Foam Lance

Cool no probs.
The foam lance is the same one we've been bringing in for the past 2 years. Works well and will only fit the Karcher K series. I rate it a must have in my washing routine because I strongly feel the more dirt you can remove in your prewash, the less the risk of scratching your paintwork during the wash process.

We only bring them in for the K series as it just keeps the ordering process simple BUT :idea:
Maybe we can get a list of those who would be interested with other pressure washers ?
We can then order those units separately.

Why not ? :joy:

I bought that Verimark Gorilla Spray gun 8-in-1. What a waste of money.:thumbdo:
I need to fill that little shamppo bottle a couple of times while washing the car or have to move really quick around the car. Also, the damn hose keeps shooting out wetting me and everything else :thumbdo:
How does your product ovecome this problem?
Thanks Bud

Firstly, the business end of this thing and ANY decent foam lance uses brass which is rated to handle the pressure and not some cheap plastic.
Secondly, this thing (and any decent foam lance) has a variable control knob that lets you control how much water/ concentrate mix exits the nozzle. Typically, you can cover your car 2x with really thick proper foam, and still have some mix left in the bottle.
Thirdly, you have a much larger reservoir of mix (concentrated shampoo and water) to work with than the cheapie "lances".
Fourthly, you can control the spray diameter from the nozzle (on this one and any decent foam lance), so it can spray in a vertical line 2-3cm in with and about a metre in length, or open it all the way and have it just spurt suds, most of which will land on the floor anyway. careful calibration of all the above will give optimum results.
Fifthly, the thing uses a specially designed mating device to connect the lance to your Karcher gun so that it cant accidentally slip off, even under pressure.
Finally, this is not a verimark product that is produced by the millions on a high defect production line with a philosophy that if it breaks, we will continue to give the customer a new one until eventually we give him one that would have passed the quality standard checks (if we did have them).
Most importantly, remember that many of these things are a, you et what you pay for type of thing. A R199.99 (or whatever the price is) cannot do the same job as a high quality engineered product.
Just to be clear, I do not own the crazy detailer foam lance. I actually imported mine from the UK in 2012.
Works like a treat and price was great.
If you are into properly washing your car, a foam lance is a necessity.
If you are going to do something, do it properly, or not at all, but that's my opinion anyway.

The Foam lance will do two passes over the entire vehicle easy from the 1 litre bottle. I mix about 30-40ml of snowfoam with hot water. So you use less product as well. Those spray gun thingies are more of soap dispensers than anything. You would get the same results if you had to use the Karcher built in soap dispenser to be honest.
This is the CD foam cannon in action. To be fair, the setting is set to "jet" not even spray (which should generate even more foam) but you get the idea.

Not quite. The foam lance will only work with the Karcher high pressure machine. The pressure of the machine is what generates the foam. You do get the foam masters overseas that work with the hose pipe but they are just as expensive as the foam cannon and still not as effective.
