HD Foam Lance

What is a foam lance? Why are they useful? At the simplest level, a foam lance is any device that attaches to a pressure washer and mixes a shampoo-based product with the flow of water to produce thick clinging foam. Most pressure washer manufacturers produce a foam lance attachment for their units, but some do not work very well. Karcher, for example, is one such popular manufacturer that makes excellent domestic pressure washers, but their foam lance attachment doesn't produce very thick foam, which limits its effectiveness. Thus, many enthusiasts have looked to aftermarket suppliers for alternative lances, and of these latter products, the best currently on the market is the HD Foam Lance, offered here with a choice of fitments for most popular pressure washer types.

The idea behind applying thick clinging foam to the car before washing is simple and the benefits are obvious. If you apply a generous coating of suds to dirty surfaces and allow them to cling in situ for many minutes at a time, the emulsifiers and surfactants have longer to work and therefore dissolve and suspend a lot more dirt and grime. By the time the foam is eventually rinsed off, much of the dirt and grime is simply washed away, leaving relatively clean surfaces behind ready for a two bucket wash by hand. Clearly, the major benefit here is that the bulk of dirt removal is done before a wash mitt is placed on the car, which greatly reduces the risk of inflicting fine scratches and marring during the subsequent hand-washing process.

The HD Foam Lance is built to last. The nozzle is constructed from solid brass, giving it excellent long-lasting performance and durability. The adjustable foaming tip and Karcher fitment adaptor are all made of heavy-duty plastic, while the reservoir itself is made from chemical-resistant polyethylene. The multi-ratio injector offers a wide range of dilution rate adjustability via a large top-mounted control dial, allowing you to fine tune the level of foam produced. You will be amazed by the foaming power of this foam lance, and once you have adopted it into your wash routine you will not look back. For best performance and long-term value for money, we recommend using the HD Foam Lance in conjunction with Meguiars Hyper Wash.
