Hi!

What are your opinions regarding Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam? Is it any good?

Thanks!

I have Auto-foam and Rinseless and they are, hands down, the best pre-washes I've ever used. This past winter I used them on my very salty previous car and it just melted the grime away, only the very bottom had a "shadow of grit" left behind.

I've also used their Auto Wash and it rivals Reset and is VERY concentrated, pure clean, no Gloss or wax enhancers here

I'm so glad it's readily available now in the U.S.

Yeah definitely best pre wash I have used and got a gallon of touchless waiting in the wings.

Agree with the AutoWash also.

Some warnings.

If you don’t have a Pressure washer go with Touchless .

Both are high alkaline and can affect waxes and sealants.

I don’t worry about that just re apply something after.

Good comparison to hear. I bought both at the same time but haven't used Auto Wash yet. Maybe that's more economical? Actually had a chance to get Reset in 4L bottles at the same time that were heavily discounted because they were damaged and leaked. After using it, it was a bit of a face palm moment for not picking that up.

If you want to have one of the best prewash around. Then yes BH Auto-Foam will get you that. But are you after a shaving thick foam for show then this is not your product. The impact ratio is quite high so you will use a lot of it. But if you wash regualary and don't deal with road salt and heavy grime. You can dilute it in the foamcannon bottle 1:3-1:4 for best cleaning ability use it straight up and dial back the chemichal setting back a notch. And to get the most out of it foam it on a dry vehical. So no prerinse and you get the best cleaning from it.

Have used this for around 4-5 years now. And have tested other TFR and dedicated prewash foams. But still today I comes back to Auto-Foam. We have a way bigger market on these products here in EU.

I would try any shampoo you had 1:1 in the foam cannon first before i bought auto-foam. That's the rough number to get the 4% PIR.

Personally, I am not a fan of foam cannons for deep cleaning, i rather use a pump sprayer.

I would love to see someone test reset Vs autofoam with both at the 4% PIR. That said reset would be super expensive used that way.

Honestly, i'm surprised that people that really enjoy foaming don't throw in an oz of APC in their cannon. I would on a very dirty car.

Personally i just throw something like multix or lift in a pumper sprayer.

I did recently pick up a foaming spray nozzle made by Tolco. I will be using it with carpro's lift or a similar product from europe cut 10:1. Give the hands a workout haha

I use Bilt-Hamber Touchless and Auto-foam in my IK Foam Pro 12 because I don't have a foam cannon. I'm using about 5 oz to 1 gallon of distilled water with great results, although in the winter I used a bit more soap, maybe 1-2 ounces.

Yeah Reset used that way would be too expensive, same with Lyft

I would love to have one of those IK Foam pro 12 foamers. It makes a lot more sense to me. Maybe i will pick one up one of these days...

Lift is way overpriced IMO. I'll never buy it again. I have a similar product now that is double the value - primus from europe.

I'm a carpro fan but they have some expensive products but ironically some of the cheapest coatings around.

Buy a mini battery powered air compressor for the IK which allows you to run it constantly so you can foam your entire car

Would either of these be good for vehicles that see off road use and get really dirty?
