Bilt Hamber is a really impressive cleaner, I posted some before and after pictures on this thread :Sort of.........
I have not personally used these two products but have seen them remove a heavy build up of traffic film without agitation.
Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam

Bilt Hamber Touch-Less

But.................both of these products are highly alkaline, Touch-Less measures a pH of 12 and Auto-Foam even higher at a pH of 13. Those pH levels are the reason why they work without agitation, but also strip your wax and most likely take a swing at a ceramic coating. Drive through touch-less car washes use these sort of chemicals also. I would also be wary of sustained use of such high pH chemicals and their affect on rubber trims.

I’ve used for for a few years now on a ten year old daily that sits outside. My partners parents have the exact same ten year old daily that sits outside a mile away so it sees exactly the same environmental conditions. Theirs has a crap wash / maintenance schedule, mine has a reasonable one. My car looks in a completely different league to theirs including the outer plastics and trim (which I don’t treat, I just regularly wash / clean).
I think I must be good at giving foam a very good rinse off though (and I never let it dry) which would be very important with a strong product. There was a thread on here with people morning about foam residue left in gaps on the car after rinsing. I’ve never had that problem, if there’s foam left on the car after rinsing then surely it’s not been rinsed properly … ?
The Bilt Hamber did very visibly diminish turtle wax hybrid ceramic after about eight weeks and I have switched foams on the mustang for this reason (to Autoglym).
I do have some more BH coming for Christmas though so I can pick and choose which to use - horses for courses. BH for heavy duty soiling on the daily’s and Autoglym for the stang which only ever sees light soiling.
