Karcher k4 and snowfoam
« on: June 16, 2013, 01:12:00 am »
I've just got a karcher k4, which has a bottle that mounts to the back for detergent. Can I just fill this with snowfoam or do I still need to buy a snowfoam lance?

Cheers
Russ

This is the one I have:

To be honest, all of the ones you can find on wash product sites are almost identical, you can't really go wrong if they're round the £40 / £50 mark  :happy2:
