Dont forget to subscribe to the channel if you like seeing these sorts of product comparisons.. kzbin.info

[@alexhughes7788]

You need a wheel cleaner and a car shampoo comparison next 👍👍👍🤞

[@grenphelps7455]

Hi John, I've used quite a lot of snow foams over the yrs, but recently I have started to use Koch Chemie gsf (Gentle snow foam) it's a good product for me as I only detail motorcycles...try it out, give us some feedback, only problem is, it only comes in the 1 litre format.... 🤦‍♂️

[@redlineracing4947]

John your channel is absolutely ACE! Never change your videos are more than fantastic

[@ashleyatkins7939]

Another great video Jon. Ultimately told me what i already thought. Bilt Hamber is the muts nuts. They dont do silly, sexy marketing. They just make products that work and sell them at a reasonable price. They really know what they are doing chemically rather than clever marketing. Its refreshing

[@SteveE293]

Ashley Atkins agreed, as my products run out they’re being replaced by bilt hamber

[@euanclapperton142]

Agree entirely

[@acward2007]

Glad I’ve been buying the right stuff all along.

[@ramonangeldelaguilaruiz4029]

It´s bilt hamber foam compatible with treated cars?

[@poddyea2k9]

You’re absolutely spot on. But, the thing is, Marketing is everything. Imagine how much they would sell if their marketing was spot on? You can’t deny that Auto Finesse don’t market their brand well. The products look amazing, albeit most of them are sub-par. There’s a quote I read one time - ‘marketing is everything and everything is marketing’.

[@tombest1075]

These videos are exactly why I'm subscribed to this channel. I was already an avid user of BH AutoFoam having only once bought an alternative when it was sold out. Great to see I needn't look elsewhere.

[@tommyk8956]

I made an extended research prior to buying for enthusiast purposes, a snow foams product, partly based on your recommendation in the past (Bilt Hamber), now you made a test that, just confirmed that I did my research well as I have the top 3 snow foams. Thank you for your time and effort for another informative vid by helping us choose the best and most cost effective products available out there!!!!

[@mst2212]

The knowledge and passion you put into your videos is unparallel. You deserve an award for the amount of hours you put in. Top vid mate.👍

[@ashl3yow3n]

Truely the best channel, I worked as a valeter for a short while but am enthusiastic about valeting/detailing and your channel truely answers my questions.

[@djjimmer]

Fantastic video Jon. Very comprehensive tests and great reviews. This is why I love your channel... Keep up the great work 🙂

[@boothmeister6024]

Wow! I've always heard that the Bilt Hamber was good but it seriously is. It'll definitely be my next snowfoam. Once again John, fantastic video and a great service to us detailers.

[@aaoaaa]

Amazing comparison! Well done I really love all the methods you used to come with confirmed true results. I am using the Magifoam for the last 1.5 years after doing an extensive research and I am not surprised by the results that you reached! It really WORKS!

[@mqdias1]

What a great great test!!! Congrats for the work and thank you soo much for the contribution!

[@fretho8410]

Would never have considered the corrosive aspect of snow foam, had it not been for this video. Thank you so much John for all your thorough and unbiased videos, you're the best.

[@joshuamwatsama3366]

Possibly the most thorough product review I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@marufmiah1992]

Always my go to KZbin Chanel if I'm stuck on buying a product. Your chanel name is exactly what you are, a bloody forensic in this field!

[@swift2117]

Love your attention to detail ! Thank you for sharing your tests and results.

[@NaturallyRapid]

Since i bought my karcher foam lance iv been waiting for this video, thank you John for the great content again!👍

[@saxovtr1234]

Fantastic review again John loving these group tests please keep them coming

[@cracer1231]

So glad I took heed of your recommendation from previous videos and got myself the bilt hamber, such a good product and very reasonably priced, top video too keep up the good work

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Fantastic video Jon, SOOOO much in-depth information. Im also very pleased that I have a gallon of it sitting on my shelf. The other snow foam that I have recently been introduced to is Car Chem. After a recent road trip to the West County the front of my X3 was splattered with bugs and a fair share of bird droppings. Car Chem Pre Soak Snow Foam did a great job of removing most of it. The other thing I like about both BH & Car Chem is I don't have to dig my drive out of foam afterwards. In the review I recently did on my channel of a Car Chem maintenance wash, I show just how little foam is left on my drive.

