[Steve46]

Hey

im looking at getting the following bits

Pressure Washer (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7151062/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CGarden+and+DIY%7C14418702/c_2/3%7C15701048%7CPressure+washers%7C14418805/c_3/4%7Ccat_14418805%7CElectric+pressure+washers%7C144 18806.htm?engine=froogle&keyword=Nilfisk+C110.3-5+X-tra+Pressure+Washer.&_$ja=tsid:11527|cc:|prd:7151062|cat:garden+%26+diy +%3E+pressure+washers+%3E+electric+pressure+washer s)

Foam Lance (http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-lance-various-fittings/prod_371.html)

Foam (http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/valet-pro-ph-neutral-snow-foam/prod_500.html)

Will all that work together or will i need anything else, also would i be able to buy a longer hose for it?

[P90PTS]

You'll need the kew/alto fitment for the lance.

I don't use that foam anymore, actually have 5l of it in the garage doing nada. But do hear good reviews.

[Steve46]

cheers ver much mate :), um so how does the snow faom work, do i just pour that into the containter on the snow foam lance and then just spray? or does it need mixing with anything?

haha do you? wer bouts you to mate?

[P90PTS]

The VP Foam you put about 2 inches of mixture and then top up with hot water then attach it to the PW and you're good to go.

Im about 9 hours away from you.

[Steve46]

Ah ok thats cool, so that lance is a good one yeah, same price as the PW haha :)

is that an alryt PW?

also can i get a longer hose?

[saxovtsmad]

i bought my foam lance from the link below steve and the bottle is 1 1/2 litre and its £5 cheaper than cyc they also do foam

ah wicked, that will fit on with that PW if i get the KEW/Alto adapter

[P90PTS]

Yeah you should be able to pick up an extension to your hose.

Mick - The size of the bottle doesn't matter, as if you're using 1.5L of snowfoam on a car then you're just wasting it.

If i got that one, should i just stick in 2inches still then fill it mostly up with the warm water

[saxovtsmad]

ive got the pv foam with a dispencer i gave 2 to 3 squirts of foam and 1 squirt of chem guys wash and wax then topped up with warm water

[P90PTS]

Yeah still 2 - 2.5 inches, then fill with hot water. What ever is left you can leave in the bottle just make sure you cap it.

ah i was looking at that squirter, worth getting it isit? , worth adding wash and wax with the mix isit?

[Steve46]

Yeah still 2 - 2.5 inches, then fill with hot water. What ever is left you can leave in the bottle just make sure you cap it.

should i add wash and wax? or just use the snow faom,

then wash with my megs gold class after?

[P90PTS]

I don't use wash and wax, i use a much better shampoo bud. But yes you can add some wash n wax or Maxi Suds II in the bottle and snow foam, but you still need to wash afterwards, too many people think that a snowfoam replaces the washing stage.

The pump dispenser is handy if you do have a big 3.8L bottle of product.

[saxovtsmad]

i always wash after snow foaming

ok ill just use the snow faom then wash off, then wash with my megs gold class stuff :)

yeh i heard some people say jsut foam it then its done lmao

works out alot cheaper to buy a 3.8l bottle of it yea?

[P90PTS]

Well a litre is like 6 quid and 3.8L is 14ish so yes.

The foam I use is more expensive but at the same time is much better imo.

[Steve46]

which foam do you use, got a link to it on CYC, gna buy some other bits off der?

and the one i got the link to how much is that? literage

[saxovtsmad]

yes it does work out cheaper and its better buying in bulk if you know what i mean

[saxovtsmad]

[P90PTS]

You've gotta buy from Mark personally at Autobrite for the coloured stuff as it's not for public sale yet.

Shits n Gigs is just a saying buddy basically just for some fun.

[Steve46]

[browne174]

i bought the cyc foam lance and i use Megs Hyper Wash in it

The Hyper Wash is dear enough but it lasts forever, takes very little to do the job :y:

[Steve46]

[P90PTS]

This is hyperwash via the cyc lance

[Steve46]

still foams up pretty good :)

so what would be better the pro valet snow foam or the hyper wash, or so the snow faom first then hyper wash it ?

[P90PTS]

The snow foam and HW do 2 completely different things buddy.

I personally prefer HW but thats my preference.

[browne174]

Foams up really well although its the only product i have tried so far but im very happy with it
