@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

you have catagory for Cleaning if thats the priorty and you have a catagory for like foaming. you cannot measure slickness even the guys that make it has no lab style test for slickness. price per wash is just about the only tangable thing you can seperate them on. but I realised it wont matter to all so we had catagories for like best retail luxoury one as well. you have recomendations here for literally anything and everything you could want in a car shampoo.

@@dimmacommunication no worries mate that are all good points to raise I want to hear opinions all the time. Ive used at 2 caps and 4 caps, but all the shampoos as you see them in the orange buckets and in the ghost bucket were used at lowest recomended concentration g wash says 2-4 capfulls but also say 1:1800 . 1:1800 is like closer to less than 1 capful. still works ok at that low concentration but you get much better suds and stuff when you use a couple

Well who would have thought a car shampoo vid could be so interesting. Great job Jon, you deserve a well earned break and a stiff drink after all that hard work. My go to shampoos are Bh auto and Chem guys gloss works. These two shampoos do everything I want and need but can see the advantage of the Adams for the summer. I know that you are trying to keep your vids shorter but from the interest and amount of information and advice that you give from my point of view 50 minutes or longer is no problem when you're covering so many products etc. It's a pleasure to watch your channel Jon cheers 😀

@davidbee8178 6 лет назад

Each one of your videos is a treat, Mate! I'm a pro detailer in MTL Canada and I've given up on the usual bucket and mitt wash and now use Optimum No Rinse and Wax on normally maintained cars with quite stunning results for VERY little expense per wash. BUT !! There IS a secret if you want way better than average results. FIRST, pour 5 capfuls into a 5 gallon bucket that has a lid on it because that amount will last you for 10 to 12 washes - AT LEAST. NEXT, take 2 or 3 VERY plush, thick, CLEAN 16"X16" cloths and soak them in the bucket. Fold each cloth into 4 and use ONE surface of the cloth for PER PANEL. DO NOT RE-DIP YOUR WASH CLOTH into the wash medium!!! (This beats the "two bucket method" by a country mile since your wash cloth AND your wash medium are ALWAYS CLEAN AND have NO GRIT in them whatsoever!!) Again: wash ONE panel with ONE side of the cloth and keep switching cloth sides for each new surface. EACH cloth has 8 sides, so 2 cloths should do for the average size car. With the Optimum No Rinse, and Wax, you can do one panel at time from the top down and then dry each panel right away with a soft waffle weave drying cloth spayed with your favourite Quick Detailer as a towel lubricant AND to add another layer of shine to the Carnauba Wax that is part of the Optimum's solution. At first I had doubters but everyone swore that they'd just had their car waxed after their wash! ( I call it a Detail Wash : ). BTW, I take FOUR, separate BLACK cloths and use one per each wheel and when finished, I put them in the wash to clean them SEPARATELY from the cloths I use on the cars. Happy detailing! Sorry for the long comment John - just wanted to get you back for your long vids! : )

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

awesome david thanks mate. so many peeps choose the ONR way.

@kidoctane 6 лет назад

David.......this is exactly the way I do. Nice to see a pro-detailer using this rather than the BRS BTW - how do you dry after ONRWW

@davidguberman4780 5 лет назад

Excellent method to suggest for ONR washing, especially now that old man winter has come upon us forcing us to work indoors without the hose. By the way, which plush microfiber do you use on your vehicles for this particular method? I've actually tried Detailing Image's reTHICKulous towels the past and had some moderate success with them.

@davidbee8178 5 лет назад

@@kidoctane Sorry Joseph for the past due reply - only saw it today! : ) Just take any good soft waffle weave drying towel and spray it LIGHTLY with a quick detailer like Chemical Guys VO7 to make sure you don't dry the surface with a completely dry towel and flip the cloth over for each panel. So, two or three waffle weaves should do you for the whole car or maybe 4 for an SUV. Cheers and happy detailing . . . errr . . . washing ! BTW - I'm not familiar with the BRS acronym : ) ?

@davidbee8178 5 лет назад

@@davidguberman4780 David, I got my cloths from Eshine in Canada but and they are thick but PROBABLY no thicker than YOUR THICKULOUS towels. Just about ANY PLUSH towel should do just fine. IF you have any doubts, you can always use 3 or four wash MITTS : ) The principle of the method has more to do with the fact that you don't RE-DIP your wash cloths or mitts into the wash bucket. IF your Thickulous cloths are the thickest possible, then it's all good. If you can remember NOT to rub put to PAT any really soiled areas, then you'll not damage your paint. After patting the really soiled area THEN go over the area again, letting the weight of the cloth do the washing. IF the surface is really heavily soiled, then you may need more than 3 or 4 cloths so and not to re-dimp then in your wash media which both dilutes AND soils it. Just also remember to wash your wheels with 4 separate black (if possible) wash cloths and clean them afterward separately in the washing machine! Happy detailing! Don't hesitate to write with any more Q's : )

@ShortCycle. 6 лет назад

Totally impressed with your ability to systematically breakdown the pros/cons of the products without any personal bias or aligence to a particular brand. It's food for thought as my go-to has been the Autoglym 5ltr trade for its VFM>cleaning ability... Might need to try Bilt Hamber. Although the Soft99 foam is strangely alluring!

