IK e FOAM Pro 12

[Uncbrs]

e Foam Pro 2 is looking like mid January to ship right now.

In my most lazy way, what's the difference... If known? I can't imagine anything too crazy unless it washes & dries the vehicle for me?

The e foam pro 2 is a cordless foamer with a 2 liter capacity. it's rechargeable and will automatically pressure up and when you use it, it will turn back on the keep the pressure so you don't have to pump it up by hand.

smaller capacity than the e foam 12, no hand wand.

That seems like a good option for someone that lives somewhere that you don't have access to a compressor. I have moded all my pump sprayers that didn't have a Schrader valve to include a Schrader valve. Even my IK Multi Pro 12. It makes it very convenient as my compressor is only steps away from where I'm spraying them. The larger capacity pump sprayers can spray an entire vehicle on one charge.

If I limit my IK Foam Pro 12 to 1 gallon/4 liters of cleaning solution I can charge it with my compressor until the relief valve pops and get all the way around the bigger car once plus hit the worst of the back and the grille and mirrors a second time on just the one charge of air

I have found that approx 1/2 -3/4 gallon will be enough to do a prespray on the entire vehicle. For instance today I was able to presoak my Chevelle with 1/2 gallon while my Tacoma takes closer to 3/4 gallon to presoak. Those quanities do not include anything for wheels/tires as I usually use something other than rinseless on those. Also that is only a single application.

So somewhere I read something about the unused rinseless in the pump sprayer weakening/ diminishing if left in the pump sprayer for an extended period. As prior to reading that I would mix up as much as the sprayer could reasonably hold so next time I already had my prespray.
Not sure about the products abilities becoming diminished from sitting in the pump sprayers for a week or two?

I think I diminished the performance of my IK 2 foamer by leaving BH Auto Foam in there before I got my IK 12

There is a TRC video about tearing it down and doing maintenance and I need to do that and hopefully it is something simple like the felt or something

I learned my lesson and I dump my liquid out of my IK 12 back into the jug I mix it in and then run clean water through it

Trying to protect my investment although it is a PITA

I'd replace the felt. If you don't flush that after use, product can dry on it and it won't foam as well.

I will try that first

Thank you sir

Figured it's worth the thread revival. Is it worth it at $197 shipped?

Someone had to ask! The forum favorite House of Rags of course. Twice now they've done 25% off everything. Have to think some of this stuff they don't make money but possibly convert to future orders. But seems like it's a good use of the deal...
