    Review - BF Car Wash

    I received this product at no charge from Meghan, and in return, I agreed to provide a review on the forum. I will try to keep this as objective as I can.

    Upon opening the container I'm greeted with a mild floral scent. The soap is extremely thick. At a 1oz to 3 gallon dilution it did disperse easily into the water creating a lot of suds and my measuring cup rinsed cleaned without effort. In trying to dilute it at 1:10 in a foam cannon I needed hot water to get it to completely disperse.

    As a traditional wash it provided adequate lubricity, did not dry too quick even when working in direct sun at 70F. The suds were very stable, I found some in the gutter 6 hours later. It worked well as a clay lube with the BF clay mitt and a mother's clay bar producing no marring at all. It rinsed easily off the panels and left no residue at all.

    Based on the description on the bottle I get the impression that it contains some agent to fortify the protection on the paint, though beading on the paint did not change after rinsing.

    Suds in the bucket after adding 2.5 gallons, then adding the soap while filling with the remaining half gallon. This suds up very quick.




    Results from the foam cannon at a 1:10 dilution. Not the most impressive and ran off a little too fast. Just to note, there is a dedicated foam soap, so this is a bit of an off label use.

    it sounds like it might be a step up from their old formula which I wasn't impressed with at all. Thanks for the review!

    Nicely done. I like most PBMG soaps but the price keeps me away. Even at BOGO they aren’t worth it IMO.

    really, its 1 of my favorites, I have to get the gallon to make it worthwhile though. The small bottle is way to stingy for the amount you have to use for decent results in a foam gun.

    It is definitely a step up, we changed this formula up a lot!

    Thanks for the review!

    As more of these new product reviews pile in, I'm curious what the product line will look like, post-SEMA.

    Agree. The previous one had plenty of the Blackfire polymers in it to make a vehicle look good when the wash was done, but I never found it as slick or cleaning ability on the same level as other competitors.
