APC / Pre-Wash Product Shoot Out - WHICH IS THE BEST?

[@bennevis21]

I use BH Surfex at 4% for a prewash with AG snow foam on top. Also, use BH Surfex at 1 to 10 for tyre and wheel cleaner. I got a 5 litre for about £16 a few yeares back.

You certainly put your back in to this one. Appreciate your work.

[@miscellaneous5215]

Thanks for the review. I like the Route 66 sign in your shop. We can now get BH here in the US. I have Touch Less and really like it. I was thinking of getting more BH products, but Labocosmetica's 3pH system looks really good too.

[@loboantonio2486]

Probably the best and most complete test of apc ever viewed! Brilliant,amazing job and most important HONEST. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thank you. Glad you liked it 👍

[@dannyc4871]

Great video, Matt and thank you for taking the time to do these tests. I’m on a budget so BH for me.

[@jackmason2792]

Thoroughly enjoy these shoot out videos. You can see just how much work and passion that has been put into this

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Thank you 👍

[@pigeonpoo1823]

Excellent detail, thank you. I keep spray bottles with BH Touchless 1%, Surfex at 2%, 5% and 10%. Seems excessive, but covers 99% of my cleaning needs (home, car, bike). And GT Decon for 'mum, how has your car got that bad'. My weighting is different to yours with the value and versatility trumping everything else. I have tried others, GS from your test, but will stick with BH. Thanks again

Great work Mat. Thanks. I love Greenstar as i use it on wheels,tyres,engine bay, prewash and interior. I tnink it has anti corrosive ingredients too.All KC products are bloody great really and well priced for the quality . Simple but distinctive packaging aswell.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

From those I love Bilt Hamber Surfex HD and Koch Chemie Green star. Bilt Hamber Surfex HD extremely versatile with dilution ratios. Yes, do a PIR video, thanks. I have always used for leather a PIR 1% and sometimes on fabrics that are dirty from 1 to 2% but always test first. The other products are not available for us here unless they're at a provider in USA or Amazon.

[@leewinney2449]

I think Surfex would take the win for me, based on how much cheaper it is. Could probably up the cleaning ability by using a higher % and still being cheapest.

[@Mogsy28uk]

thanks for the effort on this Mat. GT citrus is quite good, my usual go to is Infinity Wax Pre-wash Citrus, which can be diluted also.

[@BrianW1612]

Of the ones I've tried which is KC GS, BH Surfex & Valetpro Citrus APC, Surfex just pips GS for me but both are excellent. VP lacks cleaning power but I think it makes it more suitable for interior use personally.

[@vadimyevdokymov7216]

Best test. Cool video. Thanks for your work

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Mat, great video on these APC products,I'm surprised that Auto Glym is at the bottom end.the Koch Chemie one is pretty good,I think you can dilute this GS compared to auto glym.

[@marccartledge2752]

Try Detail Bugs citrus pre wash I love it!

[@simonbradshaw3708]

I currently use Citrus Magic and I'm very impressed with it's performance and dilution ratios. I'm not sure it's available any more which is a real shame.

[@laurapalmerTDGE]

Tried the CM in the past, the GS shifts dirt better and is more versatile. And rinses off better too. ^ my experience.

[@mercedes_and_more]

Koch Chemie is pronounced as a Scottish Loch but with a “K” 👍

[@kriskelly6458]

You should try KKD citrus magic, I believe it’s hard to get now. It really is what it says on the label… magic

[@kriskelly6458]

I’m pretty sure the old label on surfex used to have a list of uses eg interior, exterior, leather etc

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

I try to use products made in the USA when possible. SO my HIGH pH soap is Purple Power Vehicle & Boat Concentrated. VERY reasonable priced at $9.00 a gallon (US). I am guessing, all of your products you are promoting are not made in the USA? AND will not cost $9 a gallon? Thanks Mat...

[@TheDetailingSpace]

Not always, we get some US products here... I have turtle wax on the channel often, recently got some P&S stuff. We get Chemical Guys here (I've not used it for years), and I think if we look around we can also get Adam's.... Oh, and of course meguiars

[@DownloaderVideo]

@@TheDetailingSpaceDon’t waste your money/time with Chemical Guys….the worst detailing products brand ever….lots of products that do exactly the same and very poorly for that matter…they are just a relabeling brand with a lot of social media presence to help with the hype but they are literally crap, relabelled overpriced crap period.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!!!

[@Nath92L]

Your cleanability test is nonsense. The results don’t match your rankings. Not only that you did not mention the dilutions that you used each product at?

[@TheDetailingSpace]

I used each at the ratio the label says... I kinda thought that was obvious

[@Nath92L]

@@TheDetailingSpacenot obvious at all when they specify ranges of dilution…
