Anyone recommend a good foaming lance for the Karcher pressure washer??? Not the karcher one, obviously, as reports are that it produces about as much foam as baby oil

.......thought I would give the Polish guys a rest and have a go myself......hence the requirement for the lazy 's little helper. Apparently you just spray and go have a cuppa.......sounds excellent to me.

Naturally I will not be as an*l as NickM or Jay......christ, they even polished their dustcaps at the 60th anniversary ................talking of which, where is NickM??? Has he gone on one of those "eat all you like" holidays in Benidorm??  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

5 series for the miles

RRS S/C factory built HST - Gone

45 others have been and gone!

i got mine from a company called autobrite including 5l of super snow foam for £60

Seems very well made, but I aswell as some others have had to drill the inner part of the connector out to give it a easier fit to the karcher lance

Super snow foam (1" in bottom of the 1L bottle) gives a great whipped cream foam aswell

I know a few other companies that sell them too, but all seem to be online

Not as easy as that,

it does soften the grime and greasy road film come off easier, but you still need to give is a pressure wash off, I then re foam and wash with microfibre noodle mitt and a bucket of wash n wax, (you can also add a little to the foam when refoaming)

Giving the car a good polish, and then a paint sealant wax will help future washes too and give the car a lovley shine too that should last a few months to a year

It does make it easier to wash though by doing this in my opinion

unless your into cleaning your car or cars then No

I like spending 5 hours, foaming, washing, polishing and waxing the car, and a hour or two on the inside of it, so it was worth it to me.

Cool i'll get one then

I got that Flash gut it's poo at doing this so i just use it to filter the water at the end that bit works very well

Can you use any shampoo with this? RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

your best using a snowfoam, (company thats sells gun normally stock it too)

It more of a Traffic film remover and softens the dirty too, then a good pressure wash off,

as I said above, when your going to then hand wash the car redo the foam it and add a little wash and wax

I don't know if it does really help or it the wax from the bucket, but i did this to the wifes car and it had nice little droplets of water like it had just been polished (it had about 5 weeks ago)

I would also invest in a couple of the large Microfibre drying towel too, they dry the car off really well too and you have less chance of scratching it if using the old fashioned chammy leather

I still use these even though I flash rince mine too, just incase i missed a little.

(when you wash these microfibers use a liquid detergent without conditioner as your not likely to have any left over soap powder if you use it)

Nice one Nick i'll order one in the morning should get it by Friday so i can use the 7 next week  RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

make sure you order the right model for the pressure washer you have

If you have a karcher its a different connector to say a B&Q own brand which i think are laver connectors

Autobrite direct and elite car care are the most popular ones that people on the detailing website i go to use
