I need to get a New presure washer, as Mine's packed up on me :(

I keep borowing the father in laws. Where is the best place to get one. Jet wash as well.

foam lances are from autobrite direct. shall i see if i can do a group buy on them? the do pressure washers as well. :thumb:

i got my little ;) pressure washer from b&q can't fault a karcher imo.

You cant beat a foam lance so much fun he he he :D

Looks pretty cool!

Let me know if a group buy gets sorted.

Makes car washing look more fun!

Vicki :D

will get onto the guys and see what i can sort out :thumb:

i'll make do with the fire extinguiser from work, for now ;)

[runs to look for a house with a big driveway]

Surely that can't be a pic of Matt's work, I mean look at the colour of those buckets! :eek:

Group buy sounds good to me:)

I'm in for a group buy, i can always ebay the gilmour :D

whats the point of this 'foam lance'


what does it do?

:lol: Dont matter what it does mate , It's a crack doing it :D :D

Im sure some of the bufty boys will advise otherwise ..

But for me ...

1. It really keeps the car wet / Moist / Soapy :norty: , 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 :D

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 :thumb:

4. But above all it's just fun " Splattering " The cars with a load of white creamy material :eek: :lol1:

Tiny :luxhello:

I thought you had the op !! :Suspiciou:Suspiciou:Suspiciou:Suspiciou:Suspiciou :Suspiciou:Suspiciou ;)

:eek2: Me Never :lol1: It still works though after the op dont it :wonder: ?

:lol1:

trust Ed to lower the tone :lol:


I dont think it would work well with my swissol although it does look fun covering it in white lol

Swissvax Best of Show on my car Mark works fine :thumb: 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.

:D

:norty: think i need one too....

OK, i'm convinced, mainly on the basis that its another gadget :thumb: .

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 :norty: .

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! :norty:

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.

Seems the AB 1 litre design has changed since I last looked basically a megs bottle :thumb:
