Haha that was the first thing I noticed Jon! Spent 5 minutes deliberating whether to mention it or not, couldn't even concentrate on the video haha

[@f4rducky418]

Hey Jon, looked on their website and you can apply via your foam cannon, a lot less faf than that pump sprayer. Do a whole car with that and you’ll have arms like Arnie. Asta la vista baby 💪

[@Simon-kh2dd]

I have only just started to use snow foams, sometimes with APC underneath. These products did much more than I expected! Looking forward to the shoot out! Really enjoying the potato cams.

[@simonjames2855]

Thanks Jon, really good test, I have both of these products but have tended to favour the spritzer, but I turbo charge it with a small amount of bilt hambers surfed hd. It works really well as a pre cleaner on 100k + mile vans that have rarely if ever been cleaned, especially on the roofs which tend to be covered in algae and fallout. Looking forward to seeing the full text especially the results of the bare metal as I only use bh autofoam on my BMW E30.

[@1669Python]

Great live "on the hoof" video Jon. Looking forward to the full comparison test.

[@markadmin4829]

great review. i find the car dryer is not much use on a car when there is little protection on the paint. Great review

[@markkerr3761]

Be very interesting to see how they compare with BH... As cost wise the Brute seems to be on par at £20 for 5l... I love BH but when I worked out the ratio for my lance/pressure washer / water supply set up, I'm having to use it at a 2:1 (water:product) to get my 4% on-the-panel... That's quite a lot even when only using a 400-500ml amount for a prewash... Be interesting to see how Brute compares when used through a lance (as I could not be ar5ed with using a pump sprayer for a pre-wash on a regular basis!)

[@BrianW1612]

Nice little comparison Jon. I've been raving about these 2 pre wash products so good to see your thoughts are similar to mines 👍 Also agree 100% with the pump foamer. I have a larger IK9 and I love it but you have to be really careful with dilutions on products that typically are high foaming. They come out like shaving foam and murder to apply if too concentrated. On a plus side, means you can dilute them hugely making them great value for money 👍

[@forensicunplugged4295]

yer its so foamy when you put it in a foamer its too dry.. But in a lance or normal sprayer its nice... It foams up nicely under contact as well which is cool for brushing out rag tops and stuff.

[@kennyg4744]

I still use two of your recommendations. I use a sprayer to cover the car in Koch Chemie GS at 5 to 1 and leave to work for 5 minutes. I then go over that with Bilt Hamber AutoFoam in a snow foam lance and leave to settle for 5 minutes. Finally, I rinse it all off with my Karcher K4. Results are always truly impressive. Got a before and after picture after a 580 mile round trip recently in the rain, snow and storms. You got an email address and I’ll ping them over.

[@forensicunplugged4295]

they will most definetly work kenny for sure.. hell yer :)

[@timshannon999]

Really interesting, many thanks.

[@r-mackphotography6424]

Both look fairly decent! Would like to know your opinion on this v’s say Bilt Hamber snow foam! Cheers chief.

[@paulhamilton6013]

For prewash we use Koch Chemie Vb @ 1:50. Snow foam Angelwax fast foam or Koch Super foam.

[@sm-eh4ix]

I've just purchased some snow foam from jennychem. This product is supposed to clean and dry the vehicle without touching it. Waiting for delivery as we speak, also I've purchased some non flick tyre shine that says it lasts upto 3 weeks. And does not come off in the rain. Is there any chance you can do a review on these 2 products?

[@OGChill]

“Quick informal potato cam video today” had me creasing 😂

[@bimmerclubsport]

If I can offer a little word of advice, just being cautious. Don't jet spray over PDC sensors. It's possible to damage them (stop them from working). I jet wash around mine and just use a detail brush to get at them.

[@ndiggadee2663]

I was blown away by autobrite direct snow foam when I bought their Lance. So bought a 25 litre drum of it. Easy doing cars now. I've had useless snow foam in the past so I understand why people think snow foam can be a waste of time.

[@coba-1255]

Random question but where did you get the extension lance for the quick release gun. Thinking about buying the gun but would prefer a lance as well if needed

[@forensicunplugged4295]

amazon search pressure gun extention wand quick release mate.

[@tonymontana897]

Wow, that's actually not too bad. Some sno foams don't remove even half what these products did. Nice one !

[@SidewaysKris]

I really like the look of these Jon, I do so many miles every week. I use Surfex HD as part of my prewash in the IK6. These actually look like they will clean better than what I’m seeing with Surfex HD, would love to know what your thoughts are in comparison from when you first tried Surfex HD 👍👍👍

[@forensicunplugged4295]

I dont really use surfex this way (dont get me wrong you can but).. BH have a dedicated road film pre wash and I just think this is what you want to use as a pre wash really buddy. Its more rinsable than surfex.

