Jeremy Hunt blunders :) ua-cam.com/video/pr2rZPc7-M8/v-deo.html
I recently had a routine query on an order with Bilt Hamber. I was actually able to ring them up and speak to a very helpful person who efficiently dealt with it. No call screening, no waiting, no attitude. To me that speaks volumes.
I love that there is no bs with Bilt Hamber, no fancy buzzwords etc just excellent products that do what they are supposed to do
I started using BH purely from watching your channel! Love all the ones I’ve tried so far 👌🏼
Discovered BH through this excellent channel; loving their products can’t believe I’d never heard of them before.
Likewise, yet to take the plunge on products, got their clay bar ready to go, but after my meguiars and auto gym is done with, I'll definitely be going for their apc as well as some other bits to test the water👍🏼
I work in forestry on the west coast of Scotland and rely heavily on my quad bike to get to some seriously inaccessible places. As a consequence the atv gets covered in dirt much of which is peat based. Being acidic and when dry it is virtually impossible to remove even with a pressure washer.
After washing the car one day I decided to give the quad a quick squirt of BH snow foam, unbelievably after a few minutes the peat started to slide off the plastics. A quick blast with the pressure washer brought it up like new. Fantastic stuff which I now use weekly.
you mean autofoam ? yeah works amazing on dirt
Try the surfex hd too as a pre wash that is awesome too
What I love about BH is the simplicity in their product line.. often only one or two things for each aspect of a car detail and often the best in class 👍
The auto wheel is a great product. His comments about getting on the discs hits home. I cut it to a 50/50 ratio with water and it still get the job done. I have finally found someone in the states that stocks it so no more shipping charges from the U.K.
Who has it?
That There 6ix, Google The Clean Garage and they’re in Pennsylvania.
Started using them some time ago after watching your channel and ABSOLUTELY love their products!
I learned about BH from you Jon and I love Surfex HD. It's my prewash product diluted at 7%. I wash my car at least once a week and after rinsing Surfex off with a power washer, I just do a rinseless wash with a dilution of Sonax BSD and Megs Last Touch,. Other than that, 2 or 3 towels and a bucket of water, that's all I need. The car hasn't needed a shampoo wash in a year. Fusso Coat is my base sealant which helps make this quick and convenient wash process so effective and creates virtually no swrils or marring when done properly.
The other £ saving with BH clay (apart from the fact that you get loads of it for your money) is that they advise to use water as the lubricant rather than a detailing spray, saving even more on the decon stage.
I always use onr as a lub
2:00 "...THREE sections - washing, decontaminating, polishing and protecting" 😂
haha yer, my own dumbness made me chuckle here as well.
@@ForensicDetailing I certainly don't think you're dumb. I just thought it was funny.
Been extremely impressed by all the products i've used by them - auto foam, auto wash, double speed wax, surfex and the medium level clay bar. the only thing i can say is the wax is pretty hard to buff off! But now 5 months later after 1 good layer my car still beads up like i've just applied it. Love using Bilt Hamber
Autofoam is 🔥🔥
I absolutely love Bilt Hamber products. Started my own detailing business just shy of a year ago and Bilt Hamber products were instrumental in making my business a success. Market leading products at very reasonable prices. Great video Jon. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻
If they got into Halfords they would become the largest detailing brand in the UK easily. They make products that work without fleecing your pocket.
As soon as halfords come into the equation then that's when the fleecing starts and rip off and drive up the prices
At one time way back you could buy bilt hamber on line from Halfords but not from the shop itself.....
If you want decent, value-for-money, products then don't shop in Halfords!
@@SparkleanAutos Really? Where would you suggest? I buy all the AutoGlym stuff I use at halfords, Auto Finesse too. I find they have the best prices for the things I use that aren't BH.
@@DasArab if that's what you find then good for you 👍🏼
It’s 1am. You’re making me want to go wash my car 😅 hasn’t been washed in about 5 weeks now 😒 life gets in the way ☹️
We finally have a distributor over here in the states for BH. I'm really excited to give them a try, specifically the Surfex HD and clay. After watching John praise them for the past few years, I had almost gotten to the point where I was willing to pay shipping from the UK to try them.
Is that "The Clean Garage"? How are they? I don't know anything about them.
I believe that's the place. I've never ordered from them before, but I haven't heard anything bad. Most of my supplies come from Detailed Image and Autogeek. The majority come from a local place that builds/maintains automatic car washes. They have a small warehouse that has the full Carpro, Optimum, Griot's, 3d, and Maguires Pro lines, as well as Lake Country and Buff & Shine pads. Prices are ridiculously low, like a gallon of ONR for $28. It's great for a small business like mine.
