The Car Boutique reviews: BILT HAMBER Double Speed Wax, Finis-Wax, and Auto-Balm.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Value for money the double speed wins clearly. As an ex-valeter and hobby detailer, it's my wax of choice. Not only is it very good for beading, and outstanding value for money, it has the best longevity of any wax I have used. The only downside, if you put too much on, and leave it for too long before removing, it's actually quite a struggle getting it off.

[@thecarboutique2467]

Nik. Perfectly summed up their buddy. You should do some reviews. Thanks for watching.

Think Simonize would give this was a run for it's Money

[@fnagdungdagint]

Great video, very usefull. The results are pretty much as I thought, but the filling capability and slickness of Autobalm surprised me. It’s finis wax during summer for me 👍

[@thecarboutique2467]

Thanks for watching. This was an old video but I do plan to do a revisit of these waxes over the next few months. Cheers and thanks for leaving a positive comment. Appreciate it.

[@tkthebear984]

Great demo of the Bilt Hamber range and well presented….Brilliant.

[@thecarboutique2467]

Thanks. It's an old video with old video and audio equipment. We are a bit more polished these days. Thnks though, appreciate the kind words.

[@JulietHotelFoxtrot]

This is a really good video. What I really appreciate is taking the time to go beyond the marketing and explain some of the nuances between these products. It is not really clear at all what the target end user is of these when you stick to the tear sheet. I did not know that the balm was principally a corrosion inhibitor first, and a visual enhancement second. That's a very interesting point. That actually might be better for some of the applications I have which are older vehicles that have a number of rock chips on them.

[@thecarboutique2467]

Thanks for watching buddy. An old video that I plan to do a revisit to. Cheers.

[@JulietHotelFoxtrot]

@@thecarboutique2467 Well as it turns out, the scintillating video was for naught. They do not sell any of these Bilt Hamber waxes in the USA anymore.

[@thecarboutique2467]

Hiya, It is disappointing that BH do not sell in the USA. Hopefully somebody picks up the distribution rights in the future.

[@Kargol48]

Late to the party, but great video, thanks for posting! Do you know if it is possible to layer Finis on top of Double Speed Wax? Would there be any benefit to doing so? Intersted to hear your thoughts.

[@Kedig35]

Just found your channel via your FB post on the speed 6 detailing community. Great video, very informative with helpful tips and an easy watch. I will definitely try the quicker removal next time i apply DSW. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos both new and old. Thanks Kev

[@thecarboutique2467]

Cheers Kev. Appreciate the feedback. We love doing them and want to always be unbiased and give honest feedback. Thanks.

Thanks Damien and appreciate your kind words. We are a small channel so any feedback is always welcome. Cheers.

[@jimenez2144]

Absolute brilliant, detailed look at their range of waxes!!! I’m slowly moving most of my products over to BH as the few I have or used are excellent…I’ve just bought a new (to me) car and although I have DSW I may also purchase Finis now 👍 Like you said, I’d be interested to know if a Auto-Balm combo with DSW/Finis would work!

[@thecarboutique2467]

Thanks James. I am a big fan of BH products. Thanks for comments. We will be experimenting with wax combinations in the near future.

Great content! Gotten away with many valuable points between the three quality products.

[@Munch1966]

Really good video, kept me engaged till the end. I do have some Double Speed Wax but haven’t used it yet. Still waiting for a break in this sheeeite weather to break it out. Quick newbie question though if I may? When you are buffing off with the same Microfibre cloth, would cross contamination of the three different products compromise the overall results on each panel? Keep up the good work with TCB, loving the podcasts! 😊

[@thecarboutique2467]

Hiya buddy and thanks for watching 1 of our original videos. Your observation is correct. Albeit minimal influence, a fresh towel.shpuld be used to avoid cross contamination. Top observation buddy.

[@mad7206]

I love bilt hamber products, been using them for a year and it a no nonsense range. Can you layer auto balm over existing ceramic coatings

[@thecarboutique2467]

I personally would not as the ceramic would not bond very well. I have applied wax on top of ceramic for the warm glow it gives but even then, the wax doesn't last as long as like ceramic, products bond best to clean paint.

[@acidrain55]

Top man thanks!

[@salehuddin8871]

I love Bilt Hamber products. A great review giving me just the info I wanted on each. Am going to use the Finis on y TTS and the balm then finis on my wife's car, as it it older.

[@salehuddin8871]

Could you tell me what the "swipe test" is about?

[@thecarboutique2467]

Great stuff. You won't be disappointed. Good luck.

[@thecarboutique2467]

@@salehuddin8871 The swipe test. Run your finger across the panel where you have applied wax. If it is still oily or wet where you have swiped then leave the wax longer. If you swipe your finger and the panel underneath is dry or shows no sign of wax smearing, it's a good indicator you can buff off the wax.

[@MrGymCrazy]

You're preaching to the converted with BH products but a great comparison so we can decide which to go for. I've got DSW but not had chance to try it yet, partly because I was put off by the various posts about how difficult it is to use on hot panels (our drive points south :-( ) but looking forward to giving it a go. You mention using a panel wipe, do you use a bought one or make up your own?

[@thecarboutique2467]

Hiya Shaun. Panel wipe wise I usually use Mitchell & King pre wax cleaner or Gtechniq Panel wipe. I find if you remove DSW quicker than the recommended 5 to 10 minutes you don't get the removal issues. I only leave mine for a minute or 2. Cheers

[@jackdale9249]

HI The best ever is to use Bilt Hamber clay fr the UK they have their own clay mine! avail in S, M, H grades it is so pure they say and it is TRUE! you can use just plain water for lube ! ! try it let me know what you think? and update your video with w/an addendum ? thx Jack ps A GENUINE, REAL SEA SPONGE IS BEST for washing better than some dumb fake sponge or microfiber mitt ! holds MORE water and suds and consumers reports scientists and engineers say it is best too and will NOT scratch !

[@thecarboutique2467]

Hiya Jake. Eventually getting back to you. I have tried all the BH clays and they do their job well. I do find the clays are a bit hard to use at the start but leaving them in warm water pre-use does help to soften them up. I must confess to only use them with dedicated clay lubes and have not used them just with water. We aim to do a full car detail using BH products this year so will try using just water as the lubrication. Hope you are well buddy.

[@kauserabdin5631]

@@thecarboutique2467May be an old video but the products still hold great up to today! I’ve used double speed wax recently and was wondering if I should try the Finis wax next. From your review, seems as though double speed is more cost efficient so I’ll stick with that. Thanks again for the comparisons, they were really helpful!

[@thecarboutique2467]

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Great video

[@thecarboutique2467]

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed our video. An old video taken when we were just starting so we do plan do a more professional video review soon. We had to start somewhere. Cheers again.

[@erictenwestenend868]

Finis wax more difficult to buy over here, its the price i think. I currently use fusso coat and fusso f7 but will test double speed wax also

[@thecarboutique2467]

DSW is a good wax. It can be a little tricky to remove if you apply too thick. It's main attribute is its longevity and that is why so many people use it as their winter protection.

[@erictenwestenend868]

Better than fusso coat?

[@thecarboutique2467]

In terms of longevity, Fusso has better longevity without a doubt.

[@philbloomer1]

Really superb video, will any reviews be done of Hydra wax?, just curious

[@thecarboutique2467]

Phil. Hydra wax coming in a few weeks. I really should have added it to this review but totally forgot about that product. My bad. Will do a review ASAP. Thanks for comments.

[@martin1649]

Tested on single stage paint the hydra wax is a joy to apply but doesn't last as long as DSW, perhaps just about a month. Beading when fresh applied is very nice
