Snow foam lances - where to buy

Post by andycowuk »

Hi

i had bird poo on the car this morning and i don't have time tonight to faff about with the pressure washer, so i went to a snow foam place and paid £4 and gave explicit instructions to the boy not to touch my car! it worked pretty good actually, and although it was really stressful when i couldn't see what he was up to for 4-5 minutes, he did exactly as asked. 8)

Where did you get yours from and how much? I have a karcher pressure washer.

Thanks is advance.

For just these kinds of situations I carry a bottle of dodo juice tropical & a microfibre cloth in the boot..

I'd be interested too. Having googled it, they all seem to be about £45.

Autoperfection, Ultimate finish and cleanyourcar all do snow foam lances. I'm very impressed with mine. Works well, but you need to get a good quality foam to make the most of them I believe. I paid about £50 odd for mine delivered.

We ran a group buy on another forum we're involved with, which we'd happily run for this one too if people are interested.

We did a foam lance (with whatever fitment you need for your particular pressure washer) plus a 1 litre bottle of snow foam for £45.99, delivered and we have to had a minimum of 6 people to get that price.

Let us know if you're interested and we can get all of the details posted up so you have a bit more information about the products

All the best

I've got a genuine karcher one aswell as a proper snow foam one, and the karcher one is a bit pish in comparison TBH.

Link Here for the domestic Karcher one, I have uploaded to our website. I agree the commercial one is better - if someone can advise how I can insert a picture here I'll send one of my van with a commercial foam lance but you are talking £275+vat!! For £12.50 the domestic one is excellent value........

Yep totally agree, now I've read it and understand who autoperfection are!! Apologies all round just looked like someone was about to pat £45 for the Kärcher unit so thought I was helping.
Was out of line....... Apologies again.