@GMDetails 6 лет назад

Fantastic way to spend an hour with a coffee!!, I loved the way you split them all into their categories and tested to their capabilities. I actually predicted carchem 1900-1 winning as I recently done a product review of it a few months back in the summer and it’s been the best quality shampoo I’ve used in 5 yrs! It’s got everything, dilution, scent, lubricity, foam, cleaning power and I found it quick drying without water marks too. Very difficult to separate them , looking forward to the next test 👌

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

thanks graeme, kind of what you said is how I saw it. I couldnt really find fault with it and its the cheapest cost per wash. I had to almost keep saying that to myself though because there were so many good soaps that I would use in this line up. I wasnt sure if bath essence or BH should have won as well because I really like these 2. but ultimately the around twice the cost per wash of the car chem. thats what swung it this way for me.

@paulf1767 6 лет назад

I was pleased to see Autoglym in one of your videos again. I rate their products but I'm just an amateur at this, so its comforting that someone I trust to give reviews show some of their products and fortuitously they don't do too bad.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

the UHD is a great shampoo. but the problem is it was really impossible for lots of them to win this shootout just based on the fact if you use like the ones that are sub 10p a wash. they are really just as good (and that includes autoglyms own trade shampoo which is the second cheapest per wash in the test). but as a retail product is a cool one to use.

@paulf1767 6 лет назад

@LOUi DC5 FL pleased to read I'm not alone using Autoglym. Readily available, cost effective and works well. I agree with the SRP comment but it works well on my paintwork, marking the trim is a huge minus point though. Just used their ultraHD wax for the first time and seems to be holding up well, it also marks the trim, on the plus side it makes me work slower which helps achieve a good finish.

@marklacey1088 6 лет назад

paul frote HI Paul, no your not the only one I have been using UHD Wax, ever since Jon did the review on FDC. It's a great wax but just so user friendly. I waxed my wife's SLK last weekend and for a two door convertible there's a lot of paintwork 😀, I was able to cover nearly half the car and buff off with no problems, have also used on other cars with the same great results, Great depth of shine, smooth finish and yes reasonably durable. Great product

@alim9489 6 лет назад

Great video. Clearly lots of hard work behind the scenes gone into this video. I have used Bilt Hamber and I think it's probability the best overall. However I moved to Car Chem because of value as I started to put the shampoo in a foam cannon. I can put lots in the lance for cheap and the Bilt Hamber shampoo doesn't work well in a foam cannon. I think there are two lots of people. The usual chaps that wash their cars once a month at best. Then the nutters that spend 5 hrs a week to wash their car and put everything into foam cannons. For the the first lot, use Bilt Hamber, for the second bunch try Car Chem.

@youbencowell 6 лет назад

Bilt Hamber make a specific snow foam!

@alim9489 6 лет назад

Obviously. But you cant foam the car with BH shampoo for extra lubrication, then wash your car with a mitt unlike Car Chem shampoo with foams well

@44Eflores 6 лет назад

Sooo, the second lot should just use 1900:1 because it foams up?

@alim9489 5 лет назад

Soooo, use car chem if you want to use it in a foam cannon so you get more lubrication during the contact wash. It foams reasonably well in a foam cannon. BH doesnt foam from cannon. If you dont use the foam cannon to put the shampoo on your car, then use BH, its fantastic stuff

@alim9489 5 лет назад

However, you need more than the 1:1900 ratio to get the right amount of slickness

@jc7879 6 лет назад

Really impressive review Jon. I did not realise how concentrated Gyeon and Gtechniq's shampoo's were. I'm no pro detailer, but I do like the feeling of having plenty of product in stock. I think that's what put me off of buying them and the bilt hamber shampoo. Having said that I will change my thinking having watched the review. Once I get through my 5L tub of Auto Finesse Lather, which smells amazing and leaves a nice glossy finish; I will look to get either Bilt Hamber Auto Wash or Gyeon Essence. The other shampoo I use for when I am looking to decontaminate is Chemical Guys Clean Slate, which seems to work fairly well. Keep up the good work.

