Default Foam lance and snow foam, what to get?

Hi guys

Looking to get one of these, they all look pretty much the same for circa £40/£50 but is there a particular make I should get, have seen Autibright at a resonable price?

Was going to get the one from PB with some Megs but by the time you add on the postage its getting on for £85 so thought I may look elsewhere.

I have seen what looks like the PBliss lance on ebay for about £40 but it could well be a cheap copy.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks

Also posted in the detailing section but looks pretty quite at the mo.

I use the foam lance from these guys Foam Lance on the Karcher and the PH neutral Snow Foam.

One of the best bits of kit i have, with the 2 bucket method and a wookie mit you rarely if ever get swirl marks.

If you dont have the one from J4mou, the Autobrite one is a quality bit of kit and the Autobrite Magifoam is by far the best snow foam I have ever used. At £19.99 for 5 litres it may be a little more expensive than some foams but trust me it is worth it as most other foams remove very little dirt whereas the Magifoam pretty much shifts the lot.
Here is a link to a small review I did on detailing world.

And as Dan has said the Magifoam is the mutts nuts

im going to remove my offer for the minute as ive never been able to find reasonably priced foam before but ive just ordered some of that autobrite stuff, the problem with this stuff is delivery cost, it always seems to be £6 plus which makes the stuff bloody expensive especially the megs which I had before.

I always used to say the same thing, but 5L lasts ages offsets the costs a bit. Arron has borrowed my lance so expect an update as I know he's been cursing how dirty his car is and how the weather has stopped him...

yeah defo, you only use a few ml for a full lance tub, I can do 2 or 3 cars from 1 full tub so it really does go a long way.
