I've just bought a Karcher 2 series which is going to be delivered shortly and I also got a Snow Foam lance on the way...

So from peoples experiences what snow foam would you recommend and also please state where to buy from...

P.S I've heard that Autosmart do one but can't seem to find it or any where that sales it!

Thanks

I use this:

OR:

http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/snow-foam/ultimate-snow-foam-5-litres.aspx

Both have good reviews.  Add a little car shampoo in with the mix and you're good to go.

The bottle included with the Makita PW can be used for snow foam.  Not very good (I had one supplied with my Nilfisk).  You really want to upgrade to this:

Expensive but well worth the money.  Make sure you order the correct fittings for the machine though

The only snowfoam lance that autosmart do is the Tornador which needs an air compressor afaik

Autosmart van's should be in your area. Ring your local supplier through the AS website.
