JLs Detailing: Bilt Hamber Auto Balm
Hey guys I did another detail and used the BH Auto Balm again. This is one of my regulars and it was time to do the winter full detail for him. He takes very good care of the truck since I did it the first time and I'm the only one he will let touch it or his other 2 vehicles. Anyway didn't need to do a full show and shine so I thought just some exterior before and after shots to show you what BH Auto Balm can do.

Now after getting some more advice from Ben @ Rubbish Boys on the application this went much easier than the last time. Word to the wise this is really a wipe on wipe off product. After applying to about a 2x2 section or half a panel I would wait no longer than 10 seconds and wipe it off. My application went much better this time too as I used a lot less product and put it on thin over the entire truck. I love how when you buff it off it just melts into the paint and there is absolutely NO RESIDUE or dust left behind. Only thing left behind is a deep rich shine. It has a little different look than most sealants and has more of a nuba look to me. I really like this product and glad Ben carries it.

Again the smell is straight up chemical so don't open it expecting a lot of fruity smells. Smell really doesn't affect me much so it a non issue with me but I wanted to mention it. I did a full detail on this truck 6 months ago and I did my DG 501/DG 601/DG 105 combo on it. You can see some of the beading that was still left after 6 months which I was quite impressed with.

I'm going to be anxious to see the durability of BH Auto Balm compared to the DG combo. I did my usual full detail and used the usual suspects for products. I did continue to use my favorite clay the Bilt Hamber (used the soft for this one). If you want to know anything specific that I used just ask and I'll post it up, otherwise here are the before and after pics:

I am really falling in love with this product much like I do every product that Ben carries and tells me to try out!
