Title: Snow Foam or not....
Post by: scotta on February 17, 2010, 10:03:01 pm

Bought a karcher 6.75 washer last weekend - http://www.karcher.co.uk/product.php?pr=364 (http://www.karcher.co.uk/product.php?pr=364)

The dilema ive got now is whether to get a foam lance to go with it or just to stick with the detergent tank on the washer.

My brother works for Nielsen's so i use his TFR cleaning fluid which is good stuff and available on tap.

What benefit would a snowfoam lance give me over the standard washer tank and the nielsens detergent? (link below)

I have heard of people struggling to clear other cleaning fluids from the hose after use with detergents for example, thats why i stear clear. Dont know if its true, just didnt fancy a streaky finish.

TFR's are usually quite harsh so I wouldnt personally be using that on a regular basis. You can't beat a proper snowfoam lance available from cleanyourcar.co.uk and elitecarecare etc using valet pro foam or similar.
