Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I’ll check out the wax. Thanks for the tip. All the best.

Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I had to review another old video I’d made where I tested multiple products at various dilution ratios. So. From my experience. One full ik foamer or sprayer will get round the whole car. But. Only half full the ik. You get better presurisation that way. Also. I almost never use the manufactures recommended ratio in my foam cannon. What cannon are you using? I know there are loads to choose from but I upgraded from autoglym to hjjc and the difference is night and day. The cannon just produces better foam for less concentration. Also. When I tried really weak auto foam or touchless, I found it to be almost as effective as a strong concentration. You just get a thinner foam and subsequently less dwell time, which is only really important on really really dirty vehicles. My best advice would be to do some tests with less and less product until you find a happy medium between 1) Not using loads and 2) still cleaning to your satisfaction. Once you get dialled in and doing regular maintenance washes, with a little lsp to finish you’ll find you’ll need less and less foam. If saving money or product is the key factor. Use citrus pre wash. That stuff goes miles. Costs very little. Is comparable to foam. Just isn’t as much fun. Hope that helps.

@@rev-you1975 Thank you for the reply! I have MJJC Pro V2 foam cannon and it does a great job with making foams. However, I have learned that foaming doesn't actually add more cleaning power. It is just for looks. So, I am not really worried about getting the maximum foam. Like you suggested, I should try different dilution ratios. I will try 100ml touchless and 900 ml water for the next wash and see what happens.

100ml will be perfectly adequate. Even try 50ml also. You might be surprised. Good luck.

Bathe normal is a seperate product? Is that right?

Too many products. Not enough weekend. Next move for me is hydro slick ceramic on the foz. Autoglym uhd on my partners car (just because the paint is far superior) Then will monitor ongoing performance using bathe+ And also need to entwine all the samples you sent me.

@@rev-you1975 correct. Bathe is the pure shampoo and Bathe+ is the one with added silicon protection.

Hello. Thanks very much for your kind comment. Much appreciated. I haven’t tried hydro suds before. The only chemical guys hydro product I’ve used was the hydro slick ceramic which I was really impressed with. I tend to opt for the 1 month, 2 month, 6 month type pseudo ceramics for 2 reasons. I genuinely enjoy washing the car regularly and trying out new products, also, I don’t have indoor storage for the car and the uk weather is too unpredictable to get a good cool/dry and not too sunny weekend in which to get a decent result installing ceramic outside. With that said. I am planning an upcoming video showing autoglym uhd ceramic when the planets align in terms of dry weather on a Saturday and Sunday. I have used cg suds for ages, but, during a recent 50/50 lsp review/test on the foresters bonnet, it became abundantly clear that the suds were stripping the Gyeon wet coat protection. So, despite really enjoying the experience with cg suds, I’ve just begun using Gyeon Bathe+. As you see in this video. It’s so good. Maybe not extreme enough for a really dirty vehicle but wonderful as a weekly maintenance wash especially if your car is waxed and or coated. I’ve heard it is particularly good for ceramics too. My partners car is getting UHD. The foz will be getting Cg hydro slick again. From that point on. I’ll be testing very gentle shampoos that either complement or boost the coating and we’ll see how long the coatings last. I’ve not tried the other products you mention I’m afraid. Thanks for watching. All the best.

Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I’m really sorry. I have no experience of any other gas supplies systems other than what you see in my van at present. Sorry. Good luck finding a solution. If it helps. There’s loads of camper forums that tend to be mega helpful and highly detailed on topics such as this. All the best.

Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I’ll need to review the video to refresh my memory. I have indeed done tests in the past dropping the dilution ratio down to ridiculously weak. My findings were that the cleaning power was very very similar. Only real difference was foam thickness and subsequently cling/dwell time. So if the car is filthy and really needs thick foam, then up the ratio. If the car is only moderately dirty/doing a weekly maintenance wash, you can easily drop to a much weaker mixture. Saves money. Product goes further. Does almost the same job. Just thinner foam.

