Mobile Detailing Tips & Advice! & Special Guest Jason Miller from Koch Chemie!

[@jeepinspence]

Nice work Phil! Polished video and great info. I may incorporate that product to streamilne my process. I was soild when I saw the tar just spray off. thx

[@robhill8197]

The tech may be there, but IMO they are really pushing the envelope on pricing for the NMS. Coming in at $105 for 5L works out to about $1.24/wash if you use 2oz per wash AND buy it 5L at a time. Considering GSF already sits at the upper end of the market @ $85 for 5L works out to $1.00/wash. I can see the thought process of skipping the toppers, but you can still get under that $1.24/wash WITH a topper and good quality Shampoos/Snow Foams. On the contrary, that Af is going to go nuts IMO. They're going to give us an Alkaline pre-wash, which stays in the pH range of most all coatings at $52/5L or $0.30/oz. Considering how well that stuff foams at 1oz, 1oz/wash is easily doable. So I can pre-wash my vehicle for $0.30, then come back with a pH neutral soap in the $0.20/oz (Adams) - $0.45/oz (Griots), top it in the $0.30/oz (Dreammaker) - (Wet Coat) $0.70/oz range and get everything for the around the same price per wash of ONLY using NMS. Looks like a great product and I'm sure the paid-tubers are about to go nuts on trying to sell us the NMS, but man that price is stiff. Great video.

[@stevefulton5884]

That was very informative. I have a car with a 5 year coating on it at the 1 year mark. I think I need to do an alkaline prewash and some descaling on the lower doors to unplug some of the pores. I appreciate you, Phil.

Loved the video guys thanks Philip / Jason Miller awesome products I loved the tire/ water spot remover / the soaps in the process of owning a new power electric power washer also mtm foam Cannon so that soap should be nice 👍 to use thanks again have a great day guys hello Mrs Miranda

[@OhDannyBoy2k]

I know it was discussed a little bit in the video about various factors affecting foam cannons, but, if you were going to use Active Foam in a foam cannon, what kind of ratios should you be looking at? Something like 1 fl oz in 32 fl oz container?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Yeah give that a try. I usually do about that same ratio myself. Adjust from there if it’s too much or too little foam. 😎👍🏼

[@bjerkeli]

I love the Teerwäsche A (Tea). I use it a lot in the winter here in Norway. Fantastic product! Spray on, wait a bit, and apply greenstar from foamcanon over it

[@jeromeboily]

When will we see a comparison of prewash in the IK . Compare active foam and SUPER foam. I don’t know which one to grab as a prewash for customer cars that are not protected. I really like the idea of prewash with soaps instead of a degreasser, i think it is wayyyyyy safer on the paint

[@MirandaDetailing]

Soon! I’m working on it! 😎👍🏼

[@MikeBee77]

This would be a great comparison video. I am thinking to buy the KC Active Foam and if I ever need it to be stronger, just add a little bit of the Green Star to increase its PH power. I hope it works that way.

[@jeffreyrobert9460]

Absolutely love Koch Chemie products. GsF and Green Star in my MTM foam cannon is my go to.

I have the smaller Ik foamer Pro 2 (64oz version) and I hate it. I never uses it because I have like 3-5 second max of pressure before having to pump it back again. was pretty impressive to see the bigger one going this long! :O

Phil, ja das ist wunderbar! Koch chemie have been in EU for a long time and have kept low key. I stumbled upon them just because I wanted to branch out from bilt Hamber. So hence Green star ! One amazing apc and then their FSE detailer. It’s an amazing water spot remover! Just remember it’s acidic and shouldn’t be used as a conventional detailer. Enjoy!!

Very cool video, Phil. I've seen other detailers use Koch Chemie products in their videos, too. Good products without a question, as are most things that are German made. While Koch Chemie's prices don't work presently fit my budget, I will keep them in mind for the future. Thanks for posting!

[@truejey7475]

hey Phill what color tip you have on that ik.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Ummm…actually I don’t remember. Whatever it came with, I never changed it.

[@nicksdragon6929]

I noticed that the sales rep pronounced Koch as the same as the word Coke and you pronounce it like most of us. When he introduced the owner of the company he pronounces his last name as Coke so I'm going to start calling this coke Kimmy. By the way could you find out whether or not they're going to finally make the MP in a gallon so that as detailers we can get it at the most cost-effective bases versus paying the 12 to $16 per little bottle. Thanks buddy

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yup. That’s the correct way to say it. I keep reverting back to the way every else says it. Same with Gyeon. It’s supposed to be pronounced with a hard “G” like “gone”. But we also say Gee-On. Funny how pronunciations work.

[@derek723]

@@MirandaDetailing it goes to show how hard it is to get naming right for an international brand that spreads across multiple cultures. "Coke chemie" or "Geeyawn" might roll of the tongue easy in foreign cultures, but in the US it feels awkward as heck

[@MirandaDetailing]

Exactly! 😁🤣😎👍🏼

Where the heck are you getting MP for $12 lol

It seems the Germans pronounce it "coke-shemmy"

This was great information Phil.Thanks also to Jason for doing this video. I use the GSF and NMS shampoos as well as GS etc etc. Their products are top notch. One of my favorites is Leather Star. Customers love it. Looking forward to using some other KC products. I need more room! 😀

[@CTTH100]

If mixed at 100:1 ratio is KC Active Foam's pH safe for weekly maintenance washes on a ceramic coated car with minimal grime?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yeah it will be fine. But I would just use their Gentle snow foam instead, no need to use a stronger soap if it’s not that dirty.

