Snow foam is only a good as the lance. That won't create epic snow foam goodness.

Aye, that’ll be pretty crap, same as Karchers own lance.

Get the MJJC one I linked with the right fitting for your pressure washer and job done.

I have the Karcher 2 (can’t remember the exact model name) so what lance would fit in there which will give a nice thick foam?

The PA lance sells for £40+ on uk detailing sites but you can buy it here https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/3247767 ... siteDetail

Take your pick with snowfoams, loads available.
been having a nosey around Ali express however still a bit dubious about buying any car parts from the American sellers...anyone able to shed some light?

update on my quest for snow foam i have knocked the whole at home idea on the head as the pressure washer at my work has just been revamped so i have gone with this lance
Image
which created this foam
Image
i no what your all saying thats not a lude :lol: but the one in the middle in the background is :D also thats not very snow foamy thats because i havent got any snow foam yet thats how it foamed a normal shampoo , it seems the choice of snow foam is a vast one but looks like the bilt hamber one is popular also invested in these
Image
and i got to say that silverback xl drying towel is amazing managed to dry my whole car and never had to wring it out and it still wanted more
