iK Foam Sprayers. Anyone use one?

Seen these being hyped by the rag company a lot recently (available cheaper elsewhere). They look to work well in the videos. Anyone use one? I know we all don’t always feel like busting out the pressure washer and whanot.

Here’s a video about the various sprayers for those that haven’t seen them:

I have two sprayers like this, and use them quite a bit. They are wonderful for using Rinseless where you want to spray the whole car or wheels, and all you have is a little small trigger on the spray bottle. Your finger feels it after a while This way you just pump it up and spray away. I got mine from detailed image. don’t get hung up on buying from a boutique place, this Amazon unit it will work perfectly fine.

The only time I use a pump spray is when I want to completely wipe down the car because it’s absolutely filthy from actually sitting outside for a week or two....happened once. But on a regular weekly Rinseless, it’s just 6 microfibers and the bucket.

But I would also use a pump sprayer if I wanted to completely wipe the car down with IPA, before I Do a sealant/coating application.

A friend uses a garden sprayer -$15 from Lowe’s - to wet down his car for Rinseless......

Did you watch the video? I think these sprayers are different. I have a nicer $15-20 pump sprayer I use for rinseless as well, but it doesn’t foam at all on the spray setting, and the foam setting doesn’t work nearly as well as these ones seem to do.

Here’s a few screen grabs from a video of it in action. I haven’t seen any other type of pump sprayers throw down suds like this:

You either rinse it off after dwelling and emulsifying the surface dirt, or use a mittt of some sort and wash the car.

I got mine off amazong for 16 bucks works like a charm!! It helps give the car a good layer of soap so when u wash it really spreads tbe soap well and keeps the soap on as you rub it in. Its a pain to set up the power washer sometimes but if u have a garage and can leave the powerwasher setup all the time itd be even better. Either way def worth 16 bucks. Personally i think my car shined its best after using it. hope that helps!
