To get good Snowfoam you need a lance attachment for your pressure washer. I've got Magifoam snowfoam which is great in an Autobrite lance, a mate of mine also swears by Kleen Freaks foam :wink:

Hi, you can run normal shampoo through the ones that come with the pressure washer but it won't produce the the same thick foam a proper snow foam lance can.

Here's a link to some foam lances

Would this work?

You can use these for pre washing but it will produce very water foam that wont cling to the crap or the car instead of thick shaving cream type foam.

Yep you'll be fine to run ag shampoo through it, can't tell you how effective its going to be as I've never used that shampoo but it will be fine mate.