But after hearing you say not to worry about PH levels, I think I'll try Bilt Hampers purely on the cleaning power. I can get gloss and shine from finishing products.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

As always a pleasure to watch your vids Jon. I'm using the Gyeon bathe essence myself. I know it's not 5 liters but they do sell them in one litre bottels aswel and not just in 400ml ones. It also looks like they didn't provide you with one of their handpumps. Normally Gyeon delivers these even with 400ml bottles and are quite handy to use. One pump delivers exactly 2ml of product. These pumps aren't perfect either as the product can dry inside the tip of the nozzle and you'll need to pry out with a needle or paperclip first.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

yer I did all the price averages for the 400ml and 1litre size. just wish they offered like 4000ml or 5000 but a litre you could argue is a bit like having 4 litres of normal strenght soap.

Is that just to aspirate the solution to get it to foam or do you only use cold water.

Terrific video Jon, I'd love to see one on the pros and cons of over and under dosing. I'm and Adams user in the summer and a carchem user in the winter.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

yo dave, overdosing just for me means its much harder to rinse and even if it looks like you have rinsed properly much higher chance of soap stains and all the concentrated soapy water that gets into the wing mirrors and run off areas, when that rruns out later on its gonna be more soapy.. underdosing can just mean theres like less cleaning power, less suds less slippyness. Im not sure which is the lesser of two evils really.

I live the BH but it just doesn't soap at all although is very portent.

@jerzyjablonski1432 4 года назад

A bit late, but there is one small issue with this test. Soft99 does not belong there, as this shampoo is not supposed to be diluted in water. You pour it directly on sponge and use only one bucket to clean sponge and if needed you pour a bit more shampoo. Otherwise you lose all properties, including easy rinse and ability to rinse even dried shampoo :)

@xenomorphelv4265 2 года назад

even with a correct prewash, even by rincing off my glove after treating a single element (door, hood) is still get some new paint marks. my opinion is : as soon as you start to physically touch your paint and apply even a very light touch with your shampooed glove you create the condition for the smallest remaining part of dust to deteriorate your varnish. the safest way is to stick with high pressure washer with shampoo tank and respect the correct distance. the shiness result may not be as deep but the paint stay more preserved. just my two cents.

the AS shampoo is an example of decent value but where concentration is king. because you need to use 50ml per bucket of the AS stuff. which makes it about 10p a wash. the carchem hits like 2-3p a wash or 5p a wash if you up the dosage a bit. but still half the cost per wash.

@jay61790 5 лет назад

@@ForensicDetailing Cheers mate. I've just started detailing for a independent Jaguar specialist and everything is AS as it's trade prices and delivered. I need to convince them that there's better and cheaper products out there.

@ForensicDetailing 5 лет назад

I think your in good hands generally with AS stuff. a lot of guys in the trade use them. their prices are decent and the products Ive used have been effective. they cant or wont always be cheapest but the brand definetly offer really good value.

I've been using G Wash for a year on a car coated with CSL. I didn't know it was that highly concentrated! I use two capfuls for about 4 gallons of water. May need to try it out using less product and gauge the results again. I find it to clean well, and works flawlessly with their coatings. Foams decently, but sometimes I have to shoot some more water in my wash bucket to reactivate the suds. Yet again, I wish there was an importer for Bilt Hember and Koch Chemie. They seem to always perform and have unique characteristics. Fantastic video.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

G wash yer its actually a 1:1800 I notice they say you can use 2-4 capfulls. I think 1:1800 is like what 6-7 ml for 10 litres. Or half a capfull though. not sure. I would say with ten litres 2 caps should give you a decent amount of suds. I wouldnt go beyond 2 with 10 litres though.

Great channel. Always enjoy watching your videos. I usually, but not exclusively, use meguiars products. For the Average DIY detailer, I find their products are good quality & last quite a while. I bought a big bottle of their car wash, nxt wax & tyre gel & they have lasted me 2 years (just ran out) & you get good results from them.

@h2t26 5 лет назад

You are the best! This is probably the 10th video of your I've seen, subscribed after the 3rd one. i like how you test many different brands of a similar/same product and either the same of slimier conditions. Very few people on youtube bother to compare even two products together let alone what you are able to do. My only issue is that so many of your products are either only sold in European if they are sold he its a higher price, partly do to shipping, exchange rate, and limited availability. So not sure how to handle that since you may also face the same issues with American products. Anyway, keep up the good work.

@ForensicDetailing 5 лет назад

thanks you for the kind words, theres a lot of channels springing up doing similiar things.. you wont see many doing videos like this they cost about 10 times more to make than they recoup and do less views than a 2 minute video on one product if I put lots of foam in the background and say its amazing in the title. But I find them fun to do and hopefully they are interesting enough.. yes its a bit of a problem because lots of euro products are not viable priced in the UK and vice versa.

