    I feel like this stuff from Screwfix for £8.99 is significantly better value if you have one nearby. Will clean absolutely anything and can be diluted down as desired.

    Jus checked and this is pH 14 if you put this on your bodywork it will strip all your wax or sealant protection

    You don’t find many professional detailers in trade garages and Bilt Hamber is probably the most cost effective detailing brand available all of their products are very cheap compared to similar products, they offer some of the best value available

    I’ll continue to spend very little on quality products that are proven to work thanks, plenty evidence out there how good the products are try educating yourself on the fact rather than trying to belittle people that use them and know what they are and how to use them

    Yep.

    This BH is quality stuff
    I have used Surfex to degrease stuff from cars also garden machinery, oil leaks from cars parked driveways and even patios
    Excellent degreasing properties and can be watered down so goes a long way

    Have used on alloys with no issues but did water it down and tested on small area before cleaning alloys but BH also do alloy wheel cleaner

    I like the Bilt Hamber products and have used for years but others will always disagree and use there own choice of brandes products

    Heat to Op
    Stay Safe

    At 20 to 1 probably even 10 to 1 your wax is safe. I use 10 to 1 for lower panels before snow foaming.

    You should be fine I’m sure. Careful of the eyes though. TBH Lynx shower gel would probably do a better job than the GP2000 Horseboxguy is suggesting.

    Based on the little graphic in the corner of the hand getting burnt into....without going back up to the top the Bilt Hamber stuff is a little more friendly to the environment. Im not in any way questioning your working credentials but isnt that one of the points of the Bilt Hamber product?. I totally agree if you want to clean your bike/car/whatever then using the Bilt would be a bit (well, alot friendlier) to the environment instead of using trade [more acidic] products, or am i wrong there?

    Heat!! Been after this on some sort of offer for a while now so grabbed a couple! Thanks OP!

    Used this on my lance for my old Punto HGT no issues with the paint and by far does a better job on wheels and actual decreasing. No it doesn't foam as fancy as many others I've tried (latest being polar blast) but does the job 3x better imo. Water based so also used on grimy tiles, our patio windows oven and bbq 😁

I've seen guides about using Surfex HD on carpets and they recommend 1:20 or 1:10 if really dirty. It is quite a forgiving product, but it's best to do a spot test first if possible.

    It’s not acidic, it’s an irritant due to how strong it is. It’s basically like Autosmart G101.

    But as Ive said above, they do proper TFR (a few of them), and the best stuff I use is Enviroclean, which is non caustic and PH neutral. But the smallest it comes in is a 25L (because it’s trade, not retail) which works out at £14.69 per 5L delivered. (edited)
