Re: snow lance
will this snow foam work in a normal jetwash bottle with the mist lance on ?
or does it require a special spray gun ?

Re: snow lance
well after watching a few vids on you tube im quite impressed with this snow foam. i didnt even know such a thing existed
my power wash has a soap bottle attached to the jetwash itself so i may give it a try

Re: snow lance
Do you mean your jet wash has a built-in detergent tank? my Karcher has one of these and picks up detergent at low pressure (when you back-off the lance a bit).
Unfortunately you need the correct snow lance attachment for it to work properly (and they aint cheap) you could try the thing that Bailes said about but don't know what it is

Re: snow lance
One thing that puzzles me, what's with Sam and all this

At his age I would hope there'd be a bit more

It'll be

before you know it!

Re: snow lance
Did someone shout detailing
.
I have used the cheaper versions of a snow foam lance and you will not get the same results as a true snow foam lance. Compare Welly's pic to bailes.
As Welly has said it simply a pre wash nothing more. The longer the snow foam dwells the more surface dust and dirt it will remove. Makes washing the car a doddle.
I have just completed a 3 day detail on my sat. And it looks great
. Just need it to stop bloody raining
Then I can post some pics.

Re: snow lance
Very nice too
I reckon I've got 2 cars-worth of 3-step left so might get that kit next (bet it costs a bit).

Re: snow lance
£39.00 which I think is pretty good.
Kit Contains:
GC Wash 473ml. I already use and think its the best car wash
Quik Detailer 250ml.
Clay Bar 25g
Ultimate Compound 300ml. I use this on my VW as it has hard paint I use my g220 d/a with a megs yellow pad. I then follow this with swirl x which is a paint cleaner/polish. on a megs yellow pad to refine the finish further then use this on a megs black pad as a polish just to bring the gloss level up even further.
I then seal 2 coats with nxt 2.0 with a megs black pad. Leave to set for 12 hrs.
GC Carnauba Plus Liquid 175ml. I find this makes the paint pop if you lay down nxt 2.0 and follow up with gc carnauba +
Supreme Shine Microfibres x 2 You can never have to many of these. I have around 20 now
Soft Foam Applicator Pads x 2 I have loads of these.
