You can use the demon shine one, where you just attach your hose pipe to the bottle and the snow foam comes out. I used to use that a lot before.

It was ok for something that doesn’t require a big jet wash machine like you suggested.

A decent jet washer with foam bottle doesn't cost a fortune;

Damn that Nilfisk is bargain!

They dont need to be big and bulky, the mini Karcher ones are actually quite good and around £40, and lances are like £15 on ebay just have to pick the right one that attaches to Karcher.

Pressure washer + lance + snow foam = job done

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.
