Epic Automotive Detailing, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
Great video Dave!
We have battled to get this formulation right for many years. The double rinse safety parameters and multiple gloss enhancing raw materials have never been used in this way on this type of product.
Really happy you have enjoyed this creation! ❤
Thanks Nick. Yeah honestly this is my favourite by far. The amount of time saved per car soon adds up over a month I get many hours back so it's win win
Is there a supplier in Australia for Yum Foam+ ?
@@MajesticKa1 i have the same question
I’ve just come across your page. Your content is fantastic, clear, useful advice, thanks.
I’ve been dabbling in valeting / detailing for a few years alongside my full time job as it’s something I love doing. I’m now watching your vids and getting so much out of it 👍
Thanks Richard 🙏🙏🙏
I started using Auto Finesse ceramic snow foam after washing and detailing my car last November.
I stopped using wax for the same reason you stated which was time verses outcome, especially during the cold winter months.
The results I am getting are as good if not better than using wax, I also found that they cover all of those hard to get to areas like door shuts and panel gaps in the body work which a wax would struggle to cover which in my book gives better protection.
I always fully rinse my wheel arches and I now use the product to spray these areas to provide even better protection for my car.
I will give this new product a go when my current ceramic snow foam has run out, thank you for another great video.
Best wishes
Awesome glad I'm not the only one who thinks wax is a waste of time 😁
I will be interested it how the Auto Finesse compares after you try this product.
Thank you for this very useful and informative video Dave. Those ceramic snow foams and nano sealants save so much time and effort.
I have been using a similar product from an Italian big brand for a few years in my cars. Initially I used fusso coat or meguiars ceramic wax. With each wash I applied this product. With a lack of time, I started using only the product as protection between washes and even stopped using sealant on the windows. Sometimes they go more than 2 months without washing, around 2500/3000km between washes, in conditions of heavy rain, mud, that sea air that leaves a film of salt... and even so, the protection is there when I wash again. At least 30/40 minutes I save on washing.
Honestly i don't remember the last time i apply wax in my cars😂 maybe 3 years or more.
I have to see if I can find a reseller that ships to my adress because I was curious to test it.
In respect for yumcars i will not tell what brand i'm talking but simple googling everyone can find easily.
Dave I always enjoy your videos. Keep the good work.
Lovely video, keep up the great work ❤ any more reviews in the pipeline on Yum’s ?
You wax a car to seal the paint surface and protect the finish. I live in Australia and it gets up to 45 c in summer. Cars that are not waxed have their top coat peeling in three years. I have a couple of cars and one of them is a 25-year-old Toyota Camry that lives outside in the elements. The paint, apart from life, with a few scratches is nearly in showroom condition, why? Because I wax it with a non-abrasive wax, not polish but wax.
I also live in tropical Australia and l agree,I wax 3 times a year with a copolymer, my 10 year old car looks like new
My car is 9 years old. When I first got it is spent a few days cleaning and waxing it. It still looks shiny and it can be cleaned at lot easier. I need to do it again.
Try a ceramic coating instead. There's better UV protection in it.
@@MrTheunsungvoice there's objectively no UV protection in any of these products and it's been tested over and over by people on youtube and reddit with the same exact results
It DOES protect "from UV" because it's still a coat on top, but the protection isn't "UV"
@@MrTheunsungvoiceI am using turtlewax ceramic , the green one..I.hope thats enough
My head hurts lol ! Excellent cant wait to try it. Thanks Andrew
Nice upload as always 😊, may give this one a go and have it as on optional extra .
Hi dave, I've been watching your videos for some time now and couldn't agree more with this video. Nick the owner of yum cars is a great guy, very knowledgeable and passionate with what he does. I was a avid autoglym user for many years but have since switched to yum products over the past year and the results are amazing, the products speak for themselves, nick is always on hand via social media or in person on the events he holds 1st Sunday of every month for any advice anyone may seek. For me it's simply a 25min drive to his unit to a resupply. Keep up the great work, cheers.
Yeah he's very passionate about car care. More so than me lol. I love the autoglym range . For me I just liked to keep trying new products from all brands but I always come back to the likes of yum, infinity wax , autoglym etc
Chris I really appreciate the kind words!!
