Yeah it's hard to know who blends these products. There are only a handful of third party big blenders like B&B Blending in the USA. Some companies have their own chemists though. I don't really care who blends, what I care about the most is the end result and if it delivers on performance and sometimes value if that's a criteria for some.
Awesome video, Pan, thanks for sharing! I've been using the Adams Mega Foam for a couple years, it does provide really thick foam, even with the hard water I have. Because I have to wash my vehicles outside, I typically rinse first to cool the surface a bit first, then apply the snow foam. Only use an ounce or two in the foam cannon, and it provides the nice, bubblegum-scented thick foam that I like. I do find that there is a bit of residue left over when rinsing, I need to do a thorough rinse job in order to get rid of it all; could possibly be due to being outside when I use it. This is just my experience, others' mileage may vary. Once again, very informative and educational video, Pan, thanks again for sharing! Keep up the great work!
If you have a pressure washer, use Chemical Guys Sticky Snowball. pH balanced, so on ceramic coated cars, you can do a touchless wash with no bucket or mitt. I promise you will love it
I like the comparisons. Have you thought of doing a comparison using a Ryobi 1800 psi, 2gpm washer and several foam canons (from cheaper to more expensive)? Different soap combos? Possibly with 1.1 oraface. Just bringing this up as this is used by a lot of us non pros, weekend warriors. Love your vids, Pan. This retiree has learned a lot from them, Thanks.
Thanks! My channel is geared more towards tutorials and product reviews (chemicals). ImJoshV and Cars With Keav are channels that focus more on equipment like pressure washers. I did a collaboration with ImJoshV where we recommended different pressure washers at different price points here: th-cam.com/video/_UwK_0VDK0o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BLpf3kQWlrTdQvI-
Its funny. I really got into car detailing about 3 years ago. I have always taken pride in keeping my cars clean, but i was a hose, bucket, off the shelf car soap and like mothers or similar brand wax. After getting an Audi S3 in 2020 i dove into car detailing in a much more extensive way and at that time i was using a gas pressure washer with a "essential washer" foam cannon and felt like i had really stepped into the "big leagues" using Mr. Pink wash. I loved the scent and swore by the quality of the foam and the product. Fast forward to today and i have found that Mr. Pink is still good, but no longer is my preferred soap. GSF, Adams Ultra/mega foam and gyeon bathe have since become my products of choice. I just purchased some of the DIY detail incredible suds and i have found that i love to buy a different soap as often as possible just to try them out. Pan, i love your videos! Keep it up
Very comprehensive video Pan! TW & Adams are my typical go-to car soaps (bucket and foam cannon). Just picked up DIY Incredible Suds but have not used it yet. Blessings from USA 🇺🇸 GGG 😎
Paaaaaan the ORGANIZER! i cant get the intro out of my head. Anyway, from the video, it appeared that the GSF from Koch Chemie had a more even sheeting down the panel and rinsed evenly, but the DIY was close behind and seemed to rinse quick. The Armour also ran down well and as you said rinsed easy. Personally, i would rather have something that runs down and doesnt stick, so it brings the dirt down with it. So for me based on what i saw, it would be the GSF followed by the Armour, then the DIY.
Great Show! I live in Northern California, which has Continental/Mediterranean climates, hot summers, and cool wet winters with vertical no snow. Vehicals are garaged, and I typically wash outside weekly with TurtleWax Pro Pure Wash Slick & Slide pH 8.3, or 3D Super Soap Concentrate pH 8.0. Very impressed with their versatility, lubricity, and foaming abilities. Only negative for 3D is it's consistency, pours like honey, making it a little difficult to pour and mix. Gotta use some warm water for sure in both the foamer, and bucket. SIDE NOTE: I currently have Adams Polish Graphene Ceramic Coatings (not the "Advanced" version) on my vehicles. Coatings are holding up pretty well after 2 plus years. This fall, I did notice that the beading was fading to decent sheeting. I wanted those dancing beads back, so I gave Carpro Descale, pH 6 a try. BAM, super tight beads! I will have to make Carpro Descale an annual fall activity along with a nice topper. One Bucket Foamer
Yes CarPro Descale is awesome for reviving coatings (assuming the coating is still there). It's an acidic pH (close to pH 6). I have it featured in my ultimate spring deep cleaning tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/oTaFE_p2OAw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DKbV_iudIuURih7B
hey Pan , I'm car detailing enthusiast from Saudia Arabia . thanks for the great vids , one thing to mention here the prices here are absolutely different , GSF 1 L here is 18$ and Mr.pink is 18.5 $ . Again Thanks for the Great content ...

I was wondering u didnt put Gyon or Carpro in the mix and i thought u are quite a fan. (Sure u can not compare all products or the video would be way too long). I use gyon and carpro mostly or Gravity. I like the gravity one for the weekly wash because it's very good and not expensive. Also just a hint in Europe we are not allowed to to wash the car at home due to regulations. So 99% of enthusiasts go to a carwash box. So we can not use a foam Canon. I for example use an IK pump former and and a SOLO pumpformer (btw best pumpformer) with an battery airpump so i dont have to pump manually. (Drilled a hole and put an air valve in). So long story short. It would be nice for the manufacturer to put a dilution Manual for pumpformer on the bottle aswell. I know u did once a video bout it snow foam in Pumpformer. (Like 2 years ago?) Anywho... Nice video. Also i wonder... If u put in to a foam canon regular car shampoo what would happen? I think it would foam up aswell.
I think the combo of using their products, the performance, and the TH-cam videos that they produce - I have converted to DIY Detail. I have one car that has a CarPro a professional ceramic coating and use that line of products on it. All of my other cars are now DIY. I’m about to put on the “stack” this spring.
I'm just looking a good value (high concentrate) foam that is completely safe on my ceramic coating but still cuts through the grime as good as a high alkaline foam
You can't get that. No pH neutral snow foam can cut through grime and road film like a higher alkaline snow foam. pH neutral for weekly washes and lubrication is all you need. Once in a while, for a deeper cleaning, removal of grime and traffic film, that's when you step up to a higher alkaline snow foam like Bilt Hamber Touch-Less or CarPro Lift. I use both on my ceramic coated car with no issues. Just don't use those on a weekly basis.
As an enthusiast who’s only maintaining 2 cars, and being someone who likes to tinker, soap lasts a long time. The value play doesn’t really matter to me. DIY Detail is KILLER but I have to admit that the thickness is a bit annoying. Not a show stopper just less convenient. ADS is next up. Heard great things.

I am running low on my current shampoo so ill be buying more soon but I think ill try mega foam and DIY suds, washing in the sun is sometimes something I have to do.
I've been using Turtle Wax pure wash for foaming,contact wash and during claying. It's honestly one if the best wash I've ever come across. Have been using it weekly and loving it.
I am a big fan of the Turtle Wax Pure Wash. I use it for hand washing 98% of the time, but it's the perfect foam for my needs when I wanna do foam. Highly recommend especially if you use paste waxes.

What an in depth analysis. Great review! You answered so many questions I wasn’t even thinking of with a great variety of quality and cost. As a guy who just washes his cars in the driveway, but loves the cathartic process and pleasing results of a clean, shiny, slick car, you’re review has helped me narrow down my hunt for the best soap for my use.

