Did see one like this, didnt know if it was any good "http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Snow-Foam-Lance-Karcher-Attachment-/390509593543?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item5aec2f83c7"

just the attachment on its own and ill get the actual foam liquid at another time, lacking funds tbh

Go onto detailing world, group buy section.

Autobrite are running their lance reduced, and offer it with cheaper rated of snow foam. All you need to do when ordering is specify what pressure washer you have ie karcher, nilfisk etc

Any recommendations on the best snow foam? Iron X?

 

[Clart]

chemicalguys citrus wash was excellent when i tried it.

 

[raviedavie]

I still use good old Valet pro most of the time

 

[EdV6220]

Valet Pro looks cheap and cheerful

 

[raviedavie]

Never let me down tbh, I normally mix in a very small amount of APC and I've never been disappointed

just an edit to note that APC may remove previous wax or LSP ;-)

 

[Clart]

Im tempted to put some iron x in my i4detailing snow foam

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I've recently bought 5ltrs of the auto finesse avalanche snow foam. Weather permitting ill be using it this weekend. Ill let you know what its like.

 

[Flat Eric]

The i4detailing snow foam isn't bad either. Been using it for a while.
Also magifoam is good.

I've found that on my grubby cars normal citrus power sprayed on and pressure washed off works a little better than avalanche. Compared to other snow foams avalanche seems to be on par with most others I've tried

its going to be with me in a couple of days thanks to detailing world
Is the foam thick or is it a thin layer?

Megs Hyper Wash is still my fav, purely due to the dilution ratios and it being wax friendly.

But having said that, if AF brought out a dilute-able Citrus Power (not heard good reviews about Avalanche in comparison to CP, cleaning ability wise), I'd soon change my mine. CP is such a good product, but gets very expensive.

depends on how powerful your pressure washer is, and the dilute you dial in with the top adjuster on the top of the lance.

You can make it as thick or as watery as you want, but a more powerful washer will use less product to create a thick foam than a low pressure washer, meaning you have to turn up the dilution and use more product. you'll soon find a mix your happy with first use.

It's a shame CP concentrate isn't likely to happen. I tried CP in the foam lance and again it still didn't remove quite as much grime as normally spraying it on and pressure rinsing. I bought the 5L bottle so works out a little cheaper so I don't mind sticking a healthy dose in the lance. But comparing to how much some people use on one car ie 1/3 or 1/2 a bottle sticking 100 - 150ml in a lance will work out more economical

Great help thanks, now got to see what diluted solution goes best with my karcher washer
