Bilt Hamber Touch-LESS is an eco-friendly, sugar-based pre-wash designed to safely remove traffic film and road grime before you touch your car with a wash mitt. By lifting the heavy grit first, it significantly reduces the risk of inflicting swirl marks and wash scratches during the contact wash.
This latest version features a double-concentrated formula, delivering the same exceptional cleaning power while using half the product per wash.
Key Benefits
- Residue-Free Rinsing: Unlike traditional petrochemical cleaners, Touch-LESS rinses away completely free and easy. This makes your subsequent bucket wash smoother and ensures post-treatments or ceramic sealants can bond perfectly to the paintwork.
- Corrosion Protection: Formulated with advanced corrosion inhibitors to help shield your vehicle's metal components from rust.
- Surface Safe: Highly effective at a pH of ~10.5, yet free from harsh caustic soda, phosphates, solvents, or NTA.
- Synergistic System: It is chemically optimised to prime your paintwork for a simple, superior application of Bilt Hamber's Touch-On hydrophobic protection.
Application Methods
Touch-LESS is highly versatile and does not strictly require a pressure washer. It can be applied using:
- A standard Snow Foam Lance
- A Hand Pump Foamer (such as the IK Foamers range)
- A manual Trigger Spray Bottle
Understanding the Dilution (PIR)
Bilt Hamber calculates usage by PIR (Panel Impact Ratio), which is the percentage of product in the water as it hits the panel, not just what is in the bottle.
Note: Touch-LESS is highly economical. One diluted litre of product can last for up to 4 washes. Always apply to cool panels in the shade and never allow it to dry on the paint.
- 0.5% PIR: Ideal for regular maintenance washes on well-maintained or coated vehicles.
- 2.0% PIR: Maximum strength for heavily soiled vehicles or thick winter grime.
How to Dilute
- For Pump Sprayers & Triggers: The calculation is direct. Mix between 5ml (for 0.5%) and 20ml (for 2%) of Touch-LESS per 1 litre of water.
- For Power Washers: Because your machine introduces extra water into the stream, you will need to calibrate your lance's flow rate to achieve the exact PIR (details can be found in the user manual).
How to Use Bilt Hamber Touch-LESS
- Apply: Spray evenly over the vehicle, working panel by panel if necessary
- Dwell: Allow the product to soak and break down dirt for 1 to 5 minutes. Do not allow it to dry.
- Rinse: Power-wash off thoroughly with clean water
