Bilt Hamber Touchless Dilution Guide

Bilt Hamber recommends using their Panel Impact Ratio (PIR) system to work out the exact amount of TOUCH-LESS required to get the best results. This is based around percentages: 0.5% for maintenance, up to 2% for very dirty vehicles.

The aim is to work out the real-world flow rate of your pressure washer.

You only need to do this process once..

Take note of how much water goes through your specific pressure washer and the corresponding dilution ratio/amount of product you need to measure out.

For snow foam lances:

  1. Fill the reservoir up to capacity with plain water.
  2. Turn the dilution knob to maximum (‘thickest’ foam).
  3. Discharge the lance into a bucket, watching the reservoir until empty.
  4. When the reservoir is empty, stop.
  5. Now you’ll need a measuring jug.
  6. For 2% dilution (very dirty vehicles), measure the amount of water in your bucket and multiply this number by 0.02. For example, if the total amount of water used is 10000ml (10L), you would need 200ml of TOUCH-LESS.
  7. For maintenance washes, multiply the total amount of water used by 0.005. 10000ml takes you to 50ml of TOUCH-LESS.
  8. Re-fill the reservoir with water and the correct amount of TOUCH-LESS. Shake for a few moments and you’re ready to go.
  9. You can of course experiment with dilution ratios and the effect TOUCH-LESS has on your vehicle. 

For trigger and pump sprayers:

Fusso F7 Liquid Wax Review :

Soft 99 Logo

With winter fast approaching it is now a good idea to give your motorcycles and cars a thorough winter clean.

  • Why you may ask?
  • To protect your paintwork from the harshness of winter. The increased road grime, the harsh temperature variations and the dreaded road salt that will eat and destroy everything that it can. (If you are an all year biker then In relation to road salt this is even more important for you and you really need to look at anti-corrosion protection for your machine. My personal recommendation is ACF-50, but that process will be covered in another post.). Now is the time to get ready for the attack of winter.
  • What should I do?
  • Deep clean and protect. Take the time now to do a little hard work to make your maintenance throughout the winter that little bit easier.
Fusso F7

This is not meant to be a detailed post on how to wash your car, so if you have any questions please feel free to comment below this post but here is what I recommend to get yourself winter ready – the final step uses Fusso F7 – and the review you came here for.

One of the best pieces of advice I can give is do nothing in direct sunlight or when the paint is hot.

  1. Snowfoam – to remove any obvious dirt and grime and soften what remains on the paint.
  2. Citrus Spray – to remove or soften any bugs and other road grim.
  3. Thoroughly rinse, if you notice a large amount of grime being removed a second dousing of snow foam would do no harm.
  4. Wheels and tyres can be addressed as the snow foam dwells.
  5. Wash using a wash mitt – using the two bucket method, one bucket contains your suds of choice, the other is for washing and rinsing your mitt. Do one panel at a time and rinse your mat thoroughly between each panel.
  6. Decontaminate – what you need to do here will vary by car, but you may benefit from clay, tar removal etc.
  7. Rinse thorouhly.
  8. Dry. A car dryer is ideal – and screw fix sell a vacuum cleaner that also blows for about £35. It is a bargain and an absolute must if you plan on doing similar with your motorcycle.
  9. At this point I decided to polish the car using Autoglym Super Resin Polish. I didn’t need to clay, or use a tar / spot removal product and Autoglym SRP is now often overlooked for some of the more influencer heavy brands, but don’t underestimate this product. It is an absolute essential for any garage shelf!
  10. That was me ready to try Fusso F7.

Coming Soon – The Ultimate Car Clean

by

So I love cleaning my car, and I always do a thorough Spring Clean ever year, actually a couple of times a year.  This year, as I now have a garage I have decided to do an epic clean.  I reckon it will take four separate sittings, but unlike those crazy detailing sessions you see I prove myself in the fact that anyone who has the time can do one of my ‘Spring Cleans.’  So when I have done it I will post up the full process here along with the products used so you can all have a go yourself!

This one probably won’t be completed for a week or two though!
