colsoop Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 You will need an attachemnet on your hose or jet wash to get the foam to foam up properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 as said you need a lance , it wont work from the bottles in the PW . ive got a contact where i get mine from , but i only use it on very dirty vehicles , as a prewash to loosen the dirt , i see guys foaming clean cars wtf for i dont know waste of product and time , if you want some let me know ill see if i can get it for you . i was going to do a GB on it but unless youve got the lance it wont work . plus i couldnt get a deal on the lances , so it would have worked out to expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 It's not really a detergent as such in standard form, its just a foaming agent to cling to and hopefully pull the grime from the car so you can then minimise the risk of scratching when washing. Some of them do have detergents and nice smells added to them though, at the moment I just add a bit of shampoo in there to give a bit of cleaning as well as filth dragging. I get mine from here: http://www.cleaningproductsuk.co.uk via eBay: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/AUTO-RAE-CHEM They do the citrus version that has a detergent in it but you may find this also takes a bit of wax with it whereas the basic stuff won't. I just mix a bit of Zymol autowash in with mine, smells pretty too The same company also sells the foam lances for use with the power washers, I have the HD one they advertise and it's huge amounts of fun, great thick foam. http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/detail-14-10-07/P1100357.JPG http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/detail-14-10-07/P1100361.JPG You still need to wash the car afterwards if you are doing a proper job of things but if it's well prepared and waxed up you can get away with a midweek foam and power wash and still get a nice finish without going near it. An alternative to the lance above is something like a Gilmour Foamaster gun, I have an original one of these too but don't use it now that I have the other one, gives a nice foam but not quite as thick - you can buy it from me if you want £35.00, it'll just fit on the end of a normal hose, if you have decent water pressure you'll be fairly happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
