As I watch your videos I grow to care more about my truck. We have been getting more and more snow here in MN. Do you have a suggestion on safest brush to clean snow off?

[@odiespankers07]

Can you control what psi the compressor pumps to, or is it specific? Wondering because this compressor could also be used to pump up tires, etc.

[@fillflashdetailer8838]

I bought one of these a couple of months ago, and in all honesty, has been the best accessory purchase I've made in years. Expensive, but worth every penny.

[@aimonecastellacci1618]

Good Morning Pan! I see your videos and I especially enjoyed the one in October with Matt from OG! Just 1 question- I drive my GTD gold here roughly 100 miles a day here in Florence, Italy and I need to put a coating on my wheels- I used Csl+ exo in 2021 when I first purchased it, and then Geyon Synchro last year . Both did not last long! What is your advice? Matt now adds DLux +gliss- After I wash my wheels I also top them with Geyeon wet coat! Here in Italy a lot of people use this local brand Labocosmetica! Thanks

Yup, it's expensive but then again, worth it. Can't wait to get the compressor attachment when available here in my country!

That IK is definitely the "Ferrari" of Pump Sprayers. The battery is a nice option on the IK for people who do not have an air compressor. Hope you are well Pan the man!

Way to go Pan, its now on backorder. Best seller on the tube. congrats

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I can’t control that lol

[@videomaniac108]

Thanks for showing useful items like this, Pan. I just got the Ik 12 pro manual and love how it works. I mix a 4% solution of Gyeon Foam in distilled water in the tank with the grey(default) solution metering hose and pump the tank up to the max pressure(about 60 psi). The result is great quality foam that clings very well to my coated car. Because it's a pump sprayer, it's more economical on the amount of expensive soap that I use and also uses less water than the foam gun I had been using. I use about 2 liters of solution with about 80 ml of soap to wash the entire car.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your personal experience with it. It's a nice tool to have in one's detailing arsenal. :)

That is absolutely amazing. I will be moving into a new shop this fall so this will open up huge possibilities for washing indoors with little to no noise.

Keep up the great videos. I can’t wait for the next one. You always do amazing content. Thank you.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Jeff. Just keep in mind, the machine isn't doing the dirt removal, the snow foam you put in it does. And there are only a handful of snow foams that are actually meant for deeper cleaning, like Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam and CarPro Lift which I have demonstrated in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpuYlX2Lgp15mJY And regardless how good a pre-wash snow foam is, you always need to follow up with a contact wash for 100% clean surface. ;)

[@Jimihx1142]

I have had this Ik machine for 2/3 years now. Pretty nice, but the wand nozzle filter needs more perfecting as it gunks up too easy and requires cleaning. Ik should offer bags of replacement nozzle filters because at the moment you have to buy the entire nozzle tip and the retail sellers are charging $15 for replacement tips. Improve the nozzle filter system!

[@ingvarjohanngubergsson1181]

Great option for those who dont have pressure washers. Myself will still prefer the original foam cannon

IK foam pro 12 is great with the compressor I use it to foam down my Yukon xl and it suits me well since i don’t have a pressure washer or foam cannon but it allows me to lay down a hefty amount of foam. Definitely one of my most useful purchases. The compressor is such a time and arm saver

[@G20Gabe]

I use the Ik foam pro 12 alone as my foam cannon it’s 100% better then the foam cannon that attaches too the pressure washer it’s way less runny and sits on the paint longer giving u more time especially in direct sun which as a professional detailer I’m in all the time I’m incredibly glad IK released the air compressor pack they know them selves the Ik foam pro 12 has insane potential too replace traditional foam cannon also saves me more water considering I only use my pressure washer for rinsing instead of rinsing and foaming the psi on the IK is perfect

@@HarryBallsss ofc bro and depends how much you fill it up the less air the less pumping the more air the more pumping my advice too u is fill it with a gallon of water then whatever soap of your choice but in terms of how much it needs too be pumped it does take a bit of pumps for it too be at max pressure but for me it’s no issue but the battery is 100% worth it regardless if u wash ur own car or detail car’s professionally like I do

It is a good comparison of what you can get as an expert for maybe mobile detailing.

Any experience using the air compressor as the pressure charger for the unit instead of the battery compressor? Useful time, consistency of spray etc. I think I like that method as opposed to the battery charging. I used a pump sprayer now for wheel/tire cleaning to avoid all that hand fatigue with manual spray heads.

Using an air compressor yields the same foam, it’s just that you have to refill with air more often as compared to having the IK compressor on the sprayer keeping perfect pressure automatically. It’s convenience.

