- CarPro Lift vs Ethos Foam Party - Battle of snow foams! In this video, I compare two snow foams to determine which one is the best! In one corner, we have the new CarPro Lift. Is has a high pH active surface foaming agent to help lift road grime. In the other corner, we have Ethos Car Care Foam Party, which contains concentrated cleaners to help break down road grime. It’s a pH neutral formula that’s safe for waxes, sealants and coatings. Who will win? Find out by watching the video!

Watch this satisfying foam cannon car wash on a dirty car video!
The CarPro Lift pre-wash has a foaming agent that dissolves and lifts away a large amount of dirt and grime in a completely touchless manner. Lift uses alkaline cleaning agents (pH 12), which are strong yet gentle and suitable for use with ceramic coated cars. During the panel dwell period, Lift’s bubbles will burst and move, encouraging soaking and cleansing agents to start working at lifting road grime by binding with its surfactants. 10:1 dilution is recommended.
The Ethos Foam Party pre-wash foam has an addicting tropical scent. Its lush shaving cream thick suds lift dirt and grime from the surface to enhance your washing process. It’s even safe to use in direct sunlight. Add 2 to 3 oz of snow foam in your foam cannon container, fill it up with water and you’re good to go.
IMPORTANT: Always adjust your dilution ratios for snow foams according to your setup. Many factors influence the thickness and richness of the foam, including: water quality (soft vs hard water), type of pressure washer, type of foam cannon, type of snow foam and dilution ratio of snow foam.

Bonjour Pan, super video 😉
Je te suis en direct de France
Et j'aurais une petite question, je suis à la recherche d'un shampoing au ph neutre pour renforcer ma protection de type céramique et l'effet hydrophobe, j'ai testé pas mal de shampoing mais je ne trouve pas chaussure à mon pied
C'est pour cela que je m'adresse à toi
Dans l'attente de ta réponse
Merci d'avance
P.S: j'adore ta chaîne de detailing 😉
Excellent video as always Pan! Foam Party is quickly becoming a fan favorite for its addicting experience and mountains of foam. Our goal was to make a pH neutral soap that was safe on any form of protection, while building the highest foam build with the longest dwell time possible. This enables your contact wash to have the most lubrication possible to reduce the risk of marring or scratching. Its designed to be used with every wash without affecting waxes, sealants or coatings. For those looking for a more heavy duty cleaner for winter clean up, CarPro Lift would be a much better choice!
Thanks again for the product highlight!
Thanks Tim! Yeah both were great, there are no real losers in this battle. You have proven once again that pretty much your entire lineup of products is awesome. And for those who want the richer thicker foam, then Foam Party has the appropriate name! It's some of the foamiest I have used. :)
Now that's being professional Ethos.👏👏👏 I'm gonna buy the product because of this comment
@@benoithebert9399, Riding the Coats Tail 😂 😂
Pan is like my Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid.
Yesssss! Now that is what I call supporting my channel! :)
Every time I watch a Pan video my wallet gets upset. 🤣🤣
You are right
Now I gotta place an order, I was doing so good to but that just got blown out of the water lol
I didn't spend a dime since November 2020. That's changed since last week,lol!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg ever since I watch his Adam’s graphene ceramic install I’ve been buying stuff non-stop. I had a lot of stuff prior, now I just want to try everything. His videos are so educational.
Snow foam performs better without a pre rinse by allowing the product to cling to the surface in order to soften debris and traffic film. Applying to a wet surface just makes it run off before it even has time to work. It’s all about the high pressure rinsing of the loosened contaminates once it’s had time to dwell.
Was thinking same thing. Think it's a waste to pre rinse.
@@tmtoplak222pre rinse with soap? Probably. But they can sell you more soap and you use more lol
With a ceramic coated car the water would sheet off pretty quick, leaving only a small amount of water on the panel. Plus you're mixing it with water through the foam cannon so you're diluting it there. I've tried it both ways and haven't seen where it didn't work one way or the other. It seemed to work on Pan's brothers car from what I could tell.
