[ianmb]

This is the lance I bought. Cheap but has brass fittings and has been perfect over the past 3 years.

As far as foam goes, I’ve used a few but am currently using Autoglym Polar Foam which is very good.

I use TFR (traffic film remover) as it actually works, softens and disperses the traffic film/dirt.

As for applying it. I use one of these https://ebay.us/sqwK5M as getting the jet washer out and connected is a PITA.

1/3rd TFR to 2/3rds water.

Hand wash thereafter is, optional.

Looks great - I need a new one, and I was about to hit buy then I noticed this is for "new type" Nilfisk. My Nilfisk is a C120, which I'm assuming this isn't for?!?

Hi mate, I'm running one of these on my Nilfisk, you just pick the fitment you need

It gives really good foam with loads of setting options.

As for snow foam itself I'd not look past Bilt Hamber Auto Foam.  Comprehensive snow foam review where this was the winner.  I'd recommending fast forwarding to the end to get to the results unless you want to get really techie on it.

It doesn't turn pink and go mega foamy but it really shifts the crud off the car.

The guy in the video is really good with his reviews and hints and tips - well worth following.

Hope this helps and happy washing!

Mines the C130.2 and it fits ok. Not sure if that’s helpful.

This is the one I use. it's Pro Clean, as for the Snowfoam look for a PH Neutral one as that will not strip any of your paint protection.

Bilt Hamber, Bilt Hamber, Bilt Hamber...… I've tried pretty much everything else and for me nothing touches this stuff. Also I wouldn't cheap out too much on a foam cannon or you'll end up with 4 spare bottles like I have because the actual cannons are useless!!

If you are looking to have a spray bottle with something to boost cleaning power as well check out Koch Chemie Green star, that stuff is amazing and about 5-6 quid a bottle!!!

Agreed, BH Autofoam is excellent.

SN lances are mostly very similar, worth getting something decent though.

I use TFR (traffic film remover) as it actually works, softens and disperses the traffic film/dirt.

You should be aware that a lot of TFRs can strip any protection that your car as it was actually developed to be used on lorries. Obviously not ceramic coats but any wax etc could be removed using these products. Much safer to opt for a paint friendly snow foam.
