Wow!! I was impressed by Reset and Mega foam. DIY might have the advantage here!
I had to bring the frozen hose in yesterday, so, no foaming for Me for a few months(unless a few warm days show up).
You never let us down, thanks Jeremy! I hope You are well.
Thanks Jay. That sounds cold. I will post some warm outside hawaii videos to keep the cold parts of the world entertained. Hahahaha.
@@HawaiiDetailing Sweet !! Looking forward to that!
Thanks for making this video Jeremy! They look basically identical
Side by side. I think the Mega Foam is cheaper in the long run but DIY has some solid products!
I agree. Thanks.
I like the ASMR aspect....
I recently tried Incredible Suds, I really like it. I do agree, it is really thick and requires some rinsing of the mixing cup to get all the product out. But it is a great product, awesome suds and slick on the paint. I like all the DIY Detail products, Yvan and Nick have really knocked it out of the park with all their products. Their Rinseless is awesome too, and I've even foamed it 😀
Great to hear. Thanks for watching
Thank you Jeremy!
Love the mega foam. I’ve used it for two years and has done great. I found using it on my house windows does an incredible job no streaking I was super impressed.
I use Adams car shampoo and absolutely love it
I have been using Adams and love it. If I need something else at timesI use Reset. But the DIY products have been getting a lot of play lately so I may just have to try them out.
Yeah give them a try. Good stuff. Thanks for watching
Both look fantastic for 1oz. Gotta select Mega Foam though, especially since you can regularly get the gallon for more in the $55 range.
Mega foam is good.
Good foam is definitely pleasing and part of the experience. Adam’s is king for foam no doubt. I lean towards using the same soap in canon as in bucket as it just streamlines the process for me.
Yeah. Good plan. Thanks for watching
Brother, honestly speaking, I've used both of these along with Mr. Pink and they foam really well, but they do not clean very well and do not lubricate very well in my honest opinion as compared to the soap I'll be mentioning next. Out of all the shampoos/soaps I've tried, the cheap Meguiar's Gold Glass does the best by far. It foams well enough, but when I move on to do my contact wash after foaming, it feels the smoothest/slickest by far meaning it lubricates the most and the cleaning power is ages above these soaps. I don't know why, but it just leaves my cars/trucks looking their best too. There's way more than just how much a soap foams. Stay up brotha! 🤘🏽🤙🏽
On foam they looks pretty even! As for cleaning, as long as they work! Good comparison and review!
Thanks.
Both are great soaps who will get the job done. In my opinion they both look very similar. Thank you for the video and I have some incredi suds being shipped out now. Now I have to try out the new Apex soap from Phoenix.
You will like it. Its good stuff
I just washed my 2011 Tacoma with the Ego Power Washer I recently got this weekend. That Adams Mega Foam is some awesome stuff mayne! I used a ounce per foam cannon fill, just as you seem to do in the video here and it smells great too! I'm not a fast person with the power washer, so I used a ounce per side of my truck. Great results, so glad I found your video and ordered that stuff too! =)
That’s great to hear. Glad you like it.
Just purchased the Adam's mega foam off their site. $65/gallon and they included an extra 16oz bottle for free. Using 25% off code, ended up getting 144oz for $48.75!
Thanks Jeremy, truly loved this review, me personally I love both of them👌
Thanks.
Jeremy, is it only me but it sounded like you were pouring a beer when you were filling up the foam cannons. 🤔🤔🤔
Hahahaha. Yeah I was pouring beers in the background. Hahahaa. Thanks
This dude knows how to party.
His editing skills surely are being well polished
Awesome video. DIY products are looking really good so far.
Great video review as always appreciate all the content.
Thanks.
Adam got it but not by much Both foam great but Adams stays on better Both are top tier soap's I only use Adams But now i like to try DIY . Great video not many foam soap's can hang with Adams to now DIY is just about neck n neck with the king Adam's Mega Foam I am impressed !👏
Yeah it’s a close one.
Your videos always inspire me to get my gear out and clean my cars, especially now that it’s not blisteringly hot in North Carolina. Where did you get a second bottle for the MJJC? I would love to be able to keep extra solution with a lid on it. You gotta start selling the stickers, they look sweet.
Good video, quick and informative, thank you. What was the "higher PH" cleaner you had there?
Thanks. Koch Chemie I put a link in the description for everyone to check out. Thanks.
