This is one of our favorites, if you are only going to try one Bilt Hamber product to start we would highly suggest Auto-Foam.
To get the most out of Bilt Hambers foaming soaps they suggest calculating the panel impact ratio for your exact pressure washer and foam cannon. Please see the bottom of this listing for the simple steps to do this.
Auto-Foam has a PH of roughly 13
Most swirls and paint imperfections have to be addressed later on in the process because of poor detailing preparation and the effects of Foreign Object Damage unfortunately no matter how careful we are, many times this is caused by our own wash process…simply put anytime you touch your paint you risk inducing swirls or scratches.
- Auto-Foam is a new generation of premium quality, foaming water-based pre wash treatment.
- Designed to soak and saturate soiled vehicle paintwork prior to the application of vehicle shampoo and protection.
- It can be used in a foam gun or foam cannon.
- After application Auto-Foam should be allowed to dwell on the entire vehicle for 5 minutes.
- Auto-Foam’s bubbles will systematically burst and move, encouraging our soaking and cleansing agents to start working.
- The effects of road grime are neutralized by them, by being bonded within our blend of surfactants, and then lifted from painted surfaces and physically removed, minimizing harm caused by swirling and marking during subsequent detailing.
- When auto-foam's work has been done, it may be washed off in a conventional manner, leaving a well presented automotive surface ready for further treatments.
While tough on road grime, Auto-Foam is safe for all previously applied protective coatings, waxes and sealants. It has been tested to clean a surface protected with Bilt Hamber double speed wax up to 60 times without any stripping effect on the wax.
There is absolutely no point in using expensive waxes and sealants striving to achieve a perfect finish if you don’t get the basics right at the outset. Most swirls and paint imperfections have to be addressed later on in the process because of poor detailing preparation and the effects of Foreign Object Damage (FOD) on paint (such as 'own goal' damage from grit and grime) having to be removed. However careful we all might strive to be, sometimes we make mistakes and damage happens. So it makes sense to be as methodical and as careful as we can be, from the very first stages of the cleaning process, not just at the end.
auto-foam is the result of extensive in-house research and development. auto-foam will reduce even further the possibility of damage to paintwork by presenting you with beautifully clear FOD free paint, ready for subsequent detailing.
auto-foam is a new generation premium quality, foaming water-based pre wash treatment, designed to soak and saturate soiled vehicle paintwork prior to the application of vehicle shampoo and paint food. auto-foam is gentle too and is for use with all pressure washer foam lances. Applied at a typical PIR (Panel Impact Ratio) of 4%, auto-foam will panel dwell for typically 5 minutes. auto-foam is formulated specifically to offer maximum wetting, it rinses easily too. It is not designed as a superficial high foam product but as a functional material.
auto-foam is made with biodegradable compounds, is extraordinarily tough on soil and grime, yet harmless to paint. The non-caustic formulation ensures that even regular use will not attack paint binders. Our hard working surfactants will attack and penetrate the hardest of road dirt and grime, without the need for manual intervention.
During the panel dwell period, auto-foam’s bubbles will systematically burst and move, encouraging our soaking and cleansing agents to start working. The effects of road grime are neutralised by them, by being bonded within our blend of surfactants, and then lifted from painted surfaces and physically removed, minimising harm caused by swirling and marking during subsequent detailing.
When auto-foam's work has been done, it may be washed off in a conventional manner, leaving a well presented automotive surface ready for further treatments.
For excessively soiled surfaces, simply increase PIR and/or number of applications.
How To Use
Use on a cool surface.
Dilute as required to obtain a PIR (panel impact ratio) of between 1:100 and 5:100.
How To Calculate Panel Impact Ratio
Here are the steps from Bilt Hamber to properly calculate PIR, most of our customers will use a foam cannon rather than the detergent bottle on their pressure washer. You can follow the same steps by filling your foam cannon bottle with 1 liter of water.
