Snow foam lance

Can anyone recommend a snow foam lance for a karcher k4 washer? Lots of options on amazon and don't want to purchase rubbish.

They are all much the same, I have had 5 or 6 different ones now and they all look and operate the same. Don't buy cheap, spend around £50-60 and you will be fine.

Check out Slims Detailing, i use them for most of my car washing equipment. They have a great selection of bits including snow foam lances and adapters.

I have an autorbrite one that I've been using very regularly for many years without any issues (got 3 cars to clean).
I also bought some spare bottles to easily change between pre wash and shampoo.

Dont buy a brass head nut with a plastic bottle. Threads corrode in no time.
Buy a good plastic head nut and plastic bottle. £30+

Brass shouldn't corrode on plastic. I've not had the problem either.

Same thing, quite a lot cheaper here. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-a ... _1296.html

Cherry would have been nice but ideally i would have gone for something more exotic such as a papaya.

I have an apple wash which is not as bad as I thought it would be, apple can be a bit P*ssy.
