Would like to get a foam lance for my Karcher. The model I've got is the KB2020B. Any suggestions on the best place to get one?
Does it work with "fairy" or do you have to buy a special soap? Any help / advice appreciated.

I got mine from polished bliss as long as you order the right fitment it will fit :) and you need the right foam for it :)

I have the autobrite one. It's the o e with the plastic connector ;). Don't get the one with the brass connector as they are incredibly difficult to change over... :frown:

I have used Megs hyper wash and also magifoam and the magifoam is better ;). It's also made by autobrite ;)

I know I'm thick, but it looks like the foamer doesn't have to be connected to a high pressure hose, it can also work from a normal hose? Or am I missing something?

The hd foam lance is made to work with a pressure washer and it gives a better result .... The Gilmour foam lance works with a hose but doesn't give as good a result ;)

I have both the foam lance and the Gilmour. The foam lance does its job but don’t expect your car to be clean after use, it will take muck off and that’s always good before you go near it with a mitt and get into the habit.

the Gilmour I got first and still use more or less as my wash bucket. I put some megs hyper in it and use it with my mitt and have a rinse bucket.
