Snow Foam - which one?

I've got a Karcher and a foam nozzle Which is the best foam cleaner there seems to be quite a few to choose from Banging Head Can anybody recommend a good one please? Thumbs Up Cheers Laurence.

Do you have the foam gun that came with the Karcher, or a dedicated foam lance (like this one). Question

The former won't really give you much more than soapy water to be honest, whereas the latter will created a blizzard if you wanted it to Laughing

Regarding foams, I use ValetPro or Meguiars Hyperwash in mine. Thumbs Up ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I got this from one of my suppliers who said it is for use with the snow foam - but now I'm having doubts!! Big Cry

for snow foam, I used Autobright Magifoam

I don't often use it as snow foam though, I use it in a small pump sprayer and spray on work just as well as the foam tends to run off due to the GTechniq silo seal Laughing

That's the one, but horrendous pricing Shocked

Personally, I'd say you're better off going for Deal 4 in the attached. £61 gets you a proper lance Wink and 5l of magifoam delivered to your door Cool . I know it's an old thread, but they still offer it. Smile

The guys at AB are very good. Thumbs Up
It's worth noting that when you do get the lance, get into the habbit of running just water through it once you've foamed the car. They have a gauze in the end that can be replaced for a couple of £'s from AB, but it will last a lot longer if you do some regular maintenance on it by flushing with just water and no soap.

Here's a thread that might be of use to you at some point also Wink

I normally run my lance till its empty anyway, as there's no point in leaving any in the bottle as the water will be cold so always count this as my rinse Wink
