    There is a detailing website that sells the same model that's rebranded for them. IK has some foamers with schrader valves for pressuring up with an air compressor but nothing electric. SPTA makes a cordless foamer/sprayer, which I also have, but that's heavier than the plant sprayer and now selling for double the cost. The one thing I don't like about the plant sprayer is there's just one button. If accidentally you hit that, it will spray until you turn it off. The SPTA has a power button and a spray trigger so that's not a problem.

    Good idea for soaps.

    Frankly, all soaps should come with one.

    Re: What have you REPURPOSED?

    For battery powered sprayers, I have been using the Solo 460Li like crazy recently.





    These were probably designed for gardening/floristry more than anything but they work so well for rinse-less washing.



    So well that I bought another two...........



    I like how these aren't as bulky as the pump action type sprayers. The spray head even screws onto common spray bottles, although due to the weight, I would say they would be better used on the larger 1lt bottle sizes compared to these 500ml versions -

    That's the one I have. I got a couple of them branded Tovia off amazon for like $20 ea. Downside of that one is if it tips over it leaks, and I don't think the electronics in the head are very sealed if it spends time on it's side. (haven't tried to take mine apart to look, just from what I read on reviews like you did).

    Re: What have you REPURPOSED?

    If you like to butter your pads with product and you have access to a restaurant supply store try one of these nylon sandwich spreaders

    $2 or so vs $18 for the Rupes Claw



    I either blow out pads or use a stiff fingernail brush to clean them so I don’t miss the brush function on the Rupes tool

    You can also get the bins that hang on the side of your cart from them too.

    Good to know

    I’ll be looking for a cart and cart accessories at some point
