Just got myself a Gilmour Foam Lance & some Snow Foam. Try as I might, I can't seem to get the car covered in foam like the photos show. Tried adjusting the lance right up to the max setting which did make the foam stay on the car a bit longer but it didn't seem to shift the dirt any better. Stripped the wax off a treat though & left some hard to remove residue behind which I don't thing was the intention. Am I doing something wrong or am I expecting too much from the equipment? ------------- AndyS Live each day as if it's your last - one day it will be. http://www.photostick.co.uk/view-933_BaurSig1.jpg" rel="nofollow">

A friend of mine had the same problem with a foam lance atttched to a Karcher, believe his was sorted by replacing the foam lance. -------------

Gilmour is rubbish IMHO even more so if your water pressure is poor Its only an over priced Horse soaping machine
Only thing for foam is a foam gun for power washer washer ------------- Previous: E36 318is coupe, E36 323i coupe, E30 316 saloon, E30 318 saloon, E46 330ci Sport Conv E92 325d M Sport(3.0),With Loads of gadgets Current: 116i Sport F20 |

Gee! That's really helpful. Where were you when I was asking for recommendations? Water pressure is fine. ------------- AndyS Live each day as if it's your last - one day it will be. http://www.photostick.co.uk/view-933_BaurSig1.jpg" rel="nofollow">

Sorry to say Andy, but the gilmour is not that great. I have tried the gilmour and I bought the new hose attachment that karcher has to allow you to use karcher tools through your hose pipe. Both just dont have the pressure needed to create a good coating of foam ------------- |