Snow foam coatings are a game changer completely agree - especially for large cars/trucks. I like to do a coat of Garage Therapy Ceramic Shield spray on coating and then top up with the foam once a month. After six months, do a decon shampoo wash and then reapply CS and repeat. The Halfords ceramic foam is pretty good too - not much difference from Valet Pro Snow Shield.
Take my money..quick! Definitely going to try this on my car. Thanks for the video 👍
It's seriously brilliant 🔥
Once again Dave another fantastic and informative video keep them coming
Thanks Mark 😀
Great video, I do similar. After you have washed your car, get a 5 litre pump spray put 5 caps of Turtle wax ceramic wash and wax in, mix, fill up with 5 litres of water and spray away, rinse and repeat for layering if required. I use a 5 litre spray because it saves time and is easier than keep filling a small cannon up, and it’s very inexpensive.
Great tip will try that 👌
Seen a video project farm did on the turtle wax stuff. Looks impressive
Well done Dave. You are the first TH-cam detailer to promote the foaming ceramic coatings. I offer all my clients CarPro HydrO2 Foam (it comes as a spray concentrate and premixed version as well) as my final coating as part of the service. I charge more, but every 3 months or sooner I get all my clients calling for repeating the process. I tried to buy YUM but to get it to Australia is cost prohibitive. I mix it 1:15 in my foam cannon and I bought one just for this purpose. Lloyd
Oh nice I really do need to bring some carpro products on the channel
Brilliant Dave, I started following your channel about 2 months ago, and man have I learnt so much. I'm not into doing anything like a business but still for someone who want to show some pride in their cars. You are the main man with all the knowledge. Question Dave I'm living across the pond in Ireland. After watching you it's given me belief at almost 60 I need to buy a decent power washer. The amount of cash I spend between going to the garage and just paying to use their equipment, plus I can get it detailed sometimes twice a year. I have seen most of your reviews on power washers, but I understand you need to try and keep most of the companies somewhat happy in what and how you say something. I need a good recommendation on what power washers I should be looking for, where overtime I can add to it. Just remember, in Ireland, we wouldn't have a big market for reconditioned washers
Even if you could give me 3 options, a max budget to get me stared of maybe €600 that's roughly £525. Again THANK YOU. YOU THE MAN
thank you. Honestly my favourite pressure washers from the channel would be any of the ava EASY Range, nilfisk p180. Ive just got the new updated ava p80 master but have no idea how it will perform just yet
In a business context, these are amazing. Cheap, quick, easy to apply with good results. I tried autoglym polar series, and really didn't like it, the way it worked , how it looked next to wax/spray wax / rinse wax, and how long it lasted. I also didn't like it coating the front glass either. I felt like I lost control of the process, but I see Bilt Hmaber has a refomulation of touch on. This can be applied a few ways, and this might be my new winter wax top up :) Also works with touch less. For the record I do still love the TW rinse n shine and gyeon wet wax.
So do you do a normal wash first? Do you need to use a specific soap before adding yum?
Been using this for a few months and I love it, easy to apply and great results 👍
Just ordered this product! Looks too good to be true 😍. Will look forward to using this 👌🏻
It's 100% epic I love it
Waxing, for me, is one of the more satisfying jobs. And the job one I look forward to the most after a clay bar. The band I use smells, and works phenomanally. However, this product also looks great, and would love to try it in the future.
I have been using Gyeon products of late with there wetcoat which is awesome and also Gyeon bathe which is the same as the YUM product you are showing .
I agree it's much easier than using a wax even thou i miss the buffing off to see that gleam .
I really like your videos and I subbed. I have a question if you have time. Last weekend I washed my car and then used spray wax on it. It looks good, but now I want to use paste wax. Is it OK to put paste wax over the spray wax? Or should I just wash the car again to get the spray wax off, then start with paste wax. Thanks for your advice.
I'd be interested to know how this compares to Autoglym Polar Seal? I'm about to buy either but not sure which is better.
I clay barred both of our vehicles and then used ceramic spray. It lasted six months through the winter here in Seattle. I’m amazed that the water was still beading after the whole winter. I’m going to try your method this spring. Guess I need a foam gun. Thanks
The reason I used waxes before going onto ceramic coatings was the slickness and the gloss shine. There is a difference between wax and ceramic coatings as to the depth in gloss.The spray your putting on looks to be more of a water repellent? What is the gloss on the paint compared with this product to a wax? or a ceramic coating?
