Auto Foam Pre-Wash Snow-Foam Bilt Hamber 5 Liter

Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam Snow Foam Pre-Wash 5L – Biodegradable, Non-Caustic

Get the basics right first. 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 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. 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.

Clear, FOD-free paint before you touch it. Auto-Foam is the result of extensive in-house research and development. It reduces 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.

Functional foam, not just suds. 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%, it will panel-dwell for typically five minutes. It is formulated specifically to offer maximum wetting and it rinses easily too. It is not designed as a superficial high foam product, but as a functional material.

Tough on grime, harmless to paint. 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. Its hard-working surfactants attack and penetrate the hardest of road dirt and grime, without the need for manual intervention.

How it works. During the panel-dwell period, Auto-Foam's bubbles systematically burst and move, encouraging the soaking and cleansing agents to start working. The effects of road grime are neutralised by being bonded within the blend of surfactants, 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.

We recommend Bilt Hamber Auto-Wash Shampoo for the second step, and Touch-Less Snow Foam as an alternative pre-wash for lighter soiling. Need more? Auto-Foam is also available in a 25 litre container.

How to Use

1. Work on a cool surface. Use Auto-Foam on cool panels only.
2. Dilute. Dilute as required to obtain a PIR (Panel Impact Ratio) of between 1:100 and 5:100 (typically 4%) in your pressure washer foam lance.
3. Apply and dwell. Foam the vehicle and allow to panel-dwell for typically five minutes.
4. Rinse. Wash off in a conventional manner, ready for your contact wash.

Pro tip: for excessively soiled surfaces, simply increase the PIR and/or number of applications. The 63mm Hand Pump (10ml dose) fits the 5 litre Auto-Foam for quick, accurate dosing of dilute solutions.
