Auto Glym Polar Blast

[Leehoops]

Hi guys I bought some of the above as I was after some kind of snow foam , so I mixed it 100ml to 500ml of water as it stated this as a starting point ! In to a pump action squirter , shook it all up and started spraying on the van but I wasn’t getting anything like a coverage of foam but a poor splattering of suds but no matter what I did I couldn’t get it properly covered ! So I tried using this with my pressure washer instead which was a little better but still I didn’t get the desired affect ! Does anyone have any ideas what I could be doing wrong ? Thanks

Any pics of what your using ie foam lance etc?.

The jet wash has a separate bottle attachment as you can see in the pic but there is no adjustment as to the mix

This won't help you, (sorry) but it works fine in my foam lance / pressure washer set up at the dilution you stated. Does your foam lance work with other products?

Those attached bottles a crap. You need a snow foam attachment for your pressure washer, I got mine off eBay.

Ah, sorry, just seen your pics. That's not a foam lance and it won't work. You need something like this:

That’s the type. Ensure you get the right one to connect to your pressure washer... Karcher etc...

What they said,buy a decent one and you'll be fine. About £30 ish should get you one.

Fantastic thanks guys I’m on the case my mate is a manager at b&q so I’ll give him a buzz tomorrow and see if they have one to fit my karcher

As above i use the polar blast and put it through a inline bottle, so you will be fine

B&Q won’t have a proper snow foam Lance, if you want snow foam to foam properly you need a dedicated foam Lance. A karcher (or other similar brand) in line bottle or foam sprayer will not give you the foam you want. It will work to some extent, but the dedicated foam Lance is the proper job.

something like in the link below, you can specify the connector depending on which pressure washer you have.

Just stuck this on another thread but the lance I refer to works a treat... See photo in this thread. Polar Blast and Magifoam both do this with the MJJC lance.

Ok guys so this one won’t be any good

I have a similar Karcher lance and bottle. Wasn't impressed to be honest. Hence why I bought the MJJC one. Cant say for certain but suspect the MJJC is a generic bottle branded by various other companies. It's certainly looks similar to more expensive bottles. Either that or it's just a good functioning Chinese knock off.

its OK.... but you might struggle with the quantity it holds. I do know people have had problems with them

 

[Redsox]
