Great job Sandro, as usual. The info is on such a level I have nothing extra to ask, even from craziest thoughts or tries. Thanks indeed man!

Great review as usual Sandro, can’t go too wrong with CarPro. I think people expect too much from a snow foam, as if after a rinse off the car will look like it’s had a 2 bucket wash. I find Snow+ and Reset are still my go to foam and wash products.

Thanks Mike, and great to hear mate!

[@CornettoGospel]

Nice video again Sandro. For reference, 500ml of Lift here in the UK is £7.68 inc VAT. I guess 1L will be about £14 which is similar to other 1L snowfoams, so it seems to be well priced (without taking dilution/concentration into account)

[@Androm3da]

Thanks for the video, Sandro! Been anticipating this review. I finally managed to pick up Lift locally, and I've definitely liked it! I used it a few weeks ago on my car, foaming and letting it dwell for several minutes. It ate all of the filth off, from the Canadian winter - all the salt build-up and sand was pulled off the car and was trapped in the foam on the driveway. Only had to do a light hand wash afterwards with Reset! That said, the car is coated with CQuartz UK and CQuartz TiO2. Will definitely purchase more in the future.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate, and thanks for sharing your experience with it!

[@senthilkumar-mc2ui]

Informative & useful content as always.

[@visi5649]

This 1:10, 1:15 dilution ratio is just pot luck. It may foam loads but is it cleaning fully! I’m sure it does loosen dirt somewhat but what PIR does the product need to be fully effective!? - how much of the dirt and grime being removed is from the pressure from the pressure washer? Bilt Hamber AutoFoam needs a very low 4% PIR to be fully effective but that still equates to around 480ml of product in a 1 litre foam canon due to flow rates! V-Project UK’ has an excellent video on PIR! Well worth a watch ... I learnt so much from it

[@Tomaskii]

💪thanks! Like so much carpro Perl so 1000ml of Lift will arrive in two days

[@hbi1994]

Awesome review! Recently had my vehicle ceramic coated and have considered using Lift diluted and paired with Mega Foam for lubrication/clinging for touchless washes as to remove breaking down traffic film while the high suds remove those contaminants from the vehicle. Figured since it'll be topped with Eagle One's Wipe and Shine, the quick detailer will act as a sacrificial layer to the coating in case Lift does manage to break it down the next time it's washed. As for contact washes, will use that combo for presoak and Reset + Mega Foam for the contact wash to minimize chances of swirling. In theory, it makes sense to me; hopefully it works as well as I think it should.

[@subarubrat]

Great video, Sandro👍

[@ExclusiveTint-CarDetailing]

Nice information Sandro thanks.

[@AntEloftheHouseofEl]

Thanks for the video Sandro. Not sure this will make me switch any time soon. For pure cleaning ability I have yet to find ANY snow foams better than Bilt Hamber Auto Foam and Autobrite Direct Magifoam. With regards to a decontamination wash, Garage Therapy Decon is my favorite.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and thanks for sharing

[@Admin-ie9hp]

You can use this every week as well as combined it with reset. It's safe on ceramic coating. I don't put wax on so I don't have to worry about it breaking it down. If you use turtle Wax seal and shine it's perfectly safe and does not break it down. Good video man 👍

[@davidbram]

I've been foaming my car with 60ml Lift + 60ml Reset + 800ml water. I follow up with a hand wash using Reset. The results are rather good.

[@Tigersmundo]

*You can never go wrong with any product from Carpro, but Bilt Hamber Touch-less Snow Foam prewash is slightly more effective IMHO.*

[@YoMoe83]

Flawless as allways :)

[@Brian_N]

Been waiting for this one! Thanks for the review. Surprised you didn’t try it on your coated cars and include your thoughts on that. I dunno if it’s foolish but I was hoping that Lift could be a pre soak foam that made the wash step even safer and more effective for coated cars. I was looking at Lift and or one of Bilt Hambers two snow foams for this purpose. My suspicion is their new “sugar” based formula was designed for use with ceramic based protection. Since it seems to be compatible with their ceramic booster packet.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

You can absolutely use it for coated cars, I did test it on quite a few, and I saw no evidence that it was harming the coatings in anyway. It’s just more of a matter of using it as needed rather than always using it, at least for me.

