[@martin1649]

I'd love to see a bilt hamber factory tour or interview. I'm amazed that in today's world there's still a company that constantly pushes into development of (quality) producs rather than marketing, they would deserve that

[@tafl-9198]

I think brands like ADBL, Shiny Garage, CleanTech/Cleantle, Deturner, FX Protect, etc are doing the same.

[@chrismurray3198]

Used touchless today on my golf which after 2 weeks of piss awful weather was filthy. Absolutely brilliant stuff took virtually all the dirt off and made washing so easy.

[@johnmccolgan2177]

John thanks again for the information. Like the free bottle hack 👍. Glad to hear you can use over ceramic coating and asual very well explained. Answered every question you could have great video. 👍

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

Broooo you confirmed my insane suspicion this morning!!! I had to crack a brand new gallon of touchless in between washes today and the last two Washes of the day had thicker suds & better cling!! I was pleasantly shocked!! That was the thing I didn’t enjoy about the previous version of touchless, just a smidge to runny to last effectively as a mobile detailer here in Carlsbad California.

[@chriswebster3197]

Another great video Jon, I tried Touch-On in a snow foam cannon after washing my car with Autobrite Magifoam and Purple Velvet shampoo and didn't have any problems. I was quite impressed with it.

[@liamcollister]

I did notice my last bottle of Touchless foamed more. Thanks for explaining!

[@matthewberry6158]

I used it for the first time today, amazing results!

[@jamesmoirano4271]

Nice one Jon, loving the hack 👍🏼

[@AB-80X]

Great video. Here's a suggestion for those who want a thicker foam but retain the properties. When mixing your lance, add 10 ml of a thick foaming soap like Magifoam or Chmical Guys snow foam. I've found that it worked for people with low pressure machines and pump sprayers to get a better foam. Just remember that it's not about getting whipped cream on your car, the foam has to be able to slowly migrate down the sides of the car. For this reason, also remember to give the adjustment knob a few clicks when you start by foaming the roof to thin it out a bit there.

[@ned9344]

I'm just about to get touchless so this help out alot, first time buyer too so hopefully it lives up to the hype

[@revorocks123]

I find BH Touchless so insanely good at pre washing that my quick washes consist of just touchless then a drying towel. i know this as I have always had spotless clean rinse buckets numerous times and by the feel of the paint. As long as the wax keeps the dirt from sticking it always all comes off. I dont get that with any other products. So good.

[@jonnybravo3055]

I'll definitely be trying Toughless when my current snow foam runs out 👍🏻

[@boldstreetlad]

I like to work one panel at a time, and I do like to make one small exception when using Touch-less on a vehicle and thats to make contact with a detail brush on emblems, rubber trim, glass, etc and even use a magic eraser on the glass and side mirrors during the normal dwell time, before the rinsing off. This then allows Touch-on to bond better in those areas, incredible finish on glass with only Auto QD to finish up later on in the detail

[@Xaviers300ZX]

Great info on Touch On and nice hack 👍🏽

[@RobWhittlestone]

You can use auto qd afterwards

I'm a novice detailer but learning quickly from your channel. I had never heard of BH products before but am now using them and I'm very impressed. Getting low on Touchless so I will be interested to see if the next lot performs differently for me. I will definitely be trying the Touch-on as well. Keep up the great work.

[@79blustone]

I'd like Jon to dig a little bit deeper and explore how to maximise B.H products and testing to see the difference. Seriously good stuff- favourite product (might have guessed somehow). My method- Touchless on dry paint, B.H shampoo then snowfoam Touch-on as an LSP, dry. Perfect and protective results every time. Occasionally I'll use Autogylm ceramic detail spray (got for free £20 Halfords voucher with my car insurance using Confused and another £20 Halfords to buy more detailing tools from my house insurance too 🤫). Can't knock B.H a superb brand and proud its British. Thanks to Jon for being their product champion otherwise I would never have got into loving this brand. 🙏

[@Retset]

When I use Megs HCW in a wet manner (I use a noodle mitt rather than spraying it all over the place!), I finish by spending 1 min on the windscreen with a clay mitt. Get's off the over sprayed product and makes the wiper blades silent! I'm going to get some Touchless soon as my Auto Foam is almost run out. I'll skip the Touch On, purely because I am happy with Megs HCW (dry application base layer or wet application, spray off).

[@mr5string]

Fantastic informative video John, thanks for always being so honest. Bilt Hamber really does take some beating.

[@toothlessturbo6182]

Just bought a pet drier off ebay. Haven't seen you review these yet....wonder where you stand with them...the ultimate way to keep the swirls at bay? Love the content Jon. 👌

[@frankstijnen1910]

What I do is not economical, but I like it. First , pre wash with Touchless. Then contact wash with auto wash. Last but not least Touch On in the foam lance and pressure wash off. Very satisfying.

