dr_broon Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 So got a second hand karcher at the weekend and have been looking in to snow foam Lances, and wondered if anyone's used one of the 20 quid eBay ones and if they're any good?I've seen people raving about autobrite ones, but I don't really want to fork out £50 or whatever, but then don't want to waste money on something that's going to be poo 💩 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Depends how often you'd use it Simon, if you wash the car once a month it's probably worth paying the extra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Snow foam is a pre wash. Great for lifting salt etc in winter and when there is lots of grime on the car. It gets EVERYWHERE though!! And it's great fun though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Always wanted to get one for my jet wash, but as i don't have an outside tap i will wait until we move to a house. Snow foam is cool as f**k though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've had an Autobrite lance for the past 5 years and used it alot. I've friends with ebay ones. Some leak or spray water out the edges, some don't leak at all. If I bought one I'd probably wrap some PTFE tape around it to keep it watertight. Autobrite just put up a sale on their site and their lances are down to £30 + p&p or free collection in store.

dr_broon Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks all, and cheers for the link... Order placed Tried that demon shine stuff with the hose pipe attachment, and even though it's not like proper snow foam with a pressure washer it was still pretty good and made life loads easier... Made me want the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
