How to SUPER CLEAN Your Car! Use Power Maxed TFR - Contactless!

[@matteightytwo]

And Power Maxed is a British brand from the midlands, that alone is enough to make it a winner, but their products are really nice too

[@glosjdm]

One of my favourite prewashes. Great cleaning power and extremely good value for money

[@prf76]

Good review. Got some of this stuff myself, very impressed with it. At 10:1 it obliterated the thick black winter grime.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Exactly. I find myself only using it for the really dirty cars that have zero protection but need something that I know is guaranteed to shift the dirt.

[@bluerineimb1148]

Great info I have been using some power max products for past two years summer jacket & winter coat very good after wash sealents I tried there pH natural snow foam last year just finished the 5 Lt can I didn't rate it to be honest but now I'm going to get this tfr it's just wat I need

I've got a small selection of their stuff coming soon on the channel

[@simonwatford6013]

Great timing...I have this, but have always been unimpressed at 50 :1...was just looking to see if it was okay on alloys. Going to try it at 10:1 tomorrow!

[@cobybarrett3799]

How did the 10:1 go?

[@simonwatford6013]

[@davidgreen3350]

SUBSCRIBED & LIKED - Interesting given I am drawn to the 50/1 ratio, I searched for recommendations for this product given I am a massive fan of the Shampoo & Wax 5L product (very impressive) so glad I have watched your review and will go ahead and purchase one. Thanks

[@John-wf2yh]

My friend uses this on wagon chassis, and he uses it neat When I use this on my work van I use it 50/50 after already doing an initial wash and I’ll use it with a sponge and I get great results I’m no expert, just doing what works for me

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

I'd advise your friend not to use this neat. It can cause some damage to paintwork if used neat. 9:1 max and will still actually work superbly at that ratio 👍

[@John-wf2yh]

@@DetailingandtheBeast yeah he says he knows how strong it is, it’s used on recovery vehicles (beds and chassis) they always get smashed up cars, oil everywhere, grease and all the rest of it, their aluminium beds so can’t imagine it does much damage to them, but the chassis are steel and painted However these trucks are used day in day out and their just work horses so they just want to get them Boshed off quickly haha

Hi mate, good video and top product by the looks of it, I’ve got a white car and do over 400 miles plus a week so traffic film is a nightmare tried everything apart from this bad boy so hopefully will make the job a easier on weekends now 👍🏻👌🏻 cheers going to binge watch the channel now 😎

[@scolly1986]

Great video Dave. So would you use this instead of a citrus pre wash or what is the real difference? Maybe if car is protected use citrus but if not and you’re about to apply some protection then use the TFR?

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Exactly that, you got it! Depending on the protection levels you may well just use a foam. Next step up would be the Citrus, and then the TFR. I see it like this, if you are a valeter, and the car is new to you, use the TFR. Once the car is a regular and you know its past in terms of maintenance then you would choose foam or Citrus. 👍

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

@@DetailingandtheBeast Im going the same way Dave. Most foams seem more about the look

[@M.E63]

Is this caustic and suitable for chrome ?

[@ChinskeeHD]

Could you mix some of this into the snow foam like you can with citrus? Also when you mix this up into your sprayer is it okay to make a bulk amount and leave it?

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

You could, but I just wouldnt, not really needed. But if you did just be aware of your PIRs, you'd likely need a lot in a lance to get a decent ratio on the panel. As for the pump sprayer, that's exactly what I do! Mix up 500ml with 5 litres of water and just leave it ready for next time. Just release the pressure after use and itll be golden. 👍👍

[@crawsh1]

Hi mate thinking of ordering some of this as well as the spray bottle, so if my spray bottle is 5L is that 500ml of product to the rest water? Also would it be okay to keep it in the spray bottle mixed up between washes? Cheers mate

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Yes and yes! Absolutely fine. I leave mine made up I a 5ltr spray pump for months at a time.

@@DetailingandtheBeast brilliant, probably wash my car twice a month so would last a while then, how much would you say you use on a car roughly?

I bought this last month after watching yours and a few other channels videos on it I found the same It's ok but don't do much at all unless you use it at very high concentration 10:1 upwards I don't think I would buy it again I preferred surfex hd or valet pro citrus pre wash I

[@petersmith7126]

So a 10 - 1 dilution is that 10 parts water to 1 part TFR or 10 parts TFR to 1 part water

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

10 parts water. 1 part TFR.

[@jezlucas3878]

I've not noticed much in way of cleaning using snowfoam, used leading brands too.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

This is strong stuff, but it's obviously not a foam. If you want a foam that cleans then I like the jennychem tfr foam, or adding citrus directly to any snowfoam for more bite. But yes, I'm with you. Most foams even from big players, are poor performers. Last year, I tried a long awaited foam and it was garbage at removing ANY of the traffic film (despite the bottle claiming it would). Kinda put me off the brand, and distrust in labels in general.

