The All-New iK FOAM Pro 12 Detailing Pressure Sprayer | EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2019
- The Rag Company is proud to introduce the latest creation from iK Sprayers! The iK Foam Pro 12 is the successor to the popular iK Foam 9 and boasts some HIGHLY requested features: A Schrader valve for hooking up compressed air, a higher capacity body, and an even more durable construction with the PRO-specific wobble-free base.
Since iK Sprayers made their big debut in 2017, The Rag Company has worked closely with Goizper Group to create and promote the best detailing sprayers on the market. The iK Foam Pro 12 has been underdevelopment for over 2 years with the intention of a compressed air attachment. In 2018 the first prototype of the iK Foam Pro 12 was created and tested by The Rag Company and put through extensive use. With the production model in hand, the Foam Pro 12 is everything we could have wanted. The ability to create snow foam out of a “pump” sprayer was a huge step forward for the detailing industry. The Pro 12 delivers the best detailing foam we have seen from a pump sprayer and only gets better with the introduction of compressed air.
The Foam Pro 12 is able to foam car wash soap (shampoo’s), all purpose cleaners, carpet cleaners, and more. Users have the ability to change the style of foam from Standard, to Dry Foam, to Wet Foam, with the change of a tube. The new stable base and wand storage solution is a big improvement over the previous iK 9 Foam Sprayer. In this video, Anthony unboxes and reviews the iK Foam 12 Sprayer to show you what it’s all about!

I just bought one. Instruction manual is a pain to read and understand. Your video is very clear and concise. Thanks a lot. You guys are awesome.
Ha, ha, ha! I have been installing metal tire valves in my pump sprayers for a while! I haven't pumped a sprayer in ages! Great addition! Bravo IK!
PS - I do it to my handheld sprayers too (e.g., 50 oz). My only criteria is it has to have a pressure release valve for safety. I fill them until the pressure release valve opens and away I go. I hope IK modifies all of their sprayers no matter the size to incorporate this feature.
I just bought one and love the quality of the foam it produces. I'm using 6 liters of a 4% solution of Gyeon Foam in distilled water at 60 psi, with the default medium metering hose and the results are great. It is much more economical with the expensive soap that I use, so that will offset the high cost of this unit eventually. I use about 2 liters of solution to foam my sportscar completely, so it also uses less water than my previous foam gun that attached to a garden hose.
I live in a apartment so the coin wash is my sanctuary. This is a game changer and I have a tire inflator for my car that I'll try on this bad boy. Thanks for the great video!
Have you tried it? Looking to see more reviews
DAM!!! BOOM Happy I waited for this-
Wow - thanks for the very thorough video.
Good stuff Anthony, I like the color
Bought one, and I'm impressed.
Rt tu titix it ou in and 7 yi and and and bn un 7 it goes 6 yu 66 tuk u yu ut ut n7 g thi
I tried one today, and yes it’s definitely a great addition to any Detailers tool list.
Yvan Lacroix Yvan approved?
Mari0o0o approved, endorsed, and suggested!
@@LacroixCruiser If it wasnt for that Jaguar video you made with TRC, I wouldn't even have thought about this product.
Totally going to get one very soon, as my Kärcher Hot pressure washer is old and not easy to find the right snowfoam lance for.
Simon Bach thank you
@@LacroixCruiser Given from Simon's comment, I saw your videos and subscribed. Cool stuff
Love the pro 12.. only one issue with it is draining it.. only thing I miss from the foam 9 is the drain hole in the bottom. Having to turn it upside down to drain/recover product..
Ordered one!, 1st ik of any kind for me. Should be a fun tool.
Wow - very well thought out - I'm ordering
Great more stuff I have to buy that I don’t need!
Frank Martinez this one you need, I tried one today!
😂 right
I definitely need one of these in my life.
I use this to shampoo carpets in my house as well. I get a commercial "dry foam" shampoo and spray this down about a 1:30 ratio, brush the foam in with a silicon push broom then vacuum with my shop vac. Works great and way cheaper than cans of carpet cleaning foam spray since I have the sprayer for my car anyway. Need a specially formulated dry foam shampoo though so no sticky soap residue.
That’s interesting, I got one for my vehicle but I got a jute rag that need to clean and those I heard are delicate when washing. Can you please share the type of soap you use that dries up for you to vacuum?
Thanks
This guy was really getting his rocks off on that identifier label like that was the most revolutionary technological advancement in recent history.
😭😭
Hey guys so I bought a ik foam pro 12 and I used auto fanatic wheel cleaning foam in it and the foam was great but I diluted p&s break buster up to 3:1 and when I spray it does stay fanned it goes from a fan of foam to looking like it is just globing out of the center. How would u recommend to fix this and I also used distilled water.
Literally just received my Ik foam 9 two days ago SMH 🤦🏽♂️
Figures. I just picked up a new PF22. This unit would be good for indoor use. Maybe some foam followed by a rinse less wash?