[@gman3190]

John i got to say, AWESOME video!!! I am trying to start my own detailing business, and have been wondering which snow foam to buy in bulk (with the BH Auto Foam being my first choice), but now you have basically made that decision for me. Thank you for this video again, and keep up the good work.

[@nickvanaerde5365]

Great video with a rather unexpected winner in the end! I’m convinced on the cleaning power of the BH. The simulated test was a real eye opener for me! I’ve tried Avalanche and Gyeon foam before and strangely I liked the Avalanche better. I felt like it did a better job on cleaning. Keep up the great top notch work John!!

[@longden57]

Great video as always mate, very much appreciate all the hard work you put into them! They come in so bloody handy at times. This video confirmed my own findings from personal experience of using both BH Auto foam and AG Polar Blast. The Polar Blast really seemed to do nothing for me in terms of removing traffic film, despite having fantastically thick and clingy foam - that lasts for days on the driveway! After trying the BH Auto Foam I've never looked back, I was truly surprised at just how well this snowfoam breaks down anything and everything that clings to the clear coat. Cheers, Jason

[@Edumacation95]

dude you are doing something that no one else on youtube is doing, honestly really well done !

[@ripsady]

John you rock! The way you review every product is glorious. Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@Danialdaneshmand]

This video was fantastic! Awesome job John.

[@JMJ3rd]

Again, thanks for this video! The Bilt-Hamber distributor here in the US has sent out an email to those of us that got in touch with them about the AutoFoam. There were enough of us to warrant them bringing it across the pond! I ordered mine, today! I can't wait to get it!

[@ForensicDetailing]

who is that distributor josey?

[@j15mrk]

Another top rate review, best man in the game, clear concise and selling nobody no crazy products. Hats off 🎩

[@mayurraja8479]

This is a battle I have been having for a while now - which product has the best cleaning power! Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this video. Really is brilliant! Placing my order for BH Foam now. Thanks again and sub'ed!

[@klasseact6663]

I bought both Magifoam and Bilt-Hamber autowash per your previous reviews and have been VERY happy with them both John, thank you 🇺🇸👍

[@RobWhittlestone]

Excellent thorough video - a lot of work went into this! I really appreciate your dedication and throughness, John. Just brilliant! All the best, Rob

[@ForensicDetailing]

thx you kindly rob

[@jamesleonardi932]

Hugely informed and thorough review. Just brilliant and well worth a subscribe. Thanks!

[@Audittr2108]

Well done Jon, a great and in depth comparison that as usual, goes beyond what other channels do. Really interesting about the corrosion. I never considered that before but it is important. No surprise that Auto Foam won as I’ve never found anything that beats it in over 10 years of using. People criticise it sometimes for not producing a thick foam but I find that a plus point. Being thinner, it runs off taking the dirt with it much quicker. Especially handy in summer as it does it’s job before drying out.

[@boyztoyz121]

Brilliant. Thank you so much for this excellent review and comparison

[@klackon1]

Top job: thanks a lot. Literally used the last of my snow foam today and looking for a replacement. As a result of your comprehensive review I have subscribed.

[@ForensicDetailing]

thank you pete

[@chrisg4rr377]

Mint review. Really good point on the corrosion factor. Nothing worse than when you wash and clean the car and then the brake discs get surface corrosion on them which transfers onto the wheels when you drive

[@declanflaherty8958]

Hi Jon, based on following your channel for a while now, I am not surprised by the BH outcome :) I actually started to use it over the last few months, moving away from ValetPro and YES I see a massive difference...to be honest the foaming on the car is a load of bs, its better it works at doing what it does than looking good! In winter, we get alot of salt on the roads in Southern Finland and BH did a great job this year! Thanks for the super interesting video..keep up the great work!

