Bilt Hamber Surfex HD v Autoglanz Alkalloy wheel cleaner 

Such an amazing product for the cost it’s incredible 👌

You'll like the Kich Gs too. Safe, very effective, cheap, safe. Payed 50 EUR for ten liters.

Thanks for the recommendation Alan!, I must say it took me very much by surprise how much better it is 👌

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks mate. Yeah loving the flexibility of surfex Thanks for the group feedback, I don’t feel brand adverts benefit a group at all , keep it chatty 😅

Lee you’re not going to believe this but if you look on Bilt Hamber’s website it says Surfex was voted as the best lance applied shampoo!! 😳😳

@GM Details I don't read Graeme 😂. But honestly, that is really surprising. I've seen people run comparisons, nit through a lance or foamer and several have eluded to it not foaming up. Do I want to try it through a lance, I'm nit sure I do but definitely through the foamer. I wonder what the experience would be like to throw a little shampoo, such as autowash in with it, add that lubricity 🤔. Thanks for the reply Graeme.

Thanks Mark!, I’ve been trying out Greenstar for a while now and recently discovered it also has corrosion inhibitors too but per litre cheaper than Surfex , never put them up against each other before so I’ll def be making a comparison

@@GMDetails looking forward to that one.

I think I still will go with alkaloy for maintains washes, do to more foamy and lubricants. From a weekend warrior aspect 😊

@@LasseJohannsen1 foam parties are so much more enjoyable eh 🫧🫧

Thanks John!, well Alkalloy was doing a pretty good job without Rebound so I didn’t see the need to throw several chemicals at it like some do for the gram ! 😤 I do love a nice sheepskin mitt mines fell apart as they are usually genuine wool and will eventually go over time being natural

Thanks 😅 I do look forward to seeing what GS can do against Surfex but maybe towards winter when the road grime is in need of a decent pre soak

Hi Martin. Hope you're well, not heard from you for a bit

Hi Martin 💙same goes for you too mate , totally unbiased genuine user experience , I don’t watch a hell of a lot of what I used to as they’ve either sold out to make money and producing adverts or simply spew out website descriptions and say everything is awesome so they get more free products 😤

@@jamesbartlett5005 I’m still here James just nothing worthwhile getting the camera out for but will be uploading videos when I think they may be of use. Thanks for checking in 👍

@@GMDetails spot on mate👍

Nice to see you about Martin. Missing your content and videos. Hope you're keeping well and enjoying the lovely weather we're having. Agreed on the Vican brush. Really well made but unfortunately bit too clumsy to use across all wheels and makes. Perfect for jobs around the house though.

Hi nick, I have the vikan wheel brush and like using it, however, I still tend to hit the corners with a boars hair or something similar. I definitely need to try GS, but still got 4L of surfex 😳. All the best.

Yeah I’ll be completely honest and say I thought that brush WAS the wheel face brush but since realised it’s not after I made the recording 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Just watched @sparklean autos demo it , magic wheel cleaner?, looks brilliant 👌

Surfex HD is not a dedicated wheel cleaner it is an APC.

Thanks James , baked on brake dust can be easily removed with KKD Devil’s juice or wowos wheel cleaner for a ready to use option, or walk into most supermarkets and get some Wonder Wheels reactive wheel cleaner for around £5 , really does work wonders 👌

@@GMDetails cheers pal

I did say that Chris and obviously results were different due to more mechanical agitation but I feel Alkalloy did well with its lubricity and carrying grime away in foam, I was annoyed at myself for changing it without realising as I was enjoying the process and got distracted from the test 😫

Thanks Andy!, weirdly I think I’ve had more people sticking up for Alkalloy this time 😅 It would seem that Surfex in the foamer has been a revelation but not quite as enjoyable as Alkalloy , I’m hoping there’s a difference with GS otherwise it’ll be a quick video 🤣

Oh thanks for that info mate. It certainly was turning brown on impact so I’ll continue with Rebound from now on and keep an eye on it 👌

@@GMDetails no worries at all, its a real shame because its incredibly effective as well as cheap, even at those dilution ratios but i think its more potent that people estimate. I certainly found out the hard way!

I know!!, the whole point was I was trying something that’s all over RU-vid and I didn’t get on with it , I never use brushes like this but seemed like I was missing out on something amazing, clearly not 😂

Yes I don’t think it’s quite designated a drain cleaner yet 😅 I’ll still keep using it as I do enjoy Alkalloy and possibly more so it can foam and help dwell times As a hobbyist it’s not about what will do the quickest but what is most enjoyable so even though surfex was better it wasn’t as lubricated so that’s where I’m thinking GS might bring the two together 🤔 Thanks for your comment and watching the video , much appreciated

@@GMDetails aha wouldn't surprise me if Surfex was decent at cleaning drains lmao. This stuff is so OP I genuinely can't believe how good it is. Cleans the grease stains on my kitchen paint easy. Cleans the grease off the chimney hood, oven cleaner...you could genuinely use this product around the house for stuff. That's the thing with Surfex HD. It'll foam up but it won't last that way and nor will it hang about for dwell time either. It works by wetting out the surface and that's about it so has room for improvement but as far as cleaning power goes... it'll take some beating. Yeah some people swear by KC GS because it's so cheap per litre but BH is cheaper at 5 litres. GS is more foamy and has rust inhibitors as well inside. There doesn't seem to be too much to choose between the two. I'm a weekend warrior at best so for me cost and performance go hand in hand. That's what gives me the enioyment. Maximum attack at a good price which doesn't damage the car long term or hurt the environment unnecessarily. Thanks for making the content. Much appreciated and always brilliant to have small questions answered. Another great thing about Surfex is you can use it at 10%ish to clean out your sealant or polishing pads by leaving them to soak in a mix of it. It's so damn versatile as an interior or carpet cleaner as well. Graeme, would you be able to see and compare Gyeon Wetcoat and Bilt Hamber touch on, on alloys as a way to protect them and make them easier to clean (they both advertise self cleaning properties).

The problem with a test like that is results vary across the spectrum of how the vehicle is driven to the mileage and storage etc , my results might not be the same as yours eg but I am doing a test on 2 current sealants for a video over 1000 miles the sealants are Wowo’s crystal and Monstershine Euphoria , I’ve ran out of my touch - on sachets but I’ll have a look and see if I can find someone selling them single 👌

@@GMDetails agreed. Results will always vary. There are so many variable like water hardness, season, alloy finish, prep, road conditions, brake pads and so on. Can't do too much about those but some kind of test would be good considering that as far as content goes, nobody has done this before so it would actually make for a good video and first of a kind. Not all too common to see genuine new content with all the content creators and detailers that are about.

It’s certainly an interesting subject I’d love to explore 👌

I can’t use wheel woolies on my car or this due to the spoke gaps not being large enough but they will be appearing on the channel soon. 🤗
