Pressure Washer, Snow Foam Lance & Snow Foam

[silver1011]

I had a good search but am struggling to find the best package, too much choice!

 

From the threads I've found the Nilfisk C110 is the pressure washer of choice.

 

What about the snow foam lance, the red Autobrite seems to get good reviews?

 

I noticed this deal, any good? I'm guessing I can use the 10% discount code on the Mainz site as per Chris' pinned discount thread?

 

http://www.mainzcarcare.co.uk/pressure-washers/pro-foam-lance-amp-nilfisk-c110-pressure-washer

 

£100 - 10% discount = £90 for the complete snow foam package. I can't see on the website but I think delivery is included too.

 

Anyone aware of any better deals!?

Not sure Mainz will be delivering any goods, lots of problems at the moment.

[silver1011]

Oh, that rules them out then, thanks for the heads-up

 

Anyone else out there!?

Erm I wouldn't use mainz now. Get the Autobrite foam lance. Then Krystal Kleen Detail snowfoam. Tutti Fruitti is my favourite.

Brought my Nilfisk from cleanstore - seemed good service... £60 for that one, might just about leave enough for the lance but prob not foam, for same monies but you can get lance and foam of your choice then...

Another vote for Autobrite

£60 delivered, that is a good price!

I see that the Autobrite lance was part of a great group buy but I'm not a member of DW, seems the thread is quite old too...

I'm guessing I'll need to go direct, £40 for the lance...

And £8 for the Nilfisk adaptor...

That's £108 plus snow foam.

The group buy is still running. Doesn't matter if your a member or not

Ah, that's brilliant, sounds like a no-brainer then! Thanks.

 

A quick novice question though, as I have to choose one, what's the difference between the free Super Snow Foam and the Magifoam, is it purely the dilution rates or is one product better than the other?

 

(it's taking me some time to get through all 338 pages on the DW thread   )

Magifoam is better. Apparently it's a better cleaner

Thanks lads

BUT, just seen this package on the Autobrite website...

As above minus the 500ml Super Foam, £115...

[silver1011]

The 500ml Super Foam is £8.00 so the original deal is still a few quid cheaper  :sun:

[mandp]

£60 delivered, that is a good price!

Surely, when you order your lance, you just use the drop box, indicate which connector you want and its still £40.00

Good spot, the connector is included!

 

As it is in the group buy too.

It is difficult to tell looking at pictures only, but this snow foam lance from Direct Hoses looks almost identical to the Autobrite one...

At £25 it is a good bit cheaper. Get what you pay for?

[J306TD]

Personally I would order the jet wash from cleanstore. Then get the basic deal from Autobrite with the Nilfisk adapter. Maybe try some sample snowfoams from other suppliers

They are all the same. Get the direct hoses one and then some bilt hamber auto foam. Much better than any of that autobrite stuff

[Watsona6]

Id agree with BTS22. Not overly impressed with the Magifoam.

[silver1011]

Thanks guys, seems opinions vary.

 

Looks like a bit of experimenting is in order 

 

At least the jet wash is a done deal!

I've never used any of the autobrite foams but this is what I'd do. BH Autofoam has brilliant cleaning ability and there are only a few foam lance producers, they are all much of a muchness. That way you've got all your stuff for around £45. Let us know how you get on.

[ChrisRs]

I agree with BH AutoFoam ..very good..I tried Magifoam too...Hated it.

But if you add a dash of TFR to the Snow Foam...around 1:3 ..then cleaning ability is massively increased on all Snow Foam Products without affecting your LSP

I've only used the autobrite foam from the group buy (think magifoam-banana one??) Wasn't that impressed, maybe I was expecting too much? Car chem doing 5ltr for a tenner, which I bought after recommendations on here

Just finishing up my KKD Blizzard and Blizzard Force samples i currently have;

 

...... then i'll make a start on the Car-Chem Snowfoam
