Snow foaming and pressure washers.

[manta]

Oh hai guys!

Been thinking about getting a pressure washer for a while something like this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_37 2861_langId_-1_categoryId_165689.

Cheap n cheerful I think and I was wondering what the dealio is with snowfoaming do you wash the car first or just snowfoam it? Guess I would need something like this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_37 2811_langId_-1_categoryId_165569.

Thanks

Rob

You snowfoam the car first to break down any dirt etc. which will start to run off the car, after 5 mins or so rinse the car, thus making the hand washing process easier and safer for the paintwork.

That pressure washer is pants tbh and certainly don't get that attachment.

Snow lance wise something like this Click (http://shop.autobritedirect.co.uk/foam-lance-by-autobrite-various-connections-305-p.asp) with the kew/alto attachment

Then team it up with this pressure washer Click (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7151062/Trail/searchtext%3ENILFISK.htm) if your after something cheapish

that's about it

The nilfisk alto c110 pressure washer is perfect.....not just because its cheap, because it works really well and is very reliable.

Even comes with a 2 year warranty.....now imo for £50 thats bloody impressive!!

I have a Nilfisk 110 PW it's great.... only problem I have is the snow foam bit doesn't snow that much. Now I'm using that maxi-suds stuff, is that right or do i need a dedicated snow foam mixture?

Maxi suds wont produce enough foam to cling imo....i would get some ph neutral snow foam (valet pro).

Okay cheers. I've got to put an order in to CYC soon anyway for my mate... He was WELL impressed with that stuff when I washed his the other day.

I wouldn't mind but he's got a new DAS-6 for christmas yet has NOTHING to wash and prep his car lol.