Would just like to ask if you spray all over dose this make the windscreen smeary when it rains at night?
I’ve previously used Autobrite’s top gloss and whilst the results were great, similar to those in the video. I found that it actually dried out the rubber for my window seals which lead to a noise I can only describe as a soft creak when going up and down my drive. With your experience anything with “gloss” effect drys out rubber seals? Which is why I’ve always spent the extra time hand waxing then add a quick detailer on top after.
Question, i know you dont 'need' a expensive camera to make detailing videos. But if i wanted to make cool "through the process" videos, and maybe cool edits, would it be worth it buying a $1,000 camera? Or is that just a luxury. Second question is what editing platform are you using?
I agree, I used the meguiar's ceramic spray in the blue bottle. Exactly the same job at the paste carnuba wax.
The instruction advise first time you should dry the product with a finishing towel.
To make 1 bottle go far, I always gently mist over the paintwork and buff it in.
Washing off is not as effective IMO.
You csnt towel dry the foam, but the ceramic spray wax you can
I don't recall you saying how durable or long lasting the finish is with this approach (which I love). Or is it more intended that using this for each wash keeps the protections for as long as you keep washing your car?
I love waxing a car, i enjoy the process but only on my own car. I feel wax gives bit more of a wet gloss look then a spray on sealant. But for anyone elses car you cant beat a ceramic sealant for that gloss and quick protection. Autoglym polar seal or mile deep shield are the same as this and both my go to product for ceramic sealants. Thanks for sharing Dave 👍
Not the same but offer a similar user application method 😀
@@YumCars what is the difference out of interest, just so I can compare in the future if I buy some.
Polar seal isn't ceramic, I think it's wax based?
@@benbirch2393 it's still a protection product and imo one of the best for protection out of a foam cannon 👍
Been using this stuff for quite a while…I find it very good…use yum foam first…then a hand wash finished with foam+. Can use the detailing spray or ceramic spray occasionally on maintenance washers
❤
I've used Gyeon Wetcoat for about a year now and I find the results to be brilliant, how long does foam plus typically last until you no longer see beading?
Are there similar products like this on the market or is this like a first of it’s kind? Either way it looks amazing even just for the time saving aspect, let alone the incredible results. Will definitely be getting some 🙌🏼
Will this stand up to a bilt hamber auto foam ? Thanks
You took the spray and rinse sealant like meguiars hybrid ceramic spray (if you follow the instructions, I’ll hand apply it) and made it way better! This is great for mobile waxing for sure!
Great video dave👍, I think when it comes to waxing your car it’s down to preference? Some like the idea of taking time to go over every panel and buff to a shine. And some like the quicker way with spray wax if they are in a hurry? Also if you’re lucky enough to have a large garage? After washing and drying you can back the car in and shut the doors to keep the atmospheric dust from landing on the freshly waxed surface.
Mohs evo topped with cancoat evo topped with Q2 Wax. Best combo I have ever used on a ruby red pearl. ZERO ceramic coating can compare to the looks of a good wax period. Luckily Gyeons Q2 Wax is designed to work over ceramic coatings and NOT clog them up. Actually more hydrophobic than most coatings anyway due to the polysilazane (im sure i butchered the spelling).
Hi @epicautomotivedetailing
How does this compare to Hydro2 foam, also you don't/ever get streaks at all?
Thanks
Have you tried Koch Chemie's Protector Wax? Would love to know how it stacks up
Do they ship to Canada? I tried to order but is says no shipping options available.
i use the Bilt Hmaner touch on! brilliant! my go to now for protection on all washes
That last point you made was actually really good.
I ceramic coated my car but still use something every wash, which might even degrade the performance tbh.
Toppers on coatings are a must. So well done for doing this.
@@YumCars doesn’t it take on the properties of the stuff on top? Its not very often recommended to layer stuff on top of a well performing coating.