@@PanTheOrganizer : Indeed! I think I was your 1,000,001st subscriber. Glad to be on board. As an Automotive Hand Painting Pinstriper with 46 years experience I share your love for the beauty and esthetics of cars and bikes. Having a clean and slick car says a lot about the man(or woman), and it doesn’t matter what car you drive. Congrats on the million mark, and your new Porsche.
Another great video Pan ! Your test was very thorough and I was surprised how they were all somewhat similar with the foam output with very little visible difference. My favs are AF 007, GSF and Incredible Suds. I have not tried the others but they all appear to be pretty standup soaps. I do enjoy a good smelling soap which makes the experience that much more pleasurable. Thanks again for all your hard work !
I'm in the UK and I use Autoglym Polar blast and their snow foam lance. I've been quite happy although the dilution ratio is only 1:5 so you use quite a lot at a time.
MJJC, as always, really loves to drink the soap 🙂 it also can make almost any Snow Foams looks good.. Personally I use GSF and like it. Unlike sealants and I like to try more and more, if shampoo works for me it's stays and I just buy more of it . For prewash I use 20ml GSF and 10-20ml of GS, depend on how dirty the car, or other prewash shampoo.
I enjoy the videos that you make especially because you’re very direct and also for the range of information that you provide. I’ve only just started watching your videos just 2 days ago. I came across yours because honestly I’ve watched over 100 other videos from which you always mention to venture and not to just listen to what Pan has to say, which is an honest gesture, no one can say unless they truly care about the art can say something like that. I were like “this guy has everything from A-to-Z, pros and cons and how from start to finish to be efficient with your investment. If I can explain it in the GIF, I couldn’t do it better than that.

I am not a car fanatic, but I keep my car pretty clean. Using my power washer and foam gun makes washing the car fun! But I am not a car detailing expert in the least. My criteria for a good car shampoo is three-fold: 1. Medium to thick foam 2. Won't strip my wax off 3. Leaves a nice shine on the car. I foam up the car, wipe it, rinse and dry it. No 2nd wash. Since all of the products seem to foam well, can you comment on which leaves the best shine?
I think a decently thick foam is what you’d want to really sit and soften the dirt and grime, I find runny foam doesn’t really do much except quickly take the loose dirt down, where thicker can really penetrate that layer of grime much better

Hello Pan, merci pour ce gigantesque comparatif et conseils pour une bonne mousse, un cours magistral et très intéressant, j'aime le GSF, et malheureusement les produits DIY ne sont pas facilement accessible en France.👏👍🙋
The only one that I've used from your test is the MegaFoam. It's the best pH neutral snow foam that I've used (e.g. CG Honeydoo and Adam's Regular Shampoo). Pros: * shaving cream foam with a 1.1 orifice, 1.2 gpm pressure washer, and TriNova foam cannon. Upgraded to a 2.0 gpm pressure washer and switched to 1.25 orifice in the TriNova and it's even thicker. * It's thin pouring out of bottle so really easy to mix with water in the foam cannon * Still thick foam even when I added something alkaline to it such as 6 oz of Purple Power Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Boat Concentrate. Cons: * I found it to be sticky in the rinse phase when my truck was protected with a ceramic sealant and had a monthly ceramic detailer topper. I've recently ceramic coated my truck, but haven't used the MegaFoam on it.
I started using detail armour and love it. I have hard water and it performs the best. I like DIY detail but find it too thick to easily measure and use. I’ll have to try the apex just out of curiosity ( hey why not one more soap on the shelf!)
I used the Turtle Wax Pure, quite pleased. It stays in my inventory. Mr. Pink I used when 1st starting out, decent for the $ & of course Adams Mega Foam. Great product
My preference is Bilt Hamber touch-less, I don't really have an opinion on thick snowfoam, I only care about the removal of dirt to reduce halo and marring.
Just ordered some Turtle Wax Pure Wash. Started switching to some of Turtle Wax' hybrid solutions products (e.g. Ceramic Wash & Wax). I had a jug of CG Mr. Pink, finally used it all up, and confirm can be used in a foam canon. I agree with you, it is a mediocre product; lubrication and cleaning properties are not very good. Your recent video about dealing with pollen on paint surfaces was super helpful...here in the west coast in British Columbia, March ~ June is craaazy "pollen season."
Yo Pan, One of your best videos where you simplified the process....1 once for everyone and let's see the results. Companies and/or manufacturers will need to give serious attention to such details and simplicity as the industry moves progressively forward. I have used and still use the Turtle Wax as for the cost, the impact of contact wash and outcome remain my priorities. I want to give DIY suds a try and just ordered it. As a suggestion, I believe you should consider including additional suppliers to your links such as stores in Ontario, Quebec and even the Maritimes so that shipping cost and shipping time are possibly reduced for your subscribers and our clients. Keep up the good work, appreciate your expertise, insights and recommendations!! Regards, Edmond Martin
Thanks for the feedback Edmond. As a quick side note, I am very limited in the number of words in the video description, so I can't possibly add all those extra links. Also, just searching and including all those links is already a task that takes a lot of time (I have 1000 videos on my channel, so you can imagine). Producing a video takes me 10-15 hours on average. It's insane the amount of work that goes into making these. Have a great weekend!
Great video Pan! I love the Turtle Wax and KocheChemie the best for my application but after seeing this video I’d love to try DIY Detail and Armor Detal Supply Shampoo Plus. I look forward to them. What is your personal favorite for your Porsche that you use most of the time besides Car Pro Reset?
There's no doubt that Bilt Hamber Touch-less is the best in the world. Strong cleaning power, can be used as a shampoo, and sugar-based so super eco-friendly. Nothing not to like, and latest formula is a higher concentrate.
He covered high PH soaps in first 5 minutes. This video is about ph neutral soaps that are used weekly mainly for lubrication on a contact wash and don’t degrade your coating/sealant/wax. BH would come in last place in this video and if you use it weekly you are crazy.
You seem to have skipped through the video, as I clearly spoke about this at the very beginning (first two minutes). This video focuses on the pH neutral, weekly wash type snow foams. The Bilt Hamber is a part of the higher pH snow foams that have higher cleaning potential, and that would be for another video. ;) I am very thorough in my explanations in my videos, so please consider listening from beginning all the way until the end. I usually answer all the questions people might have. But yes, Bilt Hamber Touch-Less is the best snow foam for pre-wash cleaning I have ever tested. It took home first place for my favourite snow foam of the year in my latest car detailing products awards video. I have used it in many videos. Have a good weekend.
Hi Pan,thank you for your great videos, very informative, love your detailed info..love the car by the way!..I've seen some guys using RVs water filters,whats your opinion on that?..thanks
Thanks for the positive feedback! Yeah some guys might use RV water filters, but I haven't looked into those. If they deionize the water, then it's a good alternative.

