I recently bought a karcher foam lance and some super snow foam from cyc, before i bought it i did alot of looking around and people seemed to be raving about foam lances but i'm not that impressed with mine

does anyone have any tips: dilution ratios, techniques whatever

it is a 0.6L bottle and i normally fill up approx. 2cms of snow foam and 1cm AG shampoo conditioner then fill the rest up with water.

i foam one side of the car move round to the next and the side i have just done is pretty much clear, the foam just falls of straight away

Thanks

It's probably the lance, Using my standard one on my niffsk the same happens & it's crap. Even with a super strong ratio it creates weak unsticky useless foam..

I got an autobrite one & it is fantastic I use a squirt of maxi suds & a few cm of super snow foam which creates very thick foam :)

i only shake mine to dry ;)

to op get a proper foam lance theres a few on the market and iirc are about 340 - £50, if you have a look through detailingworld.com they have offers on sometimes with snowfoam which tend to be for around the same amount
