Question Snow Foam

Right I got myself a rather nifty pressure washer from Asda*.
It's got a detergent bottle and foaming bit for the wand. I got some Halfords detergent which is fine but I would really like some proper snow foam stuff - I've seen it in action at a local car wash business. Where on earth can I get it? Halfords don't seem to do it and the only other place so far is ebay, but I don't trust their own mix things which could have any sort of paint stripping chemicals in...


*for anyone interested its a black and decker pw1300b - £35.

it has what is described as a "foaming nozzle" - how is that different?