[@dimmacommunication]

[@charlesbardforth6738]

Great video Sandro. Question, do you think lift, or even NV snow + would work as a touchless wash for lightly dirty vehicles? Cars that are garaged and really only get a nice sunny day drive etc. Think Sydney weather

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, and yes they can, but I would still tend to do a hand wash in between touchless washes and just be sure to avoid water spots with a good drying process and maybe a quick detailer to help the whole process out.

If you guys talking about BH Auto Foam then its different product than Lift. BHAF its strictly foam to clean car without removing any wax or sealant . Lift however its more decontamination foam which remove wax and at list make harm on your sealant if not remove it as well . Compare this two its not good idea at all .

[@chavezcustomdetailing9540]

@@gorgiomarconi well that’s typical if you have a wax or sealant that has been deteriorating because of real world abuse or cause of neglect. Any non ph balanced soap will strip any old waxes and sealants but what I’m interested in knowing between both of these products is how well it can clean a dirty hammerd car without protection. I’m looking for something that could strip grime away since I’m trying to find something that will speed up my process and cause less damage to the clear coat. That way my business is more profitable and I get more jobs done in a timely manner my good friend.

[@chavezcustomdetailing9540]

@@GregoryVeizades that’s cool and all but understand this I live in the states and getting BH auto foam here cost me more because of how far it takes to get here.

LIFT seems more suited to the European (UK) market where stronger prewash snow foams are more common as they throw salt onto their roads in winter.

[@matsudakodo]

I think you want acids for salt

[@DonDomel]

All those citrus and none citrus prewashes are very popular in Europe - but better results are not as foam but in hand pressure sprayer as a liquid solution.

Another cracking video Sandro. Awesome as always. I’ve been adding 100ml Lift to my foam fun as well for increased washing ability. I find it works pretty well.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate and thanks for sharing that!

[@functionaldoc5054]

Sandro so is the scent similar to Reset? What about putting some Reset with Lift when foaming have you tried that ? So would it be a good monthly wash for ceramic coated car? Have you tried any of the Labocosmetica products such as Primus and Purifica they are made in Italy?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Maybe a similar scent but still different. Yes I did try quite a few mixes in the foam lance and it works fine with Reset mixed in. I would use it as frequently as I needed on a ceramic coated car, it just that if you have a top coat sealant it make break that down, which is why I’d recommend using it just before you reapply something like Reload. Yes I have tried quite a few of the Labocosmetica range including Primus and Purifica and my first impressions were quite good!

[@stephenwhite5444]

Great video bro, I'm thinking of using Lift. But have you ever used a contactless wash like Wash Chems Pro-50? It has great reviews, basically just 'melts' dirt and traffic film right off the car. Says it's safe for ceramic coating and you can greatly dilute it to use on interior. I'd like to have a contactless wash....its designed for large commercial vehicles like 18 wheelers.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks but no I’ve not use it, it would be great if it’s really safe and effective without the need to hand wash but it’s a big call and promise for any product to be that effective yet safe, but if it is thats fantastic and definitely worth a try!

What's the difference between the LIFT vs the TRIX? Great video!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Lift is a strong alkaline based decontamination pre-soak foam used at the start of a more intensive car wash and decontamination process to start breaking down and removing tough but general dirt and grime, while Tr.ix is a stray on chemical solution used to more specifically tackle more stubborn iron and tar particles, dissolve and remove them. Tr.ix is also a very effective wheel cleaner that can tackle extremely bad and neglected wheels, though it should only be used when necessary as it is a more aggressive chemical than most.

[@nasdoc1]

Great video and In depth explanation. Especially the ph test, however I saw another video of someone who tested the ph level once it was on the panel and it came up ph neutral. So is the product actually alkaline on the panel and is it really doing anything more than what reset does?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, and chemicals will react with whatever they come in contact with, so alkaline’s can be neutralised with acids and vice versa, but just because a chemical neutralises it doesn’t mean it hasn’t had an effect or done it’s job. A lot of information we get about certain chemicals is very misleading, so I don’t try to base my conclusions on that, I try to stick to what I’m best at which is evaluating results rather than chemistry.

I tried using Lift + Reset in a bucket and I think it did a very good job.

I wonder what's the most effective way to decontamination a cars exterior, as much as possible, using the bucket method (shampoo +?).

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

There’s always a balance that needs to be met as going too aggressive all the time can lead to paint and trim deterioration over time, so usually the least aggressive method that works is the best corse of action and sometimes that just a simple car was soap but other times it can be more aggressive acid or alkaline based cleaners used in conjunction.
