OP - I bet it looks even better in person than in the photos.

I recently spent over £200 on a foam lance and polish and stuff like that ( blackfire products) and after 4 1/2 hours of cleaning and drying and buffing, it looks better than it did out the showroom.

Why is this Question
Because after you wash them 2 miles down the road they need doing again Question Whistle
Or as the S.........y looks better and cleaner you won't have to do them so often so less work Question Whistle

Foam Lance

Having read this thread with some interest - Any recommendations on the best type of Foam Lance to go for?

I have a Karcher 4 series pressure washer and I imagine all makes of Foam Lance haver Karcher adaptors available for attaching to the trigger head or can you advise.