@@Zoranurai13I was under the same impression
Been using Auto Finesse's Lavish for a few years now. Similar stuff it seems. I use it particularly in winter when I just can't stand being outside that much. So I do a rinse to get mud and stuff off, then Bilt Hamber Surfex HD, then BH Touch-Less, then the BH Korosol, then a good rinse again, then the Lavish. It clearly isn't detailing it, but it just makes the car look presentable without even touching it, and it takes about an hour. Perhaps you could do a video (if you haven't) - is it possible to get a car looking good without touching it?
I still use many different ceramic wax’s etc, fusso, alchemy mainly for longevity. Gtechniq crystal serum light with Exo etc I use infinity wax Synergy boost for my maintenance clients via a foam gun. Same method. How would you compare this Yum + To synergy ?
Dave, you've not used Bilt Hamber Touch-on shampoo, it's versatile, meaning you can use it in a snowfoamer, spray bottle or wash bucket. The beadage is insane 🙌 You now can get it in a 1ltr bottle for around £18 don't quote me though
Please correct me if I'm wrong but this snow foam is used after washing the car and is there any need to dry with a towel after applying Yum?
Hello yes this foam is applied after the rinse stage after the contact wash. Still use towel and dry after though for best results
Sounds a great Product! I use Gyeon Wet Coat… which beads as much as the Yum product… and provides a good level of protection!
What are your thoughts on this product for paint protection? I have always waxed cars to protect my paint and I wash my cars weekly. Am I still better ceramic coating my car and then using a product like this to ensure the longevity of the coating maybe as you said at a half strength.
ceramic coatings deliver in a different technology and chemistry, resin and solvent delivery systems. Foam+ is a water activated and delivered product that works great as a topper on coated vehicles with the most important benefit of cross linking with the base layer rather than sitting on top like make up.
Ive been using the new Infinity Wax express sealent ,giving a great finish and theyre saying 2-3 months protection
I've been using a similar product from Kosh chemie, it's called Protector Wax, but they have a dedicated snow foam aswell
After every single wash I apply meguires ceramic spray wax, after the first base application the maintenance spray and rinse is so cheap and easy, and I swear the shine just keeps getting wetter looking as the week goes on! I can’t imagine anything else I’d need to swap to as it’s perfect, for me!! I even use it on my digger!!
Nice one yeah it's not bad stuff. Works better in the summer I feel
Yes this product is a game changer. The cheaper brands are cheap for a reason, ive tried them and this has added gloss enhancers. The difference is night and day 👌👌👌
Yeah it's pretty epic
Appreciate you Harry! Happy you are loving the experience ❤
That’s incredible.
Great video, as always. 👍
I’m definitely gonna try this.
I’m not in the business but have always used the best that I could afford on my cars.
My current regime is B&H Auto Foam or Touch-Less (during winter, that’s all for most washes), then AG UHD shampoo and at waxing time, it’s Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax.
In between’s get Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic spray or Turtle Wax’s version. 🐢
What I will add, is that on the perfect day, there’s nothing more enjoyable about hand waxing your pride and joy.
It’s therapeutic. 😁
I think it depends on where the car is park, if you have sprinklers and heavy water the best is a wax... Is important to get the take care info of your clients before? Anyway great videos. Greatings from Chile
I have always waxed my cars, but with my latest car, my ceramic coated M2, I have simply been using a mixture of 1 part P&S dream maker with 9 parts P&S bead maker.
As I wash my car every week, longevity of the product isn't a factor.
The two products mixed and applied from a hand spray, only needs a tiny amount of misting on the panel, and it doesn't matter if it's boiling hot or freezing cold, it seems exactly the same.
Beading to die for, and a lovely gloss.
No rubbing, no buffing, literally mist a panel and spread the product out. Once every panel is done, a quick once-over with a quality soft microfibre to just remove any slight haze, and that's it.
I know it wont last long, but it doesn't matter as I do it every week. I have used about 100ml of product after 4 applications.
@ DjNiknas may I ask where you would recommend to purchase a soft good quality Microfiber Cloth! It's like a minefield!
@@justonemorego4079 It is a minefield.
But there is also far too much 'bro' science' and bs too.
You can spend a fortune on microfibre cloths, but are they really any better ?
