I'm considering the above. Does anyone have this? How is it in comparison to the powerwasher one? My mum has a karcher but I prefer to just use the hose, I may consider the attachment for the karcher if the gilmour isn't very good.

The Gilmour is an ok attachment, however it can't be compared to a proper lance for a pressure washer. Just to compare, here is a few cars I have done, the Porsche and Subaru with the Gilmour, the Lexus and Bentley with the lance for the pressure washer

i recently got the 'super spray attachment for the hose and worked well did give good coverage of the car think i need to play with the snowfoam ammount, but the obvious advantages of the pressure washer is its got aloth more presure so will give a thicker ammount of foam

well thats how i see it

but used snow foam for the first time last wk end and its awesome stuff!!!

as said above it cant be compaired to the lance option but its a good pre-wash tool and will speed up your wash process.

I've tried supersprays, gilmours and a couple of other foam lances none of them really did much more than throwing a bucket of soapy water over the car.

Got a HD lance for my Karcher and this is the result with cleanyourcar.co.uk ph neutral snow foam.

after 5 minutes of sitting on the car.

You will only get good results with a Gilmore if you have decent pressure.  I use a Super Soaker as a pre wash if I'm not using snow foam.