Excellent video pan! I used the carpro lift for the1st time yesterday on 3 vehicles that were heavily covered in salt & Canadian road grime. After letting the product dwell for approximately 10 minutes, i hit it with a 3500 psi pressure washer and the results were outstanding. 👌
👍🏻
Another good one Pan. I was waiting to see how CarPro Lift was working. I busted order 1L yesterday to use it on my coated car. I'll try it with a normal garden hose foam cannon.. I do not expect that much of foam. I'll get a good pressure machine soon from Matt. Thanks again!! Frank
Good stuff Pan... it's not just about the foam! CarPro really makes some good products
Ethos kind of reminds me of Adams Mega Foam. Shaving cream like thickness, good cleaning capabilities but takes a bit longer rinsing off.
well, Ethos is made by Adams so...
@@xmreeves Sure isn't.
Just purchased KC Green Star and picked up the lithium. Love the Eucalyptus smell. It suds like mad! Your brother is a lucky man to have you cleaning his car!!
He thanks me all the time haha. Great guy! We get along so well.
Thanks for this video! I really enjoy the side by side comparisons. Also getting a pros perspective during the testing helps provide detailed insight in what to looks for performance wise.
Glad it was helpful!
Another awesome presentation. It’ll be a long time before I try those products. Still need to go through my hoard of detail products.
Great video. I enjoy waking up to a new video. Does Carpro Lift strip any Graphene coatings, such as Graphene Wax or other types?
It is safe for use on full blown ceramic and graphene coatings that are in those glass bottles. I wouldn't recommend it for use on spray products, or liquid waxes or sealants.
I'm really impressed by lift! I'll definitely have to check it out. I tried Koch Chemie GSF for the first time last week and I'm BLOWN away with the sickness and foaming capability
Yeah GSF is pretty insane!
Add some Green Star in your mix for more of a punch and you’ll really be amazed!!
Good morning Pan! Grabbing another espresso to watch your video. Also excited to see the live stream with you on Monday! 👍

@@barbara4944 Yeah, one of our cats is the nervous type. We feel bad for him, both mostly.
Thanks Pan nice review 👌🏻 Picked up some lift the other day looking forward to giving it a go. The smells are definitely part of the experience for me too, good to know it smells like reset like you say it’s just a nice clean smell.
An excellent "battle"! Well presented and your conclusions about best use are spot on :) (love the Kranzle btw!!)
Glad you liked it!
Pan, given Lift can remove waxes and sealants, will it also breakdown ceramic toppers like Reload or others like Reload? I was just about to buy Lift and now have concerns. Perhaps only use Lift every once in a while? My cars are ceramic coated.
Great video, appreciate your insight. Recently picked up both Reset and Lift for my ceramic coated vehicle. Would using Lift on a weekly/biweekly basis for quick touchless washes be fine? Would like to minimize traffic film leading up to a contact wash with Reset as to avoid scratches, swirl marks, etc. when the time comes.
Carpro lift Precautions: Test the product on an inconspicuous area before use. I have never seen a snow foam or car soap say this before.
Are you thinking it may be too strong and stain trim or maybe damage wax, sealant or coatings?
It can start breaking down older waxes and sealants yes. It's meant for use on ceramic coated cars.
Merci Pan pour le video.
Même si jutilise toujours Adam's Megafoam, toujours intéressant de voir des comparaisons d'autres produits.
Great comparison, Pan!!!! You turned me into a Turtle Wax Flex user for my 2021 CX-5 (which is absolutely awesome) and so I'm wondering if CarPro Lift is safe to use on a TW Flex treated surface? Thank you!!!! Always love your videos!!
Yes it's safe for use on Flex. Maybe not as resistant as a full blown coating, but it should hold up for a wash with Lift every now and then. Worse comes to worse, you can always spray and rinse a fresh coat if you see hydrophobics diminish.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you, Pan!!!
Been waiting for u to review carpro lift, finally. Thank you.
More to come!
Great video, Pan! Would the Carpro Lift be safe to use on a vehicle with Turtle Wax Ceramic + Graphene wax or would it remove the protection??
