Wouldn't wash a car without one! When you first get one you want to foam everything!

Can you apply snow foam using the inbuilt tank on washer, or do you need the fandangerly thing on end of hose.

Ive a Karcher, quite a high spec one with the 2 chemical holding tanks built into the body of machine.

Being a driberler the easier to clean a car the better for me.

Halfords have a small foam attachment for the karcher at £18... is this likely to be cr*p as all the ones I've seen on-line are over £40?

i presume you will get a better foam with the fandangerly thing on the end,tried with the shampoo attachment that came with ours,was pretty pants,also you can adjust thickneess amount of foam,you could always try built in tank,nothing to lose...

Have a look at it,c if you can adjust it,to give you different thickness of foam,depending what snow foam you get you may need to adjust for best results...

It may help, but won't get them fully off. That is for a clay bar and a pre wax cleanser.

The snowfoam helps to shift the surface dust and crap to reduce the chance of inflicting swirls to your paintwork when you hand wash the car.

No you can buy one like this that runs of the hose

Works just as well and gets the desired effect

Fantastic - cheers for that. I have no need for a pressure washer so wouldn't to have to buy one just for snowfoam purposes!
