Recommended Snow Foam Lance

As I'm thinking to buy a snow foam lance, though I'd see if anyone has a recommendation for which lance and where to buy? I need the Lavor fitting, but want to be able to change the fitting to Karcher or something in the future as my pressure washer is quite old.

Seen lots of detailing places online, and usual online retailers too, any recommendations/discounts around?

RE: Recommended Snow Foam Lance

I bought the Autobrite HD foam lance from the detailingworld group buy - and I'm very happy with it. £40 including delivery and you get a 500ml sample of Magifoam thrown in for free and can upgrade the order to add 5L for an extra £17...

RE: Recommended Snow Foam Lance

yes i brought one of those as well, but got some valet pro hp neutral snow foam instead. to be honest i have been using it loads, but it was not given the results i was hoping for.
but i think i had been getting my dilutions wrong, and yesterday after adding a lot more product and changing the fan width and dilution rate on the lance a bit the car came up a lot cleaner.
i still have to do a 2 bucket after though to get it really clean. then again since i have been experimenting with all this detailing gear since i got the car, it has not really had the chance to get to dirty Smile

RE: Recommended Snow Foam Lance

Any idea what the best snow foam to use was thinking of getting The ultimate snow foam

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Snow-Fo...370&sr=8-1

Along with getting a snow foam lance any feedback appreciated

I was told Meguires Hyperwash is the daddy of snow foams, but because it doesnt have snow foam in the name is often overlooked!

RE: Recommended Snow Foam Lance

Be really careful what foam you buy. The Valet Pro PH Neutral sounds like the best overall but personally I havent used it. My neighbour is a valeter and he uses Autosmart products. It gives a brilliant foam which does cling for ages but when you check the tech sheet this product undiluted is pH13 which is the same as bleach and oven cleaner !!!!!. All of these snow foam products are traffic film removers (TFR's) and have to be aggressive to give the results they do. Just remember they are also stripping off polish and if left on too long - the paint (particularly white which doesnt have the same laquer protection). Buyer beware.