@@Pantfoot Thanks for the info. I checked out The Clean Garage which was a nice site. Prices were okay and you could use PayPal, so I finally have some Bilt Hamber coming my way :)
BH is finally here in the states and today I got my first BH product, the snow foam. I have heard your high praise and this weekend I'm using it. Thanks
Great video as always. You are right, Bilt Hamber have some amazing products.
When I last bought something I even bought a couple of their microfibre Terry cloths for buffing off wax and using with their QD. They were lovely and soft too and were a 70/30 blend. Goes to show whatever they do, they do it well.
love your honesty i can tell you are you there for us novices and ive got to say you explain things that make sense pls keep making videos they are so easy to understand ive recently gone over to using bilt hammer products ive not only saved money ive also noticed how much better it is to look after my car thank you
Love that you touched on the concentrations. Not only are you not paying for water, but it reduces wasted storage space as well for those of us with smaller work spaces.
Just wish there were more suppliers in the US 😭. I've ordered some stuff through ebay and other methods with high shipping costs because I really like a couple of their products.
138 thousand subscribers!!! Congratulations John very well deserved mate hard works pays off pal
Great video. I've tried pretty much all the products from the cleaning/decon range and the value for money and quality is really solid.
Thanks to you Jon I have tried a lot of Bilt Hamber products and have recommended them to my friends and colleagues. Surfex, Snowfoam, fallout remover and clay bar were all excellent. I just couldn't get on with the autowash, perhaps I got a dodgy bottle of it. Ended up going with Autoglym UHD shampoo and the autowash was relegated to wheel shampoo. Your channel is fantastic and keep up the great reviews 👍
thanks for your great videos on this product (i will be buying some now😀). I watched the previous one in which you went into great detail explaining what each of the products do and giving your opinion based on what exactly you look for and essentially coming up with a 'does what it says' result, rather than it being gimmicky marketing that some other products do. 👍
Jon. I cannot help saying to myself "My God, how right you are". Couldn't agree more with your superb analysis. Im just a lay person and have been using BH stuff for 3 or 4 years. Their products could be summed up in a single word "quality " and of course something that is well worth the money spent on it.
Its not an accident that Bilt Hamber are quality products,its the result of intelligent effort. They just gave you unexpected, disarming honesty. Quite simply, Head, shoulders and feather cap above the competition. Im not kidding you here. You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.!
Awesome video Jon 👍
The last few years I've been going over from a bulk supplier to more named products and although still using some products like Tar & Glue remover I have gone over to a mix of BH and Angelwax with Carpro PERL chucked in for good measure.
If you're in the trade Autowheel is a must for wheels that don't get looked after. Sometimes I have to hit real bad ones with an acid based wheel cleaner but not often.
As you were saying it I was thinking BH need to do a T&G.
Surfex HD has got to be the best product ever because of it's versatility, and I've never known anything like it for removing greenery.
👍
i,ve used a few Bilt Hamber products and i have been nothing but absolutely impressed by them
My 25L of Af and also Surfex arrived this week. Superb products. Well done Bilt Hamber. Thanks for the video John. 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing brand, started with the double speed and expanded on your recommendations, surfex HD and auto foam 🙌 the power and price are the best, like you say they have some gaps but just fill them with the best of another brand like Koch and Carpro. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for always providing the core analyses. These are very helpful.
Btw, It is a pity that the culture of detailing is poor in Japan and it is difficult to obtain products from many of the world's mainstream manufacturers.
But your always-enjoying passion gives me a good inspiration.
I"m going to keep supporting you.
With much respect from🇯🇵
So excited to try BH. I live in the United States and have never heard of them until just recently once I started watching your videos!
Just ordered their finis-wax and I may even order there double speed wax as well. Very excited
Hi Jon, thanks for another great video. I have only used the Bilt Hamber Laboratories products since watching your channel. I have used surfex, auto foam and double speed wax. They are all great and will buy again. I also found their blue microfiber cloths to be amazing. Thanks for the honest reviews to help us noobs 🤣
Thanks re this. I was always a Autoglym and Yum Cars fan but have been using the Bilt wheel cleaner and clay bar and they are fantastic. Thanks John.
Very useful tips, did not know about diluting the QD, many thanks! 👍👍👍
Very happy with every single product. Fantastic stuff.
after watching your videos John, have bought Bilt Hamber, the surfex APC is brilliant, and their wheel cleaner, also use the car shampoo. Will get the QD shortly. Great videos.
They've got rid of that wide-necked bottle they've been using for the auto-wash which you complained about in your shampoo group test. Now they've using a bottle with a flip-up nozzle which is a big improvement.
Hi Jon. Great vid and totally agree. One thing to add is that their customer service is also out of this world. By far the best I've come across in almost any walk of life. Peter Hamber is a proper gent!
Cheers again, you and bilt hamber are my go to combinations
From Chicago, GREAT VIDEO. We are finally able to get Bilt Hamber here in the US and for winter cleaning this stuff has promise. Love the channel.
thank you PDJ, love chicago :) I want to come and see chicago one day
Great video John i a agree 100% ...we love Bilt hamber in Greece too
Thanks again for another BH overview John. Very happy we're finally starting to see it in the US. What are your thoughts on their product safety sheets? In the US, we use NFPA Health Hazard ratings that go on a scale from 0-4, with 0 being the safest and 4 being the most hazardous. The current APC I use from Meguiar's has an NFPA rating of 3, which is far more hazardous than I'd like. I'm hoping either Meg's comes out with something a little safer or BH products get your nod of approval
Megs I think uses both sodium hydroxide and another hydroxide, megs APC is good though and you can get for good value in the USA. I could be wrong check that ingredients thing. Surfex is pure surfactant based and biodegrade-able. It should get a very good safety rating I hope. Test any other water based degreaser against surfex at 10:1 at breaking down grease and surfex will win.
Couldn't agree more, fantastic products and you've barely scratched the surface. Their rust prevention and associated treatments (Hydrate 80, Dynax, etc.) are superb.
I recently tried their clay bars and they were excellent compared to previous make.
Korosol and Surfex are my number 1 choice.
Great info, thanks for the great content 👍
It’s worth noting Bilt Hamber also has amazing customer service! I had my first order from them turn up damaged due to the currier, not BH fault at all, yet they sent me a new tin of there product free of charge straight away. I was very impressed with the Epoxy Mastic product which I bought too. Didn’t even know they did car cleaning products, I’ll defo be putting in an order soon now that I know haha
Fantastic products. I started using their rust converter + treatment products when resorting my E36. Everyone was amazed at how effective they were. Their any rust primer is just incredible.
Cavity waxes & underbody protection is second to none. As with all of their products a little goes a long way.
I like to mix surfex & auto foam in my foam lance. It's incredible at removing winter road film
I'm new to detailing and watched your previous Bilt Hamber run down, I'm become a bit of Bilt Hamber Evangelist!! I'm now the happy owner of a car that people genuinely look at and seem to be rather impressed.
I’ve realized this about the super heavy foamy car shampoos - they look cool, are fun to use, and kinda make us feel good about the fact that they’re doing a great job. However what I realized is, that anything besides a very thin layer that’s actually in contact with your vehicle, the rest isn’t doing anything other than looking good. If anything a lot of the time if you do a time lapse between the shaving cream like foam shampoos vs the more watery appearing ones, the shaving cream ones don’t dwell nearly as long and roll off much quicker - I think the fact that it’s so heavy and dense doesn’t allow it to dwell on the paintwork, and the weight sorta drags itself down. Don’t get me wrong I love the thick stuff too, and some are definitely much better than others at cleaning, etc.
surfex HD is fantastic, and bought simply on your recommendations from before. Cleans alloys, wheel arch’s, door shuts, sill lines. Cleans my wheels so well, if I do choose to use a fall out remover after, get very little ‘bleeding’ where it’s cleaned so much contamination off already.
Their rust treatment products are excellent too.
Edit: Just wanted to big up the Cleaner Polish as well - you undersold it. It's like a better Autoglym Super Resin Polish without any of the drawbacks like chalkiness.
Love their stuff, agree about some missing bits they could make though...maybe in time!
Great content as always Jon. I’d be very keen to see some swissvax products reviewed...
Great products, I always end up coming back to them when try other things out.
No tar n glue remover is my only gripe really, be nice to see them add one to range.
The Bilt Hamber products are great products , thanks to you i found these great products !!!
