Do you have a pic of the fixing? I have the lance but with karcher attachment.

Hi

I had the same issue....two power washers from the same company - each with different fiitings.

Problem was quickly and easily solved by sending photos of the connector on the lance to Autobrite (

I dealt with a chap called Mark Moss via : sales@autobritedirect.co.uk

Next day I had two correctly supplied snow-foam attachments for my pressure washers. Perfect.

Hope that helps

ok, thanks to all - turns out with was a lavor fitting and fits perfectly. I got a litre of valet pro snow foam and the instructions say "dilute to suit foam system"! - wtf ? By that do they mean the plus/minus adjustment on it ? It also says 25ml to 50ml per car - so i put that amount in the bottle tht comes with the lance and presumably the water goes straight in from the input to the ket washer - or do i need to put liquid in the bottle too?

Thanks

I did a 1:5 mixture, so filled up the bottle with 20% concentrate, then added hot water to it to fill it up .

I use about a third of the bottle for each application, so all in all works out ok.

With that ratio, I get the following result:

This is the bottle:

I usually put about an inch of snow foam in the bottle and fill up with warm water like pvr said.The plus and minus adjuster changes the spary of the foam ie thiner/thicker.The car should be fully covered in thick foam if it's done right.I then spray mine on with heated water aswell as i have a hot water presure washer

great - thanks - wish I could connect mine to hot water but cant - oh well

PVR i see you have the new foam lance.............how does it compare to the old one (assuming you had the old type) as my bottle has just broke.

Never had the old one, got the brass one straight away (I assume you are referring to the breaking issue? )

The pin on mine is loose and the neck of the bottle has cracked.........time for a new one me thinks
