New Bilt-Hamber Additions Now Available At Ultimate Finish

There is always a rumble of excitement here at UF HQ when we get wind of new products from the well-respected Bilt-Hamber. The Essex based brand produces products using rigorous testing to ensure their efficacy, with new developments always being at the sharp end of innovation.

The latest additions to the range come courtesy of ‘Touch-Less‘ and ‘Touch-On‘ and they are no exception to the Bilt-Hamber rule. The first product in question is Touch-Less, and, it is fair to say this new addition has raised a few eyebrows in so-called ‘detailing circles’!

New Bilt-Hamber: Touch-Less

The main reason for that is where it sits in the range in terms of its functionality. Seasoned Bilt-Hamber enthusiasts will be well aware of the firmly established pre-wash cleaner that is Auto-Foam – but what separates the old from the new and is Touch-Less the replacement for Auto Foam?

The answer to that is, no! You needn’t worry about Auto-Foam disappearing any time soon. Although there are similarities in the products, their functionalities and cleaning properties are certainly different. Touch-Less doesn’t produce the same dwell time or thickness of foam that Auto Foam does, instead, the thinner, sugar-based solution will slide off surfaces a little quicker. This doesn’t mean it isn’t cleaning though. Blasting the product away with your pressure washer will reveal all the dirt it has safely lifted away.

Bilt-Hamber themselves have even said if you are asking which is the better cleaner, the answer will largely depend on the type of traffic film that is being treated. Seeing is believing on this one, so take a look at this simple test the boffins at Bilt-Hamber put together to see exactly how the two compares on a stubborn traffic film covered works van, here.

New Bilt-Hamber: Touch-On

The second part of the new Bilt-Hamber experience comes courtesy of Touch-On. This is a paint-protection product designed for the wash stage, containing a ceramic formula, it can be applied either via the foam lance on your pressure washer or using a simple bucket wash. The Touch-On package consists of 10 sachets, with a recommended usage of once per month, maximum. It’s been a while since we can remember seeing a product come in this form and we rather like it.

The simplicity of tearing open a sachet and adding to your desired application tool, be it bucket or foam lance, means there is no confusion with regards to depositing the correct quantity of product. This means that you’ve never got the added risk of overusing the product or running out quicker than you should.

The aim of Touch-On is to be used in the wash stage after the application of Touch-Less. With surfaces suitably prepared, Touch-On is mixed with water similarly to a shampoo and applied. Touch-On is not a particularly foamy product (this kind of goes hand in hand with anything ceramic based), however it will have your noodle wash mitt gliding over the surface very easily indeed. Before you know it, once you’ve moved on to your drying stage, the ease at which you can drape a high-quality towel around the car is clear to see.

Touch-Less £19.95

Touch-Less is the latest eco-friendly pressure-washer, pre-clean, snow foam from Bilt-Hamber which can be applied by pump spray or trigger. Applied at typically a 4% PIR the bio-degradable sugar-based product provides exceptional levels of cleaning for all automotive exterior paintwork. Unlike other petrochemical-based cleaners Touch-Less delivers free and easy rinsing, reducing the effort required of subsequent bucket washes and helping post-treatments to bond more effectively. Touch-Less also contains corrosion inhibitors, is pH ~12, and contains no phosphates, solvents, NTA, or caustic soda.
