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?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KARCHER-FOAM-LANCE-BOTTLE-SNOW-FOAM-CAR-WASHER_W0QQitemZ220527772067QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM?hash=item33587ac1a3#ht_777wt_1165
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:
