Hi Jon, how come you sprayed BH Autowheel on to your cars bodywork, i can completely understand Korrosol or Surfex HD, just not Autowheel, is this one of your secrets ??

[@ForensicDetailing]

just using it to shrink the fallout embedded in the paint.. ideally use korrosol but I just had it there.

[@JasonJPWimages]

Some great tips again John. That red is so deep and glossy. Looks excellent 👍.

[@kakashi99908]

Using a wash mitt in car soap seems a lot safer than just using a dry or even damp microfiber towel for the fallout remover like most people do I will have to try that out next time.

[@andrewwilshaw3022]

Watched my neighbour polish his van just the once, didn't wash it till after 1.5 hrs of scouring the paint stood back and admired the effort he'd put in. 😂Oh yeah it was a cheap two handled machine to boot!!!!!

[@davidreid7089]

Really enjoyed the video. So my plans for the ST150. At the end march its getting its second Decon. Last year i only mopped the top surfaces. This time ill compound and refine the whole car. I have some fusso on the way to protect it. Up until now ive been using blue velvet topped with purple haze but it just doesn't bead well or last as long.

[@icebear_racing]

Lovin the new tunes mate!

[@lighty6936]

one bucket wash method, double foam and tar remover, decent idea for a quicker wash

[@benlewis96]

November last year i took my EP3 Type R my car on track round the Silverstone GP circuit, i fitted some pretty aggressive brake pads for the trackday. When i got back and gave it a clean both sides of the car felt like 80 grit sandpaper. Another 4 months gone and it needs a full decon again just down to the crap weather, lots of tar.

[@ForensicDetailing]

yer the track puts like a years worth of contamination on the year literally. so much fallout I had doesnt show up so well on the camera on the red car but it was literaly plastered in fallout.

[@rice-rocket]

Hello Jon, Nice video! Your motor looks proper glossy! 👍I will be doing the same thing to mine. The amount of tar in particular is unbelievable. I will be doing a three stage decon and two stage polish on mine. Living in the Peak District though, I will wait until the end of April as they will still be chucking salt down until then.

[@COPD_REHAB_GUY]

She is looking well, just a quick question, do you, like me, try and pick an optimum time to get the car finished before the sun comes round the front of the house? 😊

[@ForensicDetailing]

right now its not that important but yes sunlight on the panels even in spring start to play a factor. we move from crappy winter where its good to clean and detergents dont dry up but 2 minutes afte ryou clean it its dirtty again... Moving to summer where suddenly detergents and water drying on the car becomes the number one enemy.

[@stuartelliott1933]

Or before the wife gets up and starts to annoy you? 😂

[@DavidC1]

also be careful putting the jet of water too close to the tire...i accidently got too close and it started to destroy the rubber....i caught it very quickly...almost instantly..but if i didnt it could have done serious damage if left longer.

[@ItsRyan.]

Please can you do a dedicated video to the Flex blower?

[@duncanross4185]

My FK8 will be getting a wheels off thorough going over soon, so it will be interesting to see the route you go down. I've got Gtechiq C5 ceramic coating on the wheels, so I'll be giving them a close look and maybe put on more or some other wheel protection on top of the C5. TW hydrophobic sealant is on the paintwork. Can't say I'm impressed with the rather loud horrible backing music, but then I am 64.

[@nathanharrison5528]

I have a question. I've got a k4 pressure washer and a auto gleam snow foam lance but when you using the snow foam lance it comes out to fast and just goes everywhere is there a way I can turn it down?

[@azamatbagatov7486]

Of course I understand that you are always trying new products especially for video content purposes but do you usually use bilt hamber products the most in terms of maintainance

[@zaink7037]

Jon do you use or recommend any cleaner to put on the car just before putting snow foam on? I remember a KZbinr spray on something on the paint just before snow foaming and it took a lot of dirt off compared to just applying snow foam. Also very close to 100k Jon 😊

[@ForensicDetailing]

If you use bilt Hamber autofoam prewash its more power than most TFR's.. but you can springs a nice safe TFR or citrus on first, or greenstar or even surfex.. I generally never need to. I mean look how effective autofoam was on the landrover video.