I always pre rinse before foaming. Mostly because I pre-treat with bug remover. I live in central Oklahoma and drive on the highway all the time, bugs are a huge problem spring and summer.
Hi Sir, hoping that maybe you can give me an advice on what soap or brand to use on my foam canon and in contact washes as to what is best to use especially I only clean our vehicles outside sun since I dont have a garage. Sincerely Thank you in advance😊😊😊😊
The Auto Fanatic 007 featured here, and the Armour Detail Supply, can both be used outside in the sun. But ideally, always work in the shade on a cool surface, for the best user experience.
I have most of these products. Thank you Pan! However my favorite go to is Koch Chemie Super Foam! A bit pricey but well worth it. The fragrance is Sandalwood. I prefer German products for my BMWs, Mercedes and outlier Jaguar F-Type R.
Hi Pan, What happen to CarPro Reset? Depending on what I am doing with a car. Maintenance wash, DeCon wash, Prep for Ceramic Coating wash. I use all the CarPro line up of wash soaps. My basic maintenance wash is Prewash with rinseless wash, foam with Reset, rinse, foam with Reset and 1 bucket hand wash with either a little Reset or rinseless in the bucket. How is that am I over doing it? As always thank you for what you do. It is a pleasure watching your channel and learning tips and tricks in making car detailing great, fast, easy and a joy to do.
I've used Mr Pink, GSF, and Adams Mega Foam and out of those three with the same pressure washer, I like the Adams. The smell and overall thick foam is a tad better imo. I don't have the strongest pressure washer so it tends to foam up a little better.
I always look forward to “Saturday morning with Pan” Ty. As always great job with your solid explanations and attention to detail. It just so happens I picked up a chemical guys 16oz sticky snowball ultra snow foam yesterday. Truth be told I only made the purchase because the packaging was so attractive. 😂😂. What I really went to pick up was Chemical guys floor mat cleaner & protectant. Maybe you can put this floor mat cleaner & protectant up against your McKeeys product you like to use. I don’t usually purchase Chemical guys but I do like a few of their products Again thank you for “Saturday morning with Pan” All the best.
Thanks for another amazing video! I use the adam's mega foam, but my results were not nearly as good as the mega foam on yours because I have 1.3 GPM and hose water. I would suggest for future videos (battles) to use a setup similar to the average weekend warrior because then the difference might be more apparent, I can hardly tell the difference here because they are all so good with your setup.
I'm relatively new to using a foam cannon. I did some online research and decided to try Chemical Guys Mr. Pink. It foamed well and left a nice shine on the car. Then I saw this video and decided to try Apex Auto Wash. Just as much much foam, just as much shine, but also leaves the car feeling smooth like it was just waxed. I will be switching over to this brand for my weekly, go to car soap.
I always use bilt hamber touchless. I wash once a week unless weather is too bad. Never had a problem with it in respect to LSP which in my case is soft 99 fusso coat. I find that the contact wash has a greater effect effect due to the mechanical action.
BH Touch-Less is the best pre-wash snow foam I have ever tested, and that's why it took first place in my yearly awards video for best snow foam. But it's a higher pH, and this video was only pH neutral. ;) But even with the best pre-wash snow foam, you must ALWAYS follow up with a manual contact wash with a bucket and soap, as that is what really revives coatings and removes 100% of the remaining dirt. Snow foams are just meant to remove a bulk of the loose dirt, debris, and grit, and start softening the grime and road film. That's 80% of the job. In an effort to reduce marring the paint during the remaining 20% of the job which is the contact wash. :)
Thanks Pan for that one. Very interesting as usual from you.I'm using GSF on my maintenance wash and was using C.Guys Honeydew before cause I bought a gallon 2 years ago..... I had to finished that one. I also used Mega Foam for maintenance pre-wash. With GSF I'm shooting the car of a nice blanket of foam & do the contact wash without rinsing it. Good results and good lubrification. For the coated car I'm using CarPro Lift (every month) and Reset afterward. Thanks again and keep on the good work!!!
I am newer to "detailing" my vehicles. Silly question, after you foam do you handwash that foam with a mitt or do you simply spray it off and that is your wash? While I want to keep my vehicles clean, I don't want to spend my entire weekend washing my vehicles and not spending time with my family. Thanks!
The snow foam is part of the pre-wash. You foam, let it dwell, and then rinse off. And then you can either re-foam and contact wash, or go straight to the hand wash. You always have to finish with a hand wash, it's the only way to get 100% clean results.

What about if you have to use it under the sun because you have no choice. Then which one would you pick? Also if you have to use a garden house and bucket? No pressure washer.
Love the hybrid stuff , for the price and what it does you can't go wrong with them. I just started using the pure wash soap with a bit of apc for a pre wash and I really like it . Also use inside job for Interior love it. Staples in my business
I was a bit surprised when you mentioned the Adams should be used more as a prewash. I’ve been using it for my two bucket method. Nonetheless, always great to hear your expert perspective as I’m just a consumer
I actually asked Chris Gallahar, the main chemist at B&B which blends Adam's products, and here's his response: "Adam’s Mega Foam is designed and intended to be aerated - so used via a Foam Cannon with a Pressure Washer or a Foam Gun with a standard Garden Hose. It basically requires that aeration from the Foam Cannon/Gun, and some pressure, to really get the ‘oomph’ out of the foaming. The Adam’s Mega Foam was launched primarily due to its intended usage with those other tools as a companion product, so it should be used as such. If you’re going with a bucket wash, I’d suggest reaching for any of the other formulas. Will it work in a bucket wash? Technically, yes, but nothing miraculous. It would look paltry compared to any of the other shampoos, which are more designed around any of a 2-bucket wash or a foam cannon/gun because they’re using more standard, primary and secondary surfactant systems, whereas Adam’s Mega Foam is actually quite unique in its composition." I hope this helps.
@@PanTheOrganizer this definitely helps. My understanding of prewash might be the issue. I thought prewash was the foaming of the car using the foam cannon then rinsing, just to get the initial dirt off the car. I apply foam again to the car prior to doing the contact wash using the two bucket method. From my understanding the Koch chemie gentle snow foam was a good pre wash when used in a foam cannon. I’ve been using Adams megafoam is my foam cannon and in the buckets. With your suggestion I should keep the Adams for the foam cannon and add another product in the buckets for a contact wash, which I’ll look to do!
The TW slick and slide is amazing shampoo. Foam cannon it kills it, 1.5 oz in my liter size cannon bottle produces shave cream like foam and I can use a decontamination towel with it. It rinses so easy. Don’t wear flip flops on finished concrete surfaces or you will bust your butt, its that slick. My new favorite. Thanks
I think years ago, the difference between average and great products was miles wide. I remember using the cheapest wax possible on cars because there was no TH-cam, no podcasts, nothing. You just saw some old tin of wax in the garage and when that was gone, you went and got another one for $1.49. It might have given you a decent finish for a month or two, but that's all anyone expected it to last. Now, the most pedestrian product in stores gives you better results than some of the most expensive products from 20 years ago. In terms of visual performance, other than thickness of the foam, I just don't see a whole lot of difference in any of these. It looks basically like a commodity product, these foams in the video anyway. They all look quite outstanding, and in light of the commodification of these, would just get the most cost effective foam. I don't think you're *only* paying for marketing, because the chemistry will matter, but marketing costs will bake into the end product cost more than just about anything else. If you're doing paid work, not DIY work, a customer with a $100,000+ car will expect some degree of exclusivity in products. I don't expect that client to be satisfied knowing you used turtlewax. But if nobody is watching, I suspect the more value foam will work just fine. And if you're doing paid work, you could always buy the expensive stuff and just refill the bottle with cheaper stuff, like a budget cruise ship bar. My cynicism about Chemical Guys is that the explosion of the product line is deliberate to crowd shelf space out at stores. It's sold at Walmart. And when you have 40 different SKUs to stock, it will just be a wall of Chemical Guys stuff, so everywhere you look, all you see is Chemical Guys. It's like how Bud Light comes in 6 pack bottles, 6 pack cans, 12 pack bottles and cans, 15 pack, 18 pack, 24 pack, etc...all the same beer, but the objective is to crowd out competitors.
You made good points here. I agree, products are CONSIDERABLY better than they were even 5-6 years ago. The competition is so high, that we as consumers benefit as brands have to make sure to keep pushing product innovation and quality to new heights if they want to earn our hard earned dollars.