[@TheDudeZach]

I used touchless and touchon for the first time today because of this video. I am now an addict.

[@daviddrcray3802]

I brought touchless recently. I think it maybe the tweaked version. I usually like a thinner foam as easier to rinse away from the car and drive. But this surprise me with how easy it washed away even with it being quite thick on application and was still effective pre wash. Event at 2% PIR it instantly reacted with dirt on the tyres almost like an APC. Which is usual for a snow foam. I don't think auto foam does that a 5%. However it was only summer dust so can't really make a judgement on the cleaning. Its does smell like Sugar soap from a DIY store, which make sense as it is a sugar based product.

[@vxlgsi]

The built hamber stuff is all amazing but the touchon stuff I have been using for about 10 years. It was sold as wetwax2000 £25 for 25 litres of concentrate that I mix down <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3050">50:50</a>. Its actually a product designed for car washes where the car is rinsed before it goes under the big blow dryer. It leaves an amazing shine and after applying and a really low pressure rinse the car is almost dry the water just runs off.

[@01123581321341]

No tried it but i’ve been meaning to - looks awesome. I’d use the leftover in a bottle for wheels i think especially in winter. What is inside the sachet i.e a liquid or a gel or a powder ?

[@marcjarvis3975]

Great idea about making up the bottle after. I’d just say that apparently it doesn’t keep for ever once mixed, Bilt hamber recommend no more than a month I believe

[@James-sf5bb]

I thought I’d got my pir wrong somehow, because I’ve been getting really good foam with the touch less compared to what others have been experiencing. It’s a great product and does exactly as it should and, it’s very well priced. I’ve not got round to using the touch on yet as I’ve not long waxed my own cars but, the next wash I’ll give them both a go. Love the double speed wax my vans never looked so good! coupled with the bilt hamber QD as a dying aid mixed at 10-1 mixed with RO water

[@AB-80X]

What equipment are you running? Lance, HP washer, pressure, l/hr? Also, what ratio of product to water are you using in your lance?

[@RideToLive102]

Hi mate, this is an unrelated question, I think ... I wash my car very rarely due to time constraints and it gets covered in bugs due to high mileage done in the country side also covering the car in mud. As a pre wash I've been using the BH touchless with a touch of BH surfex hd mixed in a snow foam lance. Question is, is that an overkill for a pre wash or acceptable, essentially am I wasting one or the other product by mixing them together in a snow foam lance? Cheers John, much appreciated the content you release !

[@bluerineimb1148]

Loving the new touchless however i cant say the same for touch on.. The water spots from rain are considerably worse on my black car vs using koche chemie protector wax, same goes for slickness... I could feel straight away while towel drying the paint was alot more grippy, and near instant water stains on windows after rinsing the product and towel drying, maybe its me so user error but ive gone back to koche chemie as nothing for me has beat it

I will buy 10 satchels of touch on and use it in a trigger sprayer as a spray on and rise wheel sealant. Not only is a pack of 10 satchels cheaper than a dedicated spray and rinse sealant it will last 10 times longer.

[@jamesuk9]

I do exactly this with Touchon. I mix 15 litres of water with one sachet in a jerry can and then use about 1.5 litres of the solution in a pump sprayer. 5 or 6 applications (6 months) per sachet. bargain!

[@eoghanhennessy15]

If you apply touch less with a lance, then rinse before applying touch on with a lance and then rinse and dry, you haven’t done a contact wash… would that still leave the car dirty?

Heh.. I still have my S-7050 (10 wpc) from high school (and the no name speakers). Yup, power switch blown. In the early 2000’s i started buying the rest of the line, from the ads in the day, where all the units were stacked up. S-8900A, S-7200, the S-7100 and bought another 7050 to be used for parts, but it was pristine, so I’ve left it alone. I only paid $9.95 for the other 7050, paid more in shipping! I just use a cheap power switch now. Nice video, thxs for the review.

one thing i do john, is when i use these ceramic low foam products, they always say to rinse off then dry, i usally skip the rinse and go straight to drying as the coating cures you dry and then the protection is stronger

[@michaelheathcote9488]

Touch on is absolutely brilliant. Through the snow foam cannon gets it into all the nooks and crannies especially your wheels. I find especially this time of year with autofoam/touchless/HD as a prewash there is absolutely no need for any two bucket method as the contact wash, as it is virtually clean already.

