The All-New iK FOAM Pro 12 Detailing Pressure Sprayer | EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- The Rag Company is proud to introduce the latest creation from iK Sprayers! The iK Foam Pro 12 is the successor to the popular iK Foam 9 and boasts some HIGHLY requested features: A Schrader valve for hooking up compressed air, a higher capacity body, and an even more durable construction with the PRO-specific wobble-free base.
Since iK Sprayers made their big debut in 2017, The Rag Company has worked closely with Goizper Group to create and promote the best detailing sprayers on the market. The iK Foam Pro 12 has been underdevelopment for over 2 years with the intention of a compressed air attachment. In 2018 the first prototype of the iK Foam Pro 12 was created and tested by The Rag Company and put through extensive use. With the production model in hand, the Foam Pro 12 is everything we could have wanted. The ability to create snow foam out of a “pump” sprayer was a huge step forward for the detailing industry. The Pro 12 delivers the best detailing foam we have seen from a pump sprayer and only gets better with the introduction of compressed air.
The Foam Pro 12 is able to foam car wash soap (shampoo’s), all purpose cleaners, carpet cleaners, and more. Users have the ability to change the style of foam from Standard, to Dry Foam, to Wet Foam, with the change of a tube. The new stable base and wand storage solution is a big improvement over the previous iK 9 Foam Sprayer. In this video, Anthony unboxes and reviews the iK Foam 12 Sprayer to show you what it’s all about!

Literally just received my Ik foam 9 two days ago SMH 🤦🏽♂️
I just bought one. Instruction manual is a pain to read and understand. Your video is very clear and concise. Thanks a lot. You guys are awesome.
Great more stuff I have to buy that I don’t need!
Frank Martinez this one you need, I tried one today!
😂 right
Love the pro 12.. only one issue with it is draining it.. only thing I miss from the foam 9 is the drain hole in the bottom. Having to turn it upside down to drain/recover product..
Ha, ha, ha! I have been installing metal tire valves in my pump sprayers for a while! I haven't pumped a sprayer in ages! Great addition! Bravo IK!
PS - I do it to my handheld sprayers too (e.g., 50 oz). My only criteria is it has to have a pressure release valve for safety. I fill them until the pressure release valve opens and away I go. I hope IK modifies all of their sprayers no matter the size to incorporate this feature.
I tried one today, and yes it’s definitely a great addition to any Detailers tool list.
Yvan Lacroix Yvan approved?
Mari0o0o approved, endorsed, and suggested!
@@LacroixCruiser If it wasnt for that Jaguar video you made with TRC, I wouldn't even have thought about this product.
Totally going to get one very soon, as my Kärcher Hot pressure washer is old and not easy to find the right snowfoam lance for.
Simon Bach thank you
@@LacroixCruiser Given from Simon's comment, I saw your videos and subscribed. Cool stuff
Would it be possible to pressurize this with a tire inflator? or are those machines just not capable/compatible to be used with this?
my first thought too
.whY........dO.......alL.........thesE........ demonstraTatERS!!.......talK........likE!.........thiS!
Best part of the IK 12 is that the 9 will be cheaper now hahah
Completely discontinued jokes on you
@@codyfrancis4474 seems not cause I got 2 for under $100 nice try tho
Can you use one of these without foaming... say for example with a product like speed shine as a super high capacity spray bottle or will it foam anything you put into it or what??
I plan on pumping it myself until I get my hands on a compressor. I am going to start my own mobile detailing business. Is this better then a pressure washer? Or should I just buy a pressure washer instead?
Just got the IK foam pro 12. Brand new and not working properly. It sputters out product not consistently. (Like a tire releasing air with water in the tire.)
I have diagnosed it to the hose that connects the wand to the tank. Using just water, it flows freely from the pressurized tank. Attach the hose (without the wand) and water just sputters out like it is mixing with air or hose is blocked. The wand and sprayer tip appear fine.
So, any tips on how or why water coming out of the hose sputters? As i said a steady stream of water shoots straight up out of the tank, attach the hose and i would expect a steady steam of water, but just sputters out of the connecting hose (without the wand attached).
Tried cleaning the hose with running water and air. No improvement. Do i need a new connecting hose? It is brand new... 🤔
Same issue did you ever resolve it?
Bought one, and I'm impressed.