Yes that would be ok
Thank you Pan!! Another great product video. Very interesting and informative challenge, I personally like this video as I get to see how they preform at no cost to myself. Your service is outstanding and invaluable to the home details/weekend worriers!!
Awesome! Thank you! What's your favourite video on my channel so far Carman?
Love the 2020 awards overall the most favorite so mu great information. Also loved the ceramic frying pan video was so cool. The AvalonKing inspired me so much I ordered 3 (thanks for the discount code 🙏🏻 ) to order 3 of them for my mustang and the wife and daughters vehicles CX5 and Mazda3. Might have to order a extra for the CX5
Pan, thanks for another fantastic video. Question, would this take place of carpro reset? Or would this be used first? Thanks, also better to used reload or hydro for sealer or both? I have carpro ceramic with Gliss if that matters thanks.
This would be used first as part of the pre-wash. Then you move to the hand wash with Reset.
Reload and HydrO2 are very similar in terms of performance. Just a different way to apply them. You pick one, not both.
@@PanTheOrganizer what would be your preference. I have used reload and work fantastic however I dislike the streams if you will. I know you have used both in different videos. So if carpro was only going to keep one and only one what would you take then? I ask because your opinion matters to me.
HydrO2 as I love it for wheels (along with Gyeon Wet Coat).
As far as scent, super foamy, and effective ph neutral prewash, foam party wins for me. The car pro seems great too. With the higher alkaline properties can see why it showed more on the cleaning side.
Hey Pan. Huge fan! Is Lift safe to use on something like Gyeon Can Coat? I know Can Coat is not the typical full blown ceramic coating so wondering if Lift is still safe on it. Thanks!
Yes it’s safe on CanCoat.
Never seen you use any bilt-hamber products . One of the best snow foams out there.
I've been asking too, can't get in Canada yet he said
I haven't seen them available in Canada yet unfortunately.
@@PanTheOrganizer CARZILLA , you should try the Fireball pearl also
@@PanTheOrganizer oh ok, there cleaning products are some of the most powerful we have here in the UK. Hopefully they make there way over to you so you can do some of ur reviews on them.
Pan is the man with the plan I understand!
Let’s go! How did you discover my channel by the way Adam?
Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on UA-cam as we surpassed 1 million subscribers and we have over 140 million views! I have been detailing for 27 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
@@PanTheOrganizer I started to get more into detailing and have used your channel to educate myself in the recent weeks. It's wild how much the industry has changed for the better. Appreciate all the effort you put into everything.
Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback. And yes I have never seen so much innovation and advancements in technology than in the last 3 years. And that's after 27 years of detailing. It's insane how lucky we are that there are so many brands fighting for our dollars, that they have to constantly innovate and use the latest technologies.

Thanks! Will do!
Good video, thanks... As for the pre-rinse before snow foam, I just don't get it... I would do a good snow foam loosens dirt and grime and then rinse. Not sure why pre-wash and foam.
That being said, never done a snow foam yet except at a local car wash this winter with a manual snow foam. Looking forward to trying it with my pressure washer in the spring-summer.
There are two different schools of thought on that. I like to pre-rinse, foam and rinse. Some go straight to foaming a dry surface, then rinse. What ever works best in your world. But I prefer knocking out what ever loose dirt and debris I can first, then spraying the foam to let it dwell and pickup things that it might had missed should there have been looser stuff on top... That routine works fantastic for me, so I stick with it until someone can prove there is a better method. ;)
It comes down to what is the purpose of the prewash and therefore foam. To me, it's to remove as much dirt and grime prior to the contact portion to minimize scratching the surface. Otherwise your spraying foam for the sake of spraying foam and you like the way it looks. The Ethos seems to provide little value other than it looks cool which has become the case with so many snow foams now a days. Foam in of itself is not going to pull too much dirt outside of big loose dirt and sand which you could do by simply spraying the vehicle first. Pan your video clearly shows that Lift did its actual intended job.
Thanks for watching Rodrigo. I hope you had a great Christmas!
