Snow foam recommendations required

Post by Coupe_Dave » Fri Feb 09, 2024 5:34 pm

Hi there,

I’m looking for recommendations

I have been using demon shine snow foam for about 18 months with my K2 Karcher and the standard karcher lance or nozzle, whichever you want to call it without a problem.

About 2 months ago my nozzle stopped working, just water came through, so i thought it was broke and bought a new one.

Now the new one does the same, i ‘think’ demon snow foam has started putting wax in to the mixture and this is blocking the nozzle. i am currently soaking the lance in citric acid trying to clear it.

But, can anyone recommend either a lance to cope with demon shine or a different snow foam that works with a Karcher nozzle ??

What are you guys using ??

I use this. It’s concentrated so lasts a while.

+1 for the Bilt Hamber - I've been using it for over year now and only just about to start on my 2nd bottle. I also use it with the Karcher lance and it goes on great :thumbsup:

I prefer the Bilt Hamber Touchless as it's very slightly lower pH than AutoFoam (neither are pH neutral :( )and it's 'sugar' based rather than alkaline based like the AutoFoam. My P.I.R is 5% and I let it dwell 5 minutes. Shifts the dirt superbly, especially if you have a decent last stage protection (wax/sealant) applied. It's also slightly cheaper than AutoFoam :thumbsup:
