Snow foam - what to get?

MAJJ

Hi been lurking in awe of you detailers.First thought you were nuts and now am full of respect!

Have a power washer (i know to be careful). Its a basic nilfisk and have a bottle that goes on the lance.

What product would you recommend please, would like to buy only from detailing shed as I believe that's currans setup.

Thanks

The bottle that comes with the Nilfisk power washers isnt a snow foam lance. It will spread detergent and make a few bubbles but thats about it. If you want a thick foam coating that will dwell on the car for 5-10 minutes, then you need a proper lance!

Opps, forgot to recommend the OP a snow foam product!

Orchard Autocare Cotton Candy is my current favourite.....the only one Ive found that ticks all the boxes....
* Goes on nice and thick and dwells for a lengthy time
* Cleans pretty well - there is no such think as a touchless wash; i.e: snowfoam and rinse and the car will be clean...sorry, not in Ireland!
* Wont strip off your wax/sealant
* Decent dilution ratios
* Reasonably priced

Other snowfoams, may out-perform Cotton Candy in one or two of the attribute above, but that usually offsets one of the others. For example, a snowfoam that cleans extremely well, often will strip off wax/sealant pretty quickly!

Thanks Curran. Looks like I need to rethink but hope this kicks of some deals and business for you and the other posters.

Can you burst my bubble/budget by pointing out a proper lance.

Group Buys ran on BMW-Driver in the past, no issues with any and lots of snow around the country!

Curran, Does that lance have an attachment so it can be used with a nilfisk?

MAJJ

Thanks Curran.

Ded_Zebra from the link you can select which attachment there is one labelled Nilfisk/kew/alto you can zoom in to check and maybe compare to your attacments/

Yeah, the Nilfisk fitting is there....often referred to as the Kew/Alto fitting, in case you are doing searches in future!
