Have you ever considered a snowfoam attachment for your pressure washer?

In the long run, a snowfoam attachment would work out cheaper than that flash system.

Yes i have, but i use my mates flash washer sometimes and its very easy and quick to clean the car with when i just want to give it the once over:) But i do fancy a snow foam lance..

The actual washer is not up too much but must admitt the ionised water catridges were excellent, picked up a few off them when Instore / poundies were clearing these things out.

as suggested earlier thou power washer with foam gun is 100 times better, occasionally finish the car off with the ionised water from the flash system but would never actually wash the car with the flash gun itself, there is not enough power in it to even get the worst off the cr&p off the car.

has anyone had any problems with this system though?

Get a gilmour foam gun if you don't want to mess about with a pressure washer. And also get a water butt. The rain water won't leave as many drying marks when rinsing like tap water.

Jamo 16 July 2010 05:39 PM

I used the foam on my car which had been waxed, it had a strange effect on the wax, the ionised water was fantastic though.

Lazy way to clean your car. :luxhello: Works very well and had no problems with it. :)
