Bro looks like you got the wrong foam lance for your karcher.

[styler2002i]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Aaftab]

Send it back to where you got it from and include a photo of you current lance.

[styler2002i]

sorted it now thanks... you attach it to the handle, the Karcher series allows you to remove the very end section of the washer... so sorted now guys...

[Aaftab]

Good stuff man. You got some snow foam?

[styler2002i]

yeah.... but not sure how much i should mix.... though.... 1cm snow foam with 1 cm gold class shampoo... and mix with warm water... from what i have read...

That's about right mate.

Don't use it on the fabric roof though, the snowfoam removes the waterproofing.

ohhhh that was fun... just gave the car a good clean and used the snow foam.. for the 1st time... hehe... felt like a little kid again... lol...

I'm thinking about buying one of these and did wonder about this, after looking at a few detailing sites and various postings on other forums i have seen a few pics of verts with there roofs fully foamed up:confused: how much damage will it do? or do the professionals re-proof as part of the detailing ?
Styler if you don't mind me asking were did you buy your lance from and did it come with any foam or is this readily available?
Sorry for all the questions but just want to be sure i wont wreck my roof.
Thanks

this is the site i used...

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-lance-various-fittings/prod_371.html

and i cant praise enough... quality service... i accidently ordered the gilmore foam lance... and was told to return it and they sent me out a karcher one well quick...

i didnt foam the roof... i just thought against it... 2 be honest... and it worked quiet well but wasnt sure wat to expect... did one round and caked the car complete (minus roof) also managed 2 cover the drive aswell... (dad wasnt pleased)... left it for about 5 mins... then pressure washed... and repeated process...

then hand washed the car... and it was sparkling... didnt have time 2 apply any polishes etc... as i had 2 go back to the hospital... but will next time...

i will post pics aswell... dnt worry guys...

It wasn't foam on the roof, but fabric cleaner, which does foam up.

I don't have a vert, but I've read on detailing world that you shouldn't foam the roof.

I got mine from clean your car too, but you have to buy the foam separately.
