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!

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!

@kikcodog 4 жыл бұрын

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 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.

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. .

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... 🤔

Hi Rag Company, Can the sprayer be used without generating foam? (heard about some trick, but don't quite understand yet :-) )

@theragcompany Жыл бұрын

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)
