I've never come across this brand. Or have I ignored them as they're not mainstream? Lesson learned: Don't pass up the little guys... That was a phenomenal combo! Thank you for bringing it to us. Particularly appreciated the part you demo'd the water only. That clearly showed the product's capability.
I had a feeling the pump sprayer was for the chop 😂 cheeky that. Them products look the absolute bees knees. This time of year those pre wash combos really come into their own and they certainly smashed through the grime. Big plus is they smell good and the foam doesn't leave suds all over the drive way! Another smashing video mate as always 👍👍👍
Thank you Sean... Yeah it'd be hard to find a fault with their performance - teamwork at it's very best 👌🏼👌🏼 That sprayer had to go 🤣🤣 as soon as I pumper it to add the pressure I felt my leg getting wet 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks again as always mate 👍🏼👍🏼
I have done the exact same thing thing with that exact same pump sprayer mate! it was even leaking from the same spot haha. Products looked spot on, if you didnt have time for a contact wash they look the perfect combo for a quick contactless wash. Great video as allways, this series you have going on has me looking forward to 12pm every Tuesday.
Thank you Dave, really appreciate that 😁 Aye the sprayers we're ok for a while, get what you pay for - just strange as you'd expect the trigger or pump to fail, not a pin hole in the bottle 🤷🏻♂️🤣 Products genuinely surprised me how well they performed, couldn't recommend them any higher 👍🏼👌🏼
Man, that prewash made the world of difference! I have a white truck that is always perpetually grey even after washing with a foam cannon and pressure washer. I hate using a mit, but it’s been necessary. This looks like a great alternative!
It's good stuff but I would add that the car did have some protection on it which does make cleaning much each easier... For commercial vehicles or even cars which are absolutely filthy and have no protection, I use another product which is even more powerful - it's a non-caustic TFR, absolutely safe to use on all exteriors (plastics & rubbers included)... I genuinely don't own a more powerful cleaning product - ua-cam.com/video/awydDQ_3iss/v-deo.html
Once again, the benefit of using snowfoam as a blanket to allow pre wash to do its thing has been proven. Superb products based on this, proper no contact wash with super results… What impact (if any) did it have on the paint protection?
What a fantastic combination that is. I've never used any Harpure products but I'll definitely consider using both of those. Keep up the good work sir. 👍🏻
Cheers Paul .. I was more than surprised! Especially given how filthy the car was! I'm going to be using this quite a bit only dialled back for maintenance cleaning 👍🏼 Thanks as always 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Looks a decent combo i use H D D ROAD RAGE paired with either GARAGE THERAPY SNOW FOAM or BILT HAMBER AUTO FOAM yes i realise you have to use a lot of product(500ml auto foam 500ml water) to get roughly 4% p i r but in my opinion its 1 of the best snow foam/pre wash combinations out there and like you i used to buy cheap sprayers buy cheap buy twice so treated myself to the I K SPRAYER PRO 9 it's a beast of sprayer I've just got mine full up with H D D ROAD RAGE 5-1 ratio keep up the informative videos big man 👍👌
Thank you Sid, much appreciated - I have decent sprayers etc but I keep those for my 'main' products and just use the cheaper ones for testing lol Good products you've mentioned too 👍🏼
Great review , thanks bud. Just a note , I've been leaving on foam and pre washes a little longer in cold weather with mush better performance. And if dirty after pre wash I hit it again. My theory is if it's not drying out it's still working .
I've used road rage before (I was given a small qty to test by a friend) and unfortunately I used it as a snowfoam - turned out to be utterly pointless but I've heard it's much better when used as a normal pre-wash. As for Bilt Hamber, I have always been a big fan, and although this series isn't about comparisons, I will say this... Had I added 50ml of BH Auto Foam to 500ml of water, it would not have performed like this, I know that from experience - it's a great product, but you need to use a lot of it 👍🏼
Maybe another day... Going by the instructions, I wanted the best results possible 😁 but definitely something I need to try out on a regular maintenance wash 👍🏼
Very interesting video Mark ,last weekend I washed the wife’s white Ford B-Max which had similar levels of dirt as the Mini using a pre wash combo of Koch Chemie at 5 to 1 and Autoglanz Piste at 9 to 1 and they done a good job but certainly not as impressive as the Harpure products I think you’re on to a winner there ,good to see some less well known brands used ,as always keep er lit big man 👏👏👏
And another local brand too Jim! Not that that swayed my opinion - as this brand knew all too well before they sent these (I wasn't a fan of their previous tyre gel - used in my 'autumn wash' video last year!!) but I was more than impressed with this pair 👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼
Never heard of Harpure before, so thanks for the recommendation..looks like really decent products... Just to get my head straight isn't 1 litre water to 100mm product a 1-11 ratio?