Schweet.....just when I was looking to switch from a pressure washer foam cannon to a sprayer....cool!
Ordered!!
Can you use one of these without foaming... say for example with a product like speed shine as a super high capacity spray bottle or will it foam anything you put into it or what??
Great review and I'm excited for this product I always wanted the ik foamer but didn't want to potentially ruin it by adding a valve so I brought a cheap sprayer and put a valve but it leaks a little due to my craftsmanship. This answers my problems perfectly. Will your eu store be stocking these ?
@@theragcompany yes mate! Clean and shiney have it. Cheaper than id expected too. Thanks
My Ik 12 isn't holding pressure and is leaking from the wand handle where the lock is when pumped, do u think replacing with a new pro handle will fix my issue?
Looks good fellas
Great sprayer, definitely an upgrade to the IK 9. Question: How many OUNCES of a quality, concentrated snow foam car soap (Chemical Guys HoneyDew Snow Foam) do I mix with water to make 1 GALLON mixture? HELP PLEASE!
I do mobile detailing and i was wondering if i should get one of these with the chemical guys waterless wash do you recommend this?
Can you get extra spray tip filters for this unit ? Thanks much improved since hanging with Matt from Obsessed Garage.
Is there 1 for onr rinseless washing or comes with a different tip or strictly foam?
Excited and upset at the same time. I love my IK9 but I have to have this.
Did you need it?
Love that it does the hose-things, but can I use an inflator with it? (Seeing portable inflators are economical)
I'm receiving mine today from you guys.. how do I know how much product to use to get good foam? Car wash soap, wheel cleaner, iron Decontamination.
Where could you buy the filters for those. I live in Canada and can’t find them to replace mine
How do the actual pump mechanism's compare, between the Foam 9 and Foam Pro 12?
The water in my area is not good so within 2 weeks the white filter at the nozzle was clogged with dirt and caused the foam to come out unevenly. I have replaced the new one and used it very well, but there is one problem that the manufacturer provides these filters or not because only about a month later I don't have a new filter to replace. . Looking forward to hearing back soon so I can get things done with the amazing IK PRO 12 foam sprayer
What soap do think work best for this
If I get the foam pro 12 can I also just use it with plain distilled water or onr on days I just want to rinse the car and not foam it?
Hey Anthony! Serious question, is IK in the works for something battery powered and 45psi + ?
Was the drain port on the bottom removed?
Where did you source your Schrader valve for the hook up
Help please - at the 13min mark on video..... the pipe is stuck and will not come out. What can I do, to push it through to use the orange one??
So what did the green hose be the best for pre-wash soap?
What would you Suggest to clean an engine bay with chemical wise thank you
Nice 👍
7:54 anthony missed his opportunity to say "hose gonna be hose" lol
Can this be use for just water aswell? Rinsing.
I plan on pumping it myself until I get my hands on a compressor. I am going to start my own mobile detailing business. Is this better then a pressure washer? Or should I just buy a pressure washer instead?
Would it be possible to pressurize this with a tire inflator? or are those machines just not capable/compatible to be used with this?
my first thought too
im about to order one today
Are the other ones going on sale?
I mistakenly bought the multi pro 12 . Can I buy the foaming tubes and just switch them out?
Which color tube do i use if i simply water spray down my car?
what attachments do you recommend for a car wash
Drain Plug? Hope to see it on action really soon maybe a comparison video
Just bought ik9 last week, did not know that they have new ik pro 12
Can you use this as a non foam rinse less sprayer?
would have been nice if the pump handle would of have a few storage compartments for the hex cap (block off plate) and stem (valve), since the handle has grooves in it.
The colored cards go with what color tube you use 😉
So with the air pump attachment, you would still have to stop spraying and re-pump with air once the pressure is lost right? If you attached a wireless portable electric air pump, could you get uninterrupted spray time?
Someone made a video on this this month (August 2021), search for 'ik foam pro 12 hack'
Just got the IK foam pro 12. Brand new and not working properly. It sputters out product not consistently. (Like a tire releasing air with water in the tire.)
I have diagnosed it to the hose that connects the wand to the tank. Using just water, it flows freely from the pressurized tank. Attach the hose (without the wand) and water just sputters out like it is mixing with air or hose is blocked. The wand and sprayer tip appear fine.
So, any tips on how or why water coming out of the hose sputters? As i said a steady stream of water shoots straight up out of the tank, attach the hose and i would expect a steady steam of water, but just sputters out of the connecting hose (without the wand attached).
Tried cleaning the hose with running water and air. No improvement. Do i need a new connecting hose? It is brand new... 🤔
Same issue did you ever resolve it?
You sold it to me
BOUGHT ONE!!