Hi John. I love your channel, it's great to see some science behind subjectivity. keep up the good work! I was wondering, as you're such a big fan of Carchem 1900:1 - have you tried their Ceramic Suds shampoo? ( Si02). I'm really interested to see what you think of it. Significantly more expensive than 1900:1 per wash but as you said, I also don't mind paying for a product that's worth it. Interesting to see the durability of the Si02 protection it offers too.

@stevenhaas9622 5 лет назад

I don't want anything to do with the super high concentrates. When I'm out cleaning my car the last thing I want to be doing is measuring out soap with a dropper pipette. Since I have a ceramic coating a couple of capfuls of Carpro Reset and boom I'm good to go. Decent price, foams like nobody's business, and very effective. Also you mention it a bit but the big upside to the Adams soaps is that even if they dry in the sun they still spray right off.

@SarcastSempervirens 4 года назад

Hi Jon! Have you had any tests or simply noticed from experience about the corrosive effects of these shampoos, just like you tested the snow foams? I know BH auto foam and their shampoo are anti-corrosive, but I'm wondering about the others? I have a full bottle of Koch Nano Magic and I'm wondering if maybe I should simply give it away and go with a BH cause I have to admit, some of those snow foams caused REALLY heavy corrosion on the test plates, so I'm not exactly nitpicking here, the effect is real and noticeable. Thanks again!

A lot of effort involved in this video, so thanks! I use Bouncer’s Slick Mick. It has a good smell (important for me for all the wrong reasons), it’s reasonably high concentration and foams extremely well. Only downside for me is it’s very expensive. It would have been interesting to see how it faired in this test. I will probably try CarChem now. Thanks, and a big thumbs up!

My black 335D will need a light cut/finishing polish soon but my Kestrel polisher has started to spin really slowly and I can’t figure out why... So until I can fix it/buy a DA... What finish would you recommend if I still want it hydrophobic, but not so hard that when I come to do the correction I have to machine off a light ceramic... I want to give that Tac Systems moonlight a go once I’ve prepped the paint, but want something in the meantime to give it some protection... Hybrid ceramic wax maybe? I’d be interested to know your thoughts.... Definitely going to be investing in some Car Chem/Bilt Hamber products based on your reviews. 👍🏼

@ForensicDetailing 5 лет назад

hey you will just get less junk (minerals etc) in the water so less water spots if it dries. In terms of better lubricity and like foaming or dilution. Im not sure your going to be able to measure that or tell the difference.

Great review! You've covered all the areas! Probably one of the best channels about detailing products! Keep it up! :) I have a question about Soft99 Smooth Egg shampoo... It is a product mainly for coated cars with hydrophobic effect (probably something similar to bath+).... Do you have any experience with this shampoo? Is it a product which you can use on a car that has fusso 12M wax without reducing the longevity of the fusso 12M wax? What shampoo would you recommend to use on cars with fusso 12M wax? Thank you for your answer!

@ForensicDetailing 5 лет назад

Hi there Ive not used smooth eggs sorry. I would say if your into fusso and soft 99 wash it with this soft 99 creamy shampoo you will like it I promise. Also get soft 99 speed and barrier, if seems to be able to sit on fusso (even though its a sealant in its own right) but it will layout more PTFE based protection and top up beading. Soft 99 luzory spray wax can be used as well to a similiar effect but it adds less sort of beading and water repellency.

@MrMadket 5 лет назад

Soft 99 speed and barrier isn't yet available at our local dealer so I've gone with fukupika advance strong type. Been looking forward to trying the fusso 12M + fukupika combination! The fusso is on the car for about 5 months now so I'm going to give it a little help from fukupika. :) Thx for the shampoo recommendation! I'm probably going to take your advice( because I'm sure that it will do a decent job). So far I've been using the meguaris ultimate wash and wax which, like the gold class, you have to put a decent amount to get best results. :)

Great video and i respect your findings and your winner, i have tried well over 20+ shampoos and the number 1 thing i look for is slickness (which you did not mention much in the video) which is why Carpro reset is my favourite as it is super slick and i use it at 20ml so pretty cost effective aswell and it foams well and not overally expensive to buy either, so i find reset the best all rounder and i have Gyeon essence also but will still use reset, based on how good it is to use and slickness.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

I honestly couldnt measure slickness jason, when I planned out the video ages ago it was one of the things I was gonna try and look at and rate them on. a couple of the companies that manufacture also say there is no like lab style test for it.. its a bit like a bar of soap, the more you lather it up and wet it up the more it slips out of your hand.
