« on: 03 January 2010, 12:36 »
Any recommendations on the best place to pick up a reasonably priced snowfoam lance for a Bosch pressure washer?

Cheers  :smiley:

Thanks for that.

Have you tried it yet? Is it any good? What's the quality like - is it a metal attachment?

It has a heavy duty plastic attachment and it feels solid enough.It works great,it has a valve on the top to adjust the air/water/foam mix which makes great foam that clings to your car.They sell metal attachments for the bosch for £6.99 but the plastic one is fine.I looked at the more expensive lances and Im glad I went for the one I did,it works just the same and is a good £20 to £30 quid cheaper.

If your after a lance with a metal attachment take a look at http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-lance-various-fittings/prod_371.html  There's have a metal attachment including bosch and cost £44.99

One comment/review that makes me wonder how good brass/metal fittings really are compared to plastic ones :-

    Quality product, excellent results. However it is not 5* because the Karcher fitting is rubbish, had really difficult to put on and take out. That said it was fixed by filing down the brass at the end, in the areas where the locking bars are not (if that makes sense). CleanYourCar Comment: We've now swapped the brass Karcher for plastic adaptors so no more fittment issues.

That was one review from the "CleanYourCar" website about the bottle WITH metal fitments.

Yeah, I found that one with the metal fitting and it seems like a good deal to me. I must admit, I'm happier getting a metal fitting - there's always the chance of a plastic one becoming damaged. Looks like quite a reasonable price to me too - any idea if CleanYourCar are affiliated with this site? I would have probably ordered it through Waxamomo, but they don't seem to do lances...
