I use Active Foam for every wash on my vehicles as it makes the physical wash process easier and reduces the likelihood for marring. Not really concerned about it diminishing coatings because its so easy nowadays to regularly apply protection, especially with "spray and rinse" ceramics.
Not understanding why everyone is commenting “insert brand here” can also do it. Yes many brands have comparable products. They’re only showing brands they carry. That’s why you don’t see CarPro, Gyeon or Labo or any other brand on the table.
This was so good I had to watch twice and I took notes with pen and pad in hand fr quick referencing into categories 👀👍. Lev taking us to school 👌 on soaps and surfactant cleaners👀
Any good ceramic coating should easily stand up to Active foam being used regularly. It is only a 9.5ph. Which is the same as Frostbite. P&S says it’s perfectly fine to use it on weekly washes. Half the time a bug remover is needed too weekly (at least it is for me) and that is usually way higher PH. Superfoam however is much stronger. That one I would reserve to use less often.
As Jay said, active foam is fine, if you have close to neutral tap water, the product will be very close to neutral once diluted 100:1. I would much rather use a stronger foam which will very slightly speed up the degradation of coatings rather than not use a strong foam and grind dirt into my paint all while preserving an easily replaced coating. Preserving your coating or preserving your clear coat... that's the main question. Also the sun is probably going to more aggressive on your coating than a heavily diluted alkaline snow foam, especially a mild one like AF.
No matter what KC says…RS is a super strip wash! Probably the strongest product on the market. I predict that they will rebrand it. I would only use it before polishing.
Levi you like several other Detailers I truly respect because you have no Ego when it comes to a through and honest explanation on how to’s and the why products work.👌. All I can say is you represent the Detailing Industry with honor. I salute your contributions 🫡 I’m not just blowing smoke; I appreciate you👀👌🫡
I've never used soap on any car, I used a few buckets of warm water to wash, rinse and use a leaf blower to clear most of the water, then microfiber towels to finish drying. I use Beadmaker to finish.
@@muskcoder6367 "washing" a car without soap is like showering without using soap, you're not actually cleaning it, you're just rinsing it. You may not be able to see it, but your paint is definitely suffering lol
I don’t see Frostbite in your mix of different car wash soaps ! Where would you place that one on the PH scale and when is it best to use it in a foam cannon ? Please advise.
Does anyone know of any fragrance free rinseless washes /no rinse washes? I would *love* to find one. Have looked high and low, and reached out to brands... no luck so far.
No hate, but are you serious when you say that AF should be used every 4 months? Lets imagine we have a protected car with a wax /sealant and we live in a harsh winter , use Vb, SF or AF make 300 miles and our car look like crap. Then what...we use GSF , just because yesterday we had use AF? Cmon you can't be serius with that. Other , Kcx are great products , but real life and how to use them as best is way diffetent than paper stories. Cheers!
