First day using Bilt Hamber touchless.

From me...it's winter, who's doing a 2BM wash?

AutoFoam is recommended to use a Pressure Washer to rinse. Touchless can be done with a garden hose…. Then follow up with a rinseless is fine.

I've never done hand spraying....so hence the ask. On a car or SUV, what's the average consumption via such method. I know it may vary but put me in the ballpark
3/4 gallon for a sedan, 2 gallon for a suv , etc >

I'll so find out - just wondering,

Bilt Hamber Auto foam... the best?

Here’s a thread started 4 years ago on Autopia about AutoFoam. Scroll down to the 30th or 40th post to my Camaro and you can see how well it works.

The white shows it better

I'd quickly like to speak on the "runny" nature of Bilt-Hamber Touchless or Auto-foam. This is a serious pre-wash product and while a "foam party" may be fun and cool, this product is where the heavy lifting is done (pun intended). You see what happens is due to the high pH, 12 & 13, the product gets on the paint, breaks things down and ends up puddling all around your car, you can SEE what it's done️

You are aware of its high ph , which obviously helps with melting the stuff off....with the caveat of LSP. It's a use case for me where I generally use this during the winter months and or if the car has been driven through rain and there is all sorts of muck I want to remove . How often are you using this - unless you are consistently topping off your LSP

It's been a loooooong time since I visited DW.UK forum but back in the days, high PH pre-rinse was a fairly standard fare item as part of the regular wash regimen...

This thread seems to be as current or as close to one as it gets....

For those who are using BH as a prewash or the like, what is the -frequency- in which you are using on the same vehicle.
I get pro's may use this as part of a full on deep wash before the polishing...

For those weekend warrior joes or those pros doing maintenance washes, etc - how often are you using this High PH wash.
A recent post from what appears to be a -newbie- asking about BH spurned this inquiry for me.

For me, I have 2 new jugs of AF and Touchless and alot of other older Pre Washes on deck.
With no major salting forecasting, I might not even use it this year.
My use case is for when it's salt crusted with sand and salt and maybe a long distance drive vacation where it's got covered in muck .

I might use it once or twice a season. That seems to be in line with some previous comments of a wax lasting 3 uses.

These days I rarely use it on my own car. Maybe once every 3 to 4 months with Descale as part of a coating deep clean. I mostly use it on customers that like to go 4+ months between washes

Once every month or two. Figure it’s not gonna hurt a coating and remove toppers for fresh application

When I first got Bilt-Hamber Touchless and Auto-foam I used it alot more because my car is coated, plus I'm always "boosting" up the paint. My coating is about 1.5 yrs old and still beads GREAT, especially after using Bilt-Hamber products

I frequently re-wax my car as I am only detailing one vehicle, not a fleet or customers. I personally don't mind the degradation. An excuse to bust the wax out again.

Same here. To me,applying a LSP is the main event of detailing. Because I have a garage and live in optimum detailing weather nearly all year round, I won't even consider something you apply every 1 or 2 years. It takes the fun out of everything for me.
