Wash & Wax Time . . . . . . But Which One And How?

What foam are you using and what PIR are you at. The power of the washer should not hugely matter.

Bilthamber auto foam is regarded as one of the best out there and really good value for money

Autobrite magifoam is what I was using, just ran out actually. dilution ratio is just the recommended, 1-2" in the bottom of a 1l bottle. I also got a smaller orifice for my snow foam gun.

This was my foam (best I can get it, and I've tried! although it might be the foam cannon being crap) after about a minute



My washer is only 200l/h and 2.4mpa/24bar which compared to a 'real' pressure washer is pretty low. 130bar and double the flow rate for a proper one.

Saying that, I do have an oldish draper mains pressure washer - I looked into getting a proper snow foam gun for it years ago but could never find the correct fitting for the nozzle - but this was before the days of the stubby gun which I never looked at replacing, so that may be an option!

This is the fitting on the end of the hose, so if I can get a stubby gun to fit that then I'm sorted.

Give Q washers a call what they don't know about pressure washers is not worth knowing

Ahh, god I remember now why I gave up trying to find bits to fit the draper, even trying to find a gun to fit that quick release connector is a pain! Lost the will to live already!!

Maybe I'll splash out on a nice mains pressure washer over winter...