Another informative vlog, I did enjoy your your experiment of neutral pH vs high pH. It showed the cleaning power of the higher pH snow foam. Perhaps you might consider an experiment test of various neutral pH snow foam soap and the cleaning power of each on a dirty vehicle. I did appreciate you mentioning your top three in this video as far as lubricating when hand washing from a bucket.
I made a video of the 15 best pH neutral soaps here: th-cam.com/video/kWSQSpD0Rww/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZdjmVTgvG9EdMvGP Once a good pre-wash is made, a pH neutral soap is usually all you'll need. Once in a while, you can use an acidic shampoo to remove limescale and mineral buildup and water spots (like CarPro Descale or Labocosmetica Purifica).
As always great job! Had a off the wall question I regards to snow foams. I was wondering if you or anyone has used or know of a foam for the house. Ya know to help with removal of light dirt, and then possible come back with a brush. I know simple green makes a few outdoor cleaners. Any thoughts?
Pan! Can you review BioHY car shampoo (German) I am trying to find cleaning products that are plastic / forever chemical safe for soils / plant life and this was top of the charts. Interested in your take! ❤
Just curious what coating you have on the car? I've watched tons of ceramic coating videos and can't remember any having hydrophobic as good as the side of your car. Appreciate all the vids Pan.
It’s one of the best professional grade coatings I have ever tested. I showed what it is and did the application in this video: th-cam.com/video/-9pVgjQFe1U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CXGle3tY9LKuTgyn

@pantheorganizer - you had done a past review of the Griot's Foaming Surface Wash and gave it a very high rating. How does that Griot's FSW compare to the Adams and Armour detail Supply?
Thanks for including us in the test, Pan! We will certainly try our best to reduce the cost over time as we grow. Shampoo+ specifically is an expensive product to manufacture, due to the type of surfactants we chose.
Thanks! You guys have a great lineup! 💪🏻
Don’t change it! I love it!
Please please please, don't change the formula because of cost...
I think you and DIY detail are the top 2 brands setting the standard today.
I understand the cost is a little higher but people shall pay more for better quality products. Keep it up!!!
@@gorillanismo agree top 2 and they run sales so product price is ok 👍
Keep changing the game, I'm sure you guys will start to win a bigger and bigger market share! I can't wait to try your products after I run out of the supplies I have now.
I attended the Meguiars Detailing class for over 6 months and began using only Meguiars products up to 2012. I also began using some of the Mother's products. In 2023 I was reading about Turtle Wax products and never tried any Turtle Wax products until I saw Turtle Wax hybrid ceramic wash. I got hooked on this and still use it. It gives and fantastic shine. Later as it was not sold in auto part stores I had to order it thru Turtle Wax. But later on I got the urge to buy the Slick and slide. I no longer do detailing on customer vehicles as I turned 75 and it's a lot of work at my age, but I still do my family vehicles and only use the Turtle wax products. Keep up the great Info!!! Yanni
Thanks Yanni
Super appreciate the love Pan!! We always key in on your opinion! We might have collaborated with Apex for the original formula but your Best Product Of The Year video was the inspiration for the 2.0 version that you’re using now! Keep on rocking the detail world, Sir! 🫡
Thank you!!
Thanks for including DIY Detail Incredible Suds in your test.
👍🏻💪🏻
Can Incredible Suds be used as a clay lube like the Turtle Wax soap?
@@TheBreakfastLover I use it as a clay lube from time to time. Never had any problems
@@TheBreakfastLoveryes, definitely, and to increase your efficiency a little you can also use DIY Detail Iron Remover as additional lubrication if wanted.
@@TheBreakfastLoverdiy is a great clay lube.
Pan, your videos always cost me money 😂 keep up the good work 👏
I have enough product to clean my vehicles for the next 50 years LOL 😂
I feel your pain.
😂😂
I totally agree!
Hehe Thanks, will do!
Yip, but sure we could spend it on worse things 😃
Thanks Pan for featuring our new Auto Fanatic 007 Snowstorm Car Shampoo we spent years getting this soap to do exactly what I wanted. The self cleaning and multi stage foaming is key for maint touch less washes for dust, salt etc where I show the dirt in the run off in my wash videos. Another feature is our soap can be used in direct sun and hot humid climates which was factored into development. We do sell gallons and 5 gallons and 20 unit case packs through our store at a great value of almost half off retail to the mobile detailers and pro users, via Amazon we just offer the 16oz for ease of shipping to new users.
Thanks for sharing your info Phil. You can be proud of the products you put out on the market!
I exclusively use The TW Purewash. I hand wash my car over 52 times a year and this 64 oz car wash lasts me well over a year which is a ridiculous value. Their cheap TW green bottle car wash is excellent too with phenomenal scents and cleaning ability. Also the pure wash is an amazing clay lubricant. There has been no reason for me to explore another soap! Great job TW! And thank you Pan!
Thanks for sharing your personal experience Gabe!
My girlfriend is allergic to fragrances, could you do a video showing a complete list of detailing and washing products free of fragrances but good quality? 🙏🏻
Haven't finished the video yet but Ive used almost all of these myself at least once. My go to is the TW Pure SlicknSlide. It's cheap, smells good, snow foams good, and works great in a bucket wash. Tho I find myself doing DIY Detail Rinseless washes more often now, my go to in this list is easily TW.
👍🏻
Do you think it would be ok for me to use the TW with a handheld electric foam bottle? (Vs. cannon)
@@hockey1freak 100 percent you could. I have used it in a marolex pump sprayer before. Just lower how much TW you use at first until you get the exact consistency of soap to water ratio you want and remember to clean the system regularly (tho you should do that anyway with any type of chemicals).
My all time favorite that i have used is Adams mega foam. But im gonna look at diy. Thanks for the in depth demo pan. 👊 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
adams mega foam is the best hands down
As foaming your vehicle has become more popular/fun all of these companies have been raising there cost and cashing in.
The cost of everything, for life in general, has gone up quite a bit in the past three years. And the detailing world is no exception.
Thanks pan good show. I use Mega Foam in the bucket for contact wash ,Works Great
Thanks for watching!
Koch Chemie GSF is always my go-to for flexibility, simply because it’s a pH neutral snow foam off the shelf, but if you combine it with 30ml of Koch Chemie’s Green Star you turn it into an alkaline snow foam to really help cut through road crud and remove some coatings for a reset, and since I always have both products on me it saves me having to carry both a pH neutral and alkaline snow foam.
Or just use Koch Chemie Active Foam, which is kind of like Gsf + Gs combined. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer Yeah man, and is also a third product to carry around, which I said using GSF and GS together saves me from having to do. One less SKU to carry, one less product to buy and take up space, and since I ALWAYS have GSF and GS on me AF is sort of pointless except to maybe save 30 seconds having to measure out 30ml of GS.
That's exactly what i do 👍😁
I also use this combo, it's easy since I use GS for other stuff, not just my car.
👍🏻
Pan I just have to say your videos are the best!!! Very well explained, you cover all the variables, all the points, top notch audio and video so very easy to follow, see, and understand. Thanks for what you do. 🙂

