[@wescat2]

Another great review Keav. The best is when things are better than you expect them to be.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Agreed, my expectations were not very high having to deal with the Griots. LOL

[@1_Moretime]

That black & yellow foamer was pretty impressive to be honest. Ty for sharing!

[@CarsWithKeav]

It was way better than expected.

[@deakemarschall2992]

Thanks for taking another one for the team. Kinda shocked at how well these worked. Might roll the dice on one.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I enjoy product testing and need the tax write offs to buy this stuff. 🤣

[@dannysandoval5195]

Good video on testing the foamers from Amazon Keav.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thank You

[@mitch1668]

Awesome review!! Thank you sir!!!!

[@CarsWithKeav]

You’re Welcom

[@CarlWheeler-tv2tu]

I have the Black foamer in your video, I use it for door jams and other small areas, it has worked flawlessly for me. Thanks for the video.

[@CarsWithKeav]

It the best out of the foamers for sure. Great for those little jobs like wheels and tires. Door Jams is a great as well.

[@kevinl3235]

Great review! I just picked up the clear bottle one, I like how quiet it is along with a good foam pattern.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Guess they got back in stock. They were unavailable for awhile.

[@kevinl3235]

@@CarsWithKeav I found it on Amazon listed under the company, Nvuiqgs. That's with a Q and G for the spelling. Same product just different company now.

[@mywa8314]

Yeah, I like how quiet it is, too, but its battery life is a deal breaker for me.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@mywa8314 I think it’s got a pretty small battery in there for sure.

[@maryhoffman2547]

Dad bod belly🤣😂☠️ thank you for your thoughts on these products. Happy holidays!

Happy Holidays to you too!

[@timmclaughlin7576]

Another great video. I always appreciate your efforts. Another item I now feel I need to buy. 😂 very impressive comparison.

[@CarsWithKeav]

The temptation is always there. 🤣

[@diydetailofficial]

Thanks for using DIY Detail Incredible Suds. 128/1 or 256/1 would be a better option for diluting

[@CarsWithKeav]

Those dilutions work as well just the foaming with these devices was not as good.

[@oRedRaider]

Tanks for this video!

[@CarsWithKeav]

You’re welcome

[@GoGreenBx]

Great video!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thank You

[@Auto-Bots.Custom.Detailing]

I like your IK setup, might have to try that out.. can you answer a question for me? In one of your videos you had a nozzle holder that mounted to the front of the gun, where did you get that and what is it called? Been trying to find the video.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Here you go! They are made by @madcarcareproducts madcarcareproducts.com/

[@scottohms2799]

Keav, for the IK, you installed the compressor for the 12 onto the foam pro 2+ ?

[@CarsWithKeav]

No it’s a Fanttik x8 inflator and I created my own Velcro strap. The compressor from the 12 is almost the size of the 2+ so it’s too big to use.

[@barteertmoed3007]

Hey Keav! I've got a crazy question for you. This would be more directed at the clear bottle foamer, but could apply to either one. Since these types of foamers don't rely on pressurizing the tank, would it be possible to remove the liquid container/bottle, add a much longer draw tube (maybe 3-4 feet...longer if necessary) to the foam spray head, and have the other end of the added longer draw tube simply placed into a separate container (ie, a milk jug)...and the sprayer still function the same? That way, your container of chemicals could be on the ground while using the sprayer. Doing so could accomplish 2 things. A) it would make using the sprayer head much more maneuverable (not having the bottle bumping into things...like the ground while spraying wheels/tires). Also, it would remove some of the weight from the hand that is using the spray head. Since these types of sprayers don't use a pressurized tank, it seems rational that it would work. Any thoughts? Maybe a nice test to do? Thanks buddy!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Yes, for most of these that are electric pumps that will work just fine. I have only seen a few that have a ventilation like the Griots. The clear and black and yellow one don’t seem to have one. The black and yellow one works well when I tested it just pulling from the bottle without being screwed on. The clear one the battery was dead so had not had a chance to test it.

[@markm921]

Good job!!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thank you

[@uxrealkev]

Hey, nice idea with the mobile compressor on the foamer! Talking about the IK Foam Pro 2+ Is there a way to swap out the "little" 1.25L tank for a 2L tank? Do you know by any chance what the dimensions are from the tank closure? How can I find a 2L tank that would fit?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I have not seen a different size bottle that will fit it yet. It seems to be a custom size that I can tell.

[@uxrealkev]

@@CarsWithKeav Can the IK Foam Pro 2+ with the 1.25l tank foam the whole car?

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@uxrealkev Its possible I have done it before, but you have to be very light with the coat and coverage won’t be very good. So not sure it’s really effective to clean as the whole surface won’t be covered evenly.

[@kevinelia7123]

I bought the solo and the SPTA battery based on YT influence. The SPTA failed by leaking for unknown reasons and product support none. The solo was dropped and broke immediately. I reached to Solo. Got replacement but it doesn't perform like the one I broke and the model disconnected.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I hate to hear that. Have dropped my solo several times as I’m clumsy and still runs. Might have been the perfect angle to break. My SPTA has the leak out the bottom as well.

[@coolwrld302]

Would love to know how they would hold up with products being left in them. I use Adams Polishes Tire and Rubber cleaner to do my tires and I would love to know if it was kept in one of these how long would it be before something inside broke down and failed.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Good thing for these the bottles are hdpe plastic. My only concern would be product left in the spray head. I usually clean out the heads with distilled water, but didn’t with the spta foamer and that brake buster ate through that o ring. Big flaw with the pump being below the tank.

