As always the way you go about your reviews is nothing short of superb, the time,detail and pure energy you put into these reviews is unsurpassed by any other channel.....your channel is my first point of call when purchasing new products John,keep em coming 👍👍👍👍

Another fantastic review , 50 mins just flys by . Thanks for all your time and effort you put into produce your channel .

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!

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 😀

Another fantastic review Jon. There's a lot of other detailing channels could learn an awful lot from watching your channel mate. My go to shampoo is bilt gambler but going to give a couple of others a go after watching these reviews, thank you.

Great video.The lengths you go to for these tests is highly impressive. Looking sharp too Jon! 👍

Great video John, thanks. I’ve been using G Wash recently, purely because I’ve just had the car coated with a Gtechniq ceramic. I’m impressed with the quality of the shampoo though. I’m new to all this and have been using cheapo stuff from Halfords up to now. I’ve got to say that you can tell the difference! The combination of a good shampoo, a decent mitt and the coating, everything just glides. You feel like you’re not risking damage to the paint - well I hope so anyway.

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.

Once again a great video. Honest and to the point. I've been using Auto Finesse Lather as I was told it was PH neutral and wouldn't strip the glazes or waxes I use. 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.

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

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.

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! : )

@@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!

Nice to see BH Auto Wash rated highly. Brilliant stuff. Gyeon Bathe Essence I haven’t tried but generally love their stuff. The Carchem is completely unknown to me but must be great stuff considering how good many of these other shampoos are.

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.

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!

Another great vid, thanks. I’m learning so much from someone who actually uses the products. In the vid you use the pressure wash to fill the bucket. Is that just to aspirate the solution to get it to foam or do you only use cold water. I use warm water as in my mind it helps get the concentrate to mix and helps keep your hands warm, do you use warm water? Loving Bilt Hamber products but never heard of them till I started watching your vids. Once again thanks for your efforts. 👍

Just got Carpro Reset. Really loving it! You can also put a little bit of it in your foam cannon instead of using foam shampoo

Thks Jon for your time helping many guys around the globe..

I really like Meguiar’s Shampoo Plus, around £30 for 1 U.S. gallon (3.78 litres) 75ml in a 20 litre bucket. High lubricity, a ton of suds, gleaming shine when finished and a nice scent too.

Impressive how you juggled all of these - brilliant stuff thanks

I've been using BH AutoWash for a little while now, i've been putting a little dollop of Auto Finesse Lather Summer Fruits in to get a nice scent from it, doesn't cause any residue issues and gives a nice stable lather. I do quite like the thin watery nature of it too, but then i have a ready supply of syringes to measure them out with.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Man, I had so many questions and your videos made my dreams come true ! Hats down, really... Just one aspect is missing: which products are more or less eco friendly ? That's an interesting question, with any type of product, I must say it will guide my final choice... Cheers from the Caribbean !

Bilt hamber does biodegradable products.

When I first started detailing, duragloss 901 was the in thing. Not sure the UK even has a distributor now 😥 Zaino, chemical guys citrus wash and gloss were two others I used regularly. On my second 5 litres of car chem, can't beat it for value.

Great video mate, i will have to get you some ODK products to test

Extremely helpful thanks!

I love the Sonax shine soap. Very good foam and wash power

Brilliant review and very thorough Jon. Not arguing with your findings either, Carchem is epic stuff and I love the Adams shampoo for hot sunny days exclusively

@@ForensicDetailing Think you had it all under control Jon! 👍 you know I am only a message away of you want to discuss anything though bud!

For part 2, which I am sure is coming, you should really try the following: Dr. Wach A1 Speed Shampoo, Liquid Elements Pearl Rain (available with different scents), Shiny Garage Sleek Premium, Dodo Juice Born to be Mild, Dodo Juice Sour Power, Chemical Guys Wonder Wash, Auto Finesse Lather, Surf City Garage Barrier Reef and/or Pacific Blue, as well as look into the Labocosmetica range. I am saying this because I have used most of the above mentioned and I am pretty sure that you will like some of those, based on your ranking and review in this video.

12:00 "Hey pal, here is ANOTHER package of car wash crap for you" Jon: "YIPPIE!!!!!" :)

Is the Bilt Hamber a strip wash or can it be used as a maintenance wash without reapplying sealant, wax, etc?

Thanks for your video. What do you think about Meguiars wash and wax? I just bougth It.

Chemical guys for foaming and Gyeon essense for wash. Budget minded and great products

Always a massive fan of purple velvet from autobrite but awesome vid showing a wide range 👍

Is the 1900:1 dilution real ? Can't get Carchem 😰

Great review mate, love the effort you put in, and the fact that you give an opinion unlike lots of useless KZreadrs who chat a load of rubbish and then say it’s “all down to personal preference”. I clicked the URL... so 1 litre is £19 and i get 4 litres more for another £3?

cheers mate yer go for the 5 litre for sure. that 5 litre price is just ridiculous. its not the normal price but CC discount it quite a lot and when its 21 quid its just ridiculously priced (works out like 3p a wash or something)

Ok so how do we get the car chem here in USA?

Best Guy At Detailing World,Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with sincerely

Is this still accurate, or is there an updated version that I've not noticed??