I buy Halfords brand, because they are cheap, but feel quite soft, and I have not had any issues. I think it's more important to use clean cloths, and don't use the same one for different tasks. I buy 10 cloths for about £7, so when they start to look worn, it's cheap to just buy another 10 new ones.
I cut the labels off, and try not to let the edges contact the paint, as those two things are the most likely to cause any slight scratches or marring.
Don't get caught up in the microfibre pile rating, it's easy to spend far too much on cloths and waste a lot of money. Just use your common sense, and feel the cloth, if it's soft and has a decent pile, it will be fine mate !
I think the most important thing is to use the same cloths for the same tasks (if you buy multi coloured packs, you can use the same colours for the same tasks so you don't get mixed up, like blue for glass cleaning, orange for paint, etc.
Hope this helps, I have been detailing for many years, and it's very easy to get caught up in the hype, and spend a LOT of money, when really it is not necessary mate.
When I bought my car two years ago I had them to coat it with Guardx. I can honestly say that I only pre wash then hand wash rinse and dry. Guardx say they give it a lifetime guarantee. It is expensive but worth it!
Great review Dave i wonder if you could use turtle wax hybrid pro flex wax in this way in a snow foam lance and get similar results only asking as this product at £25 for 500ml is expensive so if turtle wax could do the same It would be much much cheaper than this stuff.
You can try the Gyeon Q2M wet coat for 15£ 500ml. It's enough for 15 cars and takes less time
Need a video for Matte-Satin Finishes. Sprays, Foams, Detailers etc...
Love the channel need more content on Matte Finishes.
Hello I have a video on a satin mercedes gtr 🙏🙂
Angelwax in Scotland do a Matte shampoo, QD and Wax. I bought the shampoo & QD last week and they are very good my Matte Mountain bike is looking good as new. My mate has just bought a Matte motorbike so that will be next.
I'm guessing this is similar to Carpro's HydroFoam (part of the Hydro lineup, which is their ceramic sealant, and comes in a number of forms/concentrations). We don't have Yum products in my country but we get Carpro. I recently went through the same thought process as you - my father's car is 20+ years old and hasn't been well maintained for ages now. Our country is tropical and very hot; people used to use synthetic liquid waxes for a long time but nowadays graphene and ceramic spray sealants are the rage. I used Gyeon Wet Coat on my father's car because I already had it (I use it for my wheels) but will probably get HydroFoam in the future. I don't like waxes for my dad's car - it's a black car and it's 38C in the sun for us humans - any wax will be getting boiled on that black paint!
My own car is ceramic coated with Carpro CQuartz Pro, my maintenance wash routine is prewash with Koch Chemie GSF, contact wash with Carpro Reset, and then yes I actually do simply dry it without a finisher 😂 Reset does wonders already. Every 2 months I top the car up with Carpro Reload as a finisher. I don't like to put any other sealants on the paintwork, nothing compares to the slickness of the ceramic coating (regularly topped up by Reload) so far.
I wax for the water beading not the gloss so this would save me so much time. Would it work for bucket wash though or it is strictly for foam cannon?
Actually love the question and I will try it now
I like to wax the car in the spring and for autumn and winter I clear it off and use a ceramic sealant like Flex Wax which I top up with weekly washes. I just like applying wax for the warmer months, the sunny days. I don’t know why. I think it’s just that feeling of spending a few hours outside, polishing and waxing. Something comforting about it.
Yeah true some people enjoy the waxing process I definitely can relate but I'm getting older now so like the easy way now lol
I haven't used any ceramic foam-sprays, but the stuff after the wash is working just as well... I mean the spray-bottle ones, which you spray and wash off.
My car has recently had coat of Yum Ceramic sealant followed by yum wax the following day. The next wash will be topped with yum foam+. It's fantastic stuff. Great video.
Yeah I love it. Seriously don't think I'll be waxing the car again for a long time
@@epicautomotivedetailing I agree, I'll just keep it topped up with foam+ monthly. 👍
@@jamesclifford3222 Thanks James!
Dave, I wax my car every week and it has a ceramic coating. Can you honestly recommend this Yum product? And can you apply it over existing products
Why do you wax your car every week?
Amazing product which Yum have put their enviable skills and experience into.
Yum + works perfectly alongside all their products to give the perfect finish every time.
