I'm not sure about that to be honest, I saw it myself but as the lance everyone seems to be buying is like £45 they can't be the same thing.

Having said that I would like to know the difference as that on paper sounds ok?

Anyone in the know about this??!

Doesn't look as impressive as the results some others have shown. Matt from i4detailing put up some pictures a while back which looked mighty fine...will have a quick search to see if I can find them...

I would get a AB or the C&S one instead. Worth the extra cost.

I used it on the Laguna today and even though it was extremly dirty with winter roads 80-90% of the crap came off with just the snow foam.

You'd also get much thicker foam which sticks much nicer and drags more dirt off.

im going to give the karcher a whirl it takes long enough without playing with huge volumes of foam

 

[cat171]

The Halfrauds one & the Karcher one look to be identical. Obviously the Halfrauds one is just plain (it's not not karcher on the bottle)

I have the Karcher foam lance [bottle] it's ok, quite good foam results. Although the tube that goes into the bottle has already developed a small split.

does the job im very happy with it

that was a mix of autoglym shampoo an hot water im going to order some snowfoam in the summer

 

[mattjk]

Autoglym isnt really a good shampoo to use for this in it not very bubbly at the best of times

 

[daydotz]

i know i should really get something else ive got 1litre to use up first :S

 

[Fletcher]

I shall also be ordering some snow foam in the new year.

 

[Brand86]

Get the Snow Foam, its like £11 for 5 litres or something.

Would get a better shampoo to follow it up with on your mitt though, as Snow Foam on its own won't leave a brilliant finish and obviously just soaking/ spraying the car won't remove 100% of the dirt.