There used to be early morning foam parties down here in Miami
Great video Pan!!! Can you do a snow foam battle of KC GSF vs Adams Car shampoo?
GSF is the better snow foam for sure.
Good Morning Pan and Thank You! Really helps us to understand when to use certain product(s) and their performance. Right Tools for the job in front of you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, Pan. I don’t know whether you get to respond on reviews a few months old, but I’ll try anyway.
First of all, on my last post I commented on how expensive this product is. You responded that in spite of the cost, Reset is a “superior” product. On your recommendation alone, I went ahead and purchased a bottle of 34oz. I actually used it a couple of weeks ago and let me tell you, it is worth every penny. If you are interested in foam, buy other products; if you are interested in a clean car, well reset is the best. Even the drying process is better. No streaks. No water spots. I used a leaf blower and a towel afterwards.
I noticed when I used the leaf blower to dry the washed car, the water just slid some much easier than when I used other sudsier/foamier products. I like it so much, it will my product of choice.
Now, if only you could provide a discount code to use when I buy it directly from Carpro. I think I’ll give Carpro Lift a try as well as a prewash. Anyway, my apologies. I should never question the wisdom of the great Pan, the Organizer.
Hehe yeah Reset is still my favourite shampoo for ceramic coated vehicles.
The paint is doll and what to do?
I miss someone do a new car with low gloss, make it as is should look and how to do.
Nice channel 👍
Great review Pan, what all in one polish would you recommend ?
If by all-in-one you mean a polish that lays down a bit of protection at the end (that's what a true all-in-one is) then Turtle Wax Ceramic Polish N Wax and the new Rupes Uno Protect are some of the best.
We have CarPro lift here in Australia works really well. Great to see the comparison between these two as Ethos products review highly. Thanks Panasonic 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I like the Etos Foam party better as it is very sudsy and has a pH neutral element to it. Great review Pan.
What’s up, Pan? Good morning. Another fine video to watch as I have My car looked at.
You can never have too many detailing products. 😃.
I think the Ethos would be better to Me. The CarPro product is a little runnier. I still like Adam’s Mega Foam a lot. Preference/choices!!!
Like always awesome video. You are really hitting it out of the park with your videos. Really enjoy this comparison video. Thank you Pan
Glad you like them!
Fantastic video Pan, great job! I feel like out of the Ethos and the Carpro I would personally pick the Carpro. Although both of them are great products.
Great practical evidence as product qualities 👍👍 water sheeting do overs, easy to see the difference/finish product
Thanks for watching Matthew!
very nice comparison👍I have a question . your washing water is softened .. at what level of hardness have you set your softener .. thank you for your answer😀
I don't set the hardness levels of my water. The softener just does its thing. In my previous home, I also had a water softener and had done water hardness levels analysis through a local water treatment specialist. You can see the before and after results here: ua-cam.com/video/G66IR8kS0uQ/v-deo.html
The more into detailing I get, the more I realise you can't go wrong with CarPro!
I agree!
Hey Pan - is the Lift safe to use with reset as a weekly maintenance wash on a matte finish. The only reason I ask is that Lift is not ph neutral. I just used Lift and Descale and I can definitely see more hydrophobic properties return to my matte finished!
I wouldn't use Lift every week. Once a month perhaps. And for Descale, only use when needed. Perhaps a few times a year for a more thorough decon, like in my ultimate spring detailing tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/oTaFE_p2OAw/v-deo.html
For weekly washes, CarPro Reset as a shampoo is the best, and a pH neutral snow foam like Koch Chemie Gsf is all you need.
Hi Pan may i ask your opinion on the meguiars ceramic coating kit i think it's fairly new and over here in Ireland i am very limited on some of the products that i can get. Thanks very much for taking the time to read my message hope you are well and keeping safe. Regards Terry McDonnell.
Cheers Pan, a good way to start a weekend
You bet!
Great video Pan. I love it. By the way seeking your expert help what is the best ratio to dialute CarPro Lift & water if I want to use garden water hose foam gun. Thanks.
