I got a K 2.400 from Bunnings. It was listed for $269 but I got it for $249 and got them to throw in a suction hose to use with a bucket (if we ever get water restrictions again). They had cheaper models but I got this one cause it had a longer hose (7m instead of the normal 4m most of the cheaper ones had) and it came with a couple of attachments. I think the cheapest one was $89 but it had a short 3m hose and no attachments at all other than the trigger gun. The first 'proper' model was $132 (on special, normally $149).

Can you use normal car detergent or do you have to use the fancy foam stuff in the lance?

You can use normal car wash but it isn't as good

Snow foam liquid works best followed by truck wash which works almost as well and then car wash if you don't have either of the first two

They all come out the same just the proper stuff will stay on the car the longest

When I get the chance I might make a thread on snow foam for all those that are interested or curious