According to Adam's safety data sheet, Mega Foam has a pH of 10 which makes it unsafe for ceramic coatings and sealants. Incredible Suds has a pH of 8.5, which makes the cut-off for pH balanced.
@@TheBreakfastLover Good info. If I remember correctly, every time you dilute a product on a scale of 10 it drops it 1 PH.
@@annagraham6204 that's correct in a perfectly soluble acid or base solution. But I've actually tested it myself and found that's not always the case. ObsessedGarage did a video of pH testing and found the same phenomenon.
I like how you did this comparison video. I am too much of a newbie to call a winner so I will try them both 👍
Yeah. You can’t go wrong. Thanks for watching
Adam's Mega Foam is king. I've tried so many and none compare. I've tried Chemical Guys Hydrl Sudz, Meguir's products, etc. What ever is in the Adam's is unbelievably consistent
Jeremy, absolutely you are on target Adams Mega consistently produces rich thick foam. Thanks for an excellent video
Thanks.
thx for the video, just got my pressure washer and wanted a good foam for my foam cannon. Ordered the Adams Mega Foam from Amazon from your link. =)
Thanks. It’s a good soap and foamer.
I use and like mega foam and like you I have a big truck and I need the soap to foam up and stick to the car as long as possible so i can get all the way around before it completely comes off
I can't seem to get the rich, thick foam like in your video. I'm using a decent foam canon with a 1.1 orifice and usually use 2 oz of Mr Pink and fill the rest with water. I run it through a 1300 electric pressure washer. Do I need to mix the soap and water better? Thanks for any help! Great channel !
@@jillneitzke2033 Mr pink is not a great foamer however it should do pretty good. It s usually a combination of soap quality and equipment quality. Even without top equipment it should still do ok??
I find the DIY superior except for cost and how much thicker it is than the Mega Foam. DIY is a shampoo and i believe Mega Foam is not. Smell goes to DIY for me. These are the 2 best foaming soaps on the market, can't go wrong...awesome page you got there, sir.
Thanks!!
Hi, I don't have a water filtration system at home. The city water is hard, so it leaves white water marks if I don't dry everything off. Is there a car soap that will help with that? Can I avoid not having to dry my windows and car? Car detailing is not what I do 🙂 Thank you!
Excellent video! Can you do another "detail for pennies" with SuperClean?? Does it works in foam for better cleaning?
Exterior wise as far as the foam?
lmao, the pouring sounds are hilarious!!! Great stuff
@@talkingwithcars thanks.
@ Happy Holidays !
@@talkingwithcars happy holidays
This channel needs more views, love all the content :)
Thank you.
Love the content this year on the channel man. I want to give this brand credit because Ivan is involved but not sure I like the how thick the soap poured. Now I haven't tried Mega Foam but would you agree that the DYI soap reminds you of Adam's Shampoo?
For me one of the best mousse and the autobrite magifoam!. Thick, creamy and long-lasting foam. And a strong anti-corrosion power. While after rinsing some brands of pre-wash foam corrosion appears quickly, this is not the case with autobrite magifoam.
Good to know. Thanks.
Great video!! could you make a video for people who wash the car in self car wash (Before you guys bit my throat, I only use the pressure water there) I live in NY and I love and really enjoy washing the car my self. Thanks for the channel!!
Yes. Thanks.
I have a question ? For a good detail do you just foam rinse then dry or is foaming just second step before you shampoo then dry ??? 🤘
If the car is really dirty consider a pre foam with a rinse. If it’s not that dirty I spray the foam and do a normal wash with the foam on there. It’s up to you.
hey i would like if possible to test out the bigboi foam R cannon out I am really interested in buying it instead of the mjcc
My two go-to soaps as well for 2022! 🤜🤛😎🇺🇸
Yeah both are good.
Jeremy . I really love Quick wax products Maquires mostly . Can you do a product comparison episode? Do you use quick waxes ? What do you think ?
Hey Hawaii can you do a review or comparison to Griot’s Garage Snow Foam soap? I’m about to pick up this megafoam to try out.
Will look into it. Thanks
How do you overcome the DIY Details shipping to Hawaii? Shipping costs more than the product sometimes.
Excellent Demonstration and Observations. Thanks!!
Outstanding video brother, Adam's Mega Foam is still the Champion but it is becoming more expensive. Thanks! 👍💪🇺🇲🇵🇷
Yes. It’s went up from $50 to $70.