I don’t use foam guns unfortunately, so you’ll have to play with dilution ratios and adjust accordingly to your setup and conditions.
Hi Pan. Another great video. I have a question on a comment you made regarding CarPro Lift. Is CarPro Lift made for cars only with ceramic coating? On what type of protection can you use CarPro Lift? Thanks!!!
I would only recommend Lift on ceramic coated cars, as coatings can resist the higher pH level. Regular waxes and sealants would start to break down if you used Lift on those.
Thanks for the vid Pan 👍 I’ve used Foam Party and just yesterday Lift, and my honest opinion is Lift is stronger and left my paint cleaner. The thing with Lift to me though is I’m not sure I’d use it on a weekly basis because it is a stronger product. Again, thank you for the vid, I really enjoy them.
On a ceramic coated car, absolutely no problem to use it often.
@@PanTheOrganizer what product is not to strong but is good to use daily?
Happy Carpro fan boy here 👍👍 , I will have to get some of that to try out
Thank you Pan for this another amazing test video ! I just purchased a similar product: Adam’s mega foam, can’t wait to test it ! Cheers !
Thanks! I reviewed Mega Foam in this video: ua-cam.com/video/K2jvbG2H2pg/v-deo.html
If you like foam, you will get that in spades!
@@PanTheOrganizer good day Pan. What would your goto snow foam be for a foam cannon ?? Iam going to be buying a 6litre kwazar orion and want to purchase a bottle of soap
I've used the the ethos foam and really liked it. If I'm going to use a higher alkaline cleaner I would use a purple power vehicle and boat super cheap.. still carpro looks like a really good product too...great review pan
Thanks Barry!
Wanting to try the carpro lift now, but I wonder if it's better than Adams mega foam? Since that one won the award for the 2020 awards
Mega Foam still produces more foam, and it can be used on top of waxes, sealants and coatings. But CarPro has more cleaning power and a higher pH level, but can only be used on ceramic coated cars. You'll have to wait until my 2021 awards video to find out which one I prefer. But both are top tier snow foams for sure.
I prefer the Carpro Lift SF, because my car is ceramic coatet 🤟🏻 Thx for your Video
Thanks Bas! How did you discover my channel by the way?
I’m considering purchasing that Car Pro Lift.

Great video as always. Like the head to head comparisons!! 👍
Glad you liked it!
Not everyone has a pressure washer at the ready when they wash their car. Have you done or can you do a review of the best hose attached foam gun?
try to save money to buy pressure washer. hose foam cannons are gimmick
No, as foam guns don’t produce the same levels of foam. It’s more of a soupy mess.
What a coincident on snow foams. I ordered the Carpro Lift last week.
It would have been a good idea to use a cotton makeup removal disk on the rocker panels to see which removed more dirt.
I have found the thicker the foam, the longer it takes to rinse off, as you demonstrated, especially from the panel gaps and around the doors and trunks. A good video for your viewers to decide on which type of foam thickness to use. Ozz
Hey pan first up great review,funny thing I just got my carpro lift delivered this morning guess this is ok to use on my car iv got meguairs ceramic spray wax on it.Keep
To the 1-10 ratio.All the very best stay safe 🏴🏴🏴👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wouldn't recommend Lift to be used on regular waxes/sealants on ceramic sprays like Meguiar's...
Great video-used LIFT yesterday and it did exactly as you said! Great product 😄
Hey Pan GREAT! Video - also from my understanding Lift can also be used as decon as well.
As a decon? This doesn't have iron removing capabilities.
I really like Ethos Ceramic Shampoo in my foam cannon. Unbelievable foam thickness.
What's up Pan!!! another great video👍👍⚠️⚠️. I definitely prefer Carpro Lift and after contact washing Lithium Double Tap as you told me excellent product great result Thank you very much friend like always greetings from Panama City👌👌👌🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦
When you are showing the rear quarter panel you should do a side by side comparison and edit that in so we can see them and compare them
Great comparison test and both are great products to use. The ph scale tells me which product to use for ceramic coated or waxed vehicle.
Thank you!
