Pre wash and Pre cleaners
Over the past number of weeks here in Cork in Ireland, we have gotten some pretty crappy weather. Day in, and day out we have been battered by heavy rain and high winds with no end in sight. As much as I like to battle the elements and try to keep my car as clean as possible, there was just no point. At any stage when I tried to wash the car, it would be dirty again in a matter…
I recently received a foam cannon upgrade thanks to the guys over at MJJC Foam Cannon. This upgrade came just in time as my old cannon was getting a bit tired after serving me well for the past number of years. The previous lance I was using was also an MJJC product, but an older version with a completely different design. I wasn’t aware that they had now released a “Pro” version which came with a few design upgrades over…
I was surprised to hear that one of my favourite car detailing brands Bilt Hamber were releasing some new products. I have always admired the Bilt Hamber brand as I feel that they perform a lot better than some of the competition with less marketing hype and are always price their products reasonably. They don’t release new products very often but their new offering is something they call their “Touch System“. This new system comprises of two separate products called…
Following on from some of my recent posts about maintaining my Ceramic Coating application, another product that I picked up shortly after applying the coating was CarPro reset. I have heard many great things about this shampoo and it comes highly rated on most detailing sites and forums, and some claim it to be one of the best shampoos available to buy. Up until now, I was using Auto Wash by Bilt Hamber and I found it exceptional in terms…
Knowing how to remove wax from a car is a necessary skill that every detailer, both amateur and professional should be comfortable with. Even in 2020 with so much information at hand both on detailing forums and youtube channels, there is still some confusion around this topic. The good news is that despite all the misinformation out there, the process for doing this is quite straightforward! In this post, I will cut through a lot of the BS out there…
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will know that I recently tried out “Auto Wash” by Bilt Hamber, and was pretty impressed by the performance and value of this shampoo. When I was picking up this shampoo on Amazon, I decided to also throw a big bottle of Bilt Hamber snow foam offering into my cart. “Auto Foam” is another well known and much-praised product from Bilt Hamber, so it was another one I was eager…
If you are not already familiar with Iron X from Carpro, it is probably one of the most popular fallout removers available on the market. A fallout remover is a special product aimed at decontamination (On Paint and other Surfaces such as Alloy Wheels) that has the chemical ability to help you to remove iron oxide particles from a surface without having to remove them mechanically. These particles are loosened up and agitated via a chemical process that allows for…
Angelwax is one of many companies I have heard great things about over the years but never got around to trying any of their products. Recently I found myself in a position where I needed to replace my current SnowFoam (Gtechniq W4 Citrus Foam ) and was looking for something a bit different. I have found the Gtechniq Foam very good and effective in its cleaning abilities, but this time around I was looking for something priced a bit lower,…
A Foam Cannon that I had been using for several years recently broke and unfortunately was no longer usable. I knew I had to find myself a replacement, as I really do like to incorporate the snow foaming process in my cleaning regime. If you have read my blog post on “Everything you need to know about snow foam”, you are aware of the many benefits of snow foaming your car before you complete a hand wash. Rip Off! I…
If you’ve landed here after checking out our Snow Foam article, chances are you’re now convinced that incorporating a snow foaming or pre-cleaning step in your car cleaning routine is a must. That’s great! A question that often pops up is, “What’s the best foam cannon for applying snow foam to my car?” Well, my answer would be: it depends. There are several ways to approach this, and it boils down to the equipment you already have (for example, if…