[@thetooposhtomosh]

Many thanks for making this video. By watching your comparisons I have purchased 50 litres of Bilt Hamber auto foam, as I have a lot of farm machinery I like to keep looking as smart as possible. It arrived yesterday, and I started straight away by washing two machines off. I am very impressed with the detergent, it lifted dirt much more effectively than any product I have used previously. Highly satisfied Bilt Hamber user. Thanks again for your video.

[@ForensicDetailing]

wow, its great to hear all the different type of people that watch and follow the recomendations. Autofoam would be perfect for farm machinary where you want a really powerfull prewash. dont be afraid to really crank up the PIR with it to 3-4% if you need to. awesome thank you for the kind words.

[@tomasdubinskas]

Your crazy!!! In a good way, superb information, just solved my dilema choosing a snow foam. Want to add, that all of your videos are amazing, no bs, pure honesty 👍

[@ForensicDetailing]

Glad I could help :)

[@mell_gif]

Cracking little video that. Certainly a lot of effort goes into the prep of these shootouts 👍🏻 😎

[@Kashster222]

Good test and it proves for me that I thought BH has brilliant cleaning abilities. I've used it over the last few months and it's almost night and day difference from others I have tried.

[@Charlie-gx9lm]

I started using bilt hamber auto wash and the foam after watching your videos before, My car was sitting untouched from October till about March before I even touched it, Certain panels had thick greenish crust and really bad water stains that were semi baked into the paint , I was absolutely astounded by how much filth the bilt hamber foam took off before I’d actually washed it. 100% the best pre wash out there. Such an underrated company

[@wifferman]

Superb review, using relevant tests, very clearly explained - thank you very much!

[@Retset]

What a fantastically detailed and scientific test. Most impressed with the dirt simulator and corrosion tests. I've only ever used Bilt Hamber and am now very glad! Why? Well, I'm pretty sure it's thanks to a video of yours from a few years ago!

[@RichCSR2]

Amazingly useful video as ever and whilst I've never heard of bilt before it will now take place as my only foam. This is why I watch and subscribe, I want the best for my pride and joy but don't like getting ripped off.

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

Amazing video, we loved it. Keep up the good work Jon.

[@RaphaelYC]

Great video, thank you for taking the time to make this

[@CarFinanceSimplified]

Glad to see Bilt Hamber winning - always impressed with it. Low cling but very effective.

[@RussBoyles]

Awesome video. I'm in the market for a snow foam so this video couldn't have been better timed! Thanks for going to the effort

[@RamPatten]

Thank you for this comprehensive performance evaluation. I've purchased the winner at 5Ltr. The key for me was the steel corrosion analysis and the performance on breaking down and lifting dirt.

[@emmett3067]

Huge amount of work involved in this video - well done. I've been using Auto Finesse Avalanche for some time and have been happy with it, will need to find some Bilt Hamber now. I hear the UK detailers talk quite a bit about road tar and traffic film. Living in Sydney, Australia I can't say I've ever really noticed or had a problem with either of these two issues. Quite perplexing!

[@441greenleaf]

NEver seen such detailed and perfect comparison. thank you for your time. i subs'ed and liked, thats all i can do to support

[@philelson113]

Another great video John, it confirms what I think I already knew, that BH Auto Foam is by far the best product. I’ve used lots of others but nothing has come close. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

[@DocDelish]

Thanks Jon, I didn't know whether using a snow foam was just a placebo / gimmick and then I used BH auto foam. You've confirmed to me that it definitely wasn't and I'd chosen a good un. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@Gymnure]

Another awesome video. Really appreciate you making these

[@ForensicDetailing]

i really appreciate you saying that. honestly thanks so much.

[@ethompson5061]

Been looking forward to this one. Great video as always.