@Pan the Organizer What do you think on using high PH snow foam like Lyft and wash and coat shampoo like Bathe+, is it enough protection for the paint or should I use an additional type of protection like wax/sealant/ceramic? Thank you for the advice :)
Bathe+ is meant more as a maintenance soap if your car is already ceramic coated. It does not offer enough long term protection (maybe 2-3 weeks). I would for sure recommend a full ceramic coating application on your car first, and then you maintain that finish with either a silica infused soap (like Bathe+) or silica spray sealant (like Gyeon Cure) once every 2-3 months.
I know the Ethos foam party is GREAT in the sun.. How is the CarPro left? (yes ppl I know it's not ideal but sometimes you have no choice.)
I wouldn't recommend Lift being used in direct sunlight.
Fun video. Question. Maybe for an episode. How can you determine if a vehicle has a ceramic coating? Most detailers do not put a sticker in the door jam containing the info.
2nd. How can you safely remove a ceramic coating if someone has done a poor job? Is it always harsh when removing it?
To see if a car has a ceramic coating try sliding across the hood.
If a coating a been applied improperly it will usually wash off or wash off in sections. If you’re talking about high spots you’ll have to machine them off.
Morning coffee.. and vids!!! Great video here. Seems lift definitely did a better job in terms of pre cleaning 👍 I need to try that stuff!! I looove Ethos foam party!!! Great foam smell is insane haha. Both great products here.

Hey Pan, would you recommend CarPro lift if my vehicle doesn't have any type of coating, sealant, or wax applied? Or should I go with something that is pH neutral like Adam's Mega foam? Would this be a good protect to use if I plan on applying a sealant, or wax after my wash? Also realized that you mentioned that it is safe to use on ceramic coated vehicles and does not strip away to coating, but would this strip sealants and waxes?
CarPro Lift is a heavier cleaning pre-wash snow foam, meaning it helps to remove traffic film and grime off ceramic coatings. You could use it as a pre-wash on an uncoated vehicle too. As long as you're not using it on a vehicle protected by a regular wax or sealant, as the higher pH could strip that protection off over time.
Hi Pan,
Do you think the CarPro Lift can be used on the Turtle Wax Flex and TLC CeraTrim?
Thanks!
Yes, absolutely. Although Lift is best used on cars with true ceramic coatings (ones in glass bottles) as those have even more chemical resistance.
Legend is back 🇨🇦
I saw that Sprayway has an SiO2 wax that is in a spray can. It looks pretty cheap. Maybe you should do a video on that.
Hi Pan, off topic what’s the best way to rustproof a car? Have you thought of doing a video in that for us Canadians ??
eii pan sorry for the question again.
The reset shampoo applies to cars with ceramic protection, but there is also ceramic protection in Spray, is it the same thing ?! Ceramic spray can not be used reset right ?
Reset can be used on cars protected with ceramic spray yes.
@@PanTheOrganizer if it is not ceramic, it is not recommended to wash over waxes and common sprays like waxes in carnauba paste is not it?
Hi Pan, I wonder what are the brand of the measuring cups that you were using in the video. Thanks.
They're not available anymore unfortunately.
Hi Pan!
Since the CarPro Lift has such a high pH-level, can it cause any damage on chrome details on your car?
It will not damage exterior surfaces. It was meant to be used a snow-foam. The chemists behind this are very aware.
Hi pan I love your videos I've learned an unbelievable amount from you but I'm still wondering about the pH of lift that you say so alkaline that might be bad for sealants. if the dilution is 1to 10 that brings your pH Down from 12 to approximately 7.2 or 7.3 which is a normal pH is not alkaline at all when it's comes out of the foam Cannon. Am I missing something?interested in your thoughts
According to CarPro: "Lift uses pH12 alkyl cleaning ingredients". I don't know what the effective pH is once diluted though. But it's safe on coated vehicles (at least vehicles coated with quality coatings like CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0).
I have been using Lift for a long while now on coated cars for maintenance, and it always works great.
There's also more to cleaning power than just pH level by the way. Quality of surfactants, emulsifying agents, other ingredients in its chemistry, etc.
