Kränzle K1152 TST bought - now what do I need?

[gstar]

Hi advisors - finally parked the yellow machine for a Kränzle. I now need (or rather like the idea of) the following:

1. Snow Foam Lance; and
2. Snow Foam product

I am steering towards:
1. Kranzle Snow Foam Lance (keep it in family of attachments) or should I consider another and why?
2. Autoglym Polar vs Bilthamber Snow vs Chemical Maxi Suds II. Any of these preferable / why or have I missed one?

I have spent the budget on Kranzle so keen not to give myself too much of a dent going forward - so looking for some sanity and value.

Will work on wash shampoo + mitt/s... for another day.

Thanks

I recently had the Autoglym foam lance and got some of the autoglym foam at the same time. Quite impressed so far, used many lances and foams over the years and this seems to be a good combo.

The MJJC snow foam lance is the best I’ve used. Most YT detailers use it too.

I have the same Kranzle, brilliant bit of kit.
Just remember to always turn the water supply on before plugging the unit in, too easy to forget to turn the unit's own switch off when you last used it (goldfish brain here has done it couple of times, no damage but can't do it any good) so when you plug the unit into the mains again it fires straight up on a dry pump.

I use quick release fittings (easy buy off ebay) at the end of the pipe and lance, because i also use the washer for blasting the foul water drains out via a proper drain jetter pipe, which is also a handy item to run down the inside of 4x4 ladder chassis at low pressure to clean out all the muck that gets inside.
Make sure any quick release fittings you buy are rustproof (stainless or brass), rust particles are big enough to block the jet nozzle, not the end of the world if you get a blockage the nozzle end all comes apart if you need to clean the jet out or replace it.

You shouldn't need to buy a snow foam dispenser, i've recently bought some ''Dirtbusters cherry snow foam shampoo with polymer wax super thick foam 2 x 5 litres'' off Amazon, it goes on snow foam like just using the normal Kranzle lance in chemical mode, does a good job and leaves a lovely smell on the driveway.
Haven't tried Bilt Hambers version, its probably really good going by their other products, the DirtBusters cherryfoam seems good value because you can dial the chemical mixer screw right back, after washing the two cars 3 times i've got through about 1/4 of the first 5 litre bottle, it even does the alloys well, but i don't let brake dust get ingrained.

Thanks for input here - decided to pull trigger on Kranzle Snow Foam Lance Q/R (135303) and set of Autoglym Polar/ Wash and Seal.... Will aim to post photos here over w/end of my effort.
