foam lance

ghetto3 · 30-09-2013, 10:57 PM

I just picked up a new karcher and foam lance to ease up the sunday fun, i'm hoping to hear what locally sourced shampoos or washes others may have used with success.
I use meg's "gold class shampoo/conditioner" as a normal wash, i also purchased the karcher mild alkaline car wash to test.
Thoughts, experiences are welcome.
Thanks modders.

well I did fix them for a bit. But I don't use them.

IMO if you car is clean and keep clean often enough. using HI-pressure cleaners can do more damage then actual cleaning. Some people spray them too hard into radiators bending the fins - seen that a lot, But mostly when people use hi end 3500psi and higher systems.

Its a K2 0.80 with a flow rate of 5.5l/min at 1450 psi, one of the lower base models.
The foam lance spreads the water in a wide pattern and it will pretty much be used only to apply an initial 'spongeless' suds-down before the usual wash.