I just moved to a condo with an underground car washing bay these days, however, those coin washing machines do not provide thick foam AT ALL. So people can just wash their cars without any safe pre-wash. Previously, I used a cordless pressure washer with a foam cannon to create thick snow foam. However, every time I need to carry 3 buckets of water to the washing bay it wastes a lot of effort and time. More importantly, the foaming process is not stable all the time. Sometimes I got a good foam but sometimes don't, that's also the reason why I buy IK e FOAM pro 12. I was amazed by this product (although it is quite expensive), I don't need to bring one more extra bucket anymore and I can create nice and thick foam easily. But these days I switch my pre-wash shampoo to Bilt Hamber touchless shampoo and suggest a PIR dilution ratio of 2~5%. Anyone knows how to calculate this on IK e Foam 12? (It is quite different to the usual PIR calculation process on other pressure washer...)👍

[@davidc-l9174]

I realize surfactants are needed for foam, but can this be used with products like ONR as a pre-treatment spray?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I would go for a more regular IK Multi Pro 2 for that task. Here's a link: amzn.to/3mjVhxb

[@gabrielsong7638]

Usual great video Pan! I’m just considering between multi 12 pro plus and foam pro 12. My main chemical is DIY rinseless wash but i also like foaming. Could you recommend me between multi and foam?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

That's impossible. If you want to use a pump sprayer for a rinseless wash, you need to use a normal sprayer like the Multi. If you want to foam a product like a snow foam or wheel cleaner, you have to get a foaming pump sprayer like the Foam Pro 12. You need two separate tools for two different kinds of products.

[@gabrielsong7638]

@@PanTheOrganizer Sorry i think i caused some confusion here. What i meant is that i like to use DIY detail rinseless wash. I both like it in my marolex 2000 foamer and marolex 2000 pump sprayer. Just wanted to ask you what would you recommend me if i can choose only one for upgrade now

[@Thunder61rd]

Hi a have a question can i use ik 2 pro with portable compressor For a constant supply of foam?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I don't have the answer to that. But they do make an IK Foam Pro 2 version called 2+ that has a shrader valve so you can pressurize it with a compressor. Here's a link: amzn.to/48F9MxI

[@logicreason7672]

Hi Pan! I’m Paul. I enjoy your videos and the links you provide. I’m a bit new to detailing. I’d like to know how one determines a chemical is a surfactant (foaming properties). Something simplified would be great if that’s possible. Is there more than one way to determine if a chemical can be used as a foaming agent? Thank you and have a great day! :)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on KZbin as we surpassed 900,000 subscribers and we have over 116 million views! I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. For this foam pump sprayer, basically you'd use a shampoo or snow foam, or a foaming wheel cleaner like Brake Buster dilute 1:5 or the Auto Fanatic Foaming Wheel Cleaner.

Pan, if you had to pick between a foam cannon or the e ik foamer, which one would you choose?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Foam cannon all day. More foam, more efficiency, more speed.

[@kaafromoz]

For me Pan it's hands down the IK-E sprayer that wins, it not only sprayed better it handled the job with ease. Ty mate enjoyed seeing is excellent product in action and as always your brilliant description and details. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks man!

[@SilveryFoxster]

Great review Pan. Could this pump be used for no-foam applications such as spraying citrus solutions. Thanks.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

This particular version is meant for foaming type products. I don't know if they have a regular battery powered sprayer.

[@SilveryFoxster]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan

[@AcuraAddicted]

I do the same with my portable Xiaomi inflator.

[@ShebanFPV]

I wish they have produced a smaller version, half the size 😅 it would be a bit cumbersome to carry it to a self service car wash ))) are there any alternatives with 3-5 ltrs capacity?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Not yet. But perhaps they are thinking of smaller versions.

[@jserrano316]

Thank you for this! Pan what would you recommend to pair with this when you don't have access to running water for rinsing all the foam off of the car?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Foaming wouldn't be your best case if you can't rinse it off with a garden hose or pressure washer. A rinseless wash would be a better option. See my tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmabiminh8lmhbc

[@jserrano316]

@@PanTheOrganizer thank you!

[@Ecdetails]

Pan, what are your thoughts on the battery vs just using the air compressor? every so often? Were you able to test how much more time it was between the compressor always being on IKE vs going to your air compressor and filling it?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The mini compressor on this is so quiet, and it makes you so much more efficient in my opinion. If you can afford it, get it. If not, the second best is to use the valve with a regular air compressor, but those are nosier for sure, and you'll have to revisit the air compressor more often, so it's not as practical in my opinion. But still works better than hand pumping, that's for sure.

[@Ecdetails]

@@PanTheOrganizer thanks sir! Efficiency is always worth the extra cost

[@joesoap7335]

At that price you'd be better off buying a pressure washer for multiple purposes house garden driveway just to mention a few but . great video as usual cheers Pan

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for watching Joe!

[@arthurpolin8194]

Can this be used as a plain sprayer without some thing that foams?eg, rinsless wash?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

This is meant for foaming chemicals. Use the regular IK Multi Pro 2 for use as a regular sprayer with liquids like rinseless washes.

[@arthurpolin8194]

Thanks but wouldn’t this unit spray longer, provide more pressure and without the need for having to manually pump? (Or is there some reason that makes it less than ideal for non foaming applications)

Hello again wats dilution for gsf in foam cannon?

[@jamiele296]

Wow that was very much noticeable how thicker and dense the foam is from the battery model. Was the air compressor used for this trial or just the battery on its own. I don’t own a air compressor

Just the battery.