[@CTTH100]

@MirandaDetailing Thanks! I've been using Gyeon Foam, which does well but a bit pricey. Just looking for a little bit more touchless than a neutral foam that may not be as effective. I'll give GSF a shot.

[@MirandaDetailing]

@CTTH100 Oh I see. Are you simply foaming and rinsing and not contact washing?

[@CTTH100]

@MirandaDetailing I "try" to alternate weeks with contact washing. I wash about weekly, so it's just road grime. Generally, I apply Gyeon Foam to dry car, then rinse, then foam MTM Foamtastic and rinse (or contact wash).

[@shannonkeller7940]

Mr Phil, any chance of seeing a video of you using their new coating??

[@MirandaDetailing]

Perhaps in the future!

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Phil I highly recommend trying the Marolex sprayers. I can't say anything about filling them with a compressor but if you ever use an IK by hand pumping, The Marolex is leaps and bounds an improvement. They're legit

[@kevincampbell8298]

He has some marolrx sprayers.. Phil has used them in videos in the past. One or them can’t remember.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! Yeah do have them also. 😎👍🏼

[@flowinthrou]

What's more, the IK 10L is so expensive, that you could even use 3 other regular sprayers in a row without pumping.

[@AntLive29]

This was an informative video. I still like wet look tires tho! Shine baby shine haha

[@waynefromnewfoundland8740]

Good video. I switched to Gsf last summer. Great for maintenance washes. I just had a bottle of Motorplast delivered a little while ago. Looking for forward to doing my spring maintenance and using that product. Nice to learn about different products and how to get the most from them. Another great video.👍🏻 P.S. I know you also like GTECHNIQ products, so I also bought a bottle of C4 trim restorer. Your confidence in their products helped in my decision.

Great !!!!! Would love some help. TFR. Not left dwell on plastics. Just to hit body and washed off I’m using TFR instead snow foam soiled older cars pre a paint correction and polish. Is there anything wrong with going in heavy on TFR in snow cannon??? Cheers 😅

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. I don’t use dedicated TFR products but basically they just high ph APC’s. You can use those in a foam cannon or IK foamer like we do. We only use them on initial details that need deep cleaning before protection is applied or polishing and ceramic coatings.

[@Mdetailing]

We love Koch full.line in Europe, witch we have the privilege to have even more products.from KC.

[@Mdetailing]

I can add very important on GSF easy to rinse no residue to fight!! We have here also AS ( auto shampoo) witch i like

I cannot remember Phil..Af can be used also with bucket and wash mitt for contact wash correct? ....so much KC products here hahahah..... Usually in Europe we like Strong runny ..... not so foamy... soaps..to fight traffic film salt e.t.c..and that is why European manufacturors are in this way with their soaps.

[@zekesgarage3917]

I've seen some mobile details presoak with really thick foam since they wash the wheels during the dwell time. Do you think that is a good way to approach this scenario of a really dirty vehicle, presoak, clean wheels, rinse, then contact wash?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Oh yeah totally! Each Detailer will develop their own way or methods. True we start by copying what others do but then later adapt and evolve to suite your specific style and way of doing things. 😎👍🏼

[@Ara_Milan]

BEst video of 2022 : like the tip for Koch chemie FSE

[@alexbryan7641]

Koch chemie products are exceptional! I’ve been replacing my lineup slowly lol

[@flowinthrou]

I wash in the sun, too. Is there anything we can do to prevent drying of foam? I've thought of spraying water with a hand pump sprayer.

[@MirandaDetailing]

I’ve noticed with hood shampoos if the foam dryers it’s ok, it doesn’t cause any issues for me, but if you have hard water any drying of the foam or water on the paint isn’t good. You may have to get a DI water system

[@RaldasDetails]

Awesome video great info!

[@CaliforniaCasey]

🏆

[@JJS432]

PH level won’t matter once the product is diluted into a 5gal bucket. Even at 10L to 50ml, the PH drops drastically.

[@MirandaDetailing]

That’s true, that’s why we never foam up the bucket as our wash bucket. We foam it on, still it dilutes it but not as much.

[@barrybij8079]

great information...glad you mentioned the coating..Two years is fine... after that long marring will occur anyway and to make the paint look nice again you have to get out the polisher... I don't understand 7-10 year coatings....Also, even on my coated car I I have been apc rinsing... the more grit you can get off before hand washing has to be better...

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! Yeah I agree. I like 2-4 coatings for my customers.

[@ddautodetailing]

Awesome video! I can't wait to try more KC stuff!

