Dont matter what it does mate , It's a crack doing it Im sure some of the bufty boys will advise otherwise ..
But for me ...
1. It really keeps the car wet / Moist / Soapy
, So nice to spray car & then use your mitt to wipe over , It saves using buckets etc ..2. After you have used the lance , Then wash mitt , Just blast of with normal water & hey presto car is clean
3. The " Supa Foam " " Slick & Suds" ( Stuff that makes the snow ) Seems to have a good waxing property in it , So just a wash & towel dry seems to bring up great results for me
4. But above all it's just fun " Splattering " The cars with a load of white creamy material

It jet washes on to create the foam but it doesn't hit the paint like pressure washing with just water. It just foams up the car as a pre-wash to remove most of the cr@p leaving an almost clean car before you wash it. I still use the two bucket method after prewashing but you substantially reduce the chances of swirling by using the foam lance as a prewash method.A couple of foaming guides I made, I do jet wash the car if it is getting a waxing after, but normally just use the nozel to rinse.

OK, i'm convinced, mainly on the basis that its another gadget .
I do have one which came with my Karcher but the bottle is tiny and the "foam" isn't that great.
What one is recommended then ??? I was thinking something along these lines - E-Commerce
Is it worth starting a list of what people want, that way we have an idea of what quantities to approach Autobrite with to arrange a suitable discount .

Well i've come to the conclusion that the bottle that came with the lance is too small.............. I need of a bigger one as i'm filling up twice to do me car!
Advise for those purchasing.......... The bigger the bottle the better!

If its an AB one you just need a megs bottle and adapt the pick up to make it a little longer. AB do a 1 litre one but I prefer the Megs bottles as they cave in less.
Handi-Hold Bottle (947ml) - Accessories - Clean Your Car - car care products UK
Elite Car Care - Elite Handi Hold Bottle & Spray Head
Clean and Shiny Store - Meguiars APC Dispenser Bottle (sprayers sold separately) (Powered by CubeCart)
Seems the AB 1 litre design has changed since I last looked basically a megs bottle
