powermaxed tfr vs snow foam

Featured Replies

I use that too, but agree that a stronger product without compromising the LSP is whats required..This seems/appears to fit the bill

Obviously dilution rates are key to achieving that

If doing a full car polish...thats not important..to get the dilution rates right as it will aid in LSP removal to a small extent

Im looking forward to trying it out on my car initially and then on Clients'

Good luck & be careful with it being such a high pH, enjoy.

 

Additional information why may help.

I can imagine that reading is taking from the concentrated version without being diluted.

I will fire Wayne an email and ask him.

I've not had any issues with all the cars I've used it on. like I've said earlier usually 1:10 but have used up to 1:30 with a fairly clean car. The ready to use version is 1:50 and I believe still effective.

Slightly worrying when you look at it like that!

I'll look forward to your findings!

Have a look at the DW thread of it

HERE

Those first pictures certainly look good!

Had a read. Seems a good product. Be interested to see what you think Chris. If it's as good as it looks (I have not tried it) I may place an order for the 5L concentrate as it's quite a reasonable price.

10 litres ordered yesterday
Arrived today...Now thats what I call impressive!!
Many thanks Wayne
Cant wait to use it...when all this heavy snow melts!!

Good service there, keep us informed on how good it is?

Well...Its stopped snowing and after I had cleared the snow...the sun came out

Car totally filthy from a trip over to Malton yesterday

Used my Hoseselock Pressure sprayer...Diluted at around 12:1 approximately....maybe a little weaker

Sprayed the whole car

Left it to dwell for 5 minutes, then pressure washed off

Very impressed..No dirt left and LSP fully intact

Chris, would you see this as being additional to snow foam or instead of?

Many thanks.

Mike.

Probably a replacement in Summer
An addition in winter

Or the other way round

Not sure yet

Sounds quite promising Chris, I'd never heard of it till yesterday. Did you leave the car like that or did you add a QD afterwards?

How filthy is 'ChrisRS' filthy?! When did you last wash it? Mine goes for about 750 miles between washes. Would be great if it was a simple TFR most washes. Id get away with a weekly wash then!!

No..I left it as it started snowing very heavily again

I last washed it on Tuesday

Then drove over to my Parents' through heavy rain and farm tracks...and back through snow and salt on Wednesday

It was filthy!!

I was very suprised at how good this stuff is TBH

My next experiment is to add some ( a very small amount) to my Snow Foam mix and see how that fairs

Interested to see how you get on. Ta.

Had a 20 mile drive to a Power Maxed 'stockist' only to find a stock of about 4 spray can products! FAIL! Ordered 5l online to try out. Should have done that in the first place!

Will try and post some before and after pictures when I've used it. Be interesting to see if it's just as effective on a car LSP'd by a novice!

Make sure you go no less than around 10:1

If there's any of you who live local to each other if one of you registers for their emails like Chris did you will get 25% off the 1st order, which makes the 25L size you could split between you less than £36 for 25L. Or just £7.20 per 5L delivered. Bargain.....

I like the idea of adding a little to some snowfoam Chris. I look forward to hearing your views on the results.

I emailed Wayne and got a very quick reply. He said he's sold 100's of the 5L size so far with no problems so looks like the way to go to me, dispite my initial reservations after using other TFR. He uses it at around 15:1 and says anything more powerful than 9:1 will strip the lsp, and neat can be used as part of paint prep. He said the ph ranges fron 6 to 14, 6 being 50:1 (the RTU version)

Forgive me for I have weakened....not saying how much I ordered though..... :-)

You can all blame me!! :giggle:
