So you've been inspired by social media pictures of cars slathered in rich, luxurious foam and you're wanting to try it yourself? You probably know that you'll be needing a decent pressure washer and some snow foam, but a proper foam lance is just as essential.
Snow foam lances (also called foamers, guns and canons) are often overlooked but without one, even the fanciest pressure washer in the world won't be able to foam up your car. And while some pressure washers ship with a lance attachment, often it's down to you to find the correct one that fits. We've done the hard work for you, looking at the best manufacturer-specific foam lances as well as some universal options that should fit whatever pressure washer you own.

Meguiar's Ultimate Snow Foam Cannon Kit
The best snow foam lance kit for snow foaming
View offer
Another good choice for making sure you've got everything you need (apart from the pressure washer), this kit from Meguiar's includes a good foam cannon that's compatible with Ku00e4rcher, Nilfisk and Bosch pressure washers thanks to a selection of adapters. It also comes with Meguiar's pH neutral snow foam that'll deep clean your car's paint without damaging it or stripping any wax coating. It misses out on the top spot simply because it only ships with snow foam and not shampoo and paint protector.
Demon Shine Demon Foam With Snow Foam Gun 2 Litre
The best low-tech snow foam lance
View offer
The amazing thing about this foam nozzle is that it doesn't need a pressure washer to work. The foam lance is built into the snow foam bottle and requires nothing more than a hose to work. Turtle Wax claim it's just as thick and luxurious as pressure washer snow foam but some reviewers beg to differ. Still, it's an interesting choice if you want to try snow foaming without a pressure washer.
