Snowfoam lance etc

That's very well said fuzion and I’m sure it doesn’t need more comments.

People, who feel the need to comment about the purchase cost differences, please use the general section or contact the organizations that can handle your complaint.

Apologies for the incredibly postponed delay.
We have just recently moved and staff are all over the place with annual leave which doesn't make things any easier for any of us! haha!

Excuses aside from the reply!

Regarding the Snow Foam Lances.. Autobrite's decision was solely made by Autobrite Direct as they have selected us to be one of their Australian Distributors and of course their is an agreement between us that any inquiries that are from Australia are to be forwarded to us.

We completely understand that some pricing as always with many things are cheaper on individual basis, however all our products are costed out as best to our ability providing all our customers with the best price that we possibly can do. We always attempt to add extras to kits, discounts for members and sales to make sure we are competitive and giving the best to all our customers at all times.

Please feel free to email us and ask us questions, you never know what deal or what extra goodies you may end up with sometimes! We offer the best service and advice to all our customers, including customers who just ask for advice and don't even purchase in fact to which we do not mind as we are more than happy to help anyone out with any inquiry and offer our advice and help for anything detailing related.

fuzions comments are on par on the sense that unfortunately we do have to pay customs clearance, duties, taxes and cover our costs to be able to run a business. Any small or large business owner understands that costs involved and we always try our best to ensure we can be as competitive as we possibly can.

I do not want to excuse anything, however if you are not happy with something that we may have (pricing, product usage, service etc) please do not ever hesitate to just pick the phone up and call us or email us at anytime as we will be more than happy to discuss things with you and make sure you get exactly what you are after!

All in all, the Autobrite Snow Foam Lance is definitely our favourite. We are incredibly happy with the product and the quality of this product.

(unpolitical/honest response!)

Thanks
CCP Team.

I use Nerta Carnet Jumbo 25L direct from Nerta, $10 shipping FTW.

Just for the record. If you get a snow lance get a huge pot o' foam goo, because if you get it by the litre it works out about $2 per wash. I question the usefulness of the lance - it foams up, then slides off. Sure it's fun but not really that good to clean the car. Bit of a pain to set up to.

Another thing - Car Care Products don't put up customer reviews on their product pages that are less than glowing. I've written a few honest and useful reviews of products that haven't been posted.

How much is it (really hate sites that don't put prices up)? What size is the container? How did you choose between the Jumbo and Jumbo Protect?

my last order was $168 incl. $10 courier delivery. container is 25 litres. The guy who did my opti-coat said it's what he uses, and I've used it with great results ever since. I use a proper autobrite fully adjustable foam lance however, not the crap ones that come included with high-pressure units. With the Autobrite lance the foam doesn't just slide off, stays on there long enough to get stuck into the dirt

I use 50 ml of Duragloss Wash Concentrate to snow foam my car, and about 30 ml of the same to wash it before finishing off with Aquawax. Bought in the 3.8 L bottle it works out at about 84c for the snow foam per use, and 50c for the wash. The snow foam might be about .50c an application dearer than the Nerta, but it's not going to break the bank, and it suits me to use one product to do both jobs. The main reason I use it is that the Duragloss is ph neutral. The Nerta is a great cleaner, but it's alkaline.

To the comments of wfdtamar, we have quite a lot of customer reviews and not all make them through. Whether negative or positive we always put them through and we also contact customers after any reviews full stop (thats negative or positive again) to see why they reviewed it as such or even to why it is not working up to their expectations.

bottomscratcher is on the right line, it is alkaline and if you want to de-wax your car or de-seal if you wish its a great way as eventually it will start to diminish the coating you have and is probably recommend to top up afterwards.

Sometimes it is best to find out a little more into the product as sometimes even professionals may not be aware or assume they are using something that is good when yes its good but is it the right product for you vs the professional who could be using it for a 'different use'.

This looks quite promising. However, is the 25l their only size? That would last a decade!

I recently purchased one of these snow foam lancers cos they look great, but I'm having a bit of trouble with it.

CCP didn't have any Autobrite snow foam solution available, so I purchased the recommended 1Z Exclusiv Gloss Shampoo instead. I mixed one capful with the foam lancer bottle filled with water and attached it to a Karcher K2.180 gurney. I dialled the foam lancer all the way down (turned the knob clockwise as far as it would go, then backed off a bit) and adjusted the nozzle to give an even spray.

The stuff isn't foaming up for me It's really watery and slides straight off my car (I've got it sealed with Duragloss sealant and wax). I know the sealant and wax will make it harder for it to stick, but right now it's got pretty much the same consistency as water.

What am I doing wrong? Maybe I'm mixing too much shampoo with too little water?

Snowfoam lance etc

Just continue experimenting with the foam mixer on the lance. CCP would've sold you the right stuff. Heck, even Meguiars NXT foams up a treat.....

Foamy vengeance



Got my Autobright foam lance on Friday, using Duragloss 901. I guess my expectations were to high, the cleaning was pretty poor. It did soften the crud so the karcher got it off ok. Took a bit of experimenting to get the right foam out of the lance.

I'll wait and see what the Autobright stuff is like when it is back in stock.