Thanks Pan , great content. My favourite is Diy Incredible suds. The products they make work really. What makes the difference is for me is the education and support they provide. The other companies don’t even take time to thank you.
Thanks for sharing!
I wash my car first thing in the morning and in my driveway, I tried DIYs incredible suds in my MJJC foam cannon for the first time and couldn’t be happier, my problem is to stop smelling the bottle lol, awesome video and thank you Pan 👍😁
Hehe thanks Dave!
Thank you.
I like the Incredible Suds the best. Just tried Carpro Reset this morning-- not impressed. Will stick with the Incredible Suds!
Reset is more commonly used in the bucket (probably my favourite bucket soap for coated cars), not so much for the foam cannon, I agree.
Thank you.
Adam’s Graphene Shampoo is amazing for cleaning ceramic coatings! It also foams crazy and has great lubrication
Yes and has higher degreasing capabilities, as I discussed with the Adam's chemist in this interview: th-cam.com/video/KOHw0bweWEc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AW_O0-2VFzSa7bUc
@@PanTheOrganizer Great explanation!
Thanks!
I have only used Adams Mega Foam with Foam Cannon which I felt works very well. I am really a fan of Car Pro Reset for either using with the Foam Cannon and/or contact wash.
👍🏻
I use gsf. Use on dry paint let it dwell rinse off. Then refoam and use that for my contact wash with just a rinse bucket( no soap) with a Grit guard. Gsf is the slickest foam I've used. In winter my prewash foam is touchless followed by gsf. Works great for me! Thanks for the video pan. I agree with the comment that your channel makes me spend lots of money lol however due to your good reviews I've stopped wasting money buying untested products!
Thanks for the trust you place in my opinion Colin!
Another excellent video!
I use DIY Incredible Suds for the initial foaming, then GSF for lubrication with the hand wash, which I use the P&S Pearl Automotive Shampoo. Always get great results!!
It’s 12am now in my part of the world and so I can’t sleep yet without watching this 40min + video 😊
Greetings from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
I use Gyeon Foam and love it! Thanks Pan!
Good to know!
Same here. Surprised to see it not making the contest. 😢
Pan, Yet another great video, I use The Adams, Mega foam since it won first place in your last video, I always wait for the 25% sale... I actually called and asked the company a couple years ago about using it as a contact wash. They said it was exceptional as a contact wash.. Since then they have changed the description on their website to include that it can be used in a two bucket method.. I suspect that most of the snow foam behaved very similarly is that they are all blended by the same company B&B blenders. Especially Apex, DIY, Chemical, Armour, Auto fanatic. Adams.. I'll go out on a limb and say turtle wax and koch-chemie are probably blended in house.
Yeah it's hard to know who blends these products. There are only a handful of third party big blenders like B&B Blending in the USA. Some companies have their own chemists though.
I don't really care who blends, what I care about the most is the end result and if it delivers on performance and sometimes value if that's a criteria for some.
Awesome video, Pan, thanks for sharing! I've been using the Adams Mega Foam for a couple years, it does provide really thick foam, even with the hard water I have. Because I have to wash my vehicles outside, I typically rinse first to cool the surface a bit first, then apply the snow foam. Only use an ounce or two in the foam cannon, and it provides the nice, bubblegum-scented thick foam that I like. I do find that there is a bit of residue left over when rinsing, I need to do a thorough rinse job in order to get rid of it all; could possibly be due to being outside when I use it. This is just my experience, others' mileage may vary.
Once again, very informative and educational video, Pan, thanks again for sharing! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing!
I have used Mr Pink and thought it was a good value as a snow foam, decent performance at a reasonable price.
It's certainly inexpensive.
If you have a pressure washer, use Chemical Guys Sticky Snowball. pH balanced, so on ceramic coated cars, you can do a touchless wash with no bucket or mitt. I promise you will love it
I like the comparisons. Have you thought of doing a comparison using a Ryobi 1800 psi, 2gpm washer and several foam canons (from cheaper to more expensive)? Different soap combos? Possibly with 1.1 oraface. Just bringing this up as this is used by a lot of us non pros, weekend warriors. Love your vids, Pan. This retiree has learned a lot from them,
Thanks.
Thanks! My channel is geared more towards tutorials and product reviews (chemicals). ImJoshV and Cars With Keav are channels that focus more on equipment like pressure washers.
I did a collaboration with ImJoshV where we recommended different pressure washers at different price points here: th-cam.com/video/_UwK_0VDK0o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BLpf3kQWlrTdQvI-
Its funny. I really got into car detailing about 3 years ago. I have always taken pride in keeping my cars clean, but i was a hose, bucket, off the shelf car soap and like mothers or similar brand wax. After getting an Audi S3 in 2020 i dove into car detailing in a much more extensive way and at that time i was using a gas pressure washer with a "essential washer" foam cannon and felt like i had really stepped into the "big leagues" using Mr. Pink wash. I loved the scent and swore by the quality of the foam and the product. Fast forward to today and i have found that Mr. Pink is still good, but no longer is my preferred soap. GSF, Adams Ultra/mega foam and gyeon bathe have since become my products of choice. I just purchased some of the DIY detail incredible suds and i have found that i love to buy a different soap as often as possible just to try them out. Pan, i love your videos! Keep it up
One I really like is the Sonax profiline actifoam. Great cleaning soap.
Great information as always Pan. Thank you! Have a great weekend!❤
Thank you! Have a great weekend too!
Very comprehensive video Pan! TW & Adams are my typical go-to car soaps (bucket and foam cannon). Just picked up DIY Incredible Suds but have not used it yet.
Blessings from USA 🇺🇸
GGG 😎
Thanks GGG!! :)
Paaaaaan the ORGANIZER! i cant get the intro out of my head. Anyway, from the video, it appeared that the GSF from Koch Chemie had a more even sheeting down the panel and rinsed evenly, but the DIY was close behind and seemed to rinse quick. The Armour also ran down well and as you said rinsed easy.
Personally, i would rather have something that runs down and doesnt stick, so it brings the dirt down with it. So for me based on what i saw, it would be the GSF followed by the Armour, then the DIY.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope you have a great weekend Mike!
Great Show!
I live in Northern California, which has Continental/Mediterranean climates, hot summers, and cool wet winters with vertical no snow. Vehicals are garaged, and I typically wash outside weekly with TurtleWax Pro Pure Wash Slick
& Slide pH 8.3, or 3D Super Soap Concentrate pH 8.0. Very impressed with their versatility, lubricity, and foaming abilities. Only negative for 3D is it's consistency, pours like honey, making it a little difficult to pour and mix. Gotta use some warm water for sure in both the foamer, and bucket.
SIDE NOTE:
I currently have Adams Polish Graphene Ceramic Coatings (not the "Advanced" version) on my vehicles. Coatings are holding up pretty well after 2 plus years. This fall, I did notice that the beading was fading to decent sheeting. I wanted those dancing beads back, so I gave
Carpro Descale, pH 6 a try. BAM, super tight beads! I will have to make Carpro Descale an annual fall activity along with a nice topper.
One Bucket Foamer
Yes CarPro Descale is awesome for reviving coatings (assuming the coating is still there). It's an acidic pH (close to pH 6).
I have it featured in my ultimate spring deep cleaning tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/oTaFE_p2OAw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DKbV_iudIuURih7B
hey Pan , I'm car detailing enthusiast from Saudia Arabia . thanks for the great vids , one thing to mention here the prices here are absolutely different , GSF 1 L here is 18$ and Mr.pink is 18.5 $ .

