Hook Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 If I'm going to get a pressure washer, and perhaps use it with 'snow foam', then will any pressure washer with a detergent function suffice to get the snow foam onto the car? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Nope - you need a foam lance. If you put snow foam in a detergent tank on the PW, you'll get foam in the tank and through the workings of the PW, but very little on the car. I also can't recommend the Karcher foam lance - get an autobrite one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&Q have a karcher pressure washer half-price at £29.99... will this do and then I can spend more money on the lance?! ^_^ Thanks Dan :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benholden2008 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i got one of them £35 ones from Halfords the other day and its great! Comes with a detergent bottle. all i did was fill about 1/3 with car shampoo then the rest with water and it covered the car in foam. so whats the different with a foam lance?

DanGull Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 If you have a lance, then yes, you can spend less on your washer, but remember that you get better foam with higher pressure. Having said that, good lance and good product with cheap PW (£20 on eBay) gets this... Not as thick as I get now, but still ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?acti...p;isSearch=true This is the pressure washer, there is one a little more expensive at 89.99, but it only has an extra 10bar pressure.
