snow foam lance

[bluespit]

I know nothing about this so i'm looking for some advice.

Ive seen these things that attach to a pressure washer and cover the car in foam.

When I do my weekly car wash I always do at least two cars and sometimes all 4 and anything that can improve my productivity and result is welcomed. I'm not a 'detailing nut' but I do like to end up with a nice clean dry car, including alloys and tyres.

I have the idea that the foam might save me using alloy wheel cleaner and traffic film remover. Perhaps I could spray the cars with foam and then use my autoglym shampoo to wash the cars over before rinsing, then drying with microfibre cloths.

which one would folk recommend if any?

Autobrite Snow Foam lance is a good starter buddy

Also Autobrite Magifoam is ok as a starter foam too

A better value and i think better foam is Bilt Hamber Auto Foam most Bilt Hamber products are great i use there shampoo, wheel cleaner & Wax too

I might be in the minority but I am pretty let down with the snow foam I use.
It doesnt seem to remove that much more than just jet washing the car with no soap at all.
I still do it now and again but feel its a step that adds time and gets almost no results.

I second everything Hopz has said, Autobrite Snow Foam Lance and Autobrite Magifoam together are very good!
And Bilt Hamber products are the dogs nads!

I use Magifoam with the Autobrite Snow Foam lance to start off with on a dry car, leave 10/15mins then rinse with pressure washer before shampoo and wash mitt.
A lot of snow foam lances claim that with fully waxed car, you should just be able to foam up, leave, rinse and that will be enough to clean the car regularly without needing to do full wash. I've never really found it works that well like that. It does however work well to soften / loosen dirt, traffic film and remove any grit etc, so there is less risk of scratching the paint work when shampooing.

Also consider the chassis cleaner. A few of us have this and its great for getting the winter salt off
