The Ebay dispenser is made up as required for different pressure washers & capacity requirements. I've had one for three years with no issues. I've always used the low Ph - high priced snow foam - I can see why you would want to keep the cost down if your only going to use it 4 times a year but the dispenser can be used for shampoo as well

IMO snow foam is overrated unless used with industrial high powered hot pressure washers - it may take some residue of dirt off but doesn't create a fresh clean look unless of course I've been using it wrong for the last 4 years 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Ive got one of those ebay guns, works really well. It seems to be a copy of a much more expensive branded one (chemical guys or meguiars or something) and was the recommended gun on detailing world. I use it with some 'autobrite magifoam' which seems to work pretty well, I leave it to dwell for about 10 minutes then blast it off and it makes a difference.

I got the one with the knob on top and works well, got it from Halfords for around £12, I am using Gtechniq W4, removes most of the dirt so very little dirt ends up on the mitt. |

Ive got one similar to peachy's & had it about 7 years,,the snow foam I use is valet pro PH neutral as it doesn't strip the polish or wax off the car..in fact Ive just done my truck about a hour ago.

Neither of them, you will just get white water, they are only good for things like patio cleaners, but as for producing foam, no chance. Get one of these, http://www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/was...tings.html And just ask the guy to Ptfe the fitting for you. Ps snow foam is meant as a prewash, something you do before every wash, to help remove any crap before you actually stick sponge/mitt to paint work. Plus 1 for valet pro ph neutral snow foam, also bilt hammer auto foam comes highly recommended Wearing VAlet Pro ph neutral snow foam. [URL=]

The genuine karcher one is useless. Get a variable snow foam bottle as the boys say. Been using them for years. Just order a spare filter gauze. |

You won't be disappointed Andy K,,best thing is put warm to hot water in bottle then add the snow foam.