Hi Derek and thank you! Yes it is indeed - there's a lot of confusion about this where it would be so much simpler to just say 1:9... I think that's what most brands mean to be honest when they say 1:10!
@@SparkleanAutos don't think it needs to be a precise measurement, especially as it can be used at a higher dilution rate... Worked well enough for you
Have you tried just the snowfoam by itself too see if end results is any good and to see wether its the rapid10 doing the work or wether its the snowfoam.. just be good to see the end results. As at the moment iam usimg bilt hamber touchless as a snowfoam with autobrite tfr as a starter.. like to see a update and if any good i be thinking of buy some . Thanks
I actually haven't tried it on its own, i don't find much benefit from Snowfoams on their own in the winter months and I've been recovering from surgery for a few months now! I will try it over the summer but tbh, I don't expect it to be a maga cleaner being pH neutral - I think it's more of a case of being designed/formulated to work WITH the APC... And using it that way it does extremely well 👍🏼
Hi Mark. That's a very good question. I've tested a lot of Pre-wash products lately and this combo is definitely up there with the best of them. I wouldn't like to give a direct comparison without testing products side by side on the same car in the same conditions as that wouldn't be a fair comparison - but I would say that, at this stage, both would be on my top choices list if I had a proper filthy car to clean. I know that's a little vague but I test a lot of products from a lot of brands and I wouldn't want to single one out as best or worst without doing a direct comparison in the same conditions 👍🏼
@@markd5958 I'll be doing comparisons with lots of brands in the future when I have the time... Unfortunately I don't get paid for this and I can't justify the hours it takes to conduct fair testing without impacting my family life and family come first!

Hi is the prewash a high alkaline product ? I’m still looking for a good PH neutral snow foam, I just bought the Mitchell and king ph neutral snow foam and the reviews the website was good but I never buy something based on them, I don’t think it a great ph neutral snow foam exists unless you know one
To be perfectly honest Imran it's not something I pay much attention to - there's a lot of hype about products being 'pH neutral to help your protection last longer' but in reality, even a pre-wash that is higher on the alkaline end of the scale isn't going to be as detrimental to protection as a simple contact wash. pH neutral foams on their own, in my opinion based on what I've tested, don't have much cleaning power, if any. For that reason, I don't pay any attention and I'm not really fussed if a pre-wash is pH neutral or has a higher alkaline level. For the record, the foam in this video does happen to be pH neutral but I can't speak for the other product as I didn't test it or look into it. 👍🏼
@@SparkleanAutos In recent years I’ve never payed much attention to ph neutral snow foams ,since I coated my car in Mohs Evo I thought I’ll try to preserve it as much as possible just to see if it can last as long as they claim, last month I bought PH neutral yellow snow foam which wasn’t even yellow at the recommended dilution ratio and never had any cleaning power at all, so I bought a blue one from a different company which again exact same, not even blue at the recommended ratio and done nothing , The Mitchell and king one I bought but still waiting for it , I bought it as it’s on offer like £13 for 5 litres and it’s crazy as there’s a free delivery option at checkout and I’m getting it delivered for £13, other buyers claim it’s good but I’m skeptical, I think it will be best to use it with a citrus pre wash, thanks for replying and I’ll wait for your next one
@@M.E63 I'd just go for an alkaline product rather than ph neutral, I've seen comparison tests done and it make basically zero difference on longevity to a good coating. Also, for me having a clean panel before contact wash to prevent any micro abrasions, outweighs any slight negative. (Especially now in winter when it's more needed)
@@liggett12345 I got lots of products including alkaline, I’ve got LSP safe Alkaline products as well, I’ve always wanted a PH neutral good snow foam but never found it so far and I’ve tried a lot, mines a new car and and just like most new cars it’s got thin paint and I can’t keep polishing it every year so I need to minimise the swirls more than preserving a coating but I’ve always wondered if there is a PH neutral good snow foam but I don’t think so

Nothing visible when I'd finished the wash process, didn't feel the need to top it up 👌🏼👍🏼
