Undecided about pressure washers and snow foam

[DanFreemanPhoto]

As my bday is coming up soon, one thing that I MIGHT ask my rents to contribute to is a pressure washer, exciting I know!

But Im just not sure whether it would be worth it or not! I would also get a snow foam kit, but are these worth it too?

Does foaming your car have any difference to a good wash by hand?

Ive seen a lot of pics after people have foamed their car, and yes it looks really nice, but I cant help but think it wouldne have looked much different after hand washing!

So im undecided wether to get a foam kit (inc pressure washer) or a poliching machine, probably the G220

Snow foam imo, only works if the car had a good layer of wax beneath the grime. You can literally foam, leave to dwell, then blast off. The car will be 80-90% clean. The benifit of this is you have less crap to sponge (mitt ) off, thus less damage to paint. I've even just foamed, pressure washed off, then left it, as where i live the cars dirty again after a few miles. I got mine in the group buy, so wasnt too expensive
