No problem, check out Costco, I picked up a Karcher K5 car & home package a few months ago @£199, it was a cracking deal & a very good machine

I have a similar issue to the OP but with a VAX pressure washer. I bought a foam lance from pressurewasherpartsuk on Amazon for about £25 as VAX didn't sell their own version. I'm using Auto Finesse Avalanche which I understood to be a premium product. The bottle says to use 1 to 2 inches, so I've been using 2 and the foam is just too wet even when the nozzle is turned to minimum.

Is there anything else I could do? Is the ValetPro stuff likely to make much difference or is it the lance? Sometimes the foam comes out quite thick near to the bottom of the bottle but from the start it's very wet.

Any help appreciated.

Karcher K2 at Tesco for £54 if anyone is interested. I think Amazon have the same deal on too. I'd get one but blew all my money (and some) last night on OH's birthday present :rolleyes:
