Pressure washer and snow foam lance

I have a Karcher pressure washer and am going to buy a snow foam lance for it. I have money in paypal so ideally would like to buy one from ebay. Does anybody have one of these and could recemend which one to get? Also what snow foam should I get to go with it?

I'd recommend i4detailing - Snow Foam Lance - for use with your pressure washer - various fittings available

One of the best companies i have ever bought from for good price/very quick delivery/well packaged.

The lance recommended by jenic looks very similar to the one I got from cleanyourcar.co.uk

I'm very happy with the results from it (with my Karcher 391) and after trying several snow foams and shampoos with it the best results (for me) come with a mixture of Dodo Juice Supernatural and Born to be Mild shampoos. Both of those come in small bottles, but there's not much needed to get good results.

I assume you didn't read the thread, as if you had you'd have found my post in there which gives a list of places that sell the lances.

+1.
Bought a lance from him and snow foam in 5 litre tubs. Would happily recommend Mark/Autobrite and his products.

One tip - when mixing the snow foam use warm/hot water. This ensures the snow foams to its maximum. Oh, and leave it to dwell for at least 10 mins. Don't be tempted to go at it sooner as its working as its moving down the car bodywork.

If you haven't already got them - get a decent mit (noodle or lambswool) and a couple of buckets (one for your soap and one to rinse into) to wash the car after snowfoaming and powerwashing off. The results are excellent and the mit and two buckets reduce the swirl scratches caused by dirt off the car.
Beware though as its quite addictive due to the results you get and you start to look at other options like claying, polishing, waxing etc.

If you want to go off ebay look for RAE-CHEM (not sure if thats the user name or not) - got my lance from them, I think its the same as the autobrite one, they used to do packs with some snow foam too.

Wherever you get it from get the pressure washer first, as its not a universal fitting, so you need to buy the lance that matches the pressure washer.

Fancy seeing you here paul, hows the golf?

I already had a Karcher Pressure Washer and I bought a snow foam lance and 5 litres of cherry snow foam from ebay. Got the whole lot for £51. I am very happy with the results.
