I agree with you. Takes 50pumps to get all the pressure up. That’s the only Con i can think of so far. The Pros are: good for engine bay cleaning and wheel cleaning.
I have bought ik foamer 2.0 year ago. To get more or longer foam try to fill halfway. More air in bottle will give u foam for longer time. I use for wheels diluted brake buster 1.5
I really don't think the coverage is bad at all on this, it's so small, light .. The foam is great,it's hoseless ( if that's a word 🤔) cheap too.. I'll be mainly using it for wheels, so I can't say fairer than that 👍
100% agree with you. It takes 4 sets of 30 pumps to cover my bike completely. Feels like I need to do a gym session for cleaning my bike. Other than that, it's ok.

I use this pretty much everytime I clean wheels now. My biggest problem with it is that its doesn't spray for too long before needing to get pumped up again. Other than that, its a fantastic product.
thanks for that review. Very thorough. I was thinking about getting one of these, but its still between this and the marolex foamer, exactly for wheel shampooing. I recently bought a Kwazar mercury pro sprayer. These are great as they are double action and have a great feel i hand. If you've got grip issues maybe look into a few of these.
The Marolex foamer has its advantages as well from what I've seen online; a bit more expensive but larger capacity. Both are probably great in their own way.
Thanks for the review. I have a new car and while automatic washes here are good i prefer hand washing. The wand washes out here are not the greatest as they do not foam much. I placed a order at carzilla last week for this sprayer but thinking it will be very time consuming on my SUV, lol. At least I can use my own soap though :)
I mean I watched vids show what to do to drill a hole and put shreder valve in I have done on cheap home dempo regular sprayers works great I dont wanna risk it on thos thing maybe I will plastic seems firm enough
I love mine but I have tried various tests and could NEVER see any type of difference whatsoever with the 3 soap induction adapters.. I was using the green one which is said to be the dry, thickest.. But then while doing my own review, I could not visually see any difference with the Grey (Intermediate) and the Orange (Wet).. So I donno
I'm new to detailing, would this be worth while be getting for doing wheels and engine bays? Or is this something I should keep for buying down the line
Is there a mixing chart somewhere that tells what ratio to use for what type of cleaner or spray or tire cleaner, onr, etc.? I'm new to detailing and I'm always amazed when I hear detailers saying mix this 4 to 1, mix this 8 to 1. How do you guys know what to mix what to what ratio. And if I have a tire cleaner in a hand spray bottle from Walmart, can I dump it in this and spray as is or will that need diluted? Nice job on the video.
Most chemicals that are meant to be diluted will have a recommended dilution ratio somewhere on the bottle. For me personally, I just simply experiment and try out different ratios to see how they perform.
IK products are made cheap and do not last. Get a half-gallon or one gallon container and modify it with compressed air fitting, a compressed air shutoff valve, and attached to a Spray Wand. Put solution into container, pressurize container to 20 to 25 psi, turn on valve and bingo.

Just bought mine a few days ago and best thing I've ever gotten for car washing.
I agree with you. Takes 50pumps to get all the pressure up. That’s the only Con i can think of so far. The Pros are: good for engine bay cleaning and wheel cleaning.
A battery powered one would be way better. I’ve been using it mostly for wheels and I like it overall.
I have one… really wanna upgrade to IK pro12 foamer for your air compressor fill up nozzle

Other than the car, I use it for household cleaning and love it. Thanks for your review.

I like your old school washer 👍👍 also the review on the form spryer 😊
Great review I have always been on the fence on whether or not to purchase this product .

@@TheCarDetailingChannel I finally bought one lol
@@Autofusionchannel how is it
@@kevg2539 I love it I found spraying it in spurts helps the air last alittle longer .
Appreciate the video as mine arrived today. Thank you - made in Spain by the way.
Good thorough review. I was on the fence till now.
Thanks :)
Good review. Thanks. Mine is coming Sunday. Using for wheels and engine.
Nice review. Can I use something like megs gold glass shampoo in this? Will it foam up?
Nice review. Loving that vintage Kenmore dryer!
The best thing going for this is the schrader valve. No 50 pumps for me.:)
I still have mod mine. In the mean time, my right tricep is getting jacked 😅

I bought one and then another one because I love it.
Nice! I like mine so far. I use it multiple times a week. Thinking about getting another one. One for wheels, one for paint.
Fantastic informative video!👍
Thank you! I appreciate it.

As a Detailer I hear you on carpal tunnel due to years of 'spray triggers'
They should be banned LOL
Great video, I just bought one. Thanks.
I just got this about a few days Your video is really helpful to me Thank you so much for share Dude

Thank you Mike!
Great review !!
I'm new to detailing, would this be worth while be getting for doing wheels and engine bays? Or is this something I should keep for buying down the line
Really helps you safe product on the wheels because the foam gives you playing time , just bought mine today regret not buying it earlier 😅
Put a bike valve on it and use your compressor or foot pump easier than using the pump that is on the top.
Have you had to change out the filter? If so, how often?
Orange or Green tip. Which one would be used for car seats?
When pumping are u supposed to have the handle lock on for it to click when its fully pressurised?
The pressure valve will pop up indicating full pressure whether the lock is on or not
I bought one today for 20$ brand new
Btw i found it on sale (in canada) and picked it up today!
That’s awesome. I might get another one
@@TheCarDetailingChannel pro detailing supplies is the shop... They also ship if you're not in the greater Toronto area.
Hey, bro. Your tire pressure is not keeping up with the IK FOAM PRO 2 pressure..
😂😂
Can I use this with non-foaming agents?
Yes you can but the foamer will still try to foam the chemical. For non foaming chemicals, there are way cheaper sprayers out there
Does it have a big enough capacity to foam a whole SUV?
Can I leave my chemical fluids in there after use? Or do I need to drain it out after use?
To bad got 9 months ago I got mine a like year change they made a new one you can use a air pump on it has valve on it
Can we use this product for a pressurized rinse?
what was the soap used for the wheels ?

Which color tip do you think is most effective for wheel and tire cleaning ?
I use the standard grey tip that comes installed from the factory.
Orange tip it is
Get this man a compressor
How much price ഓഫ് this???
35 dollars American

😀👍
Thank you for watching
I just used it for the first time, I think I was just being a wuss and not pumping enough, gotta retry
I’ve gotten used to pumping this up all the time but I still wish this was battery powered
So you'll have to pump it full about 10 times so 10 x 50 pumps is 500pumps per car lol no thanks
The biggest downside by far
Wow this thing actually looks terrible, how are people saying they look good? Each to their own i guess..
