Awesome video. I use a nut on the valve to pull them up. I have this set up for all my outdoor home cleaning in the summer and Car washing in the winter. I use a 2 part cleaning 100:1 ratio and a spray sealant and use the pressure washing bay at the gas station, the results are crazy good vs their soap and such. I have them for lawn care too. My wife laughs at my collection of bottles. Detailing Engines the long wand I heated up and bent more of a 90 degree to get into those areas you see but can't get a straight shot on it. "YES" celebrate another who gets it like I do.
Glad we are on the same page, the possibilities are endless when it comes to detailing! Thanks a ton for sharing all your insight on installing the valve. It’s comments like these that we can all learn from 👊🏽
I made 2 of these for my rinseless wash a few months back. I like to keep one filled with a surfactant based RW for presoak and the other with a polymer RW for my contact wash.
I’m doing rinsless washes in my garage and ya man this is same as I do. I get a bucket of hot water and mix my Mckees V2 in it. I pre soak with rinsless as well. I still use dark fury on wheels and also turtle wax wheel cleaner with decon remover. Stuff works great. The pump sprayer to rinse the wheels. When I’m all done washing the car I then take my shop vac and vacuum up the water in the garage. I don’t have a drain unfortunately. For heat I’m using a Bauer torpedo heater from Harbor Freight. That thing kicks butt man. This is a game changer. Great stuff bro. Keep up the great videos. I’ll add a valve stem to mine as well. Side note…the harbor freight pump sprayer, don’t get one. The plastic is too thin and prone to pin holes.
Thank you for the heads up. I haven’t tried the HF sprayer yet. The Bauer forced induction heater is a great option for heating a garage. It is definitely a little beast. Glad you are staying warm this winter! 👊🏽
I appreciate this share. lol did you rig the HDX handheld 56oz ones? I use that with P&S absolute. I may use the gallon one you just displayed. For a rinsless was and use the handheld 560z with waterless wash and wax from superior products. For a prewash when my car is hammered with caked on dirt lol and wheels
@ yeah I will downsize to a 32oz bottle SP WW. Good idea save money too. What do you use for wheels? I use super clean 4:1 32oz bottle with black microfiber clothes. With cheap Home Depot microfiber towels. For the RLW on the body and lower panels. I like HD rags I call them my disposable rags. Once they get dusty toss them and get some more for $11 😝
Most of the time I use it diluted 1:1. I typically use it as a rinse aid or drying aid, but if I’m spraying it directly onto the dry paint, I’m probably using it full strength not always though.
The only reason for the valve stem mod is to avoid having to pump the handle? If I’m not mistaken, couldn’t you just use the sprayer as is and not have to carry an air compressor? Thanks
I think the harbor freight one has to be cheaper but the hdx line and the harbor freight ones did not last long for me at all just a couple months and the o rings gave out I have the mad expensive IK sprayer now but have had 0 problems with it no more trying to fix a pump sprayer mid job or worry about having a backup 😂
I have actually had the opposite experience. I use my IK sprays more but I used to use the HdX 64oz pump sprayers and never had a problem. They have much better o-rings from the factory than IK does. I frequently replace the o-rings on my IK sprayers but not really ever on my HDXs. I did a video on the o-rings for IK sprayers in the past if you want to check it out.
@ thats wild I had multiple hdx hand pump sprayers fail all within a month of using with properly and methodically cleaning and rinsing I went to use one and pumped it up and the full on plastic bottle part started just spraying out the side 🤣 multiple the hose broke off and the time it held pressure wasn’t good and the endless threads on it was too much time then used harbor freight and those o rings and pressure wasn’t even worse and now have gotten the IK and no issues but tbh there are bad apples and quality control issues with every company tbh and that’s why the warranty’s and replacement parts are such an important thing which I have no comments or knowledge on from personal experience with any company lol i dont have time for all that haha
@ oh and I love your videos btw not saying you are wrong or your experiences are false just speaking from my experience which is obviously going to be different but nonetheless you are amazing and I love the knowledge and content and support you provide to our community ❤️
Definitely could be some quality control issues. I do like that IK has the rebuild/ maintenance kits for all of their sprayers 👌🏾 I really never have too many problems outside of the oring for the pump itself on any brand sprayer but I think that is to be expected. They are 50 cents at ace hardware though so no big deal.
I've had all of em fail lol. Ik foamer came with messed up o rings, ik sprayer was ok, gosh I hate how much they have to be hand pumped for 20 seconds of spraying. I had a harbor freight 2 gallon one last less than 2 months, and a home depot one last 2 ish month. I have yet to buy the over hundred dollar ik
@@alanwallace3253 I have not yet but it is a pretty easy modification to the tip of the sprayer if you want foam. I could probably do a super short video on that
Im not a rinseless fan , I've seen what can been done when not done right. I had a customer that had some guy that all he did was rinseless , guy called me wanted a quote for a coating. When I saw the Tahoe it was so swirled up that I told him he needed a minimum of a 1 step , I didn't feel comfortable putting a coating with the paint the way it was. He decided not to book but hey it's my reputation so I kindly declined myself
The swirls didn’t necessarily come from the guy doing rinseless it can happen from driving on the highway it can happen before he started washing it and it could happen in the drying process and it has a lot of factors the rinseless wash doesn’t scratch if done correctly it scratches less than a pressure washer slamming water and debris against the paint and using soap that doesn’t emulsify and encapsulate like rinseless much love ❤
Having a budget sprayer can be a huge help during the winter. Do you have one? Tell us what you are using below 👇🏽
That was a great video,Thank you!
Appreciate you checking it out!
@jamiesdetailing for sure. Great tutorial on the conversion.

