steve_b_wales Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'm interested in purchasing a snow foam lance with snow foam. It will be used with a pressure washer (LIDL) make. As usual, there's loads of different ones out there. Has anyone used a good one and if so, what make is it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulinlincs Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I used to use a lance from clean your car. Com but got bored of all the faff. I now use a hand held pump snow foamer from carbon collective. Easier to use and takes up less room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I use Screwfix no nonesense degreaser £9 for 5 litres. I put it in a hozelock type diluter bottle and attach it to the hose. Makes a great job of the car. The bottle I have has a turn switch for water and the detergent. Foams up well. The degreaser smells like Teepol and works as well as Muckoff. I am thinking about trying one of these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Snow-Foam-Spray-Gun-Car-Wash-Sprayer-Lance-Uses-Hose-Pipe-1L-1000ML-Bottle-UK/154200433298?_trkparms=ispr=1&hash=item23e70fe292:g:KwMAAOSwRdFgwGOG&amdata=enc: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|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2334524&pageci=1c1420fa-68fd-4d40-a30a-2bdcf2c28939&redirect=mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aa said just get a snow foam Lance from the likes of clean your car and some good quality snow foam. It is a faff though, unless you’ve got plenty of time on your hands. i used to regularly spend whole days cleaning my car going back some years and really got into ‘detailing’, I never realised there were so many products and processes to get a car properly gleaming!!

The Isuzu is still very shiney as was the Mokka I used it on before and the Movano van before that. Its not noticeable on the Defender Wolf as thats Matt finish Nato green. Did you have a problem when you used it. 🤷♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I would not use a degreaser to wash a car. Anything that gets into a wheel arch (for example) will be also getting to the bake and suspension components, other parts that are usually lightly greased include the bonnet latch (it's bare metal, the grease is there to protect it) boot latch, door hinges, etc. A degreaser will strip ALL of that protection away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 What is this "cleaning of cars" that you lot talk about? I clean the glass on my Italian rocket, but nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I had an electrical problem on my van caused by an electrical spike when the headlamp got broken. Resulted in a secondhand ECU being fitted. The van had to go to a specialist to have the replacement ECU reprogrammed. Chatting to him he said the majority of his work came from cars that had been cleaned using pressure washers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Have a look on in2detailing website online and they do a good one. Can adjust the flow to suit your pressure washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go have a look at some of the threads on detailing world. It’s not uncommon for people to spend a full couple of days cleaning a car, some up to a week.

rovercoupe Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I do however own a snow foam attachment, it came from pro Kleen and it’s pretty good even on my little karcher I got it for the other half’s car to make cleaning a bit more fun, it’s no easier than normal washing but it does get a good amount of detergent all over the body then rub down and rinse.