[@metalbyku]

Fantastic test! Thank you for putting so much effort. Cheers from Poland! :)

[@goplanit]

Brilliant, always been worried about what possible corrosive components were in foam, I now now what one to use.

[@scotsshuggie]

Just came across your channel first class, keep them coming.

[@MadDuff01]

Great video, helped me finally decide which foam cleaner to go with, great work

[@paula200]

Did a bit of research after my meguiars snow foam ran out. Bought the Bilt Hamber based on that research and using their other products. Glad I did because your video has vindicated my decision👍

[@joecanty205]

Purchasing some BH Auto Foam based on your tests and recommendations... keep up the good work!

[@jimgibson-brown6701]

Really glad I found your channel - very useful information explained very well 👍

[@einstein0808]

Thank you for all the hard work! Really loved the video. Very interesting! Never heard from Bilt-Hamber, but it's in my shopping cart right now.

[@TommyT_]

Aw yeah excited to see this in the subs. Especially since I just finished my valetpro 5ls so I'm due an order

[@brownie3609]

Hi Jon, Always up for seeing if the product world has moved on but, Bilt Hamber still the winner and still used by many of us following your original snow foam video some years back. Great work. Cheers

[@verdej2057]

300+ likes and not a single thumbs down 👌🏻 you are a class act, I’ve got every one of these except blizzard so loved this video!

[@ManiVII]

I already knew Bilt hamber would win.. simply unbeatable.

[@DentReverseHednesford]

Wow , very in detail review. I currently use Autobrite and ill be happy to continue with it

[@bails1310fcjq]

Just brought BH and while it doesn’t foam that much compared to previous so first outing thought it wouldn’t be as good, is noticeably cleaner when finished. Another great vid.

[@ObsessiveCyclist]

Tried out BH autofoam in a pump sprayer diluted to recommended 4% and was mightily impressed! Left me thinking if paint is contaminant free with a good layer of protection to begin with, a touchless wash might be achievable without leaving me feeling like I’ve only done half a job. Having used most of these products except this one I’m now a stout +1 proponent that this stuff works way beyond others in the same category. Thanks for the thorough review and unbiased recommendation 👍

[@johngeorge7610]

Proper test, very professionally put across.

[@marcvaughan9690]

Great video as always, another huge plus for BH AF is its just as good if not better through a garden sprayer, which for me is important as i don't have access to my own power washer, I simply turn up at local car cleaner with self use bay, prefoam with BH in sprayer and crack on.

[@ForensicDetailing]

it is mate, its not just because its alkaline either. got loads of alkaline cleaners. but none work as fast or as well as this. Its the choice of surfactants they are using and the formulation of them. just infinately more powerfull than other products. Autofoam even works better as a wheel cleaning than most wheel cleaning products believe it or not (at 5-10%)

[@johndiehardmclean23]

Even with me being a Chemical Manufacturer for over 20 years now,i still learn something from you every vid mate! 👍😏 Would really love to send you a gallon of my Hyperfoam to try out & available to no one usually online,as offline only! 👍😉

[@DavidC1]

Jon you should get an industry award for your scientific approach ...incredible.

[@lynol01]

I've just finished a 10 hour night shift and was gonna skip to the end but you kept my attention for the full video 👏👏 I'm currently using bilt hamber auto foam and I'll stick with it after watching

[@reflectivedetails6289]

Love the video... very informative as always mate.... I’ve been drawn to auto finesse snow foam... next time I’ll have to go straight for BH. Cheer bud

[@1984lexani]

Kudos for the efforts in this video, very nice !

[@Matkinson91]

Bilt Hamber does take some beating. Excellent video Jon, cheers mate!

[@neilwalker17]

Bought the BH from your store a while back after your recommendation and it works fantastic, yes it doesn't foam like crazy but as you said it's about the effectiveness of the product, been using 100ml BH in your 1 litre snow lance and it performs brilliantly, really loosens all the built up dirt and road film and the car looks great after drying with the silver gorilla towel ( also bought after your recommendation) . Thanks for another great non biased video

[@chrisryan3445]

The BH stuff may not stick as well or look as impressive but I would much rather it shifts the dirt and not rust out my metal - which from BH products you would expect as they do a whole range of anti corrosion and rust removal products. I swear by a few of their products, all that I have tried I have not found anything worth replacing them with - their Surfex HD is a great all purpose cleaner and degreaser and the Deox Gel is awesome at rust removal.

