    Magifoam

    Hi Jem, just put together a new Pressure washer I'd bought over the weeknd. It's a Nilfisk C120.6, badass little thing for just £99!

    The pressure suprised me when I first used it considering how tiny it is. Any way, I did a little search online to see the dilution used and most people say 100:1 or about an inch or 2 in the bottle. I measured the snow foam lance bottle and it is approx. 600 ml.

    For my trial run this morning I put around an inch of magifoam in and filled the bottle to the neck with warm water. As I sprayed it on initially the foam looked nice and thick... a few seconds later it became rather thin and the foam was pretty much just running straight off the car.

    Any help is appreciated mate.

    Cheers

    Ry

    Are you using a proper snowfoam lance, or just the supplied little bottle thing? For Snowfoam you need a proper snowfoam lance.

    This came with the package http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/14112...f13=80&ff14=95

    It said " Snow foam bottle "

    Not sure if it's the lance I need?

    What measurement of MF would you put in that lance? It seems a fair bit bigger than the bottle I used

    I normally put about an inch of foam and then top up to 2/3 full with water. It depends on how hard the local water is though.

    For some reason it sat/stuck better on some parts of the car than others.. as you can see the wing difference to bonnet and windscreen
