    I have now re-reviewed your review! Thought timestamps might help anyone else wanting you thoughts on specific products and conclusion:
    1:20 Brief History of Bilt Hamber
    3:35 Auto-foam snow foam:
    12:00 Surfex HD - great all round cleaner, many dilution rate options
    17:52 Auto-Wash - no additives added. Super concentrated (5ml per bucket/15ml per 5 gallon). Anti corrosive properties to prevent rust
    22:47 Korrosol clearcoat cleaner / Auto-wheel cleaner - bleeding fallout products
    - 27:45 Differences between them explained
    30:49 Clay Bars (conclusion: best in class, especially value)
    37:30 Finis-Wax: Easy to apply/wipe off, great value for money
    . Last well. Great wax
    40:57 Double Speed wax: if you can only have one wax, get this. Last longest, highest gloss, slightly more "grippy" to remove but better water repellent.
    47:11 AutoQD detailing dressing (ionic cushioning product/claybar lube). Can be diluted 75%product:25%water for gloss boost)
    51:32 Cleanser Fluid: Removes hydrocarbons, wax and traffic film. Use to prime the paint, then apply the wax/sealant
    55:25 Conclusions
    - 55:35 Products that are missing from the range (still missing in 2019).
    -- No compound/finishing polish, ceramic coating, glass or tyre care
    - 55:60 Final conclusions
    Summary - all great products. Those that are instabuys/best in class products:
    - Auto-wash shampoo for best clean residue free finish, super concentrate, big bubbles, value for money is insane
    - Auto-foam - best at actually CLEANING/breaking down the traffic film
    rather than looking nice and smelling of pineapple.
    - Korrosol clearcoat cleaner / Auto-wheel cleaner
    - SurfexHD many usees for different dilution rates. Note: Price has gone now in 2019 (5L/£23)
    - Clay Bars Range - best in class by a long way. 'Regular' clay for most abrasive. Great prices
    .
    1:01:45 Thanks to Bilt Hamber and confirmation no script was provided
    Must have taken ages to make this video so there's my way of saying thanks for all the info!

Your reviews are absolutely great, the experiences with certain products you share are spot on and are indeed a big help! And you speak totally clear (which is a big bonus for me watching/subscribed from Hungary) I haven't even heard about Bilt Hamber products since, but I'll definitely place an order on their site. They products are really a big bang for money. Keep the videos coming! Cheers.

      I'd encourage you to buy - you won't be disappointed. I've been an 'auto-glym' chap for years, dabbled with McGuiars (?) but not impressed, but gave Bilt and Hamber a go because they seemed to be a cheaper alternative. They are not as cheap as some waxes et al - but you need so little. In fact, the less you use, the better. It has to be a 'mean' application for best results. I'll stick with B&H from now on.

    Great review vid, thank you. I've become a big fan of Bilt Hamber in recent months. It's just a very good all round range of products. No fancy packaging or flashy labels, no harsh chemicals, just stuff that works, is easy to use, and is well priced. British, too. My neighbour introduced me to the Auto Wheels initially, which works a treat. Slowly adding other products as my existing stuff runs out. For shampoo, I've always been a massive fan of the Autoglym Shampoo Conditioner, and have come back to it every time after trying most of the others. Will definitely try the Bilt Hamber when that's gone though.

    • @ForensicDetailing

      yer real no nonsense stuff. not really a scene brand. mainly surfactants and cleaning chems with an interest in anti corrsions. line is lacking like glass cleaners, plastic dressings products etc. And their paintwork protection stuff is wax based. nowadays I break brands down. cleaning chems (wash products) / decon / abrasives / protection / accessories. BH are the kings of the cleaning chem and decon catagories. everything they make they just formulate it to out perform other products and I really trust their ability to deliver on this and I think other people notice it as well.