Great video. I like using Turtle Wax products. I have been using them for decades, but after watching your videos I have been trying different things.
Thanks Fred. Yeah I agree, it's nice to try different things sometimes, and pick what works best for you.
I was wondering u didnt put Gyon or Carpro in the mix and i thought u are quite a fan. (Sure u can not compare all products or the video would be way too long).
I use gyon and carpro mostly or Gravity.
I like the gravity one for the weekly wash because it's very good and not expensive.
Also just a hint in Europe we are not allowed to to wash the car at home due to regulations. So 99% of enthusiasts go to a carwash box. So we can not use a foam Canon. I for example use an IK pump former and and a SOLO pumpformer (btw best pumpformer) with an battery airpump so i dont have to pump manually. (Drilled a hole and put an air valve in).
So long story short. It would be nice for the manufacturer to put a dilution Manual for pumpformer on the bottle aswell.
I know u did once a video bout it snow foam in Pumpformer. (Like 2 years ago?)
Anywho... Nice video.
Also i wonder... If u put in to a foam canon regular car shampoo what would happen? I think it would foam up aswell.
I think the combo of using their products, the performance, and the TH-cam videos that they produce - I have converted to DIY Detail. I have one car that has a CarPro a professional ceramic coating and use that line of products on it. All of my other cars are now DIY. I’m about to put on the “stack” this spring.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you.
I'm just looking a good value (high concentrate) foam that is completely safe on my ceramic coating but still cuts through the grime as good as a high alkaline foam
You can't get that. No pH neutral snow foam can cut through grime and road film like a higher alkaline snow foam. pH neutral for weekly washes and lubrication is all you need. Once in a while, for a deeper cleaning, removal of grime and traffic film, that's when you step up to a higher alkaline snow foam like Bilt Hamber Touch-Less or CarPro Lift. I use both on my ceramic coated car with no issues. Just don't use those on a weekly basis.
As an enthusiast who’s only maintaining 2 cars, and being someone who likes to tinker, soap lasts a long time. The value play doesn’t really matter to me. DIY Detail is KILLER but I have to admit that the thickness is a bit annoying. Not a show stopper just less convenient. ADS is next up. Heard great things.

007 snow storm is a great one also btw, comparable to incredible suds. I go back n forth between these
Enjoyed the video. Always a great job. The snow foams have come a long way for sure. Have a great weekend my friend.
Thanks Jim! What's your go-to snow foam?
DIY Detail incredible suds
I've been using Turtle Wax pure wash for foaming,contact wash and during claying. It's honestly one if the best wash I've ever come across. Have been using it weekly and loving it.
I have tried lots of snow foams, but I always come back to the Turtle wax slick and slide. Great foam and the lubrication is top notch!
It’s a tremendous bang for buck for sure.
I am a big fan of the Turtle Wax Pure Wash. I use it for hand washing 98% of the time, but it's the perfect foam for my needs when I wanna do foam. Highly recommend especially if you use paste waxes.

Another great video Pan ! Your test was very thorough and I was surprised how they were all somewhat similar with the foam output with very little visible difference. My favs are AF 007, GSF and Incredible Suds. I have not tried the others but they all appear to be pretty standup soaps. I do enjoy a good smelling soap which makes the experience that much more pleasurable. Thanks again for all your hard work !
Thanks Tom! I hope you are having a good weekend!
Excellent weekend Pan, thank you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and look forward to your next video.
Thank you.
I'm in the UK and I use Autoglym Polar blast and their snow foam lance. I've been quite happy although the dilution ratio is only 1:5 so you use quite a lot at a time.
I love DIY Detail's Incredible Suds! It's ...wait for it.....
INCREDIBLE!
LOL !!
Thank you.
MJJC, as always, really loves to drink the soap 🙂 it also can make almost any Snow Foams looks good..
Personally I use GSF and like it. Unlike sealants and I like to try more and more, if shampoo works for me it's stays and I just buy more of it . For prewash I use 20ml GSF and 10-20ml of GS, depend on how dirty the car, or other prewash shampoo.
😂
I enjoy the videos that you make especially because you’re very direct and also for the range of information that you provide. I’ve only just started watching your videos just 2 days ago. I came across yours because honestly I’ve watched over 100 other videos from which you always mention to venture and not to just listen to what Pan has to say, which is an honest gesture, no one can say unless they truly care about the art can say something like that. I were like “this guy has everything from A-to-Z, pros and cons and how from start to finish to be efficient with your investment. If I can explain it in the GIF, I couldn’t do it better than that.

Wow they all reacted quite similar pan I enjoy using the turtle wax and the Mr pink thanks great video
Thanks for watching!
I am not a car fanatic, but I keep my car pretty clean. Using my power washer and foam gun makes washing the car fun! But I am not a car detailing expert in the least. My criteria for a good car shampoo is three-fold: 1. Medium to thick foam 2. Won't strip my wax off 3. Leaves a nice shine on the car. I foam up the car, wipe it, rinse and dry it. No 2nd wash. Since all of the products seem to foam well, can you comment on which leaves the best shine?
I think a decently thick foam is what you’d want to really sit and soften the dirt and grime, I find runny foam doesn’t really do much except quickly take the loose dirt down, where thicker can really penetrate that layer of grime much better
Great video as usual. These videos are always very knowledgeable and full of important information for us diy guys. Bravo pan bravo

