Burna Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Peter - I don't have a pressure washer, but could be tempted to get one if you can recommend one that would: a) be useful but, b) won't break the bank? ...I suspect these are conflicting requirements, but it's worth asking all the same. You buy the lance and you can come round and use it on my pressure washer I may ask to borrow it to have a go on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I already bought one and yehaa what a great bit of kit. I have however one complaint. the bloody thing won't stand up very well even when full which annoys the cr*p out of me. Is there some sort of special trick to make it free stand up when you put it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 rest it in the bucket you should have two if you are doing it properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yeah but won't it float if its empty and the bucket is full? I was hoping you had some clever trick Whilst we are on the subject how long are you meant to leave snow on the car and at what stage are you meant to apply it?

peter richards Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 if the car is filthy , say ten mins , then rinse off , theres no hard and fast rule . i apply a second layer prior to me then washing the car adds that extra lube . as for the bucket its before the wash so its empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_vr6 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 How odd, I spray my car, remove the lance from the power washer and it stands up all by itself on the concrete. Then again I tend to keep my bottle full up anyway so I guess that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it off straight away after using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 once you have foamed then detach it from the gun and put the lance back together ready to power wash off the foam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Pete PM me what I need complete and cost please. Its for me but not sure what pressure washer to buy? or borrow IYKWIM..;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have a question, not knowing anything about snow foam, it is obviously a cleaner/detergent pre wash, what i want to know is, my Supra sits on a main road, and therefore suffers from all the crap from passing cars when wet, so it ends up with a coating that i cant even get off with my pressure washer, so will snow foam get all the dirt/grease/crap off? and if it doesn't happen to be to bad during the summer, do i still need to use a sponge/mitt? IE just hose it off? Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 yes the foam like you say is a pre wash stage , the idea being to lift and soften the grime before you go at it with the mitt . as you dont really want to rub the grime off even with the mitt you are likely to mark the paintwork, if the car on that side is very bad then maybe a second coat then PW off then wash as normal. on very dirty cars i always use a degeaser on the lower parts before i apply the first coat of snow foam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Thanks for that, might have to invest in your kit if there still available, will have to check out my pressure washer, as its quite old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