When they say prewash do they mean use one type soap first then a different after? I have a 2023 Black chevrolet suburban i want to start washing myself i just purchased a On The Go Dual Bed Standard Deionizer and getting a MJJC Foam Cannon S V3 soon But what soap should i use the SUV sits outside and get that nasty sticky tree droppings what can i use to wash my truck and getbthis stuff off also would it be safe to wash once a week?
Check this out and let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching. www.hawaiidetailing.com/wash
What is the shelf life of these gallons after opening? I’m tempted to buy (and store properly) but I doubt I will use a gallon in 1year.
I am not sure. I can look into it and make a short vid about it. Great idea.
You should check out Stjarnagloss SNÖ foam prewash
With thes foams do you need to scrub with a wash cloth or does this clean without scrubbing and wash everything right off?
It’s a great way to remove some dirt but a contact wash is the best way to do it. I explain it all here. www.hawaiidetailing.com/wash
Great video, I'll try these out. Thanks. By the way, would these be good for cleaning bird poo, bat poo? Esp. when you don't use the car everyday and the poo goes hard and sticks to the paint. Or can you recommend a product
You want to get that off before it etches the paint. Use a rinseless wash and spot clean between washes. Here is a good one. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBXJX577/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_N3PY9RCT0BYF98P9FHKW?linkCode=ml2&tag=hawaiitesla08-20
Here is how to mix it up. www.hawaiidetailing.com/dillution
Thought you were going to take a gulp of the mega foam bottle for a second there HAHAHAHHAHA in all seriousness thanks for the no BS content you Provide on this channel, may you have a amazing thanksgiving with you and yours pal, cheers from CALI ☀️
Thanks a lot. Happy Thanksgiving
Will the mega foam work well with ceramic coated cars ?
Yes, absolutely
how do we buy the stickers (like on your foam cannon)?
Sweet Jesus, bonus ASMR content on the video!
Hahaha, let me clarify my stance on foaming …
Yes, I believe foaming is nonsense. I have stood by that since it was introduced and became popular. That does NOT mean I don’t use it. No, not professionally, but at home for sure. Yes, I use APC in the foam each time … because it IS silly without it imo.
More clarification; My experience has been that coated or waxed vehicles benefit more from a foam bath. But you can literally get the same results by a quick rinse off without adding that extra step. Thus, it’s nonsense because I mostly do maintenance washes. Foaming is not needed, adds time and cost to the detail.
I do not think foam thickness or dwell time makes any difference to the overall cleaning capability of any soap unless it’s a decon soap. I mean, maybe if you let the soap soak on the paint for an hour or so … maybe. But then, if you do, the soap dries on the paint and it’s a mess.
I am NOT advocating to stop using foam. Not at all. It has no place in my professional arsenal, but that’s me and my opinion. If it’s working for you, great! The point is to enjoy what you’re doing, right?
EDIT: I will be trying a few DIY Detail products in the near future. Because … why not?
EDIT: If you want to know what soap I use professionally, it’s PDP M91 Cherry Suds. It’s roughly $80 for 5 gallons (dilution = 1 ounce per gallon). Yeah, nobody has ever heard of it. For rinseless, I still use OnR.
😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing skull. What I meant with working time is I like to foam the car and make my way around with the wash mitt. The longer it hangs on the longer I have to get around the car with the mitt before it starts drying. It’s all just technique and we all have plenty of them. Hahahaha. I agree with you foam is a luxury. It one of the things that I enjoy when it makes sense. Thanks for always giving you perspective.
@@HawaiiDetailing I’m for anything that brings joy to detailing at home, I have a totally different outlook on detailing on a professional level.
😊😊😊
Love your videos mate. Great comparison.
Thanks.