One other positive for using as a snow foam is that all surfaces where water runs, are given a coat of protection 👍
Yeah it's mega 👌
Thank you Paul!
Loving these vids but have a question I'm a beginner and just looking to buy all the stuff i need to give my car a good monthly clean, this looks nice and easy with good results. When you say yiu skip the was stages, what are we skipping: rinse, wheel cleaner, pre wash, foam, shampoo and then this or ahoild i be polishing too?
Thank you yes I skipped the wash stage for the video meaning I didn't film it as people came for the product not the entire clean
Would you use Yum Detailer after using Foam+ when towel drying?
Yes! The detail spray is the drying aid during the drying stage which offers a safety slickness buffer between the towel and the paint.
I have been using synthetic wax (ceramic). Works like magic and stays for very long. Some issues, like you mentioned, is that washing the car most likely means having to reapply the coating, which takes at least half an hour every time.
My work-around is to not wash the car too often. Instead I keep a couple of microfiber towels in the car, and when I see that dirt has started to amass I take about 5 minutes to wipe it all off and wash the cloth. Not using car-schampoo all the time would also maintain the coating for longer. But if you drive everyday and in dustier terrain I think applying ceramic wax after every wash is silly, unless you of course really doing the manual work.
So after the use of this product do you still dry it with microfibre towel? Or leave it after the 2nd rinse?
always dry for best results
Looks very similar to polar shield and bilt hamber touch on?
best way to see for yourself is buy all 3 and test 😀
So this would work as a top coat to my Car Pro C Quartz UK 3.0? I had been using Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray as a top coat instead of Car Pro Reload
Yes it would ❤
What is a good Idea for Extreme Heat? Like 110 with 100% humidity
For my daily and my overland Jeeps, spray on/rinse off sealants are great. But i use a wax on my MINI twice a year, topped up by a spray wax every other wash. I am adamant the wax gives a deeper shine and better hydrophobics.
How this compares to the Wet Coat in terms of ease of use, time to apply and cost per use?
Seeing as this is a foam application a lot easier and faster
Cost per use is no comparison as it is a concentrate rather than a ready to use. 100ml in the foam cannon will actually get you 2 applications
And also this does not water spot as foam+ has an inbuilt safety factor
This looks good, iv just started washing my car again seriously. Use citrus pre wash and autoglym snow foam, chemical guys shampoo and wheel cleaner then autoglym Polar Seal after. Always looks great but always want to try new stuff. This stuff looks great.
Yeah it's soooo good, for me until summer comes along I'm happy just keeping cleans simple. No chance of keeping my car immaculate when we have such bad weather like this
That's true, I'm in Northern Ireland and it rains 99% of the time lol. @@epicautomotivedetailing
Fantastic video Dave. Mine is being delivered today I think. When you say 2nd rinse, I don’t apply Foqm+ again do I? Do you mean rinse off the first time then go round the car giving it a second spray of water?
sorry no i mean rinse the foam+ off and as you do that you'll see a faint film so in otherwords be extra thorough to get the full effects
Excellent video. Your last point is the main one for me. In UK May, i enjoy pratting around for a whole day doing decon, bit of srp, and a wax. But in 3c winter which psychopath is doing any of that 'for fun'? And no lsp will bond properly anyway, so Yum foam (or equivalent) is the perfect monthly solution. I love washing my car, but i do have my limits.
Also, my apologies to people who i just described as a psychopath as they may consider themselves dedicated. Nope😅
Lol very true
Hi good looking product. Can I ask after application of Foam+ would u recommend to use Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection?
No need foam + already protects
yeah I've used this and your absolutely right it's amazing
Nice I've only been using it for a few months but it's definitely brilliant
❤
I tend to use EZ Car Care Elixir as you only need to add 5ml of product to 500ml of water.
My only concern is the actual level of protection it gives. I understand it is good for adding a hydrophobic layer but in terms of actual protection it is nothing compared to a proper ceramic sealant.
I'd say it's good to use to top up protection over a ceramic sealant but on its own it doesn't actually provide much protection.
