which specific one do you recommend/have ? is 2L enough ?
I had had the pump sprayer MarkH linked , and the pistol control, and tubing joints were not so good.

Once you have have connected, fired up the QuattroKarcher, might as well use it for foam too ? unless you are going buckets for rinsing.

Magifoam is a fantastic choice, no need to return anything, cookeh is just being a bit of a BH fanboy.

Thickness is irrelevant, cleaning power is derived from concentration. As long as its used at the correct concentration you will see the results you want. All this overly thick foam that clings for 2,000 years is just for show and Instagram.

Yes but if it's watery it will literally just run off your car and start to dry. If it's thick it will cling and soak into the harder dirt, that takes a little longer. Also no worry about it drying in areas where the foam has run off.
 
Bit of an impulse buy yesterday but tried Meguiars new Hybrid Ceramic Wax today. Like I imagine all these similar products are, it was extremely easy to apply and was beading very well. Interested to see how it holds up but definitely a fan so far.
 
Surprised at the lance foam results. I found it a complete waste of money, and a waste of time in the washing process. I haven't once seen a good before and after of it.

I'll do some next time for you. I was generally surprised how much of a difference it made.

It's perfect for the warmer months when once a week you just snowfoam, let it dwell use some wheel cleaner on the wheels then rinse it all off and you're done.i used to think the same and realised my set up wasn't good, had a karcher lance and poor water pressure to my washer so it wasn't foaming enough or thick enough.

It's not designed to get rid of caked on grim but it does help loosen it for the heavier cleans.
 
Well the stupid pressure washer died today, i think some foam got inside accidentally and shorted it.

Anyone know any that is more water proof?
 
I just bought a 50ft hose for mine so it doesn’t go anywhere near whatever I’m spraying. 100ft from the tap to the machine, 50ft from the washer to the sprayer. I’m thinking of mounting it permanently in my garage now too so there’s less faffing around

Oh forgot to say, before the pressure washer died, double the concentration and it wasn’t much a difference. It was Cleanyourcar website’s own brand snowfoam.

Does your wand have a mixer valve? I found with my old one (which didn't) that no matter the concentration in the bottle it was still very thin. The new one with a mixer valve can produce everything from stuff that's like fluffy snow to basically spray on soap suds. It's great!

Yes, I dialled it to the limit.