Hello Pan, merci pour ce gigantesque comparatif et conseils pour une bonne mousse, un cours magistral et très intéressant, j'aime le GSF, et malheureusement les produits DIY ne sont pas facilement accessible en France.👏👍🙋
Merci!
Ils vont être en France bientôt.
I use koch chemie AF Active Foam a littele bit more aggressive then gentle snow foam with a PH 9.5
👍🏻
The only one that I've used from your test is the MegaFoam. It's the best pH neutral snow foam that I've used (e.g. CG Honeydoo and Adam's Regular Shampoo).
Pros:
* shaving cream foam with a 1.1 orifice, 1.2 gpm pressure washer, and TriNova foam cannon. Upgraded to a 2.0 gpm pressure washer and switched to 1.25 orifice in the TriNova and it's even thicker.
* It's thin pouring out of bottle so really easy to mix with water in the foam cannon
* Still thick foam even when I added something alkaline to it such as 6 oz of Purple Power Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Boat Concentrate.
Cons:
* I found it to be sticky in the rinse phase when my truck was protected with a ceramic sealant and had a monthly ceramic detailer topper. I've recently ceramic coated my truck, but haven't used the MegaFoam on it.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience Scott. Very detailed response which will likely benefit other viewers.
So if the label on DIY is wrong, what is the correct amount that they need to put on the label?
DIY Detail would need to confirm but I think they said 1-2 oz
1 oz is all that’s needed in a foam cannon, 1/2 oz in your wash bucket.
I started using detail armour and love it. I have hard water and it performs the best. I like DIY detail but find it too thick to easily measure and use. I’ll have to try the apex just out of curiosity ( hey why not one more soap on the shelf!)
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you.
Are you able to do a comparison video about chempro 100?
Never heard of them
I used the Turtle Wax Pure, quite pleased. It stays in my inventory. Mr. Pink I used when 1st starting out, decent for the $ & of course Adams Mega Foam. Great product
Thanks for sharing!
My preference is Bilt Hamber touch-less, I don't really have an opinion on thick snowfoam, I only care about the removal of dirt to reduce halo and marring.
Just ordered some Turtle Wax Pure Wash. Started switching to some of Turtle Wax' hybrid solutions products (e.g. Ceramic Wash & Wax). I had a jug of CG Mr. Pink, finally used it all up, and confirm can be used in a foam canon. I agree with you, it is a mediocre product; lubrication and cleaning properties are not very good. Your recent video about dealing with pollen on paint surfaces was super helpful...here in the west coast in British Columbia, March ~ June is craaazy "pollen season."
Yo Pan, One of your best videos where you simplified the process....1 once for everyone and let's see the results. Companies and/or manufacturers will need to give serious attention to such details and simplicity as the industry moves progressively forward. I have used and still use the Turtle Wax as for the cost, the impact of contact wash and outcome remain my priorities. I want to give DIY suds a try and just ordered it. As a suggestion, I believe you should consider including additional suppliers to your links such as stores in Ontario, Quebec and even the Maritimes so that shipping cost and shipping time are possibly reduced for your subscribers and our clients. Keep up the good work, appreciate your expertise, insights and recommendations!! Regards, Edmond Martin
Thanks for the feedback Edmond. As a quick side note, I am very limited in the number of words in the video description, so I can't possibly add all those extra links. Also, just searching and including all those links is already a task that takes a lot of time (I have 1000 videos on my channel, so you can imagine). Producing a video takes me 10-15 hours on average. It's insane the amount of work that goes into making these.
Have a great weekend!
Great video Pan! I love the Turtle Wax and KocheChemie the best for my application but after seeing this video I’d love to try DIY Detail and Armor Detal Supply Shampoo Plus. I look forward to them. What is your personal favorite for your Porsche that you use most of the time besides Car Pro Reset?
Bilt Hamber Touch-Less when it’s very dirty. Reset in the bucket. Armour Detail Supply is growing on me. There are so many good choices really.
Thank you.
Pan for president 2024 🇺🇸 🎆 or at least congressman lol 😂
Let's go! :)
This will be tricky as Pan is Canadian 😂
There's no doubt that Bilt Hamber Touch-less is the best in the world. Strong cleaning power, can be used as a shampoo, and sugar-based so super eco-friendly. Nothing not to like, and latest formula is a higher concentrate.
He covered high PH soaps in first 5 minutes. This video is about ph neutral soaps that are used weekly mainly for lubrication on a contact wash and don’t degrade your coating/sealant/wax. BH would come in last place in this video and if you use it weekly you are crazy.
You seem to have skipped through the video, as I clearly spoke about this at the very beginning (first two minutes). This video focuses on the pH neutral, weekly wash type snow foams. The Bilt Hamber is a part of the higher pH snow foams that have higher cleaning potential, and that would be for another video. ;)
I am very thorough in my explanations in my videos, so please consider listening from beginning all the way until the end. I usually answer all the questions people might have.
But yes, Bilt Hamber Touch-Less is the best snow foam for pre-wash cleaning I have ever tested. It took home first place for my favourite snow foam of the year in my latest car detailing products awards video. I have used it in many videos.
Have a good weekend.
Usually don’t let my car get that dirty so really wouldn’t have a need for touchless. Maybe for a really dirty wash
Surprised to not see carpro product in the vid. Love the videos as always!
Thanks!
Hi Pan,thank you for your great videos, very informative, love your detailed info..love the car by the way!..I've seen some guys using RVs water filters,whats your opinion on that?..thanks
Thanks for the positive feedback! Yeah some guys might use RV water filters, but I haven't looked into those. If they deionize the water, then it's a good alternative. I just like my simple DI setup which I reviewed here: th-cam.com/video/IKNL1chAQXY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lmOTVl8dyk8ZeKer

I always pre rinse before foaming. Mostly because I pre-treat with bug remover. I live in central Oklahoma and drive on the highway all the time, bugs are a huge problem spring and summer.
Thanks for making this fun (and fair), makes me want to try them all!
Here is hoping you hit a million fan soon!
Fingers crossed! Thanks man!
Hi Sir, hoping that maybe you can give me an advice on what soap or brand to use on my foam canon and in contact washes as to what is best to use especially I only clean our vehicles outside sun since I dont have a garage. Sincerely Thank you in advance😊😊😊😊
The Auto Fanatic 007 featured here, and the Armour Detail Supply, can both be used outside in the sun. But ideally, always work in the shade on a cool surface, for the best user experience.
I have most of these products. Thank you Pan! However my favorite go to is Koch Chemie Super Foam! A bit pricey but well worth it. The fragrance is Sandalwood. I prefer German products for my BMWs, Mercedes and outlier Jaguar F-Type R.
Thanks for sharing! KCx Super Foam and Active Foam are excellent, but much higher pH. This video was all about pH neutral. :)
TW slick n slide and Gsf both work well as pre foams for me. But nothing beats carpro reset in terms of cleaning ability.
Reset is my favourite soap for the bucket by far. 👍🏻
Hi Pan, What happen to CarPro Reset? Depending on what I am doing with a car. Maintenance wash, DeCon wash, Prep for Ceramic Coating wash. I use all the CarPro line up of wash soaps. My basic maintenance wash is Prewash with rinseless wash, foam with Reset, rinse, foam with Reset and 1 bucket hand wash with either a little Reset or rinseless in the bucket. How is that am I over doing it? As always thank you for what you do. It is a pleasure watching your channel and learning tips and tricks in making car detailing great, fast, easy and a joy to do.
Reset is more commonly used in the bucket. Less as a snow. In the bucket, it’s still my favourite car soap for sure. 👍🏻
I use DIY Incredible Suds. Works fantastic and I would highly recommend everyone to try if you haven’t.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
I've used Mr Pink, GSF, and Adams Mega Foam and out of those three with the same pressure washer, I like the Adams. The smell and overall thick foam is a tad better imo. I don't have the strongest pressure washer so it tends to foam up a little better.
Thanks for sharing.
Mega foam has always been my go to. Great product, at bit on the high side of price, but always good quality.
Thanks for sharing.
I always look forward to “Saturday morning with Pan” Ty. As always great job with your solid explanations and attention to detail. It just so happens I picked up a chemical guys 16oz sticky snowball ultra snow foam yesterday. Truth be told I only made the purchase because the packaging was so attractive. 😂😂. What I really went to pick up was Chemical guys floor mat cleaner & protectant. Maybe you can put this floor mat cleaner & protectant up against your McKeeys product you like to use. I don’t usually purchase
Chemical guys but I do like a few of their products
Again thank you for “Saturday morning with Pan”
All the best.
Thanks Peter! I hope you'll have a great weekend.
Just as I begin my search for a snow foam for my washing routine, this video couldn't be better timing!
💪🏻👍🏻
Thanks for another amazing video!
I use the adam's mega foam, but my results were not nearly as good as the mega foam on yours because I have 1.3 GPM and hose water.
I would suggest for future videos (battles) to use a setup similar to the average weekend warrior because then the difference might be more apparent, I can hardly tell the difference here because they are all so good with your setup.
Ty great video as always . I purchased the Armour shampoo ++ through your link . I can’t wait to try it and make it snow.
I personally love Phoenix EOD good foam and like the bucket for the contact wash
It’s a top tier soap for sure!👍🏻
I use the Pheonix EOD and turtle wax soaps everyday in my mobile business. Turtle wax if I'm claying as I wash. Pheonix if it a maintenance clean.
Thanks for sharing David.
I'm relatively new to using a foam cannon. I did some online research and decided to try Chemical Guys Mr. Pink. It foamed well and left a nice shine on the car. Then I saw this video and decided to try Apex Auto Wash. Just as much much foam, just as much shine, but also leaves the car feeling smooth like it was just waxed. I will be switching over to this brand for my weekly, go to car soap.
Much better choice with the Apex Auto Wash. Good move!
I always use bilt hamber touchless. I wash once a week unless weather is too bad. Never had a problem with it in respect to LSP which in my case is soft 99 fusso coat. I find that the contact wash has a greater effect effect due to the mechanical action.
BH Touch-Less is the best pre-wash snow foam I have ever tested, and that's why it took first place in my yearly awards video for best snow foam. But it's a higher pH, and this video was only pH neutral. ;)
But even with the best pre-wash snow foam, you must ALWAYS follow up with a manual contact wash with a bucket and soap, as that is what really revives coatings and removes 100% of the remaining dirt.
Snow foams are just meant to remove a bulk of the loose dirt, debris, and grit, and start softening the grime and road film. That's 80% of the job. In an effort to reduce marring the paint during the remaining 20% of the job which is the contact wash. :)
Thanks Pan for that one. Very interesting as usual from you.I'm using GSF on my maintenance wash and was using C.Guys Honeydew before cause I bought a gallon 2 years ago..... I had to finished that one. I also used Mega Foam for maintenance pre-wash. With GSF I'm shooting the car of a nice blanket of foam & do the contact wash without rinsing it. Good results and good lubrification. For the coated car I'm using CarPro Lift (every month) and Reset afterward. Thanks again and keep on the good work!!!
Thanks Francois!
I am newer to "detailing" my vehicles. Silly question, after you foam do you handwash that foam with a mitt or do you simply spray it off and that is your wash?
While I want to keep my vehicles clean, I don't want to spend my entire weekend washing my vehicles and not spending time with my family. Thanks!
The snow foam is part of the pre-wash. You foam, let it dwell, and then rinse off. And then you can either re-foam and contact wash, or go straight to the hand wash. You always have to finish with a hand wash, it's the only way to get 100% clean results.

@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you!! I've only scratched the surfaces of your videos. haha
You'll get the detailing bug for sure hehe. I love detailing, it's soooo soothing and relaxing to me. And you have over 1000 videos to watch on my channel, with new ones added twice weekly (Wednesdays and Saturdays).
Enjoy!
What about if you have to use it under the sun because you have no choice. Then which one would you pick? Also if you have to use a garden house and bucket? No pressure washer.
Love the hybrid stuff , for the price and what it does you can't go wrong with them. I just started using the pure wash soap with a bit of apc for a pre wash and I really like it . Also use inside job for Interior love it. Staples in my business
Thanks for sharing, and have a good weekend!
I was a bit surprised when you mentioned the Adams should be used more as a prewash. I’ve been using it for my two bucket method. Nonetheless, always great to hear your expert perspective as I’m just a consumer
I actually asked Chris Gallahar, the main chemist at B&B which blends Adam's products, and here's his response:
"Adam’s Mega Foam is designed and intended to be aerated - so used via a Foam Cannon with a Pressure Washer or a Foam Gun with a standard Garden Hose. It basically requires that aeration from the Foam Cannon/Gun, and some pressure, to really get the ‘oomph’ out of the foaming. The Adam’s Mega Foam was launched primarily due to its intended usage with those other tools as a companion product, so it should be used as such. If you’re going with a bucket wash, I’d suggest reaching for any of the other formulas.
Will it work in a bucket wash? Technically, yes, but nothing miraculous. It would look paltry compared to any of the other shampoos, which are more designed around any of a 2-bucket wash or a foam cannon/gun because they’re using more standard, primary and secondary surfactant systems, whereas Adam’s Mega Foam is actually quite unique in its composition."
I hope this helps.
@@PanTheOrganizer this definitely helps. My understanding of prewash might be the issue. I thought prewash was the foaming of the car using the foam cannon then rinsing, just to get the initial dirt off the car. I apply foam again to the car prior to doing the contact wash using the two bucket method. From my understanding the Koch chemie gentle snow foam was a good pre wash when used in a foam cannon. I’ve been using Adams megafoam is my foam cannon and in the buckets.
With your suggestion I should keep the Adams for the foam cannon and add another product in the buckets for a contact wash, which I’ll look to do!
The TW slick and slide is amazing shampoo. Foam cannon it kills it, 1.5 oz in my liter size cannon bottle produces shave cream like foam and I can use a decontamination towel with it. It rinses so easy. Don’t wear flip flops on finished concrete surfaces or you will bust your butt, its that slick. My new favorite. Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
I think years ago, the difference between average and great products was miles wide. I remember using the cheapest wax possible on cars because there was no TH-cam, no podcasts, nothing. You just saw some old tin of wax in the garage and when that was gone, you went and got another one for $1.49. It might have given you a decent finish for a month or two, but that's all anyone expected it to last.
Now, the most pedestrian product in stores gives you better results than some of the most expensive products from 20 years ago. In terms of visual performance, other than thickness of the foam, I just don't see a whole lot of difference in any of these. It looks basically like a commodity product, these foams in the video anyway. They all look quite outstanding, and in light of the commodification of these, would just get the most cost effective foam.
I don't think you're *only* paying for marketing, because the chemistry will matter, but marketing costs will bake into the end product cost more than just about anything else. If you're doing paid work, not DIY work, a customer with a $100,000+ car will expect some degree of exclusivity in products. I don't expect that client to be satisfied knowing you used turtlewax. But if nobody is watching, I suspect the more value foam will work just fine. And if you're doing paid work, you could always buy the expensive stuff and just refill the bottle with cheaper stuff, like a budget cruise ship bar.
My cynicism about Chemical Guys is that the explosion of the product line is deliberate to crowd shelf space out at stores. It's sold at Walmart. And when you have 40 different SKUs to stock, it will just be a wall of Chemical Guys stuff, so everywhere you look, all you see is Chemical Guys. It's like how Bud Light comes in 6 pack bottles, 6 pack cans, 12 pack bottles and cans, 15 pack, 18 pack, 24 pack, etc...all the same beer, but the objective is to crowd out competitors.
You made good points here. I agree, products are CONSIDERABLY better than they were even 5-6 years ago. The competition is so high, that we as consumers benefit as brands have to make sure to keep pushing product innovation and quality to new heights if they want to earn our hard earned dollars.

Master, I love the sonax active foam energy, it is amazing product ❤❤
Another informative vlog, I did enjoy your your experiment of neutral pH vs high pH. It showed the cleaning power of the higher pH snow foam. Perhaps you might consider an experiment test of various neutral pH snow foam soap and the cleaning power of each on a dirty vehicle. I did appreciate you mentioning your top three in this video as far as lubricating when hand washing from a bucket.
I made a video of the 15 best pH neutral soaps here: th-cam.com/video/kWSQSpD0Rww/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZdjmVTgvG9EdMvGP
Once a good pre-wash is made, a pH neutral soap is usually all you'll need. Once in a while, you can use an acidic shampoo to remove limescale and mineral buildup and water spots (like CarPro Descale or Labocosmetica Purifica).
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan
As always great job! Had a off the wall question I regards to snow foams. I was wondering if you or anyone has used or know of a foam for the house. Ya know to help with removal of light dirt, and then possible come back with a brush. I know simple green makes a few outdoor cleaners. Any thoughts?
I have used the turtle wax pure wash in the foam cannon and it's awesome , thick foam and great to wash with and does hold on to the car really well.
Thanks for sharing.
Pan! Can you review BioHY car shampoo (German) I am trying to find cleaning products that are plastic / forever chemical safe for soils / plant life and this was top of the charts. Interested in your take! ❤
Never heard of that brand. If I get enough viewer requests for it, I'll look into it.
Just curious what coating you have on the car? I've watched tons of ceramic coating videos and can't remember any having hydrophobic as good as the side of your car. Appreciate all the vids Pan.
It’s one of the best professional grade coatings I have ever tested. I showed what it is and did the application in this video: th-cam.com/video/-9pVgjQFe1U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CXGle3tY9LKuTgyn
