    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After bouncing around between Adam's and Shine Supply I went with Can Coat Evo. Original Can Coat worked so well I figured I might as well stay with it. I'm not going to polish this time though. Going to do a full decon using Iron/Descale and Paint Prep. Reapply Can Coat only this time the Evo version. Going to use Can Coat on engine bay plastic too.

    Thanks for sharing! This is an important part to know - nothing worse than fighting a wash because a product doesn't like being cold!

    I see you've got Descale in the basket and I've used it and it's ok for what it is but a gallon of Bilt-Hamber Auto-foam and Touchless ($44-50 give or take) is a better value and stronger product, plus you can do touch-free washes using either one at a reduced rate, pre-wash at the advertised rate or stronger rate for more intense uses. Not bashing your choice so don't get me wrong but for a few dollars more you'd have A L O T more product with either of the Bilt-Hamber products mentioned What did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    The thing is, I've been using these 2 products for well over a year and I just don't need anything else for pre-wash during the winter. When my car was crusty/dirty, these products would just melt away the muck!!

    Now during the other 3 seasons, I don't have to use them as much because I'll be doing 2BM washes more often but in the event where it rains many days in a row and the EN is TRASHED, a pre-wash using either one laughs at the dirt and makes the contact was VERY EASYWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Finally price, we all care about it and not only is Bilt-Hamber Touchless and Auto-foam great at what they do but are a much, much better value than Descale, although we're talking about a 16 oz bottle compared to a gallon but even the bigger size of Descale, if there's even one available, isn't going to match them! Don't even get me started on Bilt-Hamber AutoWash, their SUPER concentrated carwash. This product is crazy, 1 oz in your 5 gallon bucket makes a strong wash with crazy bubbles. The pH of Auto-foam and Touchless are 12-13, so keep that in mindWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    You know that’s 3 times the recommended dilution. It has a 2000 to 1 dilution.




    Next time try .4 to .5oz to 3.5 gallons of water.

    If your trying to get it clean/clean look up ABC wash method by Labocosmetica.

    Basically you do a acidic wash, like Descale. Rinse. Followed by a alkaline wash. You could us BH products or I like Mckee’s Coating prep soap.

    Then a PH neutral wash. ValuGard which is used by dealers wash process is the same. I just did the same with what I had available to me.