Rt tu titix it ou in and 7 yi and and and bn un 7 it goes 6 yu 66 tuk u yu ut ut n7 g thi
Figures. I just picked up a new PF22. This unit would be good for indoor use. Maybe some foam followed by a rinse less wash?
Great sprayer, definitely an upgrade to the IK 9. Question: How many OUNCES of a quality, concentrated snow foam car soap (Chemical Guys HoneyDew Snow Foam) do I mix with water to make 1 GALLON mixture? HELP PLEASE!
Excited and upset at the same time. I love my IK9 but I have to have this.
Did you need it?
I use this to shampoo carpets in my house as well. I get a commercial "dry foam" shampoo and spray this down about a 1:30 ratio, brush the foam in with a silicon push broom then vacuum with my shop vac. Works great and way cheaper than cans of carpet cleaning foam spray since I have the sprayer for my car anyway. Need a specially formulated dry foam shampoo though so no sticky soap residue.
That’s interesting, I got one for my vehicle but I got a jute rag that need to clean and those I heard are delicate when washing. Can you please share the type of soap you use that dries up for you to vacuum?
Thanks
I live in a apartment so the coin wash is my sanctuary. This is a game changer and I have a tire inflator for my car that I'll try on this bad boy. Thanks for the great video!
Have you tried it? Looking to see more reviews
Can we get a wash wednesday with ik foam pro 12
Daniel Huot look at the Thé Rag Company live Instagram video from today, we washed Opti-Force 1 with it.
@@LacroixCruiser thanks yvan! Just checked it out and the ik foam pro 12 looks amazing! Definitely a giant improvement over the 9. Looking forward to more content with you and the rag company folks.
Daniel Huot lots to come
7:54 anthony missed his opportunity to say "hose gonna be hose" lol
sir how do I clean the inside where we pour the liquid ? Say I used a heavy PH soap previously and now using a regular snow foam , how can I assure none of the previous soap is still in there??
Great vid! Looks like Im going to have to purchase one! Off topic, you kinda look like a cross between Patton Oswalt and Drew Carey
Schweet.....just when I was looking to switch from a pressure washer foam cannon to a sprayer....cool!
Ordered!!
This guy was really getting his rocks off on that identifier label like that was the most revolutionary technological advancement in recent history.
😭😭
Could I just leave my mix solution of brake buster in it until it’s used up. Instead of having to empty it each time! Thx
Great review and I'm excited for this product I always wanted the ik foamer but didn't want to potentially ruin it by adding a valve so I brought a cheap sprayer and put a valve but it leaks a little due to my craftsmanship. This answers my problems perfectly. Will your eu store be stocking these ?
@@theragcompany yes mate! Clean and shiney have it. Cheaper than id expected too. Thanks
I’m far from a detailer. Can I simply buy two for washing my car? One for a car wash solution, and one that just holds water? I unfortunately don’t have access to a hose.
My foamer will have a solution. The. Valve. For the air, it no longer squeezes and does not hold any air. How can I get the spare part?
Is there 1 for onr rinseless washing or comes with a different tip or strictly foam?
The tip was hard to remove for me. I ended up pulling the plastic tube off and then pushing the tip out. Was way easier.
Can you convert it to liquid only if you do not want to use the foam???
lose the music, very distracting and it's nice to see you without that backwards baseball cap.
I wanted to order one today since you have the 20% off, but you’re sold out? How convenient.
All, I am new to this device and I want to start washing my car myself. My question is can it also be used to rinse the vehicle like a pressure washer? Or is it only for spraying foam?
@@theragcompany ok thanks for the info appreciate it
Actually, Jason Touro, the USA training director for Goizperna said you can easily make the foamer into a sprayer. He said take any one of the tubes with the three different colored nozzles whether it be the green, orange or gray one and right below the nozzle you'll see a little bitty hole so all you have to do is drop a little super glue in that hole to plug it and no more foaming it's just a sprayer so pick the hose that you don't use very often plug the hole and you're off and running you now have an ik pro 12 that can both be a foamer and a sprayer. I did and it's terrific.
@@nicksdragon6929 awesome thanks for the info I wi definitely do that 😀
Ive seen the 1.5’s modded with a small battery operated pump. Constant foam action.
Man, I got mine new off of Amazon and it's not spraying properly. It's uneven and it't like it's spitting air half the time. Everything is tight. I don't get it. There's no real assembly so I just don't get it. I was so excited for the thing.
