    Just a pity it was not the Bosch fitment, you’d have been more than welcome to try my lance.

    After scouring the internet and looking at numerous foam lances, i stumbled across a Karcher branded foam lance for £12 and Valetpro snow foam for £13 - Whilst this might not be the best, i'm going to give it a go, for sub £30 it is sure a lot kinder to my bank balance than the £85 i was going to spend on the other items i had selected from Clean your car.com - I'll let you all know how it goes!!

    Sometimes, i like to sit on the floor, pull my knees up to my chest, wrap my arms around my legs and tuck my head in.

    Why?.......Because that's how i roll.

    Thanks Col, that is a great deal.

    If the stuff i ordered doesn't work out, i'm going for that one, even if i have to buy two lances, i've lost a total of £12 for the Karcher one, and still less overall than the two items for £85 i originally had planned to buy.

    The VP advanced snow foam will work just as well as a pre wash in a pump sprayer
    Deposit paid ... something new this way comes!

    "FNN" and indeed "AAAR!"

    Just ordered the following:
    Snow Foam Lance
    Valet Pro - PH Neutral Snow Foam
    Meguiars Microfibre wash Mitt
    CleanYourCar Huge 'Fluffy' Drying Towel

    I'll never be in Mr. King's league, but it's a start...
