Does the karcher one foam up the same?

I'd rather pay half the price for karcher than double it for a plastic bottle.

Bit of a gimick as you'll soon get fed up of having to hook up the pressure washer each time you want tot use it.

John - the BH autofoam doesn't create as thick foam - it just cleans. BH themselves said they didn't set out to create a shaving foam, just a product that cleans. The name Autofoam is a bit misleading I suppose.

No not at all, it's a PH neutral formula that is designed to work with well maintained surfaces.

I feel that snow foam to an extent is a gimmick too - I now only use BH Autofoam on really well maintained vehicles (such as my own or ones on care plans) or Autosmart Hazsafe, which is a non caustic TFR which is about the safest TFR you can get.

You can change the consistency of the foam coming out of the lance using the knob on the top.

I didnt have it set to the thickest as that drank all my solution

And more to the point it came out all splodgey and was hard to spray so made it more 'watery'.

Also, had run off the car a bit by the time i had stopped, balance my lance up and went in the house to get my phone

There is more than enough foam coming out of it, trust me, it went everywhere

if u use snowfoam then aye.

stuff i got is autosmart shit..... strips wax off tho so i only use it when i'm gonna actually give the car a polish afterwards.

i'll foam up one of the motors next weekend an fire sum pics over if u want a swatch.

as for the size of the bottle......... i use a full bottle on a car... so the massive ones that come on the other lances wud do more than one car etc and multiple use.

It doesn't look as good on pictures when your half way through washing your car.

So true Joe

I've heard buckets can give the car bad aids, unless you use a zymol sponge.

Extra TL money
