Been using Surfex HD at 4% for prewash, 9% for wheels and door shuts, 20% for engine bay. It just works!

[@owensteele1274]

That stuff lifts everything off the surfaces doesn't it? I knew it would win. Works well for me too, and also, I'm not getting flash-rust on discs when using on wheels, that must be the corrosion-inhibitors acting in use before agitating and rinsing.

[@JWL-UK]

Does it remove wax/sealant when used as a prewash mate? Thanks

[@squadmeta]

@@JWL-UK Not that I've noticed. I use Collinite 476s which seems resistant to most things anyway but I'm pretty sure 4% is the recommended mix on Bilt Hamber website. I use a 5 litre hand pump sprayer from Screwfix, 200ml Surfex and top up to 5 litres with water. If I have to wash in sunny conditions I mist some water over as it dwells to stop it drying out. Unbeatable for the price, around £17 for 125 litres of prewash at that strength!

[@jim6751]

I was thinking of buying this for a pre wash instead of tfr. Is this suitable to use for every maintenance wash? Cheers.

[@markkerr3761]

@@jim6751 I tend to mix this up at 25-30ml with 500ml water in karcher foam bottle (the one that came with my karcher, no use for anything else since buying a proper snow foam lance!) and spray all over the lower half of the car, including a good amount in the arches... After 5 mins, cover the car in BH auto foam over the top of the surfex HD... Wash my wheels (with HDD Brake Through) then hose it all off and car is 95% clean! Quick once over with BH auto wash and job done... That's only my weekly winter wash though, when the cooler, damper air allows gor longer dwell times... In the summer its the same, only the wheels are washed BEFORE applying pre wash to the bodywork 👍🏼

You should try BH Autofoam vs Surfex , i've seen it can be even sprayed instead of foamed :) that would be the king of tests

Several of us have been hammering the only Bilt-Hamber distributor in the U. S. to carry the Auto-Foam, too. They have the Korrosol, Auto-wash, and Surfex already. They are considering the Auto-foam as soon as they can find out some pricing for us. Thanks for bringing their products to light for us.

[@ForensicDetailing]

hey josey I hope they are competativly priced. Im not sure how well this brand will fit the US market. And thats not a stealth dig. but the US market doesnt tend to "do" pre wash and rinse, prewash products so much.. All this stuff is also not really foamy and theres no scent to it, it doesnt have strong branding. biggest critism I hear of it in the UK on like forums is people think because it doesnt foam it isnt as good, and I think that will happen in the US a bit as well. its the simply performance of the wash and decon products thoguh that stand out for me.

[@JMJ3rd]

@@ForensicDetailing What I'm seeing in the testing is what I want /like. Excessive foam is for show, to me. I like the performance. We're hoping the price will be competitive, but if not too much more, I'll still get it. Thanks, again!

I love surfex hd. I also used it to clean upvc windows at a 50:50 mix. Used a brush with it after a few mins. Got all the stains off. Far better than solvent and cream upvc cleaners by far.

[@LucaBonato]

I've seen glasses get stained by surfex hd. Using this dilution 1:1 is so strong you can remove engine bay oil. Even a 5% dilution is more than enough

[@kwl189]

Agreed with Luca. That's way too strong for a window cleaner. 5-10% is all you will ever need especially if you are using a brush. 50% is wasting product needlessly. 20% will rip through the greasiest of ovens.

@@derek723in practice there’s virtually no difference between the two products and their cleaning power. This test naturally suits the degreasing properties of Surfex.

[@sparx9379]

Great video and channel Jon. I have just bought 5ltr of the Surfex HD for multiple applications. What kind of dilution would be best to use for exterior and general interior cleaning in your opinion please??

[@kwl189]

Exterior look for 4/5% PIR or 1:19/1:24 in a pump-up sprayer. Basically 4/5% in a pump-up sprayer. Very effective at getting rid of bugs off your car after a battering on the motorway. Dead cheap to use and very effective. 5% as a prewash on the alloys does nicely at loosening the dirt that isn't embedded on the alloy and gets rid of a chunk on the rinse down. 5% - 10% will clean the tyres really well and with some agitation will remove 95% off the dirt off the alloy. The only time it won't is if its iron particles embedded or tar. For that, use autowheels or Korrosol. You can use AW or Korrosol every few months so you don't waste product and money needlessly. Use it after you took off what you can with SHD.

[@hawx7gaming368]

So surprised it wasnt a lot closer as green star is amazing! I'm really gonna have to give bilt a shot soon, they just work dont they!

I’ll give the wheels a good wash but I’m keen just to get any road salt off the car that is still around.

[@ForensicDetailing]

sure you can use it this way but surfex is a powerfull degreser.. if its just light dust then a normal snow foam prewash is prolly better. problem is you never break away all the dust or dirt with prewash. you need a bit of contact.. so when you try and dry a car thats just been prewashed only you can scratch it more if towel drying...

Just got this for the car after watching your recommendation and now thinking it would work well on the caravan also ?

[@ForensicDetailing]

its a bit strong to use APC degreasers to clean a caravan, it will work well but I would use a milder automotive shampoo.. like BH autowash.

Does Surfex HD clean water spots as good as FSE?

[@BrianW1612]

It's a degreaser, not a quick detailer.

Hi, are these okay to clean engine bay and parts? Not feeling using water to be fair to rinse

[@ForensicDetailing]

yes m8, but they need rinsing away or mopping up with a microfiber.
