Snow Foam Lance

TRNC · 23 Oct 2011 at 12:12

Is there a snow foam lance for either Karcher or Bosch that is £30 or less and actually works?

It seems the one sold in halfords is not a snow foam lance despite their claims and wont actually do the job!

Ok it's 15 pounds over budget but this one is tried and tested and works spot on:

False ecomony not to buy this - it's excellent.

Don't waste your money on snow foam, it's rubbish for anything other than having a bit of fun before washing your car. It's a shame really as I bought absolutely loads of the stuff.

I have this, its truly excellent! Snow foam is awesome stuff, not only does it entertain it actually cleans and brings out a better shine!

For me it's the fact it gets 80% of the crud off before you even have to touch your car. Less crud on car = less crud pushed around on surface of paint = fewer swirl marks

Why do you think it is rubbish eidolon?

I don't notice any difference in using it, it is handy for cleaning the arches and bits you can't get to though.

Hmm, I think I will get the one linked to, thanks

I also hope my experience of snow foam is better than some are saying - it was sold as the all singing and dancing wonder cleaner...!!!

Any good options for those of us without access to a hose pipe/outside tap?

Well you could try the Gilmour Foamaster (If you are still looking that is)