[@jamesbutler606]

Been using the BH AF for a year now after testing out ValetPro, AF and a couple of others - yes, the foam isn't anywhere near the AF or VP products but it cleans beautifully - the VP product i used was more of a full decon wash, strips everything off the surface, which has it's place especially before i ceramic coated my vehicles. I like mixing the BHAF with a spray bottle of the SurfexHD as a spot clean with my brush in winter while the BHAF does it's job on the lower panel area.

[@21SupermanP]

Very nice and informative video. You always put alot of detail and work in your videos. Amazing work!!👍👍👍

[@ForensicDetailing]

Thank you very much sang

[@noeking9095]

Fantastic forensic video on snow foams , I’m glad I’m already a proud owner of auto foam and magifoam which I mixtogerher to make my autofoam foamier to it cling that little bit longer on sunny or windy days 😎

[@derek723]

Lol don't mix chemicals

[@jimgee2676]

wow extremely detailed video , I love it , well done

[@waynefromcanada]

Once again Jon, great video. I have been using Angelwax’s Fastfoam. It foams well and seems to remove all the heavy road grime. Having said that, some of the things you spoke about in the video will make me take notice of how it performs the next time I use it. Knowledge is power isn’t it Jon. Thanks for the video. Till next time, cheers!

[@Jonnym96]

Quality video. Bilt Hamber always doing well as usual

[@Coverfire92]

youre smart guy jon. social media demands it be foamy so your car looks great for that 20 seconds when its covered in foam so youy can take a pic. but they dont actually care if its cleaning xD. but the fact that bilt hamber stuff doesnt corrode or rust your car is a great reason to use it. thanks for the vid :)

[@boristodorov5046]

Built Hamber all day long for me too. Just to add that if you using it with pump sprayer (80 ml BH to 1920 ml warm water) it’s more cheap and clean extremely well when you don’t have foam lancer 😉

[@Rasmus348e]

Your introduction was enough for me to subscribe, well done

[@SWAYLAB]

Amazing! Thank you for your research input.

[@adrianmonk68]

Best detailing channel by far!

[@snoggy75]

Another fantastic educational video amazing work Thankyou 👍

[@AndyK.1]

Thanks very much for taking the time and money to do this test for us. As a current B hamber user I am pleased with the result. It really does shift the dirt. Not impressed with vallet pro.

[@Auris58]

Great vid I have been banging on about BH Auto foam for years now about how good it is.

[@Gareth_Walker_Photographer]

Great video and result - Bilt Hamber is amazing stuff. Excellent to see Magifoam finish so high as it was my foam of choice before I discovered BH products. Always liked Magifoam however the foaming agents quickly clog the gauze filter in the foam canon requiring regular maintenance which is a pain.

[@pjmeaks]

crackin video john. i,m like you all for saving people a few quid & finding the best products...go to the top of the class...

[@lukeh3582]

Yet another great video, thanks!

[@Dean.martin.93]

Been waiting for this video 😎 keep up the great work jonny boi! If any body didnt know bilt hamber are also doing 1litre versions of there shampoo! 🥰

[@ryancosta8878]

Great video! I like purple power vehicle and boat soap for any that I’m doing a full decontamination on. I feel like it does a good job breaking down grime

[@Carvetii]

Bilt hamber products are fantastic and the Auto foam I started using a couple of weeks ago. It's very very impressive really helps and you just don't need to be as aggressive when washing as it's removed just about all the grime anyway.

[@bretthays2674]

Great video! The Bilt Hamber product is amazing and available in the US on Amazon. Just ordered. Pretty penny, but dilutes 25:1 and it looks to be so effective!