[@zaink7037]

@@ForensicDetailing thanks Jon. Yes I forgot about that. Might try increasing the concentration of autofoam to add that extra cleaning power in

[@ForensicDetailing]

hey bobbi kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3rCnmWohJKCpq8

[@schnookieshullHull]

very surprised you didnt 2 bucket method when washing..

[@ForensicDetailing]

it doesnt make any difference, if you have a rinse bucket full of dirty water then you are not pre washing properly with the right product (thats much more important). but if you put your contact soap on with a canon you dont need the "wash" bucket. so you just have a rinse bucket to clean the mitt. So foam canon contact wash with single rinse bucket is sort of the same as the 2 bucket method. thing is car needs physical decon once a year anyway, if you physical decon with clay you have to polish.. so all this bull stuff about best methods of working etc... its all just that BS. clean your car however works best for you but after a while you will come to the conclusion a lot of what you hear on you tube or whereever it comes from is just industry jargon.. when you first discover detailing people are very "receptive" to all this glamour stuff like think creamy foam, and very expensive stuff and 15 bucket wash methods.

[@scottgibson3331]

[@thierryjau2543]

John, your car is always very glossy. In this video, you used K-C FSE which is PH 2,5. Please, could you clarify when to use or not to use FSE ? My car is only sealed so most of the time I use K-C QS just after a maintenance wash. I use FSE only to remove stains.

[@ForensicDetailing]

use FSE when you have some water spots would be my advice. Its PH is low because it contains hydrocholoric acid but in water small amounts. I had some tiny water foot prints I was going to top up the protection with SC Mist but soon as I saw the footprints I switch out the FSE.

[@marcocotali]

Hi John, witch sealant have you used this winter?

Hi, do you have any tips for cleaning satin black wheels? No matter what product I use I just can't seem to get them fully cleaned, there is always a "gritty" coating on areas I just can't seem to get rid of. Cheers

[@kinnonmcallister]

I would try a clay mitt or a mild polish like SRP for example.

[@ForensicDetailing]

yer this is the problem and the more agressive brushes and chems you use the more you risk dulling the finish over time. basic things are just clean more often dont let it build up. Autowheels from built hamber can really help clean when deep when you go in and do the contact wash. Over than this look at a ceramic coating for satin finish perhaps (ive not used any to give you a recomendation)

[@chrisclokey4840]

Thanks for the replies, I actually thought I was using pretty mild cleaner. Either bilberry or auto fanatic wheel foam and wheels woolies and a dedicated wash mitt. The car and the wheels also have a Getecniq ceramic coating applied.

[@ForensicDetailing]

try and use bio degradable products without phosphates and you should also try and let them chems just soak into the ground. Im not sure if its illegal to rinse stuff down storm drains someone will know but you should try to avoid doing that I think?

[@aquatics117]

@@ForensicDetailing Thanks for the reply, I've dug a bit deeper in the research and it seems to only be a against the law if you're running a business and doesn't apply to household activities Regarding this I still dont want to pollute so do you have a eco shampoo you can recommend?

jon, if bilt hamber is the best snow foam in terms of cleaning power, why do you choose to use other products? not trolling...genuine question? just trying a new variety...for fun...etc...? again...not trolling...just curious.

[@ForensicDetailing]

if you dont test other ones you will never discover better products. Ive been testign lots of different pre washes for an up and coming video. For me Dave I have a little core set of products I could use and Im covered. But as a channel gotta keep rolling on and keeping up with the scene really.

it works and its solid metal but theres a tiny bit of like pay with the cheap one I bought. so if you can buy a system of gun and wand that are tested to work togther rather than what I did which was just go and buy the cheaper extention I could find.

Please don't pay BMW any money whatsoever for the Supagard protection that they almost certainly would have tried to sell you. Its like at least 10 years old technology and not very good either. I said no thanks.! But they put it on for free anyway after they tried to flog it for about 360 quid. Your question is very difficult to answer there are so many good products out there. Personally I used Turtle Wax Hybrid sealant. It was taking the detailing world by storm at the time. Two coats applied on the day I got it and 6 months later its still beading like crazy. Yes it's pretty cheap compared to ceramic coatings etc. But if it's doing a great job I see no reason to change it. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