Bought Surfex HD on your recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Cleaned out my shower with 10% and got it sparkling, was blown away cause I'd tried all the usual stuff. The grout is bright white. Just spray it on, leave it then scrub and rinse
BH has some amazing stuff, surfexHD, dynasty range, clambers and atom Mac. I all use them o my 20 year old Impreza with goo results ! Anything to keep rust away or at least slowed down is a good thing.....
Got some of the clay bar for Xmas after watching your video on it. As I don’t have a garage I need to wait for better weather
Great stuff, brand and video! Any brand that puts performance over marketing and inflated prices has got to be right up there.
Bilt Hamber Auto Foam is awesome! Seems to be one of the few snow foams out there that take a scientific approach to pre-washing! There’s a fairly new channel popped up recently ‘V-Project UK’ which features it in their PIR video ... defo worth a watch ... not too convinced by Bilt Hamber Fine clay though ... it has a very brittle consistency - but advantage is that you can use it with water as a lube
Just wanted to send a BIG THANKYOU for this and your other videos. I bought and used surfex hd and korrosol on wheels and touchless on paintwork - car is gleaming even without contact wash :)
Great to hear!
Just ordered a 5liter surfex. And I am going to order some more wheel cleaner and corosol.
I first started becoming a BH fanboy with Auto Foam and then every time I've run out of a different product I've switched over to their range. I don't know if its always been the case but I got some Korrosol recently in the newer packaging/spray bottle and I feel like it has a strong smell of bubblegum or something, I was genuinely surprised considering fallout removers usually stink. Also yeah would love a tar remover from them, you just know it would work a treat.
Didn't know there shampoo was ideal for older cars! I'll definitely get that next time out!
hi John, only problem with built hamber products is that they are not in snazie bottles, but they do what they say , love them and thanks for introduicing them to me
A product line I would love to see from BH would be as you said some dressings, Maybe just a tire dressing and a plastics/dashboard dressing just to make that last stage of cleaning the car really pop haven't tried the QD yet as I've been using the Auto glym detailer spray so will have to give it a try 👍🏻
I always use Bilt Hamber products - absolutely brilliant!
I recently found a local US supplier and ordered the Auto Foam, which seems awesome so far. Next I want to try Korrosol!
Love this brand review. Koch Chemie have the best abrasive range I think, F6 is the most ideal for me. Surfex HD is an amazing cleaner, and the Auto QD works brilliant at 10:1. Auto QD smells like strawberry Opal Fruits I find, very nice. The Finis-wax is worth the extra, as it's very glossy and slick but needs leaving for 5 minutes before buffing. Hydro-wax is the same. Bilt Hamber Laboratories have switched from metal to plastic for their Auto QD bottle and new larger Auto Wash bottles recently with the new branding.
When ordering any waxes or waterless Bilt Hamber Laboratories products, they always come supplied with their own microfibres, applicators, bottle heads, all absolutely free, which is a very nice touch. I can't fault the brand.
Just a note on the Korrosol, if you buy it in 5L jogs then the price per treatment gets a little bit more manageable and you can use your stylish hipster spray bottles if you like :-)
Like many others, never really heard of BH until recently (ie here). Then you see Autoexpress keep giving them great reviews! Only used wax, clay bar, and wheel cleaner. I'm happy with the stuff
I have every product you have on your bench plus Finis wax. Been using Bilt Hamber for 12 years or so and they never let you down. I like the way BH don’t make a fuss about their stuff and let word of mouth do the talking. Love their new branding and see their in the USA now too so good luck to them👍
The force is strong in this one!
Love their stuff. I use their Auto Foam for cleaning my wheels as a lot of soaps go 'flat' once I start cleaning the wheels. I use maybe a capful in a bucket and it still seems 'soapy' enough after doing all 4 wheels. I use Gyeon Bathe+ for weekly washing but I'm very tempted to try their Auto Wash. Any thoughts between Bathe+ and Auto Wash?
Other than Auto Wash & Double Speed Wax, every other product I've used from BH has been fantastic. As you know Jon I'm a massive fan of Surfex, Auto Foam, Korrosol & Cleanser Polish. I don't clay bar much now but always keep some of the BH soft clay about for the alloys. Atom Mac is the same, very niche product but wouldn't be without it as it's great for brake discs. Also worth noting it makes a good maintenance wheel cleaner, it has surfactants in it which BH really should advertise more.
I need to try Auto QD at some point, just have so many others to use up first, I'm sure you know the feeling 😉🤣
What makes for a great maintenance wheel cleaner?
Totally agree, Auto QD is massively underrated - and it smells good!
