FAQs

How Do You Setup And Use A Snow Foam Lance?

Connecting to your pressure washer, simply fill the bottle with 100mL of Snow Foam Detergent and 900ml warm water. Attach to your pressure washer and spray the exterior of your car. Be sure to adjust the top dial toward negative (-) for less water and thicker foam OR toward (+) for more water and wetter foam.

How Does The Snow Foam Lance Work?

Connects to the end of your pressure washer's trigger handle, in place of the rinsing attachment. The high pressure water will travel through the Snow Foam Lance and accurately mix a dilution of water and detergent through a filter to create a thick, luxurious foam. This is all enclosed in a quality brass shell and hardened plastics.

We cater for many different pressure washer brands including Karcher, Gerni, Lavor, AR Blue Clean, Hitachi, Ryobi, 1/4 Inch Quick Connectors and more. We've even fitted less popular brands such as Homelite, Jet-USA, Stihl, Hikoki, Bosch, Briggs & Stratton & Husqvarna. 

Contact us if you don't see your brand and we can assist with matching you with the right Snow Foam Lance connector.

Do I Still Scrub The Car?

The Snow Foam system of washing focuses on swirl-avoidance over contact-avoidance.

We still scrub the car to dislodge stubborn dirt that the touchless pre-wash isn't able to remove. We do so with more confidence knowing a wash mitt isn't directly trying to forcefully wipe multiple layers of dirt like that of conventional washing methods.

The most important thing you can do to get the best results is to start with the best quality products. All snow foam products aren’t the same.

Do I need to use Snow Foam's Detergents?

Our snow foam lance and detergents are made to work together efficiently. Once you mix the detergent with water as instructed, attach it to the pressure washer and adjust the dial to the preferred foaming consistency.

When using other brand's detergents, you may need to use more solution to achieve the same results which can become costly in the long run. Our Snow Foam Detergents are highly concentrated and require only 100mL per 900mL of water.

How Long Do I Leave Snow Foam On For?

Leave Snow Foam on for at least 5 minutes avoiding any sunlight if possible.

As a general rule, you want to rinse the first layer off before it dries onto the paint.

Does the Snow Foam Lance and Gun spray the same thick foam?

No, the Snow Foam Gun is specifically for garden hose use. Garden hoses provide around 50psi of pressure, which isn't enough for extremely thick foam. Instead the Gun shoots a wet foam similar to the consistency of a bucket wash. 

For the thickest foam available, please see our Snow Foam Lance options which require a pressure washer to accompany it. We recommend a 1800psi+ pressure washer with 8L/min flow rate.

Cost Efficient Car Washing

Only 100mL Per Wash

The Snow Foam OG+ Lance requires only 100mL of our Snow Foam Detergent range. Diluted with 900mL of water, it makes for cost efficient washing.