Could I just leave my mix solution of brake buster in it until it’s used up. Instead of having to empty it each time! Thx
Best part of the IK 12 is that the 9 will be cheaper now hahah
Completely discontinued jokes on you
@@codyfrancis4474 seems not cause I got 2 for under $100 nice try tho
That air plug is a game changer. What if I was to use this solely with an iron remover that doesn’t foam, will it try to foam it and or come out in a smooth stream
Can't foam something that's not soap.. it's hard to create foam in first place as we know from trying to get a good foam gun😄
will it do termite foam
Ive seen the 1.5’s modded with a small battery operated pump. Constant foam action.
Does using a mini air compressor on the IK Foam 12 void the warranty if it's set to say 55 psi🤔
Can I return my old one and get this one?
Great vid! Looks like Im going to have to purchase one! Off topic, you kinda look like a cross between Patton Oswalt and Drew Carey
Any chance this is going to be made available on Amazon Canada at some point like the pro 2s ?
You can buy this at eshine or carzilla
Can I use a drying aid in one of these 👀
Is their going to be a sprayer version?
Just got it and put super clean 1:3 in it, total 2 gallons of solution. But even though I have changed it to the wet foam- orange tube tip, it's still producing a normal foam. Wanted to use this as a wet pre-wash but can't, any ideas where did I go wrong?
That is FAR too strong of a dilution. We would recommend going to a 10:1 dilution of water to product
So do I need to have this unit connected to the air compressor all the time? Or just fill it with air and disconnect?
Just fill it up and use. I think it's 51PSI
What ratio should I use to wash a SUV/truck?
What is my dilution rate for using Optimum Power Clean in the IK Foam Pro 12 pressure sprayer ?
So, that’s 10 parts water to 1 part Power Clean ?
Why wasn't the Schrader valve included? I just unboxed my iK and was seriously disappointed. That's why I got it. Please advise.
How do we clean it ?
What do you think about the Foam Pressure Sprayer from AMMONYC??
Hi Rag Company, Can the sprayer be used without generating foam? (heard about some trick, but don't quite understand yet :-) )
Hi Dominic, the "Foam" units will only foam due to the construction of the sprayer's plumbing design, if you're interested in traditional spraying, then you'd want to check out the "Multi" models. (Or, if you're a fan of stainless steel bodies, you could check out the Tint & PPF Sprayer)
Of course, there are people online who modify their sprayers with mixed results, but we don't endorse that sort of thing out of an abundance of caution. (You're dealing with highly-pressurized containers, after all)
My foamer will have a solution. The. Valve. For the air, it no longer squeezes and does not hold any air. How can I get the spare part?
It'd be nice if iK would come out w/ a 15 or 25 gallon sprayer. Would be good for us mobile detailers who want to mount this on a cart or on the back of a van.
I must have one.
Can this be used with Portable 12V Air compressor tire inflator for the car the same way, or would you have to find some type of other attachment ?
HarlemFinest155 one of those would work perfectly.
Yvan Lacroix that makes it even better now I can order my 12v tore inflator from Amazon then ik12. 😎
When I saw the others getting an update, I couldn’t wait for the new version of this
Has anyone used a portable air tank to fill the foam 12?
I have a 125 psi tank and curious how many fills it would provide.
Yorkiepoocharlie 5 gallon iirc. So i had a chance to try it with my modified 9.
I only had 100 psi in it. It filled the 9 about two times.
Hi there ,the little plastic piece that holds the filter sadly fell into a drain.wonder if you guys could point me in the right direction for a new piece of possible.cheerd
👏👍
Is this snow foam sprayer only used to encapsulate dirt, but still requires you to wash your car once the foam has dissolved
Can the sprayer be used without generating foam?
@@theragcompany mahalo 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Needs a short wand attachment like the Foam-it sprayer.
How much Adams foam per gallon do I put in it
mine sprays like has bubbles in the line what should I do to get a steady stream of foam
Mines like that too. I could never get it to work properly. It was like that brand new out of the box. Now it just sits in my closet and I use my pressure washer with foam cannon. 🙁
@@Weech. here i am a yr later same results and i just you it for interior jobs spraying the floor mats or carpet
Hi, I just received my Pro 12. Can I use the Schrader valve with the tire compressor that came with my Challenger? Also, can you pump the unit with the Schrader valve attachment installed or switch it back to the hex key plug? Thanks
I’m far from a detailer. Can I simply buy two for washing my car? One for a car wash solution, and one that just holds water? I unfortunately don’t have access to a hose.
How well does this work on Widebody Mustangs?
Hell with the ik12 I mod my ik9 and it works the same way.
How did you go about doing that? Thx
No one ever tests this by hand pumping. How many hand pumps needed?
Can u use a schrader valve bicycle air pump instead of a compressor?
boobtubebooboo yes, but thé built in pump will work as fast as a Bicyle pump.
@@LacroixCruiser But with a foot pump you could pump with your foot. I could see that being beneficial to some people, maybe.
What if im detailing a ,muddy car or truck
The tip was hard to remove for me. I ended up pulling the plastic tube off and then pushing the tip out. Was way easier.
