What snow foam lance’s are people using?

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I need a new snow foam lance for my Nilfisk pressure washer.

The first one I bought was an unbranded one from eBay and it lasted qute well.

My current one is from Slims Detailing and to be quite frank, it’s s**t. It’s lasted about 10 uses.

What ones are you lot using?

 

[Mr Plums]

I use the JuicyJen one mate, ive had it about 5 years and it hasnt missed a beat.

[Mr R.]

I've got the one from CYC, no problems so far. There's not alot to go wrong with them

Have you replaced the little filter in it mate?

It looks like it mate yes, but this was years a go so im unsure if she has changed them etc, but as i say its been faultless.

Auto Finesse have recently brought out their own lance, when my cheap eBay special packs in I’ll be trying that one.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Apologies :laughing:

So far so good. Been using signature groups candy apple snow foam with it. Works a treat.

 

[brisa4984]

ive got the slims one.. and its total s**t. like you mentioned lasted about 10 washes..

 

[loggyboy]

I have a Karcher lance - very temperamental, and im looking to replace with something.

What power is your pressure washer?
My Nilfisk recently s**t the bed, so I bought a new one (smaller) and now my foam comes out like water - Most annoying!

 

[Clio_fool]

I'm using signature candy apple foam and an eBay lance and it comes out like bubble bath and doesn't stick to the car for very long. I have a karscher k4.

 

[James H]

My autobrite lance has lasted a good 3 years now and still going strong. Makes decent foam with just a karcher k2 compact. Foam is bh autofoam

 

[PAUL JA]

Another vote here for the Autobrite product, been using it for 7 / 8 years. Had it stripped and cleaned by them once including a new filter.

I spent a fair bit on mine as I had a load of amazon vouchers to spend and it’s quite powerful

 

[Clio_fool]

This is how my foam comes out. Doesn't look anywhere near as thick as some. The Mrs car does have a good coat of repellant sealer on which doesn't help the foam to hang around but it's still not great.

 

[daydotz]

I bought this not long after i joined here but it recently packed up (blocked i think)

So I need new one [emoji853]

 

[rs 1an]

I use a K5 with a 10m extension, use the foam undiluted then adjust for thickness, mist the dirty bits with Surfex, foam leave for as long as possible, not in sunlight, then rinse off.

Cleantec.biz

Local company (n.ireland) and have great prices and really good lances. The guy that runs it is super helpful too if you ever have any questions.

Think my lance was £20

Then I use https://anachem-automotive.com/ products to clean it.
Everything I’ve used from there has been better than the big brand stuff. I recommend the tarminator, snowfoam, gleam wash and the hybrid quick detailer is pretty amazing. Again, local products but free uk delivery over £25.

 

[Simon998]

Also, I dilute my snowfoam at 80/1 with very hot (not boiling) water. As the bottle recommends. I tried stronger dilutions and the results stayed the same.

[loggyboy]

Just upgraded my Karcher lance for a generic cheap ebay one. So much better. Well worth the £11 cost!
Using cheap carplan foam as it smells nice and is a neutral colour.

Miss my mk3 breadvan

Please come take it away (its not mine tho)

 

[Coops Mk1]

Lol @loggyboy

 

[daydotz]

I ended up with a Autofinesse lance which is good albeit expensive but it was a gift [emoji38]

Pretty sure they are rebranded ebay specials. Pics look identical anyway.

 

[Brigsy]

Im using an EZ car care snowfoam lance, seems ok no problems as of yet.

I'd imagine so but I wasn't convinced by some of the negative feedback's on eBay specials by the time I'd factored in next day delivery free avalanche & 10% discount

 

[Steve]

Which eBay one for K5?
The one I got from Matt @DoDo finally packed up after many years of use.
Swapped gauzes but no difference!

 

[loggyboy]

I went for this one. £2 cheaper now too.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Snow-Foa...s-High-Pressure-Washer-1L-Bottle/253844566156

Only used it twice but seems good and nicely adjustable.

Been bought the Nilfisk 120 for Christmas from the Girlfriend.Will use it once moved to the new house,it comes with its own Lance & Foam gun.I take its worth upgrading the foam gun & maybe Lance to?.Also need to look into Snow Foams.
