It seems the biggest “advantage” of the iK is pure aesthetic. As detailers are always trying to separate themselves from just being a car wash and being a high end service, small details like professional looking products can take it up just a notch more
The bottle is good heavy duty and nice design. It is stable, it has a label, they look good, and they are tough. The measurement and dilution guide is good. The trigger is absolutely the worst, it hurts and it was not thought out with the bottle. I know it is an off the shelf part until their own design is released but the canyon sprayer is not comfortable or ergonomic. Functions well with atomization and volume, however could use some more adjustability as it basically will shoot an ultra fine mist or a stream nothing in the middle. All in all I really like the bottle and look forward to the sprayer to be released. I for one like the size of the bottle as I have a heavy hand with using product and I find that a liter is a good amount for me because it will get a couple uses before needing to be filled. The con to the size is that with the sprayer you have to use your index finger to work the trigger and other 3 fingers to hold the bottle and by doing so you make the back of the sprayer dig into the meat between your thumb and index finger and it is not a pleasant experience.
That's because the trigger sprayers are outsourced to Canyon due to the pandemic. IK isn't able to make the triggers due to low supply. Several detailers have mentioned this in their videos (Obsessed Garage is one of them). I'm surprised this channel didn't mention it.
I’ve had those same problems and for me I don’t know if I got a bad batch but the thread on the bottle itself is horrible, the trigger no longer goes on straight and they come loose off of the threads on there own from regular use. What I mean is th teach get worn down and so they skip of and detach, very irritating and I ended up cutting my losses and tossing them and got regular bottles for now, $150 down the drain😢
When is IK coming out with their own sprayer? I heard they’re working on it and cause of the pandemic ended with going with canyon sprayers for the moment.
I’ve had problems finding a trigger that will hold up to Car Brite Wheel Acid diluted 1:1 (used for water spot removal). Will the iK sprayer do the trick?

Thanks for the feedback Brandon!
Thanks for the review, Brandon, spot on. You can work the sprayer with just your index-finger?? Your woman must be happy with you........

Just bought one from TRC. Hope I can get some overtime…this is my third order this week!

Will IK nozzle fit on standard bottles that Tolco fits on?
How heavy is that IK sprayer I can imagine with a full bottle spring APC throughout the interior of the car could get difficult?

Your higher end sprayers will tell you if they're okay for acid use. I think Kwazar has some, but they can be hard to find sometimes.
They’re trigger atomized well but feel horrible.
Nothing 😆
