Post by: DamoP on July 22, 2014, 08:03:55 am

Hi guys

Can anyone recommend a decent snow foam and lance? I've got a kartcher pressure washer.

I was planning on getting one of the Autobrite lances but haven't got round to it yet as my Karcher is ancient and I need to make sure they're compatible.

There's a few deals on detailingworld although I'm not 100% sure they're still running http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=183611

I did a search on here and they seemed to get pretty good reviews.

The auto bright lances are great especially as part of the bundle / group buy

I have the autobrite lance and it works very well, you select the attachment you need for your pressure washer when you buy it. Look on Amazon it was the cheapest place I found and it come from autobrite themselves but was cheaper than their website.

I use an Autobrite lance on a karcher k4 and it's awesome!

Do a little searching around on detailing world and you should find codes to use on there site for discount!

I've used magifoam and now using super foam, both really good!  :happy2:

Magifoam dwells really well but I add a little APC for cleaning properties

I use cnp demon foam which comes with a lance that you just connect to your existing pressure washer.

I used a few PVC fittings I had lying around and it worked great and cost me nothing.

Here's a picture of the fitting I made from one of the 3 existing lances I got with the power washer.

Autobright lance is a fantastic. Expensive for what it is really but well worth while buying. I started with the Autobrite magnifoam which is good at getting rid of the traffic film you get from day to day driving etc but i prefer the bilt hamber snow foam. Not as foamy but does a better job of getting rid of the majority of the dirt on your car which is what you want over something that foams or looks good over performance. Many to chose from on the market so try a few different ones. :happy2:

I'd recommend bilt hamber auto foam for a snow foam.

Speak to AutoBrite Direct, can normally get a lance & 500ml snowfoam free for £30ish

Autobrite and magifoam here.. buy snowfoam in the larger sizes as it's alot better value!

Lances are apparently all made in the same factory; this is cheaper than autobrite:
