Well I bought them a while back and guess I havent used it yet. Today I decided to give my Saturn Ion a bath, as we all know our cars usually have to go on the back burner when there are customers cars lined up for weeks. I finally got a break in the action and got to it.

This is Meguiars D143 mixed 1:1 with an OPUS foaming sprayer. I sprayed it on the wheels and went to get my camera after seeing what it did so this has already been dwelling for over 25 seconds. I dont know if it foams ALL products this well but the Non-Acid wheel and tire cleaner OMG!!!

The foam was more of a stream than a wide angle spray so you have to spray a lot (but it doesnt use a ton of product comparatively) Ill admit I didnt like that fact BUT it works awesome. I love the D143 also even before I used the foamer.

I can officially say it doesnt work as well with Brown Royal wheel cleaner. Lucky for me I like the Meguiars better anyway. Ill be trying it on some 3D orange degreaser soon too. Will try to remember to update this thread.

Sent from my SM-G950U using TapatalkThe quick Google search I did it appears that it's just a foaming trigger sprayer, I'm sure OP can confirm one way or the other.

It's hard to beat the IK 1.5 for foaming, but the pumping kills me. I know get the bigger IK.

I know get the bigger IK.Agreed but spending 3 times the money is hard to justify but once the IK Foam 9 is primed you can easily do all 4 tires/wheels but then again having 1.3 gallons of tire/wheel cleaner can be "a bit much", LOL. I'm ok with pumping up the IK 1.5 for each wheel, plus it's easy to handle too.

I use my IK Foam 9 for pre-wash only or if the car is just dusty that pre-wash is the actual wash, just foam, dwell, rinsed, dry...DONE[emoji362][emoji876]

Sent from my SM-G950U using TapatalkHow many times do you have to re pump the foam 9 to go over your entire car?

Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app (http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=87407)I'd say about 3 times but that because in most cases I double foam the car and use the entire 1.3 gallons of solution. I get the tires and wheels foamed up too, doesn't matter that I've done them already, plus the wheelwells. Over doing it...yep, it's the only way I know how to do it[emoji876] Once the solution goes down you have more area inside so you have to pump more.
