Well today was the day I finally got to test this product. Currently still under development it's described as a 'water borne contact corrosion inhibitor (migratory)'.
Diluted it down to 5% in a water sprayer bottle and lightly misted onto the drivers side discs. It seemed to land on the discs in bubbles however this was probably my sprayer. I then proceeded to clean my wheels using valet pro Bilberry.
I then rinsed my wheels using filtered water from a vessel. And here are the results which I think speak for themselves.
It's a very simple product and very economical with the
Dilution ratio.
And after a short drive you can guess which side was alot cleaner.
Would I like to see this product in production? Definitely. Yes you can drive on and off you're drive but it's a chore.
madness, this is the one thing that annoys most detailers surely? Also the rust throw up as soon as you drive off surely serves to soil your wheels quicker than if using this. Brilliant, another masterpiece from the guys at BH
Product is best used AFTER washing, it can be sprayed over the wheels and brakes plus it should be used over the entire under carriage after washing. During winter it will neutralize road salt and and stop rust forming. Even at 1-2 % in water this is effective. The inhibitors create a molecular shield that creep over and migrate to protect surfaces not even touched by the liquid. We think i'ts going to be a very useful post wash treatment - it can be applied by pump spray, trigger spray or power washer. :thumb:
Does seem like a good product.
At the moment I use an iron out on the discs while washing the car.
Once all done....blast with a pressure washer and discs are clear of rust and nor do the produce any when dry.
Save driving up and down the drive countless times.
I was watching obsessed garage a month or so ago and Matt was spraying something similar on his discs after washing. Was an American company and wished we had something similar, well now we have it.
Assuming you had your wheel arches treated with the likes of Dynax UC (if that's what's the best BH product for clear sealing arches), would you use this to 'top up' that protection? Like Wax and QD kind of effect?
It's a supplemental maintenance product that will find its way into anywhere that water will and protect those hidden surfaces, and brake vents, discs, fixings, suspension and more...
Roll on the release date. This will finish off the arsenal of products I use in my cleaning routine.
I currently use ACF50 on the underside of my car (not the discs) and it certainly keeps any rust n rot at bay during the winter but this sounds like it could be the total solution to underside protection.
No it's a mono-molecular layer, that will not harm braking performance. Ive seen vented discs ruined by corrosion as vents block - this should vastly improve this if used every wash. It will make a slight foam while applied that disappears to invisible soon. Then the inhibitors liberate and coat adjacent surfaces.
I love all BH products and find them to be some of the best at doing what it says on the tin/bottle [emoji106] this will definatly be another addition to my collection [emoji6]
Sounds like another great product from you guys at BH :thumb:
