There are numerous brands available, so you can try a few to see what works best for you. If you do not have a pressure washer, you can use hose based lances or hand pumped foam guns, however we do recommend investing in a pressure washer if are looking at snow foaming your car, it makes it easier to apply, and also easier to wash off. If the snow foam says on the bottle to put 100ml of product and 900ml of water in a foam cannon, then instead put 10ml of product and 990ml of water in your spray bottle. This will account for the extra dilution that a pressure washer would provide. Hi Sparkly, I didn't suggest the Gilmour Foamster as I haven't personally tried one, when I tried the Super Spray I didn't get a very good foam cover and put that down to the crap water pressure at my brothers :(

As well as our testing and experience using multiple snow foam lances, we also based our recommendations on the latest research and several factors. Some of the factors that we took into consideration included the lance’s build quality (bottle and connectors), adjustability, ease of use, size, compatibility, warranty and value for money. Conclusion Using snow foam is our favourite way of pre-washing your car. Not only does it look like your car has been hit by a blizzard, but it also helps to lift away embedded bits of dirt that regular shampoo sometimes struggles to lift (think bird poo, tree sap and overspray). You don’t even need a particularly powerful pressure washer, a budget pressure washer will still be good enough. One of my favourite options is Valet Pro Citrus, which can be diluted (usually 1 part product to 8 parts water) and is very effective at cleaning whilst still being wax-safe so won’t degrade the protection on the car. Just as clay bars emerged from the professional world into mainstream car care, snow foam is now part of just about every maker’s range, and a lance to lay it on is equally important.

However, to avoid disappointment, we would advise against purchasing budget options that don’t include hardened plastic bottles and brass or stainless steel components as they won’t be very long-lasting. Depending on your water pressure, the experience of washing your car will be close to that of using a pressure washer. Even on low water pressure, you can get a rich foam cover: Simply use a lower dilution ratio and set the adjustable dial to position E. You will never want to go without again. Works brilliantly on motorcycles as well. Hose Pipe Foam Lance Details Polishing your car is a great way to fade small scratches and imperfections. Find out how with our handy guide. a>
