buy cheap buy twice......

you'll only ever buy it once, so buy the right one rather than try to do with a cheap never as good one.

Couldn't agree more with that, it's false economy to buy cheap knock off stuff that never lasts the distance.. I bought the snow foam attachment for myself last week which cost me £45, yeah it's expensive but it does the job right and I won't need to buy it again, plus you can feel it's made well and is very strong.

im not overly convinced by the 'snow foam' craze.

i have tried and tried and tried with it and in my opinion its a waste of time.

well i was informed that it would soften / remove quite a bit of the traffic film build up on the car.

I did as i was told with reccomended amounts, even putting more in than i should and it foamed loads and once left for 5 - 10 min, came back to wash off and see what it had done and to be honest it had not shifted anything...

so i went back to the good old 2 bucket and mitt method!

Have to say it doesn't take everything off the car but then again I never expected it to do that, just get rid of the worst of the surface grime and make the rest easier to shift when I came to shampoo the car, my first experience with it was pretty good, maybe you were expecting too much?

If you don't like it then maybe you could do a deal with ben-ducky for your attachment lol ;)

yes i probably was expecting too much, but never mind eh!

i found a new solution that works really well in the foam lance that i use now.

Fair play dude, it's usually the way that what one person raves about someone else thinks is garbage, good work on finding an alternative method though :)

a bloke form work just got a karcher snow lance and a tub of solution for about £50 form ebay. he said it was the cheapest he could find on the net.

Might be worth a look
