Err did you not say the bottom of car is the dirtiest, yet you are shortening dwell time by starting rinsing from the bottom. I don't think it makes that much of a difference where you start rinsing.

Fusso dark is starting to fail on my hood after only 3 months. Claim says 12 months. Must be a bad joke. Did decon wash and came back just a little but still getting weak. Hood was polished clayed and prepped before. Weather has been very hot summer heat and maybe 3 inches of rain in 3 months. Washed weekly with ph neutral soap. I have a whole can left and it's going in the trash.

Hi Specky! I know I’m 4 years late to the party, but I just purchased the TW products you reviewed and am going to detail my car for the first time, ever 😬. My question is, can I use a buffer machine to buff off the ceramic spray or does it have to be done by hand? I didn’t see anything about that on the bottle. Also, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’ve learned sooo much by watching your videos! Take care!

Brand new power washer owner as of about 3 hours ago, so this may not be the smartest question lol but-.. wouldn’t it be potentially worth the effort to “figure out” the correct position of the adjustment screw (and locking down/gluing/marking or whatever) instead of doing a mixture every time? Then you would just put in 100% product and could have the correct end result without having to measure?! I don’t have the real world experience to know if this is feasible, but it will be my first experiment so wish me luck! Lol

@jamienevill1768Ай бұрын
My father has owned quite a few white cars over the years. Always difficult to keep clean anyway. A few years ago, when he got his latest one, I 'cleaned' it using just the pressure washer. Once dried, there was hardly any difference, so I always use a pre cleaner of one brand or another ( I'm not biased towards a specific one) now. Now for a tale. At a company I used to work at, the boss asked the works know all to wash his wife's rather dirty black car. Said know all used only the pressure washer from the maintainance department. When the boss came back, it was still filthy and covered in traffic film! Suffice to say, he wasn't pleased. I volunteered to do it, using the valeting materials I had in my car. Proper job and one satisfied boss, who suggested I should do it for a living, which I later did.

I've just been doing your flow rate check, and the bucket was getting close to overflowing with only a fraction of the water in the bottle used. So I measured what remained in the bottle and subtracted that from what I started with - and I had used 304ml. There were 34 litres of water in the bucket. That gives a flow rate of 113litres per litres of product, which seems inordinately high compared to figures in your test. The lance is a Stonebank eBay special. Has anyone else found such a high figure ? The pressure washer I'm using claims 150 bar.

That's a lot of Bilt Hamber, I always read that you didn't need to use much of it, so it was really economical. 1:10 would be a lot smaller amount of product, about 90ml of product compared to 300ml+, that would be about 1:2.
@SpeckyMcSporran2 ай бұрын
You have to think about how much the foam lance will dilute the mix. 10:1 in isn't 10:1 out which is why it's important to know your own lances introduction rate. I was basing my figures on the percentage that Built Hamber themselves stated is typical use.