[@joshsymons7524]

[@Pedroluvslupe]

What was the dilution you did here again?

[@ianh9696]

Which IK foamer nozzle did you use? Wet, Medium or Dry? Makes a difference to how products foam.

[@forensicunplugged4295]

yer it does this was grey. I just never have time to alter them or change filters... like if I load it up and the foam is crap I just grin and bear it ..... but I think spritzer is mega foamy by nature too dry for this foamer perhaps so it was not just he foamers fault.

[@Pedroluvslupe]

What soap is this? Can I buy it in USA 🇺🇸

[@SomeMadRandomPerson]

Well that's good to know, my car is absolutely mocket! But haven't got the time to give it a right good going over due to well living in Scotland lol that's why, by the time I bring all my gear out its will be raining again, I can't wait for my whole 7 days of summer 😍☀️ anyways I'd be interested to see these carried out through a snowfoam lance, I reckon they would be better, the brilliant thing about these products is for the reason I said above, not enough time to get all ur equipment out so having this to blast over and do a contactless wash in this weather seems like a perfect solution, u could do ur car in under 30 mins maybe even once a week, yes we can all agree it won't be 100% but it will be 100 times better than it was because our weather and our roads are terrible, will u be running it through the SF Lance Jon? 😎👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jasonmennie9629]

Love spritzer, brilliant through a foam lance.

[@markkerr3761]

That interesting you say that because the other reviews I've read said to avoid foam lance and use a pump sprayer... ... Good to see a different opinion - what dilution ratio do you use in the foam lance?

[@jasonmennie9629]

@@markkerr3761 well like any pre wash/ snowfoam, you get better dilution ratios in a pump sprayer and basically save money because your using less product. I use it both ways, but it does work very well in a lance, not to thick, not to thin, runs off the car nicely and cleans really well. As regards dilution, i have tried a couple of ratios 10-1, 20-1 both work really well, so i would do either 450ml water to 50ml spritzer or 25ml product to 475ml water, all depends on the level of dirt on the car and if it's protected or not, but still use very little product really, but don't forget using it through a lance will dilute the product further. Through a pump sprayer you would use less, so in a 2 litre sprayer that i have, i use it round 25-1 up to 50-1 still works well even up to 75-1, on the bottle it says lsp safe from 100-1 upwards but don't listen to that, joe (autoglanz boss man) told me it's lsp safe even neat (quality lsp) and told me to play around with the ratios, so obviously yes you get value for money in a pump sprayer, but not as fun as foaming 😀, and also foam helps it not dry as quick aswell and better for working the crevices with a brush also, so foaming does have it's advantages at the expense of using more product. Give it a try through as lance you will be pleasantly suprised, again joe told me in testing that because it did so well through a lance, they decided to add instructions to be used through one. Hope this helps.

[@piggietruckerjones7545]

What pressure washer do you have? It looks like it puts out a lot of water.

[@forensicunplugged4295]

[@YouOnlyGetToDoItOnce]

Hi Jon, do you think these snow foam tests are true reflections on the cleaning power of the snow foams, based on their recommended dilutions? Would you consider a re test based on them recommendations? I consider you one of the most trustworthy KZbinrs and base the majority of my purchases off your videos! Keep it up, brilliant content :)

[@forensicunplugged4295]

do you mean the tests in this video or my up and coming "best snow foam" video test thing? both are true reflections of something because we are sort of using the products to clean things.. so like they have to be a reflection of something right ? I wanted the diluations to be the same for this test so it might allow me to determine which one cleaned better... 1:25 is like 4% pir for sprizter. I think you can use it a lot lower than this. Brute you can use upto 1:10. This might suggest that spritzer is more concentrated or powerfull as it has a lower max ratio. who knows. but literally all these premlinary things are, are a chance for me to eyeball them, I mean you can call it a test perhaps but its like a half asses attempt to eyeball them in use (that never sounds great for the title though :) ) . So when I start the formal testing I have some real world usage to also base my opinion on.

[@YouOnlyGetToDoItOnce]

@@forensicunplugged4295 I agree. I was referring to your big test that you're building up to! I suppose really you could look at it as a "pound4pound" champion! Just picked up some autofoam after finishing avalanche, find auto finesse quite expensive. Thanks for the reply. 👍

[@forensicunplugged4295]

@@YouOnlyGetToDoItOnce yer so that big test, or any of those comparisons can be a bit to "testy" if you like and "testy" isnt always good. products that have done bad in "testys" Ive gone on to love like Capro Elixir for example.. So yer by doing all this it helps the tests be a bit better.. you literally cannot beat using these products as many times.... even now in winter, that can be a different ball game to doing the "testy" in summer and I might miss something... so yer.. dunno mate we try and do a good job.
