What snowfoam bottles are people using?

Looking at getting one soon. I have a quick release stubby gun that it'll be hooked on to.

Will order some Bilt Hamber snow foam when I do.

I have the mtm pf22, its more expensive than most but really is better quality. Cant fault it one bit. I would recommend getting a 1.1mm oriface is using it with a domestic pressure washer. Helps make the foam thicker which stops it running off so fast.

I've had their one like that for 10 years and it's still going strong.

 

[imprezaworks]

The one I have is ‘okay’. I’d opt for that one next time

I've got this. Does the job, autofoam is a great cleaner but doesnt look like shaving foam.
Big thread on DW that it potentially strips LSP.

I’ve got that one. It’s brilliant for smaller panels and also great to use for wet sanding with Carpro sanding pads. As has been said though, it would be a chore to do a whole car with it.

Finally found a great glass cloth.
And the HG glass cleaner is excellent too

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000IU3W7K/?tag=cliospnet01-21


The HG mould remover for grouting is also good too.

 

[imprezaworks]

Will give that a go

Used it years ago.

Always looked for the Bio Brisk version in bulk to dilute down but could never get any. Ended up with the Valet Pro carpet stuff which I use through a spray extraction machine.

Anyone interested in buying my das-6 v2
Bought it at the start of lockdown but have since bought another one that gets more use.
Ill be listing it on eBay if anyone is interested

Gtechniq G1 kit.

lasts at least 2 years. 3 coats on the windscreen and 1 on all other windows. I swear by the stuff.

Thanks to @Sunglasses_Ron who recommended the G1 kit. A complete nause to apply and I never want to do it again, but f**k me it works a dream!

Even the snow foam doesn’t stick to it! 😂

G5 is far less picky to apply and works better at low speeds. It may not have the longevity but it’s the better product IMO.

[imprezaworks]

Anyone used Griots Spray Wax?.

 

[Gally]

Haven't but griots make some good stuff. If you fancy another find the Adams one, it's a good product.

Have you tried the rapid detailer I recommended?

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers. I was going to try it but never got round to it.
Someone else has mentioned the adams one if durability isn’t high up the list, which it isn’t.

Optimum car wax seems to be rated too.

What's this graphene all about?

 

[Amos91]

What's this graphene all about?

Now that's a can of worms! Seems to be the most debated topic at the moment.

 

[JamesBryan]

What's this graphene all about?

All a bit of a con at the minute.

From what I've seen there's no benefit to it over the usual SiO2 coatings.

They're literally putting graphene powder into the liquid and selling it 😂

 

[Amos91]

There are quite a few YouTube vids / podcasts on the subject of you're inclined to understand more.

I don't think it's a worthy update to product line ups.

Is kiln the go too drying towel? If so where did you buy yours?

The Duo one I have is brilliant, went for the medium but for larger cars I'd get the large because they soak up that much water that the medium becomes pretty saturated on larger cars.

Excel Detailing Supplies

Carbon Collective do their own version too.

Anyone used shinee wax?

Forget it for the moment mate. Another sales technique. Hasn't moved the game on yet. Titan seem to be the only innovator just now.

Got this recently and it works well, good quality!

yeah better half has got me that, shinee wax and another towel.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Bought a bottle of Sonax BSD and used it last night. Makes the paint exceptionally slick. Cant comment on beading yet but it wont be long knowing the weather. Looks great on the car for how easy it is to apply and buff

Spray on, rinse off LSP. Gyeon Wetcoat is my normal. Anything else worth trying?

The turtle wax, wax it wet is really good. I wouldn't buy both but definitely get a bottle when you need some.