Cool. Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@rev-you1975 no, thank you sir for taking the time to make the videos😉

Yes. I only learnt that recently when doing panel tests on the bonnet. Onr and wet coat continued to protect to a degree after autofoam which was impressive. But after chemical guys suds. Lsp gone. Which spurred me to change my routine a little. I’ll continue to see how bathe used in conjunction with wet coat performs. I’m hoping it’ll do well. After a few more washes/tests I may put in a coating with a little more longevity and then see how bathe cares for it. Conversely, I had had good results with hydroslick ceramic before so may well test drive that again. Also, after your recommendation, will install autoglym hd but that’ll be on my partners car just for ease of installation and better paint overall, but will pursue a gentle soap regime moving forward and see how the coating lasts.

@@rev-you1975 after applying UHD caramic coat and a coat of UHD wax, i love the warm glow you get with a Carnauba based wax and AG say thats fine to apply over the ceramic, when i wash the car, even the AG Polar foam slides off! Exceptional protection for aging Japanese sun damaged paint. I found that Gyeon bathe was, by far, the nicest product in my wash routine, super slick, left no residue and didn’t effect previously applied coatings.

Absolute pleasure. I wasn’t sure this one was going to be well received, I shot it Monday night and honestly tore through it in no time. I was worried it would appear rushed but maybe a tiny bit quicker is good. Anyway. 2 days of on and off rain. Made a short this morning to show the bead, run off and overall current look. Appears to be fairing well so far. Thanks for watching as always.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

Good choice. Nice brush. Use mine regularly. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.

Cool. I’ll look that up. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.

Ha ha. It was horrific. I think if it wasn’t for the fact I hate garages butchering the door card, breaking all the clips, cutting the membrane etc. I’d gladly pay someone. I could have washed 3 cars to a hi standard in the time it took to do and film. Even reviewing it prior to exporting the video forced me to re live it all. Let’s hope this motor lasts another 4 years. The Fsti just eats them for fun.

@@rev-you1975 4 years? Ouch

@@pigeonpoo1823 Yeah. It’s ridiculous. Poorly designed. Pillar less doors. Motor mounted 45 degrees angled downwards. Collects water. Dies. Rubbish.

Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I’ll double check my ratios. Thank you. All the best.

You got it. Certainly was. Replacement was easier than extraction but no fun none the less.

Thanks mate.

Thanks mate. I hope you’re keeping well. All the best.

Meguiars waterless wash on the right side of the bonnet and chemical guys waterless on the left side of the bonnet.

Quite possibly. It’s early days for my testing on waterless but early impressions suggest the protection is pretty good.

@@rev-you1975 I think I need to try CarPro Ech2o at waterless dilution ratios to see how it performs

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. I’d been waiting for exactly the right level of dirt. 100% handy to have in the boot ready for an impromptu spruce up. Like a qd I guess but supposedly with additional lubrication. I don’t know the tech specs. But it felt good to use and the results were perfectly adequate. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thanks mate.

Just to manage expectations. It’s not long long. Just longer than a short and in UA-cam terms. A long play. But by no means an epic. I do have a long long video in the works.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes. Mum always said to me “Have you seen my car?, I washed it!!”. Always scared me. I dread to think what she was using on it. Whenever I’d taken my kit over for a full pressure wash she’d be out every 5 minutes asking if I was nearly done and also “how much is this costing me” (water wise). Hence why I explored onr and also water less options. Anything to provide half decent job with far less or no water. Plan was to do onr with once. Then wet coat. Then weekly top ups with waterless just to keep on top of things. Thanks for watching as always.

@@rev-you1975 got to keep mum happy! 🚗 🧼

Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. If you half fill the device (performs better that way), probably refill twice too provide a thin covering (perfectly adequate to wash a whole car). Not as thick as a foam cannon but perfectly acceptable for a clean.

Hello. Thank you. Yes. Staged attack. First test headlights. Second test roof rail stand offs, third test, rear spoiler. I’m not going to go mad on the paint. She’s getting full paint soon. But, do want to gain experience using the polisher. Early indications seem really good. I’d quite like a compact one too but where do you stop. Lol I have a few scratches I’d like to attend to on foz also. Probably end up working on those too. It’s so easy and quick. Pretty fun actually.

Hello. Not too much drama at all really. They take 30 seconds to wash out. Having a sprayer and a foamer is nice. Then you can get prepped indoors, pumped up ready to go. I think if I was going to have just one, I’d probably have the multi sprayer. They’re great for citrus pre wash or rinse less pre soak. So maybe just edges it in terms of versatility. Having said that if you simply must have foam and don’t have a foam cannon, then of course. The foamer is the way to go. Wheel cleaner, citrus pre wash etc can be delivered with a standard sprayer no drama and shampoo can just be in a bucket. Also. If you really want to save on equipment. Just use ONR. It’s incredible. You can wash inside, outside, glass and wheels with one bucket full. Sorry for the short story. Thanks for watching.

