Bilt Hamber stuff - recommended?

Looking at this set of detailing products, usually use Meguiars stuff. Wondered if I should change brand?
Pricey, but I guess it'll last a fair while.

Any thoughts.

Thanks.

Only ever tried their snowfoam and wasn't really impressed with it despite reading a lot of good reviews, didn't foam up that thick or dwell for very long, might just be my lance... Valet Pro PH Neutral snowfoam though absolutely amazing! Really thick foam and dwells forever, i actually rinse the drive down after as it looks like its been snowing on just my drive for several hours after lol

I think their clay bars are good though, don't think you can go wrong with any brand of that to be honest though, their all the same imo.

Its not meant to foam up thick and dwell for long. To this day it's still the best snow foam I have used purely for its cleaning abilities. Used neat. It's foams up thinly and dwells for a few minster before stripping the dirt. KArcher down and it's pretty much squeaky clean from the sealant I use.
It's so good.

I have used pretty much all of the Bilt Hamber range and it's excellent however I have moved into a ceramic sealant for longevity and cleaning and keeping 2 vehicles clean everywhere is a chore.
Never looked back.

Really? I guess I wrongly assumed all snowfoam was supposed to act like that but I guess i was wrong, it didn't even dwell for more than a few minutes. However i agree it did a great job of actually cleaning, was almost like washing an already clean car after the snowfoam.

@rattymcclelland - which brand do you use/recommend.

A quick Google and like the sound of ceramic sealant.

I used Gtechniq Crystal serum light followed by exo v3 on the van and about to use it on the car. Lasts for 3-5years.
