which snow foam lance?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Yep, pressure wash the foam off the car afterwards. I normally only leave the foam on for 10-15mins.
I usually do the wheels with a valet pro brush while the foam is doing its magic, by the time the wheels are done, its usually time to jet the foam off

I've been doing it wrong then. 

I use the karcher pw to rinse, then karcher snow foam lance to whack the karcher snow foam on, (all came in the same pack) lol, leave for a few mins, then use wash mitt and two bucket method....rinse, dry...

I'm going to try your way though, sounds better than the potential of getting dirt in the mitt... So just before two bucket method, rinse off snow foam.

Jettair:
As above use the karcher attachment  :happy2:

Thanks heavy.

If I stand further back to wash off the foam the car was still covered in dirt!! (dont think the foam worked) I then stood closer with the pressure washer and it removed the dirt.

Should most of the dirt and grit end up on the floor in the foam before rinsing the foam off?

heavyd:
The karcher attachments dont work as good as the HD foam lances mind, nowhere near.
I think the trouble is, people expect the car to be gleaming clean after theyve used the snow foam, I've never had this happen. Its only meant to be a pre-wash to get the  thick of the grime off the car, at which it does its job.
Try different times to leave the foam on the car, 10, 20 or 30 mins, see what gives best results for you?