It’s quite addictive eh?. I’ll check out the diy detail one, sounds good. Thanks for watching. Take care.

@rev-you1975 yeah it's perfect for a quick wash,saves getting the pressure washer and all the other bits out when the car is only slightly dirty

@@vergo8 Yep. Just spruced up foz this morning. 30 mins. Amazing. Quick interim splosh. She got the full Monty a couple of days ago and had a good coat of wet coat. Got caught in a rain shower driving yesterday. So just needed a quick going over. Great stuff. Can’t believe I didn’t try it sooner.

@rev-you1975 glad your enjoying the rinseless process 👍🏻

Hello. Let me review and get back to you. Essentially doesn’t really matter about the stream pattern. As long as you collect in the bucket. Whatever works best for you. When I used this method I will add that the ratio % was really high. I have since discovered that a lower ratio is also fine. Thinner foam but still good cleaning power. 100ml of product in 900ml of water should work good as a baseline.

@@rev-you1975 ah i understand. Yeah i did do the pir just i wasent sure if the pattern of the water mattered while testing it. I had looked on videos and it was never mentioned and the patterns looked straight so i assume it doesnt matter like you say.

Hello. Yes. 500ml water and 100ml of product is a good starting point. Depending on the output you achieve. Either too thick or too thin. Strengthen or weaken accordingly. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@rev-you1975 thanks - do you have the link for extended karcher lead? Thanks

@@marklanghorn9220 Sure thing. One mo.

@@marklanghorn9220 This is what I use. Obviously check your connections. I migrated to quick connect. Seemed more widely compatible. Then bought a quick connect stubby gun and quick connect foamer to match. Hope that makes sense. STYDDI 10M High Pressure Washer... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B082LTTZ2R?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Yes. It’s convinced me to try Gyeon bathe. Been meaning to for ages. Thanks for the tip on the mitts. They look good.

Good call

I’m already 5 pints in. lol. Box in the car is the backup supply. It is bank holiday.

@@rev-you1975 noice! gotta make the most of it.

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. It’s cooking as we speak. The processing takes 4 times longer than the creating. Take care.

Btw. Meant to say. Forensic detailing. One of my all time favourite detailing channels. Him and David McBay. Wonderful stuff.

Hello. That’s a shame. What have you tried putting through it? Bilt hamber auto foam. 10%. 500ml water 50ml product should provide a good foam. If not try the drier pick up tip supplied in the box. There are of course other products that work well but auto foam is a good dependable benchmark.

Surfex HD. Will trial with Auto Foam and different nozzle. Thanks for response.

​​⁠No problem. Good luck. I had good results with surfex too. Autobrite direct just wheels was the stand out surprise for me. Hardly any product required (really concentrated). More foam than surfex. Wonderful cleaning power.

Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. From memory (it’s a while since I shot this video), these ratios worked well Autofoam 20% strength - 500ml water 100ml product 10% strength - 500ml water 50ml product 5% strength - 500ml water 25ml product 2% strength - 500ml water 10ml product Thanks again.

Hello. Thanks for your positive comments, I really appreciate it. I will indeed report back on the slickness. I have some mitts to review this weekend so that’ll tie in nicely to doing a good old fashioned bucket n suds wash on the bonnet to evaluate slickness and mitt performance. Good call re putting wet coat in the shuts I’ll factor that in from now on. I like the sound of your process. Sounds efficient/effective. I’m still tinkering with rinseless process but enjoying the journey nonetheless the less. I haven’t forgotten about the time saving video. Trad vs rinseless. Just waiting for the planets to align re all cars being dirty, at home at the same time and half decent weather. Thanks for watching as always. See you soon.

Hello. Thanks for your kind comment. Sorry for the delayed response. Honest answer is. I really don’t know I’m afraid. My Fsti is my first Subaru and subsequently the only model I know much about. Tyre profile does sound a little high. Send me a message on insta. Then we can look at a pic of ride height and clearance. Take care.

Well. Just maybe. This and Perl. Winning combo.

On it.

@@rev-you1975 very much appreciated