Was recommended BH by a fellow car enthusiast, I 2nd majority of your comments, only ones I can't agree with are the ones I haven't tested yet :P but I'll take your word for it! ;)
Been using BH products for over a year now... I even use the surfex to de grease my bicycle drivetrain.
Awesome brand,and made in the UK too 👍👍
Can’t fault any of there products Jon and whilst I occasionally other brands generally BH are my weapon of choice and my go to product..!!
Good to see a quality, value for money British brand. I’m coming from AutoGlym to BH. Can’t wait to try out the fallout remover.
I’m working with their suffex hd now and it’s great but like mequires over your way it’s expensive for us here in the USA. Megs is cheap for us and BH is on the high side. 50 bucks for the 5 liter is the norm. But thanks for this break down of the line. Megs is about 23 for a gallon.
BH products are fantastic bought autowash 6 months ago still have just under half a bottle and i wash the car roughly every weekend and i also use more than the recommended dosage that’s serious value for money, the only complaint i would have with them is the DS wax it can be quite hard to buff off especially if left to dry out in the cold i find it toughens up, its not terrible however just means i have to work the ol buffing arm a bit harder but the quality of the wax durability and hydrophobic quality is unbeatable at the price point
Bloody love Bilt Hamber, well priced and work like a dream. But same as you, wish they did a glass cleaner and external trim dressing.
I really like BH as well used it on and off for years to try other stuff, but have gone back to it a few times. I always have something of theirs in my arsenal. The Auto Wheel imo just cannot be matched its that good. Absolutely spot on about the Claybars and APC though. The other thing I like is they spend their money on making the products actually better not like marketing rubbish like Auto Finesse and the like. The only other one I ahve come across that works well is Stjargloss and Dodo juice.
I find the Auto-wash bottle perfect, it's easy to stick in a syringe and get the right amount to the bucket that way. Other manufacturers have small openings and tall bottles and once there is little product left, it's hard to get to it with a syringe and I end up pouring a random amount in the bucket typically using too much of the product.
Love the surfex hd only down side it doesn’t foam up from
Cumbria 👌
Yeah BH products are great and awesome value.
Although I would love to see a tar remover at some point in the near future.
Great message here Jon is that you need to be prudent when purchasing detailing products in that one should always try and buy the concentrate versions where ever possible and dilute yourself.
Paying big money for water is ludicrous and there are far too many naive people who don't realise this.
A great example is the ONR rinseless wash. A 1 gallon bottle would last a hobbyist years and years.
You and the products are my go to products bud
Just ordered some more double speed wax a couple of nights ago.
We have a hose ban here just now - I double waxed three cars with double speed wax, ahead of the ban.
Ban might be relaxed in December, but likely no water blasters.
I normally use ONR and TW ceramic spray. Might give this a go once I’ve run out
Hi John,
Another great video mate. I was wondering if you could do an in-depth video for us noobs/beginners using the Bilt Hamber products & show us how to dilute the products to what ratio & give us a step by step guide on how best to use the products? You've probably done many videos in the past on it but doing a dedicated video for the amateurs amongst us would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work, we all appreciate your dedication. Thanks.
Yo fred I have covered this mate. Put in Bilt Hamber Brand Review into you tube. that will cover a lot of this. But also put in "how to calculate bilt hamber PIR" I can definetly do some more videos on this though. just working on a lot for the next ocuple of weeks.
@@ForensicDetailing - Hey John, thanks for that. I’ll definitely have a look at those videos. If you can do some more videos relating to this topic it would be very helpful & appreciative. 👍👌
Hello Jon can korrosol be diluted. Can you or anyone else answer this please.
Thank you
I’ve used their clay bars for ages now. Their snow foam is ace; doesn’t look as impressive as others being a bit runnier but it lifts crap far better than others I’ve tried.
Spot on Jon. Quality products & very economical.
I’ve had a bottle of Korrosil for about 5 years lol might try auto wheels after
I'm planning to order some of the bilt hamber products after watching your review, just quick question about auto wheel and korrosol , are they concentrate? Need do be diluted ? Or they pre-diluted and ready to used ?
Hi, how much water can I mix with the alloy wheel cleaner?
Thanks
Only thing I don't like is the double speed wax, naviwax is much easyer to use but everything else is fantastic, great channel by the way👍
Jon I would say that BH are similar to your channel...no frills no bs but effective....keep up the good work mate
;)
I love all their products I use double speed wax but find it takes too long to apply has anyone used their spray wax i never see any reviews on it