I just got the incredible suds. It's too thick of a formula in my opinion. I wish that Nick and Ivan would have made something that pours into the cannon resevior with not too much residue in the measuring cup. Even though it's not a big deal to pour more water into the measuring cup and swishing it around to thin out the product and pour the remainder into the cannon, it's still a user experience issue. The thinner soaps that perform to this level are a better option for me personally, but hey, you can't argue that Incredible Suds is a solid performer in the cannon itself, especially when you use a quality foam cannon like the Griot's BOSS or their Brilliant Finish Foam Cannon (another exceptional foam cannon that doesn't get recognized as much as their more famous BOSS cannon). If they could revamp the foam density of the soap and thin it out considerably to allow for an easy pour, DIY would be at the top of the heap for sure. It performs well. Of course, Adams goes without saying. It's always been at the top of the foam game since it's release. Although even the Adam's soap is too thick in my opinion. This is why the new Pan The Organizer soap may be a future contender for a great soap. I haven't tried it personally YET, but I will be soon. From what I have seen on reviews so far, it's a really thin and very pourable concentrated soap. Of course it's brand new so we'll see how it performs over time and against some of the other recognized brands. I know Carbon Collective has a really good one (or at least they did a couple of years ago) which is very thin, very easy to pour into the measuring cup, leaving almost nothing left behind which is a big plus for me, and it foams great too. I don't know why these companies make a soap that is so thick it barely pours. That doesn't make a good user experience for anyone using it. Even if it does perform well. The problem with soaps that are too thick is that on the handheld foamers that you get on Amazon, they aren't going to perform all that well. The soap will get too thick in the cannon reservoir/bottle, and it will just sputter out the end of the foam sprayer you are using. Trust me, I have tried countless foam soaps in a hand held foam sprayer and you really need to have the correct chemical, or they just won't perform. I personally have found that using a very thin consistency soap works far better in the HAND HELD foam sprayers that are so popular now days. In addition, only one or two of them give you the performance that I would consider even to an "acceptable" level for most users at home. I have thrown away countless foam sprayers after just a couple of uses, either because they break (which is a LOT of them off of Amazon which mostly sells junk sprayers) or they simply don't perform that well at all and the solutions just sputters out the end with hardly any real foam, they are far too watery and don't produce hardly any foam, or the foam is so gosh darned thick, again, it just sputters out the end of the foam sprayer. Again, other people might be getting great results, but I have tried a bunch of the handheld foamers and you really don't want to skimp on buying a handheld foamer. Spend a few extra bucks (wait and save up if you have to) and get something like the IK. I know they are pricey, but really, it's only $10 more than the cheapo ones on Amazon. If you want something that is going to perform, even with these thicker types of foam soaps, the IK line of handheld foamers is your best bet. In fact, I am surprised that IK hasn't released their own version of a pressure washer foam cannon to compete against something like the MJJC V3, the MTM line, or the Griot's BOSS foam cannons which are three of the best performing foam cannons for pressure washers on the market today. They have dominated the handheld sprayer and pump up sprayer markets (at least in the detailing world) for years now. To be honest, I don't really care about the super thick shaving cream foam. Sometimes, it's far too aerated and just sits on the paint without really getting to the paintwork because it's mostly AIR. It looks fantastic for sure, but is it really performing the way it should be. You want the soap to loosen and get underneath of the grit and grime on the paint and then pull that contamination down to the ground and off the paint BEFORE you touch it with a wash mitt. I think a good balance of very thick foam, but enough water in the foam to sit there a second or two, loosen up the junk, and then pull that down is far better than super thick shaving cream foam that just sits there but never really PENETRATES the dirt and grime. By having it just a little more watery, it loosens and penetrates better in my opinion. Again, these are just my experiences over the many years I have been using a hand held foam sprayer, and/or foam cannon. Currently my two favorite cannons for the pressure washer are the Griot's BOSS, and the Griot's Brilliant Finish Foam Cannons. Both give exceptional foam. The BOSS is my favorite because of the metering tips which is a great innovation. I love just being able to hook up my product bottle right to the cannon using the metering tips and it draws whatever amount of chemical I need to foam up. It saves you so much wasted product. Why overmix up product only to pour it out or just use it up by spraying way more than you need onto the paint and just wasting it. I know the product makers love when you do that, but why do it if you don't have to. The metering tips are a game changer for sure. Griot's must have a patent on that system. If not, every other foam cannon maker would be