[@coolwrld302]

@@CarsWithKeav So with those 2 you detailed I wonder if I just took the head off and let the pump run for a couple of seconds until nothing was coming out if that would be enough of a "clean out".

[@dannysandoval5195]

Keav which E foamer is the quietest at of all?

[@CarsWithKeav]

The clear bottle one is the quietest from what I can tell.

[@jakeestes1661]

used your link to order one, hopefully it lasts longer than my pump foamer.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I’m hoping too they are so new we don’t have any long term information yet.

[@theDougAngle]

My hesitation with ordering one of these is how will the filter/screen hold up over the next dozen washes.... Will the filter hold up?

[@CarsWithKeav]

All of these do come with replaceable filters. IK and some others come with extra ones. Most of them are just cut out pieces of foam or scotch brite pad material. Mostly depends on upkeep rinsing out the top by running some distilled water so soap doesn’t gunk the filter. I have no changed the one in my IK ever and it’s been two years.

[@andrewcramer7214]

I just installed a tire valve in my ik foamer and it doesn't seem to have an overpressure valve like their compressed air models do. What psi should I run it at do you know?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I would not exceed 59 psi. That is what the pressure relief valve on mine usually goes off at.

[@andrewcramer7214]

@@CarsWithKeav oh wow. I was scared to go over 35 lol I wonder if it does pop I appreciate it thanks!

[@keithgraver5482]

Is it better not to shake it up after filling the container?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Usually yes not best to shake it’s better to stir it around. Depends a lot on how full the bottle is and the pickup tube being in the liquid and not picking up any suds.

[@macromaniac1]

Which one is the quiteest?

[@CarsWithKeav]

The black and yellow one I think is.

[@john888]

I have the ik fp2+ setup with a tire inflator.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Awesome! How is it working for you?

[@tomchipego7562]

@@john888 what psi do you set it to?

[@john888]

@@tomchipego7562 the foamer automatically lets off pressure at around 52-55psi.

[@luisillo1987]

That griots was horrible, actually made me laugh.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I don't know what they were thinking with that thing. They were pushing it big at SEMA, but you don't hear them saying anything about it anymore. Probably one of the worst product launches they have done. Nobody in their QA and research had to have been paying attention. LOL

[@joepen1955]

i had 2 spta foamer not good at all

[@CarsWithKeav]

You have leaking issues? That was my problem other than that it worked great. I will fix it at some point.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Glad I could be the one to let everybody know not to buy it. They hyped that thing up so much too!

[@larrydavisj]

That Griots foamer pretty much sums up a lot of their tools and products. Overpriced and disappointing.

[@CarsWithKeav]

They hyped it up so much too! SEMA they showed it to every KZbinr. How can a company that big say they designed it all and no proper testing or benchmarking before releasing?

[@philipm33]

I just watched their video- the performance is laughable and kind of embarrassing

[@wingedhussar5528]

The black foam sprayer from Amazon is trash. It foams well when you get the ratio right but will fail after about a dozen or so uses. The trigger design is crap. Water will eventually seep around the rubber no matter what you do. Overtime this will start to damage the circuit underneath the button, which will cause the sprayer to start spraying and not stop. If they make a revision to fix this issue it will be a great little sprayer but till then, it is a hard pass.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Weird mine has been going strong since this video and with harsh chemicals. I do clean the head out after every use like I do all my sprayers. Hopefully it’s isolated have not heard any other complaints.

[@wingedhussar5528]

@@CarsWithKeavI kept good care of it as well. I seen other reviews stating the same. Maybe they are just hit or miss.

Why do a lot of people call it Amazon stuff......its all Aliexpress stuff. Why do people shop at amazon? while China is the source and cheaper? I really dont understand why people do Amazon. But...great review!!

[@tigerrider6711]

Cause you can return it hassle free

[@CarsWithKeav]

One of a few reasons many prefer Amazon.

[@CarsWithKeav]

It’s all preference and most just prefer the no hassle buying experience with Amazon. Ali express has return limits per month and only free returns if the seller chooses. Of course lots of products on Amazon are not on Aliexpress and come from companies who sell only on their site and Amazon. Also, when it comes to helping pay for these reviews you would not make enough pushing Aliexpress links as you would probably get 5 times less click through to Aliexpress. Just the nature of the beast really. Agreed though many of these type of products would be cheaper through Aliexpress.

[@rich19727]

Bcuz it’s very easy and fast delivery 😮

[@josephkaple8923]

Amazon’s generic Chinese products are trash I would spend a little more for a brand name.

[@DryUrEyesMate]

These are painfully slow compared to IK

[@CarsWithKeav]

IK is the king of the foamers to me. That’s the difference between compressed air and electric pumps.

[@Magicinstalls]

Now that you've ruined two sprayers by running them bone dry…

[@CarsWithKeav]

They run just fine to this day. Somebody has to test the run time and that is what a review and testing video does. It’s for the science not for anybody to care how they are treated as you yourself will never use this sprayer. I use the Black and Yellow one quite regularly and no issues.

[@Magicinstalls]

@@CarsWithKeav not a very accurate test running them dry as there is no load on them.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@Magicinstalls Good enough to get a good idea of what you should be expecting in my opinion. If you want more accurate info with load I’ll let you buy all this stuff and do the proper testing on these film and post it. Then you’ll see no matter what you do somebody will be a critic.