    Thanks so much for your thorough, yet entertaining content. I have learned so much from you and 'Car Cleaning Guru'.
    I have tried a couple of Bilt Hamber products. The car wash is brilliant. 5mls to a bucket of water is ridiculous. The 300ml bottle is good for 60 washes! I traditionally use Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo and I like the shine it gives, but you have to use quite a lot so I run out quickly. BH Auto Wash is much, much better value for money and the clean is as good if not better. The low suds is initially disconcerting for those that like thick, luxurious suds but it still works and my microfibre drying towel literally squeaked across the glass and painted surfaces. I also like the fact that it's environmentally friendly so it's a guilt-free experience too. I agree that it's a bit of a faff to measure but rather than a syringe, just use a measuring cup that you get with cough syrup. BH need to redesign the bottle - the liquid is too runny for such a wide mouthed bottle.
    I was frustrated with the BH 'normal' grade clay bar that was just too hard to mold into a shape. My hands were aching just trying to flatten it and fold it every few minutes. This added to a lot of lost time as most of the surface area was not making contact with the panel. Not a pleasant experience - even warming it up in hot water made no difference. The only positive note is you only need to use water, rather than expensive clay lube and I like the fancy box. I understand there's a softer version but I'll stick with Meg's detailing kit now that it comes with a bigger chunk of clay and decent amount of lube.

    I have been using the Regular and Medium Clay bars for years and will never swap to anything else. The main thing that got me sold was you dont need any lubrication or quick detailer to use it. Water was perfect and can save money as your saving buying a new quick detailer any time you detail someones car.
    The Shampoo is 100% the best i have ever used hands down, and i have sampled a huge amount.
    Also the ergonomics of the auto wheels and korrosol bottles are really nice, companies likes Gyeon have forfeited function over form in order to make a fancy looking bottle which doesnt feel right in my big hands!
    And finally price wise you cannot beat Bilt Hamber they are my go to company 9 times out of 10!

    I'm glad you mentiond that the med/hard BH clays are quite stiff in use. I thought my hands were going to break trying to mould the stuff on a cold day. I'll definitely try the soft one next time. The other advantage of BH clay is that you can use water (according to the pack) so you save money not buying clay lube.

    John, great video as always!
    2 things:
    1 - I am using auto-wash as my shampoo (first shampoo I've ever bought for my P&J), and I really like it, but to be honest, it never really foam on me like on Your video. Suds, even if there is fair amount of them, don't last long in the bucket.
    2 - I also use double-speed wax (again first wax i bought), and I really like its durability and beading. But I really hate how it hardens on panel in matter of seconds... the name sort of makes sense to me, because you need to double your speed to buff it of :D but looking at your video, I think I still need to work on my technique.
    Keep doing a good work, these brand reviews are brilliant.

    Jon, I used the Snow Foam on a recent recommendation from you and was initially a little worried as it didn't give the visual effect of other products but it did do a really good job. This video cleared that one up. I also use the Clay which has proved excellent but does need a fair bit or manipulation in cold weather. This video confirms it is still the go to product although I look forward to your Clay review. Have a Good Christmas Sir.

    BH as impressive as ever with the products featured here and this brand review is still excellent! I can't think of another brand that rates best-in-class in as many areas. I like to think that they haven't expanded into compounds and coatings because they're keeping a focus on outperforming the competition instead of just matching them.

    Just a great video, proof you can yammer on for an hour on UA-cam and keep someone's ear for the whole time, cause the info is thorough and useful. What's more, the products themselves really are "as advertised", got the snow foam and the auto wheel, they work like a charm, I don't feel ripped off and the job gets done. A little difficult to find their shampoo here in my country, but hey..

    Great thanks for the reply, I saw your review on car shampoo, I am a real newbie to this, but if I remember correctly Bilt Hamber came out well on that as well. What I an doing at the mo, is snow foam, leave for a bit (hot weather is a killer) jet wash, hand wash, Jet wash and no microfibre at the mo, so mock chammy it off.

    Thanks for the tips on Bilt Hamber Auto Clay. Checking the Dollar Pound rate, I found a merchant on Ebay that sold medium clay for 29.45 pounds. That is two medium clay (200 grams) plus shipping to USA . I thought that was the most reasonable price.

    Very nice summary! You are progressing rapidly with your reviews. BH is my go-to manufacturer together with CarPro.
    You used quite much product occasionally. I can make about 10-15 cars with one bottle of Cleanser Fluid. It is effective glass cleaner (expensive though) and works very well dissolving tar. Finis-wax is about 33£ and DSW 14,95£. Finis is easier to use but DSW sheets better. I tested them Bouth side to side and finis had better longevity. Would say DSW longevity is about 5000-10000 km or 3-7 months and Finis 8000-15000km or 4-9 months if You are maintaining them correctly. Top work!
    Can You make next: CarPro, Bouncer's and Obsession wax reviews?
    By the way I agree that they should make: Coating, spray sealant.

    love the vids there great. spent hours watching them all. ive bought a fair bit of the bilt hamber range based oon this review you have done. one question is who much snow foam is a recomendation in the lance. most snow foams i use go by 1 inch of product in lance bottle top with water. would this apply to the bilt hamber foam.