doing it, which they should, because it's a great system. As far as a handheld foamer. Solo makes a really unique foamer with a variable wheel on it which allows you to adjust the amount of air mixing into the system when the foam is spraying giving you the ability to adjust the foam density coming out. It's a great feature and really allows you to adjust it so you get the best spray pattern coming out. And they are reasonably priced too. IK is still one of the best ones. I am excited they just released the new BATTERY POWERED handheld foamer with a small battery on the bottom of the sprayer. From the videos I have seen at SEMA, those things look incredible. Very thick foam with a really wide dispersal pattern which can cover a rim and tire in just one swipe across. They aren't cheap, but again, as they say "You get what you pay for". I'm not a guy who is brand loyal to anything. I just want the most efficient way to do whatever I am doing, and additionally, want a QUALITY product that will give me years of service. I am willing to pay for a quality product if it's built like a tank and will give me uncompromised performance throughout its service life. I am the same way with my chemicals. I don't care what they cost or what name brand it is, just give me something that works, and works exceptionally well, whether its cheap or expensive. Polishangel is a brand I use as an example. CRAZY expensive, but their products just work so gosh darned good, I am willing to pay for it. Swissvax is the same way, stupid expensive, but I still love their products. I am old school. I've been detailing my vehicles for about 45 years and I still love waxing my vehicles. I get people every day coming up to me asking what product I used to get my paint so brilliant and glossy with a mirror reflection. Most are shocked when I tell them it's a simple car wax I have been using for well over 30 years. Granted, I do keep my car garage kept, never drive it in bad weather if I can avoid it, and keep it in pristine condition. You don't need all these fancy ceramic coatings if you like to take care of your car. Just a great wax or sealant is plenty. Especially if you wash your vehicle weekly. Waxes and sealants perform exceptionally well, yes, even in 2024 when the world "CERAMIC" is all the rage. I do think a ceramic coating is a great idea for a daily driver. But for me, it's wax all the way. I'm also not a big fan of all this "touchless" washing as most of the chemicals used in a touchless game is stripping your waxes, sealants, and even some ceramic coatings right off your paint! They are very high PH or low PH soaps that strip off not only the dirt and grime (which they do well for sure) but they are also stripping the wax or sealant off your paint too. I told a friend of mine this the other day and he had no idea that he was stripping the wax he worked so hard to apply to the paint right off the paint the first wash he did with a touchless wash. Happy detailing ya'll. 🤪
Can you please make video about Kochchimie products. I have heard that Af prewash is beast.
I have a few and have more planned. Thanks.
Absolutely love the shirt dude! reminds me of the flash which I'm a huge fan of lol
I bought one of those shirts and they are actually really good quality I’ve washed it like 20 times haha
I like it too. Thanks.
You should try hotshot from shine supply against adams mega foam!
In the UK we're not fussed about how the foam looks - we only care about the net result, how much dirt has it taken off when it's rinsed. Less dirt left behind, less chances of swirls and marring. If anyone has ever used Bilt Hamber touch-less snow foam, you know how it punches anything on the market, nothing can touch it in performance and the amount of dirt it realises. It's not a thick foam and it doesn't need to be. It's a bit alkaline so it breaks down encrusted dirt like it's nothing. Adam's, P&S, Carpro, Gyeon, has nothing on Bilt Hamber touch-less snow foam! Prove me wrong.
So I’ve never used any of these foam soaps before. Do you not have to actually wash the car? Is it just spray n rinse?
It’s a pre wash. Check this out I explain my process. www.hawaiidetailing.com/wash
@@HawaiiDetailing
Thank you for the tips!
The same sound effect for all of the pouring had me cracking up 😂😂😂
Hahahaha.
How you tested which soap gives you the most suds from 1 oz in a 5 gallon bucket?
Not exactly. Will have to give a try and get back to you.
Adam's mega for the victory!!!!
Hello, what island are you on?
Seems like Adams Mega foam is mostly the winner in most videos I have watched so far. However I am in New Zealand. Would you happen to know what brand name Adams mega Foam carry here in Australasia? I have never seen Adams Mega Foam here in Auto Shop retailers. Thanks!
Not sure if they have a comparison product over there.
Did you spray with an air compressor or pressure washer ?
Pressure washer
Can you use foam cannon on car with ppf and ceramic coating?
Yes for sure.
@@HawaiiDetailing do you have a favorite pressure washing snub nose gun for washing cars?
Do you know of any biodegradable foaming car soaps that work good enough?
virtually all soaps are biodegradable, I wouldn't worry about it.
Love the video. I thought you were gonna snort it!
Hahahaha. Na.
Did you buy any of those on island or were they online. I know DIY Detail came out not to long ago.
I did not. I had them shipped. I put some links in the description. DIY offers 10% off with the code HAWAIIDETAILING
@@HawaiiDetailing Mahalo brotha!
Have you tried Carbon Collecttive Ultimus? Smells bad, but seems to be the best foam I’ve used.