Take CarPro Reset shampoo for example. It's technically pH neutral, yet everyone knows how good it is as a maintenance wash on coated cars to remove road grime and traffic film. CarPro IronX is also pH neutral, becomes slightly acidic when it reacts with iron particles in the exothermic chemical reaction, yet despite it being neutral, it's such an effective iron contamination removal spray.
I’m trying to do a full post-winter reset. I’m getting my ducks in a row. The TW ceramic is just about dead, so will the Lift be a safe bet? I’m trying to really deep clean, but don’t want to etch the clear coat.
Carpro Lift was the better of the two, but not all cars are ceramic coated. Is the Carpro product ok for non coated cars?
I wouldn't recommend using Lift on cars protected with regular waxes/sealants. This is meant for ceramic coated vehicles.
@@PanTheOrganizer Would it be okay on an unprotected vehicle you want to strip wash, though? At present I use Meguiar's Wash Plus after Purple Power Vehicle & Boat Wash in the foam canon for a strip wash... not always very effective...
Thanks pan for the video i like the way u explain thing. I enjoy watching your videos
Glad you like them!
Un autre bon vidéo Pan, merci.
talk in English please
@@lordjaashin translation: another great video Pan, thanks!
Hi Pan what snow foam do you suggest for a car coated with Bead Maker, I find that snow foams don’t stick to the car at all so aren’t effective

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan. The Adam’s doesn’t work to well with Bead Maker, but I’ll try the P&S 👍
Pan, I liked the video. Perhaps due to the alkaline pH, the Lift performed better than Ethos, given that this provides greater power to remove organic dirt. What is your opinion? Grateful for the attention. Waston Ribeiro - Brazil
Yes Lift has a higher alkaline level so has a bit more cleaning power. It's meant for ceramic coated cars. Since Foam Party has a more neutral pH, it's safe on waxes, sealants and coatings and produces tons of great foam.
@@PanTheOrganizer , Thank you very much for the feedback, Pan. I am impressed how the Internet makes the world and people more interactive, allowing the sharing of information and content. Thank you very much for all the tips you have been teaching us with your UA-cam channel.
You can't compare a Alkaline pre-wash sope with pH 12 who have a great cleaning ability with a pH neutral (pH 7) foam shampoo. That's like a compare a ferrari with a Ford Fiesta.
Just FYI Note that Carpro Lift contains the punch of an all purpose cleaner unless you heavily dilute it. It will strip waxes and some sealants from vehicles if used at a 1:10 ratio.
Yes. I only recommend Lift for ceramic coated vehicles.
Hi Pan. As you mentioned Lift isn't a PH neutral pre-wash so you don't recommend using it on paint sealants. Does that mean you don't recommend to use it on my car which is ceramic coated but I also try to keep it protected using CarPro Reload and Elixir?
You can absolutely use Lift on ceramic coated cars, that is what it's designed for!
Can Lift safely be used on cars that aren’t ceramic coated, but that have tons of dirt, grime, loads of bugs, and visible paint contaminants??
Yes. But if you have a regular wax or sealant, Lift will break that down and potentially strip it, as they don’t have the same chemical resistance as ceramic coatings.
@@PanTheOrganizer I really appreciate you taking the time to reply!!!
Do you always use a pre wash? What do you use on a weekly basis for your 1 2 punch combo for a ceramic coated car.
I always pre-wash yes, 99% of the time, if I'm in no hurry. I wash my car twice weekly. I made a video called "Wash & Talk" where I go through my wash routine with my car here: ua-cam.com/video/OfA6We4Mvak/v-deo.html
@@PanTheOrganizer my brilliant finish foam Cannon keeps rusting at the metal ball does yours do that to?
Detailing szn is almost back! Time to dial back in with my boy Pan
That's right!!! Let's GOOOO!
Pan..carpro lift is alkaline & ethos is ph neutral..was the performance difference due to this..?
It's partly due to the pH yes, but also to the rest of the product formulation which are industry secrets for obvious reasons.
Another great video 📹Pan. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