For whatever it's worth, all I put in it so far is GIY Rinseless wash and water. Then just water trying to sinse it out.
Why do all of your reviews not even show it in use?????? What kinda reviews are these...
Which color tube do i use if i simply water spray down my car?
So with the air pump attachment, you would still have to stop spraying and re-pump with air once the pressure is lost right? If you attached a wireless portable electric air pump, could you get uninterrupted spray time?
Someone made a video on this this month (August 2021), search for 'ik foam pro 12 hack'
you said near the end of the video when you changed the tube to wet foam but you put the green tube in lol
How do the actual pump mechanism's compare, between the Foam 9 and Foam Pro 12?
Drain Plug? Hope to see it on action really soon maybe a comparison video
Wow - thanks for the very thorough video.
You missed one of the most crucial parts, how to fill it with solution
Can I return my old one and get this one?
That air plug is a game changer. What if I was to use this solely with an iron remover that doesn’t foam, will it try to foam it and or come out in a smooth stream
Can't foam something that's not soap.. it's hard to create foam in first place as we know from trying to get a good foam gun😄
Can I use a drying aid in one of these 👀
They should have a trade in. I purchased mine not even a month ago. They should take ours back with a decent discount for the new one. I was going to modify mine. Don't know if the warning is to make you buy the knew you know these foamers aren't cheap.
Mart Benz is that how capitalism works? Does an auto manufacturing company do that for outgoing models, you just purchased?
Mart Benz the warning not to add a Schrader valve to a Foam 9 is serious. Lots of testing and engineering went into the development of the 12, and all that for safety.
@@LacroixCruiser Mine is modified and have been using for a year and have not had any issues.
Can this be used with Portable 12V Air compressor tire inflator for the car the same way, or would you have to find some type of other attachment ?
HarlemFinest155 one of those would work perfectly.
Yvan Lacroix that makes it even better now I can order my 12v tore inflator from Amazon then ik12. 😎
So what did the green hose be the best for pre-wash soap?
Needs a short wand attachment like the Foam-it sprayer.
The colored cards go with what color tube you use 😉
How well does this work on Widebody Mustangs?
Hell with the ik12 I mod my ik9 and it works the same way.
How did you go about doing that? Thx
don't mod IK 9, buy IK 12 instead, so we can have more money :)
Any chance this is going to be made available on Amazon Canada at some point like the pro 2s ?
You can buy this at eshine or carzilla
I just bought one and love the quality of the foam it produces. I'm using 6 liters of a 4% solution of Gyeon Foam in distilled water at 60 psi, with the default medium metering hose and the results are great. It is much more economical with the expensive soap that I use, so that will offset the high cost of this unit eventually. I use about 2 liters of solution to foam my sportscar completely, so it also uses less water than my previous foam gun that attached to a garden hose.
It looks really great but not enough to keep me from my Foam 9.
Kram Sacul I like my foam 9 and use it daily. When I tried this I almost threw it away, there’s a world of difference between the 2 foamers.
@@LacroixCruiser did you almost throw away the 9 or 12?
Jose Vega the 9, after you use a 12, you will keep your 9, but will want it to be a 12.
Can you use this as a non foam rinse less sprayer?
I'd take my chances with 3 dollar valve stem if I had old pump sprayer it has same safety devise presure realise valve you can use a light duty tire inflator dont have use hard core compresor what do you get A 10 year warranty you have to worry about voiding out just being honest dont mean any offense I know you guys are hear to sell apricate it
Why wasn't the Schrader valve included? I just unboxed my iK and was seriously disappointed. That's why I got it. Please advise.
It'd be nice if iK would come out w/ a 15 or 25 gallon sprayer. Would be good for us mobile detailers who want to mount this on a cart or on the back of a van.
Help please - at the 13min mark on video..... the pipe is stuck and will not come out. What can I do, to push it through to use the orange one??
The water in my area is not good so within 2 weeks the white filter at the nozzle was clogged with dirt and caused the foam to come out unevenly. I have replaced the new one and used it very well, but there is one problem that the manufacturer provides these filters or not because only about a month later I don't have a new filter to replace. . Looking forward to hearing back soon so I can get things done with the amazing IK PRO 12 foam sprayer
I mistakenly bought the multi pro 12 . Can I buy the foaming tubes and just switch them out?
My Ik 12 isn't holding pressure and is leaking from the wand handle where the lock is when pumped, do u think replacing with a new pro handle will fix my issue?
Hi there ,the little plastic piece that holds the filter sadly fell into a drain.wonder if you guys could point me in the right direction for a new piece of possible.cheerd
Looks good fellas
Just got it today
Cant git the hose in the sprayer you never realy showed how and only got two of the tips
Haha I am a idiot watched the video again and there is a 2sec part about the foam tips and changing them will use sprayer now and do review
Why does it state 58psi in the instructions and you say 75psi?
That's a big difference?
Love that it does the hose-things, but can I use an inflator with it? (Seeing portable inflators are economical)
Good stuff Anthony, I like the color
Did you know that TRC logo is what a microfiber fiber looks like on a microscope
Eh the one from auto fanatic is better in every way, this look cheap. Even the marolex look better
Is this snow foam sprayer only used to encapsulate dirt, but still requires you to wash your car once the foam has dissolved
If I get the foam pro 12 can I also just use it with plain distilled water or onr on days I just want to rinse the car and not foam it?
didn't recognize u at first....mr alldayanthony :)
Hey guys so I bought a ik foam pro 12 and I used auto fanatic wheel cleaning foam in it and the foam was great but I diluted p&s break buster up to 3:1 and when I spray it does stay fanned it goes from a fan of foam to looking like it is just globing out of the center. How would u recommend to fix this and I also used distilled water.
What do you think about the Foam Pressure Sprayer from AMMONYC??
Does using a mini air compressor on the IK Foam 12 void the warranty if it's set to say 55 psi🤔
Where could you buy the filters for those. I live in Canada and can’t find them to replace mine
Hey Anthony! Serious question, is IK in the works for something battery powered and 45psi + ?
would have been nice if the pump handle would of have a few storage compartments for the hex cap (block off plate) and stem (valve), since the handle has grooves in it.
I do mobile detailing and i was wondering if i should get one of these with the chemical guys waterless wash do you recommend this?
Why why why, I am trying to be good and guys bring out something else I want to buy 😰😦
Hencewhy?
Just got it and put super clean 1:3 in it, total 2 gallons of solution. But even though I have changed it to the wet foam- orange tube tip, it's still producing a normal foam. Wanted to use this as a wet pre-wash but can't, any ideas where did I go wrong?
That is FAR too strong of a dilution. We would recommend going to a 10:1 dilution of water to product
You said "moding" Matt from OG would be very upset.... Nobody says moding! 😆😂
No one ever tests this by hand pumping. How many hand pumps needed?
What would you Suggest to clean an engine bay with chemical wise thank you
I'm receiving mine today from you guys.. how do I know how much product to use to get good foam? Car wash soap, wheel cleaner, iron Decontamination.
Hi Rag Company, Can the sprayer be used without generating foam? (heard about some trick, but don't quite understand yet :-) )
Hi Dominic, the "Foam" units will only foam due to the construction of the sprayer's plumbing design, if you're interested in traditional spraying, then you'd want to check out the "Multi" models. (Or, if you're a fan of stainless steel bodies, you could check out the Tint & PPF Sprayer)
Of course, there are people online who modify their sprayers with mixed results, but we don't endorse that sort of thing out of an abundance of caution. (You're dealing with highly-pressurized containers, after all)
I've had one for a while now, and maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it just sputters. I could never get it to work properly so it just sits in my closet.
Edit I'm not the only having this issue
I have two and can’t get any of them to work…here I am again
Here's me with my IK Foam Pro 2 😂.
@@theragcompany It is a lot of fun to used. Had it for 3 weeks, washed my car; then when visiting my parents washed my mums car just to really play around with it. In all fairness, checking reviews etc, it seems better than the previous one, in the way of fluid you put in with capacity still able to build up pressure.
All in all you can't go wrong either way. Still wish I had one earlier.
Can you get extra spray tip filters for this unit ? Thanks much improved since hanging with Matt from Obsessed Garage.
Can this be use for just water aswell? Rinsing.
How much Adams foam per gallon do I put in it
What ratio should I use to wash a SUV/truck?
What is my dilution rate for using Optimum Power Clean in the IK Foam Pro 12 pressure sprayer ?
So, that’s 10 parts water to 1 part Power Clean ?
Where did you source your Schrader valve for the hook up
