Would this be any good?
« on: December 21, 2009, 09:31:59 pm »
Hi I'm after a foam lance for my karcher pressure washer as my car is covered in crud but I dont want to go straight to cleaning it with my mitt because of grit and salt etc. My question is would this be any good?

It is really cheap compared to others thats why i'm a bit cautious about it!
Thanks
Ollie :happy2:

Havent used one of those as I have the Autobrite one, but go to Halfords and you can get that particular one for £10.
If you search Detailing World they do GB's on the normal foam lance, I am looking at buying some in subject to price. Bit if your into it then get the proper one or a gilmour its worth it.

Thanks Keith.  :happy2:
Is this not a proper one? Will it not do the job? Do you think it will be worth a shot for a £10?
I'll have a look on DW!
Cheers :smiley:

It wasn't a bad as I first thought but ideally that should be 100% for less than 100 transactions tbh.

That says statistically if he does 1000 transactions, 10 will be sh1t. I hope no-one on here is one of those 10  :happy2:
