CARPRO Lift! Highly concentrated pre-wash foam!!

Today, we put CARPRO Lift through the Apex Detail Review Process! CARPRO Lift is a highly concentrated pre-wash foam agent that dissolves and softens dirt and grime so it can be easily removed during the wash. Suitable for use with all foaming tools, canisters, guns, and pressure washers, CARPRO Lift produces a thick foam designed to prep the most embattled areas of the vehicle.
Use LIFT to soften bugs, baked on dirt, and more. Lift is formulated specifically to offer maximum wetting and rinses off easily as well. It is not a superficial high foaming product but has been designed as a true active surface agent. ​During the panel dwell period, Lift’s bubbles soak the hardened debris and allow it to release from the vehicle with ease during the wash.
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.

Its so refreshing that Brian and other detailers, don't sell out to the devil for money and we only get his honest view, whether its good or bad. Its now come out that Pan the organizer, charges anywhere from $13000 to $20000 Canadian dollars for him to review companies products and you guessed it, he never says a bad word on his reviews and now we know why. Thanks for being honest Brian.

Depending on the budget,we use a protectant in line with the cost. Currently looking at Apex Rehydrate Sheet. We also use Griots spray on Wax. Cost per vehicle is important in the Latino market here. Budgets are low,expectations are high.Interiors are higher on the list. Cheers Brian.

I just learned that The Clean Garage, which was the only US based importer of Bilt Hamber, will no longer be carrying it. It was like an arrow through my heart, especially because I could go and pick it up locally. I have no idea why. They mentioned something about how it's annoying to deal with the import process. Though I don't see how it's any different with any of the other overseas products they carry. Thank god I'm loaded up on Bilt Hamber products to at least last me a year or more...though what I'm going to do after that I don't know. I guess I'll have to pay the high shipping charges to get it directly from the UK...there's no way I'm not going to have access to my favorites: Auto-Foam, Touch-Less, Auto Wash Shampoo, Surfex HD, Atom Mac, Cleanser Fluid, and Korrosol.

I’m going to try it when I resume operations and use up the current foams I’ve been using if I can get it shipped to Maui. That’s always an issue. I use Reset a lot and thought this would be the ideal companion.

[@rozaroza5294]

I could be wrong, but it seems like you’re using the Bilt Hamber Auto Foam at a much lower PIR than what Bilt Hamber recommends (4-5% PIR), if you really want it to clean well. For a 2.0 GPM pressure washer you should be adding around 300 ml of Auto Foam to your foam cannon, which is about 10 oz. That’s to achieve a PIR of 4%, if you wanted 5%, it’d require even more product. (This is assuming you’re actually achieving 2 GPM out of the pressure washer with the foam cannon attached. Their instructions for actually testing your output are very useful, and will give you exact, tailored to you, dilution ratios). Yes you could use less, for less dirty vehicles. But especially in the case of comparison to another product, where you do use their proper dilution ratios, I think it’s unfair to handicap the Auto Foam by adding less than what’s recommended.

[@ryanmuliloda4405]

Hi Brian! Can I ask how many ounces Carpro Lift and BH AutoFoam you've placed on the foam cannons for the strip tests at 9:30 ? Most foam cannons filled with 1000ml paired with different pressure washers give an output of roughly 10liters on average. If you've also placed 90ml (3 ounces) of Carpro LIft and BH AutoFoam on the foam cannon tests mixed with 900ml of water (starting at 9:30), that would be roughly 9000ml of output with 90ml (3 ounces) of product mixed in. That would be on the 1%PIR range. The normal bucket strip test (starting at 7:00) was also 9000ml of water mixed with 90ml of product. That would also be in the 1%PIR range. But I'm curious as to why the foam cannon tests had a much lower pH compared to the normal bucket strip tests when they both are roughly in the 1%PIR dilution. Thanks so much Brian!

[@151motorsport]

Brian, isn’t BH’s dilution closer to 1:1 since they recommend a PIR percentage? Would that change the strip test since it would be a higher concentration of chemical?

[@apexdetail85]

It would. Way to harsh to my liking. But yes it would greatly change results. Closer to tunnel wash levels.