[@sergiuangelo]

can you use Nano magic shampoo on a coated car ? does it interfere with the water behaviour of the coating ?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Yes that’s what it was formulated for. It adds a layer of Ceramic protection. It’s a maintenance shampoo. It add more beading if that’s what you want. Any maintenance shampoo or ceramic spray is going to add to the hydrophobics of the coating not interfere with them.

[@Kochegarov]

Thanks for very informing video! Could you tell me please: I have Q2 Mohs coating on my car, and it is written that it is resistant to ph levels from 2 up to 11. Does it mean that I should not use Sfn Superfoam on this coating, because it has ph 12? Or I can use it for grimy areas as prerince, for example, lower parts of doors and fenders?

[@MirandaDetailing]

You’re welcome. You can use the high oh soap sparingly if you notice it needs more cleaning power. But I wouldn’t use it on a regular basis.

[@yeshuascutter3170]

This I think could be why bilt hamber suggest the panel impact ratio system. Precisely because water flow rate, pressure washer, snow foam cannon etc are all different. And, you only need to do it once! Specky Mcsporran explains it really well... Nice vid as usual Miranda!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man. Yeah I watched a few of those videos to understand the PIR. I just simplify it and just do my usual dilutions and works out easier and I use less product. I worked out the our first my system and it came to 1:1. Not really efficient for us. But I know it’s works for others. 😎👍🏼

[@yeshuascutter3170]

Couldn't agree more on the 1:1, not exactly good value for you guys in the US! Cost per wash is very important to us all, doesn't matter how good a product may be, if it's pricey it don't get used. Especially when Koch and others are blooming EXCELLENT products. Their cutting compounds are amazing!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Exactly! KCX for the win

[@KDeatherage77]

Another great video, Phil. Very informative and great products from KC. I have them as well. Going to add the active foam wash to my arsenal. Only have one question, does the FSE have a water beading ingredient in it or is it just a topper to help remove water spots?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks! Great question. It doesn’t have protection in it. And it’s not to be used all the time on waxes, sealants, and even coatings because it is a low ph and can stay to break down protection. It should be used sparingly. 😎👍🏼

[@KDeatherage77]

@@MirandaDetailing Phil, you think it would be ok to use say, P&S Bead Maker after you have used the FSE? Or some other topper? Like Meguiar's ceramic Detailer or the Ceramic Wax spray.

Oh yeah you could do that. For coatings use the intended topper from that coating company also.

Would like to know what you think if we were to compare Koch Chemie Active Foam and Gtechniq W4 Citrus Foam soaps?

How often can FSE be used on a ceramic coated car?

[@MirandaDetailing]

It’s not that strong, but I would only reserve it if/when you have water spot issues. Otherwise I would stick with regular detailers or ceramic toppers.

[@matthewderidder286]

No reason to neutralize the fse if it's acidic?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Good question. I’ll have to ask KCX. Since it’s also a detailer type product I would assume the chemistry allow for it to evaporate and neutralize. But I’ll ask. 😎👍🏼

[@AVSVALETINGDETAILING]

Would you use Koch Aw or af as a shampoo as a contact wash, snow foam application.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. You can use either one actually to wash with. I sometimes pre wash with our typical APC rinse and then use either super foam or active foam, foam it down and contact wash it. If the vehicle has good protection skip the APC rinse and just use active to foam and contact wash.

@@MirandaDetailing active foam can be used as a shampoo too as well as a prewash stage. ?

[@emanueleberbiglia7012]

What dilution to use for AF with the IK foam pro 12 to get good cleaning power and a wet foam to get it into the dirt ?

[@MirandaDetailing]

I usually do 1oz to a gallon for thicker foam and .5oz to gal for thinner foam.

[@emanueleberbiglia7012]

so is AF 1:150 still effective as a prewash?

[@MirandaDetailing]

It all depends on the filth of the vehicle. It will still clean well, but of course some dirt, mud, traffic film may still remain. I never go that low of a dilution anyway. I only do 1:10 which usually is 2-3 oz per 32oz bottle. That foams up well and cleans well

[@emanueleberbiglia7012]

diluted 1:10, in ik foam 12, it makes a heavier and drier foam that falls quickly (it doesn't stick for 5 minutes).. is it still able to soften the dirt in that short time?

[@MirandaDetailing]

You can dilute more if needed. I never let it sit for that long. Usually 2-3 min or less.

[@MirandaDetailing]

@@ArthurMSoto Hi. That’s a strong soap. I don’t use soaps to strip anything. I use strong soaps to add to my cleaning if needed but that’s it. If you want to make sure the paint is stripped of any previous protection I wouldn’t rely on the soap. I would just give the paint a quick polish with a medium pad and polish. That can actually go pretty fast and you get better results. Or you could just use a strong panel wipe if you don’t want to polish.

Phil when would you usually use FSC what type of application is it after you wash car is it in place of an sio to is it strictly as a detailer and if I heard him correctly he said it prevents water spots is all that correct and if so please let me know how and when you actually apply it.

[@MirandaDetailing]

So its basically a quick detailer that has a ph of around 2ish. So the formula helps dissolve fresh water spots. It doesn't prevent water spots from future water on the paint, it prevents the water spots from forming immediately after a wash.