Awesome content. The only thing I would worry about is whether or not that product protects against UV rays which is ultimately the silent killer of paint. Personally, I do turtle wax seal and shine followed by ice wax two weeks later and maintained with P&S bead maker. Results are phenomenall
Some do protect some don't. This one does
Cant wait try this product out, got it in my mystery box from YumCars 😁
Oh nice yeah this one is mega. There's many different brands with similar products but this one just feels quality. I may feature some more like this next month
Thanks! Once I discovered the ceramic/wax sprays I’ve never gone back to waxing.
I use freshchameleon ceramic foam on my fiesta I use to commute to work and it gives good result for very little effort and only £17.45 for 1 litre of it
so am i right in guessing once you apply a wax rinse to a car there is no need to dry the car off after? wouldnt that look horrid to a customer seeing there car still wet?
You have to dry the car after but it takes a fraction of the time to dry for the sake of a few seconds to switch foam cannon
Hi Dave,
Great material. Thank you. A big fan of your work.
How does this compare with Autobrite Direct Ceramic Magiseal please? Are they doing the same thing?
Anyone here used both? What are the differences please, if you had the chance to test them.
Many thanks
I havent tried that one to be honest. Thank you
I do Wox for protection mostly. And I do use fuso for that reason. But I use spray selabt too.
ok, this is all well and good, but what does it do to glass? I've experienced problems in the past with dodgy chemicals in window washer bottles, coating the front or rear window ... and then it rains and you put on the wipers and they smear or squeak because the chemical creates a surface on the glass that is too slippery, and it becomes a nightmare to remove the chemicals from the window ... it's an honest question, does this cause similar problems with wipers on glass if it's raining?
I used it today, then it rained and no problems. Some manufacturers say avoid glass
Im a valeter and use foam plus its good . Plus it dont build up on car like some when u end up with bad finish after time.
Happy you are enjoying it!
The build up you are 100% right on, most products act as a make up on the clearcoat whereas Foam+ chemically cross links with the clearcoat. This is why you see a different level of hydrophobics, actually gloss increase and it will never clog itself
@@YumCars yes i saw you say in video about it and i used it alot so see myself i try other makes and most are harder to work with or leave not amazing finish
@@robrobinson420 In real life use you can really notice the cross linking.
@@YumCars i see it works better than most other. And paint dont get cloudy or blocked up. I use it in spray bottle then once rinse use your detail spray 👍
I wash my car as normal , fibre towel dry then use madcow spray gloss ceramic spray, simply spray on spread around then another towel to rub off
Looks a fantastic product! How would you tie this in with polishing the car?
Paint correct and protect your car as usual, use Foam+ as the future topper on future washes.
@YumCars cheers guys
I enjoy waxing my car which is why I use hand wax. Can’t beat Koch Chemie hand wax W0.01, with maintenance washes topped up with Protectorwax after. Some great products tested there though.
Perfect video! I use bilt hamber touch on, that works as good as this foam+, if not better. Could also be cheaper (not sure though)
Have you tried both?
Great idea!
Looks like a game changer….we finish our Maintenance valets on ceramic protected cars with CarPro ReLoad, to add that bit extra protection and give those Hydrophobic properties….this looks like it does exactly the same without the worry of streaking on dark paints….👍👌🇮🇲
Can anyone compare this to Bilt Hamber Touch-On? Thx
Just ordered 500ml through the link, will definitely only be using 50ml to start with though because it’s a little pricey. But if you’ve time to answer a question, is that 50ml to 950ml (19:1) and which setting do you use as a rule on the AVA gun (I use the same one)
Oh nice one 😀, 1:9 i use in my Ava foam cannon. So 100ml of product with 900ml water for the first application. After that just half it down for regular cleans 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thanks, should help eek it out a bit, look forward to it arriving and a decent day here in the Lakes to use it 👍
@@Piner5074 we had clouds today but so windy
100ml on the initial application and 50ml of future toppers.
The remaining 400ml at 50ml per application gives you 8 applications, every hit at 50ml will give you around 8 weeks so that works to around 64 weeks of total protection. So it is extremely economical and at 5L these numbers increase exponentially.
Hope this helps.
I bought my car 6 weeks ago,before delivery it had been ceramic waxed using autoglym,can I use this product over the top? The results on video looks amazing
Yes this its incredible. The results look better in real life
@@epicautomotivedetailing love the channel,keep up the good work 👍