Smells bad= not for this guy 😂
@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 🤣 it has a strong chemical smell. Similar to Bilt Hamber Touchless. You can’t smell it while foaming, only if you stick your nose on the bottle.
Have not tried it.
As much as you liked P&S Pearl, you like these two better? New subscriber, like your style :)
Thanks for subbing! Yeah. These are my favs.
Great job Jeremy!
Thanks
Incredible suds is actually pH Balanced not neutral. 🙏🏼
8.5 is the PH of DIY Detail Incredible Suds
Yeah something like that. Hahahaha. Let’s say middle of the PH scale.
The Adams seemed to of stuck longer and I prefer that
Yeah.
Nice! Keep it up
Ok I keep seeing Sid factory popping up on FB . Have you tried or tested any of their products?
No. They do a big advertisement campaign apparently. I see them too.
Snow foam that could slide off faster is better for me.
So only 1 ounce of adsms mega form for the foam cannon
It works great at 1oz. Depending on your setup and water up to 2oz maybe?? Have to try and see.
I love this dudes everything
Thanks.
@@HawaiiDetailing of course, please keep up the amazing work ! I like the videos a lot. Sometimes I wish you had a podcast or something where you just talked through out
Is mega foam ever gonna lose??
I don’t know. It’s good stuff.
More foam means cleaner?
Longer dwell time for the soap to work without drying. Longer working time while you wash. Oh looks cool too. Hahaha. Thanks for watching
@@HawaiiDetailing Excellent reasoning. I used to use cheaper soaps, and they almost have zero dwell time
The amount of foam does not tell you how well it cleans. The Incredible Suds has a slightly higher PH value at about 8.5, which is great for a pre-wash foam as it cleans a little better, while the Mega Foam has a somewhat lower PH but is designed to cling more. It depends on what you want from your foam cannon wash; the amount of foam alone is not what matters.
I agree mostly except with a higher PH pre wash scenario thin runny foam sheets off fast minimizing dwell time. Thick foam hangs on longer and dries slower allowing a much longer dwell time. This longer dwell time allows the product to work longer and be more effective. With a PH neutral soap - pre contact wash foam a thicker foam/longer dwell time = more time to make your way around the vehicle while washing without drying. A thin foam runs off fast and reduces your working time. If its too thin you will not make it all the way around the whole car before the drying/spotting starts. In a warm/hot climate this few extra minutes can make all the difference. Thats my thoughts.
Is that just the honeypot on the truck ? Looks like a nice bead there friend.
Sorry but chemical guys sticky snow ball is just as good as both of those, If not even better
DIY = $75 a gallon
CG's = $50 a gallon with high quality product and I save $25. Its just a win, win for me.
Yeah. Stick with what you like. That’s the most important thing.
Bro I missed your comparisons and" Versus tests" on chemicals
Come baaack!
Got some on the way. Thanks
Adams is definitely thicker and it looks like it took slower to roll off, even at eight times the speed! That stuff conquers everything..lol
I will stick with GFS or reset.
And what about Koch GSF?
That’s my favorite all around Wash soap. This was just about the foam cannon.
Great video brother just found your not too long ago.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks.
I've been doing mobile detailing for a few months and efficiency is something I really focus on. Sure it looks cool to do the whole snow foam thing, but I think it's a waste of time and I'm curious how you feel about it. The reason I say it's a waste of time is because when it comes to preventing scratches, foam isn't what's required, lubrication is! Foam is something you see in carpet and upholstery cleaners. It does that to get around the fibers to be able to lift dirt. It's also in our shampoos. But it's purely there because people like to lather up when washing their hair. It serves no cleaning purpose. And I imagine snow foam was introduced as a way to get more soap on the car when doing a 2-bucket method wash. Which, cool, but also, how very 1980s of us to still be washing a car that way, right?
It's been my experience that I can wash a car faster, with no scratches, and in the hot sun, spotless using a rinseless wash. I still use a pressure washer for the tires but I'm not prewashing the car with it. Not unless the vehicle is caked in dirt and grime.
So I would suggest that the soaps that you recommend are the best soaps for that particular wash method. But that the wash method itself is old fashioned, in the same way that applying paste wax is old fashioned. The actual best soap of the year, in my opinion, is WOLFGANG CONCOURS SERIES WG-1650 Uber SiO2 Rinseless Wash. The cleanliness and shininess that product produces literally stuns all of my customers. They can't stop looking at their vehicle it's so good.
