Default Snow Foam, Advice

I have seen a few people and posts on here about snow foam and I am in to minds to give it a go. Mainly because I don't currently have a pressure washer or snow foam lance.

I have been out this morning to look at pressure washers etc and see if I could find. Unfortunately no shops in Barnsley have even heard of snow foam let alone stock it.

Questions:
Is snow foam anygood?
Where can you buy it from, other than the net? (not very patient for postage)
Do you have to buy a snowfoam lance, or can you use the attachment pots that come with presure washers?

1. Yes. It's very good. Anything that reduces the risk of scratches / swirls has to be.
2. As mentioned, only available online. Megs hyperwash is great through a foam lance. as it has a dilution ratio of 400.1, it last a long time and if a great shampoo also.
3. The foam from a foam lance is far better than that which you get from the plastic bottle. Foam needs to slide slowly fromthe car, taking dirt with it. If the foam is too thin it runs off too quickly. Too thick and it doesn't slidedown the car.
Its well worth it, I wouldn't be without one.

Got one, cant think where from but it came with 6 litres of super snow foam, in a litre bottle i put in half a bottle of super snow foam a dash of car shampoo, then top it off with warm water, only really use it for heavy winter cleaning

Cheers guys. By the sounds shops are loosing out on profits not stocking this as it seems that a lot of people use it and more probably would if it was easily available.

Do you have to use a presure washer with the lance or can you buy hose pipe attachment ones.