[@jezlucas3878]

@@DetailingandtheBeast Iam re thinking how I do things now I mostly only wash 2 vans , one older camper that goes daily to countryside roads And my work van Both have protection But been looking for something more effective as sometimes I just do a non contact blast off especially in these mucky conditions.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

@jez lucas I'd probably go first with citrus and foam mix. 10% foam, 5% citrus, 85% water. And if that doesn't do what you're after then go for a TFR. They're strong and do need some level of thought about safety towards rubbers etc if used longer term. But I use the powermaxed stuff over winters and it's been awesome for that exact kind of "can't be arsed this week" washes.

[@jezlucas3878]

@@DetailingandtheBeast many thanks again

[@Ian-ky6hm]

Just ordered this from Amazon, thanks Dave. Maybe a strange question but how much would you make up in the 5 litre sprayer at 10:1 at any one time? Thanks.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Nah its a good question. I make about 2.5 litres in a go but that's for the 4x4. Could probably be a bit less for one car. But it will last too if you want to store it, it's fine.

[@johnweir8936]

Great video 👍🏻 would you say this is better than the jennychem snow storm tfr?

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Now theres a question! 👌 I'd say that Powermaxxed is probably stronger.... just. But.. the JC TFR is a foam type application so itll "stick" in places like wheel arches and undersides better than the PM TFR which is more "fluid", and as such might offer a longer application and clean in those areas.

[@johnweir8936]

@@DetailingandtheBeast thanks 👍🏻

[@royalstevep68]

Is it caustic or non caustic tfr. I'm not a fan of tfr as especially the caustic version is akin to putting drain cleaner on your car and strips everything including wax etc and if not used correctly or washed off thoroughly will destroy the clearcoat and paint over time. I'm assuming its non caustic as it states it doesnt strip wax. However I still wouldnt use tfr. Dont get why people dont just use snowfoam and a decent shampoo like britemax shampoo, using pure water rinse.

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

It is caustic. It contains sodium hydroxide at less than 1% in its concentrated format. But the percentage when diluted makes it wax and LSP safe (so Power Maxed say). As to if you should or shouldn't use it, is 100% a personal preference, but for me this cleans better than any snow foam I have EVER used.

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

Good review Dave :)

[@crazycressy7986]

What's your view on turtle wax black wax kits or can you recommend a good wax for black paintwork as you know I have 3 black vehicles lol

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Colour isnt important. Anyone who tells you it is, is simply marketing something. Yeah you have black paint, but that it coated with clear, it's the clear that wax sits on top of. These colour changing waxes are simply gimmicks. However.... the new TW Black range does look very interesting from what I have seen, but Turtle Wax is a brand trying to "KZbin bribe" it's way back into favour, so I personally steer clear. For me, I like the ceramic waxes. So I did a video on the EZ car care one, that wax is always a hit with people, Autobrite do one called Ballad, but it's expensive (like over 100quid!), then you have JaysWax and in2detailing that have pretty much the same thing too for various prices. Aim to be spending around 20quid.

[@fastlane2914]

Hi mate, has your opinion changed since making this video in regards to having to rinse the vehicle before applying a prewash? A lot of videos these days recommended applying a prewash on a dry car as to not dilute the prewash solution. Be interesting to know after 2 years are you still using the same method?

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Exactly the same method. In my opinion, pre rinsing is essential to remove the first 70% of everything. However, having seen this debate come around myself, I concluded that after a pre-rinse that my car usually has a few minutes to "drip dry" somewhat anyway. I see the argument but in reality, it's just being pedantic for the sake of content (in my opinion of course 😉).

[@fastlane2914]

@@DetailingandtheBeast thanks for the reply, Im waiting for my daily driven car to become really dirty and I’ll have a proper go at it doing both sides differently. Then blow dry before the contact wash to see the results. I never really had the thought of doing that as you know with life you just crack on. But always good to get opinions of those that do it regularly, thanks!

I have seen that foam but not used it myself, I've seen some good reports on it though. I don't know, but I'd suspect it has their TFR in it to boost the cleaning.

Great review thanks. Quick question it didn't seem like the initial rinse made any difference at all to the end result and would have been a waste of time and water. Why bother with it. Besides looks like you have a nice gauge to see where you have properly rinsed the tfr off with the dirt. I'm always trying to simplify and speed things up like you do in your videos , why not lose that initial rinse down. Same with foaming just skip that initial rinse

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Ah now this is an optional, but I feel that an initial rinse removes anything loose, and then products actually sit on the ground in crud.
