Recommended Posts

Whats the best option decent foam lance for my pressure washer or something like the Gilmour Foamaster II ?

I have a basic foam attachement for my pressure washer but it leaks and dosnt produce that good results....Its just a generic pressure washer not a Karcher....

I was thinking of getting something like the Gilmour Foamaster II giving it a coat of snow foam with that leave it to soak then pressure wash off then reapply with the gilmour and use my lambswool mitt.

Would this be a good option or am I better going with a decent foam lance for my pressure washer ?

Also I am sure I read somewhere there is a forum member discount for elite car care is that still the case ?

Wheres the best place to get the AutoBrite Foam Lance ? and can people recommend a karcher model I might get a new pressure washer whilst I am at it...

You can only get the AB Lance from Auto Brite Direct. Halfords currently have discount on Karchers - I got the K4.99M for £110 and it is tops. I hear the K3.99M is also very good and thats is about £90 I think.

This is the results I get:

WIll it work on all models, I think that deal is in store only they dont have the karcher model you mentioned on the website...

Yep that looks like the one!

You're right they have removed the K4.99M however the K3.99M should do a similar job and they have that on their site.

I ordered the Autobrite lance on Sunday evening - arrived today. Certainly looks a prepoer bit of kit. Also got 5L of snow foam thrown in - a January special direct from AB. Mine will be hooked up to my K4.99M Karcher pressure washer

might give it a go at the weekend grin.gif

Just wondering how far to open the detergent tap on top of the lance confused.gif

Not the case! In fact, just about all the decent traders do them (myself included.)

To be absolutely honest, I can't beat Rachel @ Autorae chems deal on ebay. You get the lance, plus 5l free snow foam (which is exactly the same foam as mine - So I can attest to it being good!)

Experiment mate - in the pic of mine above its set to full grin.gif

When you say its set to full does that mean fully turned round in the + direction. I thought going towards the - sign gave me more foam but maybe its more wattery and therefore not as clingy.

ahaydock - autobrite do not make a foam lance. they just re-sell the same ones all the other traders sell. I have no idea how it became to be known as an 'autobrite/AB lance!'

Karcher (that is the yellow bottle thingy) is a totally different thing.

Cheers Paul, thought that may be the case 169144-ok.gif

So what is the differance apart from the size of the bottle between the Autobrite one & the one's from other suplliers and which one is also better.

The bottles are the same. As I said, they are identical, from the same place.

BUT, there are two lances. Standard and HD. One has a red dial, one has a black dial on the top. Generally, the HD one comes with a 1l bottle, and the standard one comes with a 500ml bottle. But, you can put a 1l bottle on the standard one as long as you put a longer pick up pipe on it.
