I bought my 2 set 3wks ago,i prefer

Can vouch for this snow foam bottle and fitment,

HUGE improvement over the Karcher bottle. There's pics of my efforts in the gallery section.

cool,whats the best foam? is it the super foam or the magi-foam

B0DSKI 18 November 2012 09:37 AM

I've got the Superfoam. Mark @ Autobrite says the Magifoam will cling better and possibly remove more of the bonded containments with it. If the car's not too dirty then I'd stick with the Superfoam or get a bottle of each and see for yourself ;)

Springs 18 November 2012 10:11 AM

with the foam lances, are they just a spray, leave on and then wash off? no rubbing in required?

you still have to wash your car afterwards but the foam will remove most of the dirt that will prevent scratches

B0DSKI 18 November 2012 11:52 AM

As shreksta says its more for softening the dirt on the panels.

I just did the gfriends car. Pre rinsed to wet the car. Nice thick layer of snowfoam. Left to dwell whilst I did the glass and wheels. Pressure washed off then washed as normal. 2 bucket method.

Amazing how clean the rinse bucket is after. You're Basicly removing the risk of rubbing the dirt and contaminants into the paintwork. And as a result helping to minamise the risk of creating swirls and scratches to the car.

Makes a big difference.

Hi, I have an unbranded pressure washer (from Woolworths). A Deltajet 1200, but the adaptor on the spray nozzle looks similar to the Lavor bayonet - do you have the dimenions so I can check the fitment - each step and the bayonet latches are about a 1cm on mine:wonder:

B0DSKI 18 November 2012 05:14 PM

John post a pic of it and I'll pass it onto Mark to check the fitment

this is the poor attempt my karcher foam bottle does at the minute

this is what im using

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KARCHER-SN...item3f1eba6dfc

as you can see it hardly makes a thick foam and runs off too quickly,hopefully the autobrite lance works better

According to Mark that is indeed a Lavor.

scotty44 18 November 2012 09:10 PM

Shreksta throw that lance away lol

This is a AD lance with magi foam < beats snow foam by a mile ;)

I think I have 90% of the products AD sell as I live a few minutes away I call in when I'm low :) Mark,Jill and the gang are great, this deal has been on DW for ages and they have sold 1000's of these... well worth the ££ in my opinion

the shreksta 21 November 2012 07:40 PM

well i got mine today and it looks like a real good quality lance,hopefully i can test it this weekend

what mixture do you use with the super snow foam? do you add warm water to the bottle aswell?

I would go 2 inch of SSF and fill up with water (not found warm water makes any difference to be honest) If it were magi foam then 1 inch would be enough :thumb: a full bottle will do 2 cars... remember to undo the bottle after your done and run a little clear water through to clean the lance ;)

Exactly as Scotty describes :thumb:
