Hi,

Im looking for a cheapish foam lance/gun to try with the car & bike.
All the lances seem to be around the £40 - £50 mark, whilst the not so good guns are somewhat cheaper.
Anyone know of any cheaper lances or is it a case of biting the bullet and getting a good quality one?
 
I bought one of the heavy duty foam guns from here after deciding it wasnt worth wasting money on a cheaper one to find out its probably rubbish.
 
I've just bought a really cheapy one of the bay to see what it's like. It was only a few quid so I thought it's worth a go. Just waiting for it to be delivered and I can give it a go.

How effective is foaming the car before washing with a mitt?

It is pretty cool, but in my own experience is just as good as a bucket and shampoo. Breezy day and not only do you coat you own car but your neighbours too, it does not really "cling" to grime as well as they make you believe. Hard to get the dilution right too as well as being quite heavy when laidened up. Broke two bottles after it came shooting out of its housing too, but that was on the day I bought it and did not know how to use it properly!
 
Thought about the Karcher foam gun to start with.
After reading a shops forum (no idea if it would be an ocuk competitor) they dont regard the karcher one highly.