But you tell me? Would you rather wash a car with 1 bucket with 2 gallons of distilled water + 1 oz of Wolfgang along with half a dozen microfiber towels (doing a version of the Gary Dean Method), where you wipe down and then immediately dry the vehicle one panel at a time, or do you want to have to rinse the car down first. Then foam the car. Then hand wash the car. Then rinse the car. Then apply some kind of wax/sealant/top coat? I mean, I know which one I'm picking.
As a business owner, I'm looking for the best, most efficient ways to get vehicles clean. From that perspective, is there ever a reason to use the older, slower method?
Coming from someone who’s been doing it since the 80’s I can tell you a few things …
Rinseless washing is NOT faster than traditional washing. I’m sorry TH-camrs, it’s just not. People with ignorant techniques often get confused with people who have smarter techniques. The one glaring “pro” that rinseless has over traditional is the cost per wash. Nothing beats rinseless for value. It’s not even close. More advantages over traditional is that rinseless wash can be used as interior cleaning solutions, including glass. Traditional soap? No. Please don’t try it.
Why use traditional? Well, like rinseless, it has its advantages. Like, for example, you get around the vehicles quicker if you’re not pre-rinsing, pre-foaming, rinsing, foaming again and … nonsense. The point I’m making, foam is NOT part of traditional washing. Never has been. Another “pro” for traditional is that it is a much better cleaner than ANY rinseless wash even if you use rinseless straight with no dilution, it’s just not as effective. This means you can clean wheels and tires fairly well with traditional soaps.
Super dirty vehicles. I’m sorry but rinseless washing a super dirty vehicle is just a bad time all around. Traditional washing is the way to go.
Which one is better, though? If you’re such a smart guy, tell us Skull … okay … neither. Each technique for washing vehicles have their place except for waterless washing, which I find absolutely pointless. Opinions. I reckon we all have them.

@@Reaper-Jim I mean, I did my entire exterior in 26 minutes which includes top coat and doesn't include tires. How fast could you do it? I've seen IMJOSHV technically do it in 10 minutes but he was rushing. I was going at a reasonable speed and paid attention to the details in a way he didn't. th-cam.com/video/AB3UrAFXork/w-d-xo.html
@@benlearnsgraciecombatives if I’m being extra extra extra careful, I’d say I can traditionally wash a vehicle in about 12-15 minutes.
EDIT: If it includes jams, wheels and tires and drying + wax/seal it runs about 30-35 minutes.
😊😊😊
I like my cars clean and not worry about some guy using a sponge on my car, don't care how long it takes, cleaning beats time every time. ONR always leaves dirty water on the car which drys and looks terrible.
@@roger4880 Everyone has to justify these things for themselves. I disagree with you about rinseless wash, but that’s what makes it all good … we do what we do.
😊😊😊
Really like the design and quality of your videos. The pouring noise was cool. You really could quit detailing and just create videos for hundreds of companies.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
Let's go 🔥👍🏿
Adams Mega foam
I'm now addicted to Incredible Suds. That stuff is amazing. 1 oz in a foam cannon and you have shaving cream.
It’s a thick foam for sure. I like the grape smell too.
I think many people put too much value in getting a shaving cream type foam and not enough value on how well the product cleans, what kind of shine it puts on the car, does it leave a smooth surface, does the water bead up on it after. Smell? That means nothing to me. I think if you really want value, you don't use either of these super expensive products. Apex Auto wash I think performs just as well if not better than these for much less money. At $40 a gallon I can't justify the cost of DIY or Adams. Of course, that's just my personal opinion.
Everyone wants something different in life. You can get away with a lot of things but good quality and enjoying the process is a big deal to most. As a pro you should be shopping at a place that fills gallon containers from 50 gallon drums at a discount. Brand your own bottles so the customer see a consistent professional look. These bulk products work hard and produce results in the right hands. For most car enthusiasts and home owners a high quality product that checks every single box with a top tier user experience is a better bet. No risk and Guaranteed results. Also a gallon of great product @ 1oz per cannon would last most non pro users a year at least so the price is far less of an issue. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and of course that’s my opinion too.
If never successfully did a touchless wash with a foam cannon.
It’s not the best way to do a wash. For it to really be effective you would need a high PH soap which is not good either.
Mega foam all day
Do they allow loud laughing in Hawaii or just a-lo-ha…. 😂 great video
