First day using Bilt Hamber touchless.

Anyone use this in winter with salt and grime? Would be great to use at the coin wash if possible.

That's my plan exactly for Alaska salt and road grime

I just pulled the trigger on an order

Bilt Hamber Auto Foam, IK Foam Pro 2+, and a quart of N914 to get to free shipping

I figure a pretreatment with BH, wand wash to follow, and a quick rinseless if I can sneak it in due to the "no bucket wash" policy

Fingers crossed

I noticed after a few times doing this that I had some film that was still left behind. The car was still pretty clean considering it was winter and it wasn't a contact wash.

Ammo Frothe Anti Salt is another option but it's not high pH like Touchless.

I have zero doubt you won't be disappointed!!! I just want to hear your take on the smell?

Yeah I will go to CarWash with my IK. Sometimes power wash off and come home and do a rinseless.

Will also foam and let dwell sometimes before going through a touchless wash.

If not far just drive home and do the rinseless in your garage. Be ALOT of pumping with the foam pro 2.

You should look into the battery powered SPTA foamer.

I am not sure how I missed that graphic comparing the two...

You guys have me second guessing my choice of Auto Foam over Touchless but since I will be using it at the coin-op wand wash I think maybe for sheer cleaning power Auto Foam might be the better choice

I am basing a lot of my decision on Bilt Hamber saying if you are only going to try one product, try Auto Foam

We shall see

Sadly, no garage yet, just the carport at the place where we are staying

So I have to do it all at the wand wash or use the BH and the wand wash to get the majority of the crud off and then drive through the tunnel wash as a final rinse and blow dry

I hate the “protectant” crap the tunnel wash applies but again, better than nothing

Not a perfect plan by any means but better than letting all that crap sit on the paint all winter

I think the tunnel wash is critical anyway just to keep the undersides, rocker panels, etc blasted as clean as possible

As far as the battery SPTA foamer I have problems getting lithium ion battery powered stuff shipped to Alaska because it’s not supposed to go by air, it’s supposed to go ground only and frequently that’s not an option

SPTA refused to sell and ship extra batteries for the mini polisher I bought last spring

The Big River company wouldn’t even ship the polisher to me because of the batteries, I had to buy it from a third party seller on flea bay

I could probably shop around and find one but I will try the pump up sprayer and see how it goes

Thanks for the input!

You like bubbles? I'm very close to the place they film the show. He's epic lol Ricky was great too. They are actually popular in the Philippines too.

If I’m buying just one, do I want Touch-Less or Auto-Foam?

Autofoam works better for me but if your not going to pressure rinse then Touchless.

Bilt Hamber says depending on the road film you see one may work better than others
