Product description
Bilt Hamber Touch-Less is the new double-concentrate version of the all-loved pre-clean snow foam, which can be applied via pressure washer or with a trigger spray. This eco-friendly, biodegradable sugar-based product provides excellent cleaning power whilst being kind to the environment!
Now double concentrate, Touch-Less improves the performance and decreases its pH – more concentrate, less to use! Unlike other petrochemical-based cleaners, Touch-Less is "free-and-easy rinsing" which eases the effort of following bucket washes and helping finishing stage products to bond easier.
Touch-Less is designed to allow for superior and simple application of Bilt Hamber's paint protection product Touch-On.
Touch-Less also contains corrosion inhibitors. pH ~12, contains no phosphates, solvents, NTA, or caustic soda.
How To Use
TOUCH-LESS may be applied with trigger spray, pump spray, pressure washer, or snow foam lance. The minimum recommended dilution rate should be 0.5% PIR (Panel Impact Ratio) and up to 2% for very dirty vehicles. Where application is through trigger spray or pump spray, the dilution calculation is easy to achieve, however, for application with pressure equipment it is essential to determine the amount of water being delivered to the equipment reservoir.
Fill the detergent bottle or reservoir (on machine or lance) up to capacity with plain water. Turn detergent feed to full. Take a large bucket or container and discharge the lance into this, watching the detergent bottle until empty. Once empty, stop.
The following calculations will achieve 2% dilution; Measure the total amount collected and multiply this number by 0.02 (Total can be measured in either volume with a measuring jug or by weight) this is the amount of TOUCH-LESS to use.
Add the calculated amount from STEP TWO to the pressure-washer reservoir and top up to full with cold water and shake in for a few moments.
Apply touchless to entire vehicle or panel by panel. Allow to soak for 1-5 minutes (but never allow to dry). Power-wash or rinse off.
It is not necessary to use all diluted touch-less in one wash. One litre of diluted product should last 4-5 washes. Apply to cool panels in shaded conditions. Do not allow this product to dry in use. Keep the bottle neck and lid clean.
Q: What is the touch-less ratio for Bilt Hamber?
A: Bilt Hamber recommends dilution via PIR, see description how to calculate. Typically this varies from 0.5% - 2% depending on how dirty your vehicle is. Practically, it depends on your foam cannon and pressure washer, but a rough guage is typically 1:5 to 1:20.
Q: Is Bilt Hamber Touch-Less pH neutral?
A: No, Bilt-Hamber Touchless is not pH neutral. It has a slightly alkaline pH of around 12. This helps efficiently clean tough grime, but it may not be as gentle as pH-neutral cleaners on delicate surfaces.
Q: Is Bilt Hamber Touch-Less safe on coatings?
A: Yes, Bilt-Hamber Touch-less is safe to use on ceramic coatings, paint protection films (PPF), waxes, and sealants. Its formulation is designed to clean effectively while maintaining the integrity of these protective layers.
Q: What is the difference between Bilt Hamber Touchless and Autofoam?
A: Touch-Less is great for regular cleaning, it has a lower pH and is more concentrated than Autofoam. It also can be easily rinsed off. Auto-Foam is better at tackling heavy dirt and grime, being thicker and higher in alkaline. It depends on your needs. For an in depth comparison, please read our blog.
Q: What are other Bilt Hamber Products that are good?
A: In my view, the entire Bilt Hamber range is excellent value and have great cleaning properties. They are a chemical orientated British brand that oozes quality and value without any fancy labelling or gimmicks. You can learn more about their other products here.
