I have used 50/75ml and 450ml water in a kranzle jet wash.

Works well.

What dilution ratio are you using? Also it helps to use warm water in your lance

Hi, thank you for replying. I’m using 1/10 in the litre balance bottle. I’ve tried warm and cold water no difference.

 

[imprezaworks]

What other foams and pre washes do you have or use

Maybe I should up the ratio to 2/10 as per you?

Non. I did get some tfr which I sometimes spray over before putting the snow foam on. Apart from that I’m a little idiotic to this!
Ps I tried that britemax Aio, it’s awesome!!

 

[imprezaworks]

Give it a go mate yeah. For best cleaning I would opt for bilt hamber auto foam. Not tried anything that beats that really.

Power maxed tfr is pretty decent too tbf

Not idiotic at all mate. Tbh most snow foams are crap, but looks good ha ha.

I’ll get through this stuff and pick up some power maxxed too, then I’ll get some bilt hamber stuff.
Thank you!

 

[imprezaworks]

Fun part is trying new stuff mate.

@Hxrry may be able to help you out with some of his pre wash to try. Been meaning to buy some myself.

 

[Fantastic Nostrils]

Need a couple of new things to try. Wont go mental as Black Friday is on the horizon.

New PH Neutral Snow Foam. Tried BH AF, WP 8 Below and a bunch of others already.

Spray/Foam on Sealants. Always loved AG Polar Seal. Anything better?

 

[SC03OTT]

I’m planning on giving the Hydro2 foam a try. Not to use as a cleaning product but as a protection top up in between my full decon washes in March and September. I dunno, might be a daft idea but I’m gonna try it anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

saw that mentioned on Detailingworld. I know snow foam is a big topic but foaming on protection does sound quite fun 🤣

Come to think of it, I also need a new foam lance bottle (or 3....)

Anyone used autofinnese imperial wheel cleaner?
How does it compare to bilberry??

 

[imprezaworks]

I haven't but my wheel cleaner of choice would be autosmart smart wheels.

I have a TFR that takes some beating, use it on all my trade valets and sometimes on customers cars that are really bad.

Haven't released it yet because it seems frowned upon by detailers to use TFR lol

 

[imprezaworks]

How much is your tfr mate

 

[Hxrry]

I’ll get through this stuff and pick up some power maxxed too, then I’ll get some bilt hamber stuff.
Thank you!

If I'm being honest, snowfoams are good but citrus based pre-washes are far superior. I did a video on my socials (albeit not the best quality) trying to demonstrate a 50/50 of Citrus Blast against not using any pre-wash at all. Left half was coming up great but the other side wasn't shifting any dirt at all!

Video should be on my instagram somewhere - sowaxdetailing

I think also with using a K1, you're not going to get the thickest foam.

 

[Hxrry]

How much is your tfr mate

Haven't ever looked into selling any for the reasons i mentioned above. I may be able to throw a sample in for you if you place an order in the future?

 

[imprezaworks]

For sure. Will await the black friday sale haha. I need some more detail spray too

Yes mate, a lot of people are waiting for Black Friday sales lol. Going to be great

 

[Fantastic Nostrils]

Just got back from Valetpro and the bloody autosmart man arrives....balls

 

[imprezaworks]

Have you used the moose before. Think it was a bit dear last time i asked,? /?

 

[Fantastic Nostrils]

nope. new one to me. Yeah, it was a bit dear tbh. I wanna say it was £30 or so for the 5L which is a good tenner over BH AF. I just wanted to give it a shot as im getting a bit pissed off with AF and how it rinses

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah thought around that.

 

[Fantastic Nostrils]

excited to try that Reload though. was quite a bit dearer than Polar Seal but the ratio is bonkers. perfect for winter splash and dashing

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't spend all your money, save some for me lol

Jokes aside, that's a b*stard bargain!

 

[imprezaworks]

£32 delivered for all that. Same seller.

Fair play, you've got the put the effort in to find these deals but it's worth it in the end! Nice grab.

Be interesting to hear what you think about them. Seen them for sale in halfords the other day and thought they were expensive.

 

[imprezaworks]

Max bid 15 and leave it be.

 

[Hxrry]

Smashing these 'Winter Protection' details this month! Is it work when you love your job??

That's a bargain. All fusso stuff does perform. It's just some take a tad more effort. They remind me of a budget kamikaze!

Clean your car offering free can coat with 75 spend.

Worth a go at that money. Not that I need any of it. 👍

What's the best prep for cancoat.


Also I out my BH finis over AF tripple and I don't think it has lasted that well. Is that user error? Or I think even the TW sealant I used wasn't removed properly maybe.

 

[Gally]

The triple will be failing and take the other with it. Nothing wrong with that. Triple will not last in this weather. DSW on a clean base or cleanser will do 6 months standing on its head.

Can coat prep is ideally a clayed and polished surface. Definitely clay or deep clean. Think of it like c2v3 but seems to be a bit more solid if you will.

 

[riz]

Damn. Will have to redo my car then...😂
I've just whacked some QDC Graphene on it to protect it. Will see how long it lasts....

Wife is getting a white X5, I just don't know what to protect it with. I have 3 waxes from Infinity and BH but as it's a big ass car I was thinking a spray sealant or wetcoat etc.

 

[riz]

Could I use cancoat over BH cleanser polish?