Nice job Jamie! It's getting cold in Chicago and those cutting and valve stem tips are awesome. I appreciate you putting this together.
Anytime Carl! Appreciate you checking out the video 👊🏽 glad you got something out of it!
I got one from Lowes. It works great. I use it for spraying my APC's. Dark Fury and Road Warrior.
Whatever fits the bill and gets the job done! Glad you are liking it 🙌
🔥🔥🔥 great video and idea for pump less
The valve stem is a must if you plan on using this thing often! Glad you liked the video. Thanks for checking it out! 🙌🏽

That sounds like a good process! I need to get on that! 👊🏽

I did the same set up with my pump sprayers they work fantastic. Ty
Nice work! Great minds think alike 👊🏽 appreciate you
I need to get one.. Thanks for the video!
I use a Chapin 20000 1 gal. sprayer! I love it!
Chapin has some great sprayers as well! Glad it is working for you for detailing 👊🏽

@@jayp9450 this is basically what I do! SP Waterless Wash in a smaller spray bottle 👌🏾 use the big one more for rinseless washes

What is your opinion on tech 582 choice ?do you use it straight or dilute it .
Most of the time I use it diluted 1:1. I typically use it as a rinse aid or drying aid, but if I’m spraying it directly onto the dry paint, I’m probably using it full strength not always though.
Rinseless gang !!!!!!!!!!!!
The only reason for the valve stem mod is to avoid having to pump the handle? If I’m not mistaken, couldn’t you just use the sprayer as is and not have to carry an air compressor? Thanks
Yep. This doesn't eliminate the pump. Just make easier/faster if you do have a compressor.
The valve stem is totally optional! You can use your sprayer as is. No need for any modifications if you like it how it is out of the box
Sounds good, I appreciate the replies. I haven’t used this method before but I’ll be setting one up this year for sure!
You get a sub for this video 😂
@@Otownliving I will take it Welcome to the fam 💪🏽🤘🏽

Have you put his together for a former ?

I would love to see you make the foamer please @@jamiesdetailing
Yes now drop and extra few bucks and put a Schrader valve in it!!
That is exactly what. We are doing 😉
@ yes!!!
I'll pass. Plenty of inexpensive battery operated sprayers for this purpose.
That is a definitely an option although typically more expensive.
