    for the foam it does work better using hot water but a basic karcher like this one will be fine

    for a foam lance like i use

    pic with the citrus


    pic with the foam after 5 mins on the car

    with the foam lance you can adjust on how thick the foam is and it can be as thick as in this pic



    hope this helps

    feel free to ask any more

    Does it matter how hot? I have a Karcher HDS 551C and it can pump out water up to 90 deg C.
