Snow Foam & Lance

[Hulmie]

Been after getting a lance and snow foam for a while, however i dont own a pressure washer and only have a normal garden hose to my disposal. So can someone point me in the right direction as to where i can buy good quality snow foam solution and a lance that can be used with a hose if there is one.

Also some advice/pointers to how to use snow foam and the dillution required would be helpful.

Thanks

If you have very good water pressure you might be ok with this: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/gilmour-foamaster-ii/prod_329.html

you could pick up a cheap pressure washer, Amazon have got deals on the ones Guy recommended. about 80 quid IIRC.

cheers for that dragonfly, looks like a good product but from the customer reviews i dont think it'll do the job i want. Need something that is going to cover the car with foam that'll stay there for a while.

T_J_G - whats this pressure washer guy recommends?

[Guy]

the only way you're going to achieve this properly is with a pressure washer and HD lance... otherwise you're wasting your money

if you have a look for nilfisk pressure washers you will find some good deals around... you don't need anything amazing if you are only using it occasionally

nilfisk are being recommended by a lot of peeps over on detailing world

Thanks Guy, what would you recommend Lance and snowfoam solution wise?

Get you self a nilfisk think theres one thats in round £100 it'll do your job. Using the garden hose wont be any good and as said before it'll be a wast of time and money

Then get a lance that will match up to you nilfisk. this is the 1 i have, its great gets used about 3 times a week and no bother so far.    http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-lance-various-fittings/prod_371.html

I have this SF because it PH neutral and wont mess with my wax like some other SF can

I got a snowfoam lance to use with my karcher and think its great, couldn't do without it now (the neighbours think I'm mental though).

Also, I seen a nilfisk in a screwfix I passed for £69.99. I dont know if it was a local offer though.

I use my dad's K2.02.

This is what it looks like:


It was cheap at the time yet over five years later, still works fine. You don't need to spend £££.
