I did a search of the forums but couldn't find anything, so...
I've got a Karcher K4 pressure washer and I bought a Karcher foam sprayer to try out. Even on the strongest setting it puts a slightly runny coat of Turtle Wax snow foam onto the car and gets through about 750ml of product to clean my E-class (ie a large car).
While I'm not bothered about it looking like shaving foam, I'd like at least a few minutes of dwell time if possible.
So, onto morethanpolish.com to buy:
Heavy Duty Foam Lance (Karcher K)
Concentrated Pink Snow Foam 2.5l
With the concentrate watered down at 20:1 as per instructions I had a go with high hopes. Oh dear. I'm not sure if it was the gun or the 'foam' but even on the strongest setting it was very watery and running straight off. I used a litre of mixed product and it ran off so fast there were streaks in the surface dirt when I washed it off. Even with the Karcher/Turtle combo this didn't happen.
I'll try the Pink foam in the Karcher bottle to try to work out if the foam is the problem. I'm nearly out of Turtle Wax foam so maybe I'll buy another 5 litres and try that in the morethanpolish sprayer.
Any ideas if I'm just doing it wrong, need to make the mix stronger etc or can anybody recommend a sprayer/foam combo that works well on a Karcher K washer?
Cheers!