[@no_lft_shft]

It could be a combo of a lot of things. But the foam cannon he is using is known to have the best foam out of all other foam cannons. Also if you have hard water that will lower your foam as well. The MJJC cannon that he has imo is the best cannon for foam that's out right now. If you have the money and want good foam then I'd buy this one.

[@robertyoung76]

Agree with the hard water shout. Mine isn't great at 500ml in autoglym foamer

John uses a MJJC lance which uses a lot of product but also makes a lot of foam. No doubt John will also have a orifice mod you can do on the MJJC to make thicker foam as well. It’s market leading and high quality but you do have to pay for that. It’s no standard lance.

Currently I'm using LaboComestica Primus, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="70">1:10</a> as recomended by them, on a price of 46.95€ per 4.5L which work to 0.95€ per foam canon.

[@ForensicDetailing]

I dont find many prewashes can work at 1:10 in the lance on heavy films. you dont need to run at 4% PIR but you can if required.

[@AB-80X]

What kind of foam cannon do you have? 14 litres??? Most are 1 litre or even less. Anyhow, if what you have is a pump up sprayer and not a foam lance, you don't need to use 14 litres for a wash - that should last you 20 washes or more unless it is insanely inefficient. I like a 3% mix for my cars and I use 500 ml of water in a lance to foam up a car, i.e a full bottle on my MTM lasts me two cars. That comes to 15 ml per wash which equates to 330 or so washings from a 5000 ml jug. Anyhow, for 3% you need 420 ml for 14000 ml of water. Unless you overuse it somehow, I'd say there's about 200-250 washes in a 5l jug for you. That's a lot of detailing... Where are you located that makes pricing that high? I'm in Europe and pay about 25 Euro here in Denmark.

Hi, is the touchless capable to strip down/deteriorate in any way soft99’s fusso coat? Thanks!

[@ForensicDetailing]

Not strip but all prewash or detergents slowly degrade lsp

[@deeptechh]

@@ForensicDetailing Thanks for the speedy reply, just bought 10l of the touchless as I was pretty convinced by its cleaning abilities (as demonstrated in your tests), was just worried that I’d have to re-apply the coat after every wash..

[@jamieniche]

I'm looking for a product like touch on. What would you consider the best for applying through a snow lance? Thanks

[@ForensicDetailing]

They all work m8. I think touch on is pretty cheap. You could try polar seal or wax is dead ceramic foam.

[@jamieniche]

@@ForensicDetailing thanks mate, really appreciate it.

[@matthewmanners8248]

Used touch on since it was released gets better the more you use it, bucket method not a fan of with this, but perfect in a pump sprayer

[@kwl189]

Bucket method doesn’t get the results. Canon or trigger spray/pump up sprayer does the trick.

[@TheDevildamo666]

Can you use touch-on with an already ceramic coated car? Sort of as a reload?

[@ForensicDetailing]

Yes m8

[@chrism.rigsby6714]

The only bad thing I’ve heard is they are on the top end of pH which I’ve also heard isn’t necessarily good too. So how do you recommend to neutralize it so you can use it as a true touchless wash?

[@ForensicDetailing]

sorry chris. but you are falling into a trap. measuring alkalinity is not a measure of a products ability to strip protection or be like more harmfull or corrosive (at best it could be a vague finger in the wind). For example pure IPA is PH7 but it will strip protection more than any car surfactant even a PH13 one for example. the industry tries to sell you a PH neutral "mild" approach to cleaning. Things that make product strip LSP are caustic materials like sodium hydroxide, potassium hydrocide, phosphoric acid etc etc... Funny enough there are tons of mild ph neutral foams that use sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide to this day is use in some old fashioned paint strippers.

[@chrism.rigsby6714]

@@ForensicDetailing I don’t think so, no but I’m not disagreeing with you though at all. One of the channels I watch how measured the ph level straight out the bottle for Bilt Hammber Auto Foam that come to be pH 13 but once it came thru the foam with more water it pretty much neutralized to 7 then is what I was trying to get at my bad. So I was really if it would work well for doing touchless washes? Also not have to do a contact wash other then getting bugs off course because I would really prefer to do true touchless washes if possible on all customer vehicles

[@andyblake1849]

So stupid question maybe, you mention perhaps if I spray touch on all over , then dry with qd 1-9 as I do anyway on top of the touch on ??

[@ForensicDetailing]

No m8 if you wash with touch on you won't need qd drying aid

[@keithmelling8530]

Hi John. Ive just washed,clayed,machine polished,IPA wiped and its ready for touch on. Do i have to towel dry it after applying it as i bought a really good towel but it left holograms all over the car (VW Arteon) and i used bilt hamber QD at 1/10. Could i blow dry it. Thanks

[@ForensicDetailing]

hey there touch on is more a quick maintainence product. So after full prep you should use a sealant or wax really. Double Speed wax is very good for the money. then in a months time just spray on the touch on after washing and blast off and dry with a towel mate. sounds like soft paintwork so just be really gentle when you contact it.

[@keithmelling8530]

Thanks John.

If i want to use surfex hd in 1 litre snow canon what would be the correct ml of product to use in there to achieve about 4% PIR?

[@ForensicDetailing]

See how to calculate pir video

[@r.k862]

@@ForensicDetailing thanks but isn't surfex meant to be diluted much less than touchless? Or is it the same?

[@JP_A3]

do the 5L versions not exist anymore? cant seem to find any, theyre all out of stock

[@ForensicDetailing]

see "new touchless" video. they made a formula change. so phase in new 1L waited for old 5l to phase out and are now phasing in new 5L

Touchon is a great product and price point if you just want to buy a sachet every few washes. How does it compare price wise cost per wash (I know it's a slightly different product) to Gyeon Wet Coat? We are starting to get more Bilt Hamber products here in Aus.

[@ForensicDetailing]

I think it's abput a pound a sachet here

[@fordyford]

@@ForensicDetailing yeah you said the price of the Touchon in the vid, i meant cost per use compared to a bottle of spray on product like Wet Coat. I gues you'd use 1/4 of a bottle of Wet Coat each time you used it once every few months or so.

[@kwl189]

Gyeon wet coat is good stuff but pricey to use the way Gyeon intend you to use it and it doesn’t get the best durability either doing it their way.

[@fordyford]

@@kwl189 I got 6+ months out of it doing it their way. It was ready after the wash on the 7th month.

Can you blow dry rather than towel dry. Thanks

[@ForensicDetailing]

yes you can. but I think when you use a spray and rinse its worth buffing out the panels a bit when you dry.

Totally forgot ratios. I’m half and half. Old cars. Doesn’t have to be scientific to the max ? Also both my 5 year old Karchers Eh Or-ing or flat out leaking. Think I need a new one. Wait these die.

[@jont60]

Hi re touch on it says Bucket: Pour 30-60ml into a bucket then fill with 10 litres of water Trigger spray: Add 30ml to trigger bottle and top up to 1 litre with My question is if it's fine at 30ml to 60 ml 10l in a bucket. why can't I use that on a spray bottle as would last a lot longer. What's the difference if I made up a bucket then just put it in a spray bottle can't see a problem

[@ForensicDetailing]

Just go with in structures bro. It's a fair enough question but just trust them

[@r.k862]

If i have 1ltr Canon and i want to achieve PIR about 4%. What is the estimate ml of touchless also estimate ml for surfex and estimate ml water? I want to save money and want it to be more effective than using touchless on its own

50 50 typically

@@ForensicDetailing I don't get that. So 250ml surfex, 250ml touchless, 500ml water?

[@ImranAli-rp4kd]

I see jon can wash the car in a hour , I struggle to do it in 2 hours , it can take me nearly 3 hours if I’m doing the wash , wheels and tyres , drying and tyre and trim dressing, I don’t Know why I’m so slow , when I’m doing a contact wash then I find that once I’m washing the last side the other sides have already near enough dried so recently I been doing it in sections and rewetting the clean sides with water if it’s drying

[@zero_pc_6234]

Same here mate.

[@chlama]

Me too buddy... 3 hours is normal rate for me... I try to cut corners here and there but the car is not really clean. 3 hours is normal if you want clean car IMHO... aaand I`m not slow... :)

[@decker0373]

1 hour is mind blowing, 90 minutes minimum, just to wash the wheels, snow foam, contact wash and dry for me. Add in some QD and a glass clean and there's 2 hours gone as a bare minimum.

[@ImranAli-rp4kd]

Thank god it’s not just me , I seen videos of mobile detailers who say they do the inside and outside in a hour , I don’t know how true that is , if I’m really quick then I can maybe do inside and outside in 3 hours but even that might be pushing it , anyway thanks for the feedback as I thought It was just me , however when I’m doing it then I’m not working slow

[@JasonJohnson-yu8zf]

And me, I always guessed I was just being thorough.

[@fvresonanator]

My Touchless (older version) does not 'snow' at all. It seems quite runny. Is that normal? Or could it be my lance?

[@ForensicDetailing]

try MJJC pro V2 lance. and if that doesnt help put the 1.1 orrafice in it. you will have thick foam then mate trust me.

@@ForensicDetailing okay will do thanks for the reply 👍

​@@fvresonanator also make sure you are putting in the correct amount of product in your lance as everyone ratio will be different because of there pressure washer , snowfoma lance and tge rate water flows through your hose
