    I have the previous version of foam gun from Polished Bliss, which is good and foams pretty well but does not attach to a power washer, it just works off the std. hose.

    If anybody, who doesn't use a power washer, wants to buy this then it's their's for £20.

    I'm upgrading to the one linked above.

    Cheers for the feedback. Agree with the neighbours, must think to themselves wtf

    Another thing i use my foam lance for is washin the house windows, gets the worst of the sea spray off the windows, and if you use the Autobrite lance / Polished Bliss lance you can adjust nossle and the foam can reach the upstairs windows.
    Now that gets the Neighbours staring lol

    TY Guys. I don't have luxury of driveway so my hose stretches 30 metres or so to front of house. Will pressure washer and snow lance still operate okay?

    Word of warning

    I got a Karcher from my folks last year for my birthday, had no issue at all with it but 11 months in the plastic pump has split and has rendered it useless Warranty will not cover it, can't seem to find parts to repair it so it's not lasted very long. After a little investigation, Karcher use plastic pumps on most washers up to the value of about £250-300. Above that they've all got brass fittings. There's quite a few forums discussing problems with them.

    My dad's used a Kew washer for about the last 15 years without a ny probs, although it's finally given up - on/off switch failed, which can probably be repaired.

    Having said that, Makro were doing a Karcher petrol washer (brass) for £149 a few weeks ago - wish I'd grabbed a few of them

    Apart from that, the Nilfisk seem to be pretty good quality (we've got some Nilfisk equipment at work & it's built to last).

    Only trouble with Snow Foam is it's strips your wax. Meguiar's Hyper Wash foams just as well and is safe
