Auto Obsessed here. You're detailing a car or truck –
you don't want to break your wrist hand-spraying a product for 10 minutes over the entire vehicle.
Spraying that much by hand is exhausting and painful in the wrist and the forearm,
and could result in injury. Pressurized handheld sprayers can distribute cleaning solution
over a large area without straining those muscles. Using a handheld sprayer is really easy:
you just add your product into the reservoir, pump it up to get the air pressure into the sprayer,
and hold the trigger down to spray or foam that product onto the car.
IK Sprayer has just released a new version of their Foam Pro 2. This is a new version of an
industry-leading sprayer and in this video we'll review the new Foam Pro 2 Plus, the build quality,
performance, and features. If you're curious about handheld pressure sprayers, check this out.
So we know of IK Sprayers for their phenomenal line of sprayer products.
We carry a large selection of IK sprayers. So the IK Foam Pro 12, the IK Foam Pro 2,
the IK Multi Pro 2, some trigger sprayers, and now they release their new version called
the IK Foam Pro 2 Plus. So a few applications for this product is in situations where we might have
to use a fair amount of product. We might have to dispense a fair amount of product or maybe we have
to cover a larger area and just a typical trigger sprayer just isn't maybe going to handle the
volume. We're going to have to continuously fill up the bottle or, you know, you've got to cover a
large area so you're pumping quite a bit. This is where a pressurized sprayer comes into play. So,
really good in in our detailing studio, we use it on times to apply wheel cleaner.
We use it on all-purpose cleaners, to do the wheel wells, maybe the engine bay.
A number of clients also use this in place of, maybe they don't have access to a pressure washer
and foam cannon, or maybe they're going to a car wash and they want to take some products with
them. In Canada we can't wash on the driveway right now, it's it's about minus 25 below,
so that's not a possibility. So you're gonna have to go to a car wash. So a lot of our clients buy
these, they fill it with their appropriate shampoo solution, and they use it to dispense foam across
the car like you would with a foam cannon. Obviously it doesn't have the same pressure,
but it does a really good job of dispensing thick foam. You can dial it in with your dilutions and
also with the different valves so it works quite well with that so those are some applications
might have some industrial applications to it as well maybe in the shop also at home so in
any application that you have to once again just like here in the studio where we have to dispense
a fair amount of product or cover a big area I know myself I use this to clean the shower
so dispense the cleaning product I use a pressurized sprayer it works really really well
and I don't have to sit there with a trigger and then sometimes even you're at a a little bit of an
angle so pressurized sprayer works a lot better with that so those are some of the applications
you can use it for so it has some phenomenal features it can support most products from 0 to 10
ph it has three types of foam you can go from dry medium or wet for different applications it has a
1.9 liter capacity it has markings on the bottle so you can easily see what level the product is
at or use it for dilution purposes they're really easy to maintain they're very durable
so we'll just go over high level on how we use the product so just simply unscrew the top
add your appropriate detailing product close the lid tighten it up and now we have to pressurize
so it's a pump up pressure so about 15 pumps and that's going to give the desired pressure
to operate the item but they've also installed something new now on the Foam Pro 2 Plus so this
is an air compressor valve so now we can use an air compressor to quickly pressurize the bottle
so this is an awesome feature if you're gonna dispense a fair amount of product
or cover in a big area you're you know what it's like to continuously pump
it up and again you got to do about 15 times each time so this saves a lot of time you just simply
use your air compressor pump it up takes about 43 psi it has a safety valve here
so in case you do over pressurize it is going to to safely release it so that's a nice safety
feature on it a couple other features it has so this is your foam nozzle you can turn it
so it can shoot vertical or horizontal on the end here comes with a couple colored taps if
you want to identify different products if you have more than one sprayer and then to change
I'll just release the pressure so anytime you're opening up the bottle just release the pressure
and then you open it up so if we want to change the foam types that's really easy
so right here we have the pickup straw so we're just going to pop that off
and on the end here it has the valve so there's three different types so you have you can choose
from dry medium or wet foam just depends on what your application is going to going to desire
okay you just simply change the color tip
plug it back into its spot so no tools are required put it back together tighten it up
so even if you're playing with you know you're trying to get the right dilution for the job that
you're doing it's quite easy to switch from the different valves to get your different foam types
once it's on again we pump it up we can use the air compressor we also with this new version we're
doing some testing and maybe in applications where you don't have an air compressor but you still
want to use this feature and not pump it up we were using a portable air compressor so
nice little battery powered air compressor it pumped it up super quick so really nice maybe
in applications you don't have an air compressor or maybe you're away from the garage or shop
outside maybe you're at the car wash and you want something a little bit quicker than just
the pump up the battery operated air compressor is pretty cool too right in the shop primarily we
use the airline for us in the studio it is what we consider an essential tool and just a short
while ago we also released an essential tool video so you might want to check that one out as well
but IK Sprayers was one of those essential tools so something we felt that we needed in our studio
to make the job more efficient maybe more cost effective save time of course and also save your
wrist and your hand using a pressurized sprayer from IK so it's an essential tool for us I know
that for people looking to up their detailing game whether you're an enthusiast or whether you're