  • @richardkkirk
    @richardkkirk 7 років тому +2

    john i use both the korrosol and the clay and as you say best i've ever used the only reason i am not using the speed wax and the rest of the range is that i have shed loads of stuff to use first, plus i have emailed bilt hamber regarding a question on a product and every time they answer very quicky and in a way that is easy to understand...they are really good..i would love them to do a coating for glass making them hydrophobic and a cleaner...cheers for another cracking review mate.

  • @neilmclaughlin2461

    Just want to add that you can use the Autofoam in a hand pump sprayer and it'll work just as well, if not better imho, as well as being more economical. I use 80ml per 2L and it'll be enough for up to 2 cars.

    Hello, just found your channel and been glued for hours. I currently use BH clay and shampoo and after watching this will be switching to their snow foam, auto wheel and either finis or double speed products. One question for you, or any other subscribers, I live in a rural village Cyprus which brings it’s own challenges - heat, lots of dew in the mornings at our altitude, dust - from dust storms, dusty roads and passing farm vehicles. I’m hoping to get a brand new car later this year and debating whether to go down the ceramic route and regularly top up with Reload (I acquired some recently), or stick with a more regular product such as double speed or Finis. Like the idea of ceramic but I know it’s important to prepare properly and once you go down that route I’m in the hands of the pros who are few and far between over here. Any thoughts welcome. Keep up the good work.

    26:00 Know it's an old video but just got through another bottle of wheel cleaner having done only 16 wheels for £14. Even spraying from the centre of the wheel to outside to minimise it going thru onto the discs. Never thought of cleaning them first, sounds counter intuitive but this makes total sense. Nuggets of info like this are gold. Everything I'm looking into now (Gen Purpose cleaner/wheel cleaners atm) seems to take me from one of your videos to the next one being just as relevant so I've been on a non intended binge. I;m relatively new to the hobby, but learning a tonne here, love this channel. This was like an hour overview of detailing for beginners not just showing the products. Get on my favourites list I'll be bank to review this again! Oh and I now want all of those. Great vid.

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  4 роки тому +1

      yer if you use these reaction fallout removers on dirty wheels, the reaction is wasted turning rusted ferous particles thats just mixed in with the dirt.. all its doing is melting the rust layer on unbounded materials. when really they are best used to dislodge embedded iron. They will also tarnish your disks and pads so you need to be carefull where you spray them. They are best used periodically to decon your alloy really.. or when they are really filfty.. good pre rinse and blast down is always worth doinf welcome to the channel m8

I also tried the one bucket wash method you use with the wash mitt with the short pile you advised about. This will be my new way to wash, works brilliantly. Thank you.

    Spray head could be better on autowheels as well, I always get a stream rather than a spray/mist

Maybe a silly reason but I like shampoo to have nice smell to it. I have now gone over to Adams which i find at least equally as good and also CG Gloss Workz. Don't think you mentioned you can also use the clay bar with soapy water rather than a QD.

    If you like the trigger sprays on the Bilt Hamber bottles, the green Mr Muscle Window and Glass cleaner (in the UK at least) uses the exact same mechanism. Some other household cleaning products also use the same mechanism, so potentially a source of spray bottles a bit cheaper than the empties from Bilt Hamber. You might want to give the household cleaner bottle a quick rinse out with some BH APC first :)

    There is a housing development behind my house going up. 60-70 homes. Ive been struggling with cleaning my car due to the constant dust. Washed my car today and noted all the top surfaces (bonnet/roof etc) have got what appears these pitted spots which are all perfectly spread. They’re tiny and pick up awfully in the light! Cannot get them off for toffee! The paintwork feels smooth to touch but this video has definitely swayed me to try the reg clay bar! I’m hoping it does the job.
    I have a feeling the spots are possibly lime from the cement which has been rained on my car and dried in the sun :(
