i am thinking of buying a hd snow foam lance to clean my papap as it is black and has a tendancy to show every last bit of dirt , but what i need to know is is it worth it as its 50 notes for the lance and a tenner for the soap or is it just another gimmicky thing that people waste their money on ,if anyone has one can they reply and if its anygood tell me which one they have and where it was bought from cheers my lovelies

 

 

Yea I bought one a couple of weeks ago and i would say that as long as you get decent foam like Bilt Hamber then it gets rid of 95% of the dirt. This is stops you scratching it when you clean it with a wash mit.

 

just got one for £44
its great well worth it.
get the best one you can

Snow Foam Lance

 

Just got one at the weekend - it's awesome. Speeds up wash time & uses a fraction of the shampoo I used to use on the standard Karcher foam attachement I used to use with my the pressure washer

Add to that the foam from the foam lance is stable on the car & will stay on for five minutes or more. Rinsing off with a hose leaves the car clean.

 

is the lance attached to a pressure washer or normal hose????????

 

A pressure washer, its next on my 'to get' list!

 

It's a gimmick, it may loosen the dirt/mud/sand etc, but it most definately will not remove road film without being aggitated via a brush, sponge or mitt.

I've had my snow foamer for over a year and I've got 3 different types of foam and it's all a waste of money, there's simply no substitue for a good shampoo, 2 x buckets and a mitt.

 

Have to disagree on this one - whilst road films are not fully removed using gentle foaming agents like Hyper Wash, all coarse material such as sand/silt is, meaning far less chance of causing damage when mitt washing. So, while foaming is not a foolproof solution, it does aid the wash process, and makes it safer... making it a worthwhile step in my opinion. Also, I blanket the car with fresh foam immediately ahead of the mitt wash - this provides a good degree of extra lubrication, and allows the mitt to slide over the paint even more smoothly than with a good shampoo alone.

 

No doubt a warm/hot snow foam wash like you guys have would make a big difference.

I foamed my truck last week, I gave it two blasts of Hyper and Chem Guys snow foam and sure enough most of the sand/grit was removed, but once dried it looked as dirty as before.

Sure, it deffo makes things a lot safer, but my black paint still looks awful after 2 years of lazy one bucket and one never washed mitt washing.

Time to break out the PC/Makita.
