Ebay have the autoBrite gun and the prokleen gun (with 5l of prokleen snowfoam) for 2 day delivery I have both in basket trying to decide
I originally bought one that looks very much like your first link — it's absolute junk (despite all of the reviews saying it was great).
I know you're keen to do it this weekend but I would honestly wait until you can get the AD lance, it will be night and day compared to those links.
I'm really not exaggerating.

What about something like https://www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/mjjc-foam-lance-cannon-pro?variant=39271090585679
I bought their lower price option

Got one of these for a Karcher; works fine other than the litre mark wasn't a litre (easily corrected). Just have to make sure you thoroughly wash any remaining foam/shampoo after use.

Thanks for the update, good to know and reminds me I need to check what's coming out of mine now it's about 6 months old.
Save you money and just get a £10 one from ebay.
This is the results using autoglym snowfoam (wouldn't reccomend by the way) and after 5 min of dwel time:

Just FYI amount of sticky foam does not equal good cleaning power.. magifoam is very thick and stays on the car for days but I'd say it's average overall. 8 below foam is thinner and runs off quicker but leaves car much clearer. You just need to pay more attention to it during hot days for obvious reasons.
Absolutely agree. I was just showing how even the cheaper eBay ones can make a decent foam.
I've just ran out of Jennychem Snowstorm, it foamed half as much as the Autoglym however creates an almost contact less wash... I had to get a bucket and sponge out with the Autoglym!

I should probably wash my car, picked it up new last August and not bothered yet. With all the lokdowns it's done 800 miles since then rather than 8000!

I mostly buy my stuff from cleanyourcar.co.uk, but I'm sure there are many other choices out there.

What can I do!! I have new break discs a few weeks ago and they looked great, washed the car and cleaned the wheels with Megs ultimate wheel cleaner (the wheels, not the car!) and now the disc hubs are very rusted! is this suppose to happen? how can i safely remove the rust

My BMW M discs always show some rust the morning after a wash. A quick drive and some firm application of the middle peddle normally scrubs the discs and gets rid.
Am I having a moment or did you just recommend this guy paints his brake discs?
Thanks. Seems there is a global shortage of the Bilt Hamber!

I know what he meansAm I having a moment or did you just recommend this guy paints his brake discs?
not the disc part but the hub, the bit the wheel bolts to. Just wondering if its worth any effort or if its just part of what it isAm I having a moment or did you just recommend this guy paints his brake discs?
Only the hub part lol, plenty of discs have them coated from factory
