I am looking to buy a snow foam lance which I can attach via a standard Hoselock coupling to a standard water hose.

I am just going to use it to pre-wash the car as I have seen what a good job they do but I am not really sure about which offer the best VFM and results.

I know the chemical has the biggest effect, but there is no point in buying a good chemical product and then finding that the lance is absolute pants.

I know there are some experienced show and shiners plus some professional detailers on this forum so all advice gratefully accepted.

 

I believe Simon got his from polish bliss, I'd say the product your using is more inportaint than the applicator but James will see you right on both accounts

 

All peeps that stuff a yellow microfiber up your zorst please step forward

 

there are a few about ty , but unless you use a PW and a HD lance they arnt that good , im doing a GB on the supra club atm if you want one.
im in llanelli tomorrow got a vrx to machine polish ill show you both

 

they dont work unless you attach to a power hose , it need the high pressure to make the foam. Even just putting the chemical into the powerhose detergent bottle doesnt work as its low pressure.

 

This one seems popular. I've just gone for one

 

good deal but ive got 10 litres of magifoam in my GB for £7 more

 

Thanks guys, I don't use a power wash on the car although I have one for the patio etc I don't really want to have to get it out for just snow foaming the car.

Peter, is the one on your group buy one that uses a power wash?

 

Unless you're going to use a Powerwasher I'd not bother Ty, the only one that works from a hose is the gilmour gun but the foam they produce is rubbish. If you don;t want to get the PW out, you're better off with a pump sprayer and a good pre-wash agent. (check it's PH neutral and therefore won't degrade your wax though.

If you decide to get a PW one (lovely nice thick foam!) Petes group buy sounds good!

 

thanks james mate, yes ty it works with the PW , two mins to get the PW out , plus your neighbours will think youve finally lost the plot

remember this

Mine got delivered today, once I'd got the hang of the control the foam was super thick

 

If it gives results like the second picture then I'll not bother with hand washing again, yes I'll have one please Peter.

And I bet the owner of that car was a good looking chap indeed.

 

Peter, can you send me a link or details of the group buy. I may need a replacement lance if I can't find the right o-ring to fix mine. Thanks.

 

can you take a pic of the part you need i might be able to get it for you , try that at least before buying a new one .or meet me tomorrow , bring the lance with you , im in llanelli all day

 

i wish ty lol , that was after a goods days slog with the polisher , came up a treat , and you sold it

 

Could you send me details of the group buy Peter? I've been thinking of getting a decent foam lance for a while now because the one that came with my Nilfisk power washer is useless!

 

I'm in work today, so won't be able to meet up. The washer I need is inside the brass connector for the powerwasher (karcher type). I have a washer set here but none of them seem the right thickness to seal and stay inside the connector. I was going to pop into pirtek in swansea, but haven't had a chance yet. If you can get your hands on any, let me know.

Thanks, Rich.

 

Can u post a link to the GB for the lance please?
My mate is after one at the moment..

 

Ty i have got one never used it James got it for me ,you can have it .If in Ponthir call in

 

Thanks Glenn, I'll give you a ring tomorrow and see if I can pop in tomorrow or Saturday.

 

£62 delivered with10 litres of snowfoam and a HD lance and fitment to whatever PW you have

Sorry Peter but you've be undercut at the last, but I do want some other products though.

 

lol let me know mate

 

Im using an autobrite foamlance thought a Karcher pressure washer. pumping their brand Magifoam though it... an excellent product and well worth the money.
