I purchased the karcher car and bike foam ultra cleaner when I got the foam canister , I suspect its expensive at £7.50 for a litre but wanted to see what the foam was like on the designed  product before I look around for a cheaper or better alternative
open to suggestions

Halfords do a much cheaper version of the foam, 5ltrs for approx the same price as Karcher's 1ltr. It works just as well.

Looks good Mr Viper ... I too have the Karcher "foamer" nozzle thingy wotsit but have yet to use it as the bike hasn't been filthy enough !!  :mfr_lol: BUT having seen your piccy I shall have a go next week after a few days commuting ... One imagines one leaves it all just to drip off and degrease the bike for 5/10 minutes whilst one relaxes with a cup of PG ? Then dry it off with your Atom blower .... :yes:
I shall put some piccies up next week ... stand by.
PS .. Debs .. come down to the south coast and you can share my garage .. I hate to think of anyone owning a bike with no roof for it  :no: :no:

you will still need to wash the bike in a traditional way , the snow foam just sticks to the bike, loosening the dirt and making the cleaning process quicker and easier and better ,

I've been using foamers for years and always get my solution from Autosmart in 25lt tubs.

2 types,  Hazsafe and Trafficfilm, works out at £35 a tub.    I make sure all foam is rinsed off thoroughly, blown air dried and engine run for 5 - 10 mins to prevent water from sitting in exposed connectors.......
