Cheap vs Expensive Sprayers......
So I'm buying detailing stuff and just revisiting the whole IK sprayer craze....and once again, a bit on the selling prices of these things
IMO this stuff is so overpriced or maybe not ....
For manual sprayers, because either I drop them, etc - but I prefer 24oz regular spray bottles with Grey or Gold Tolco Heads
For my upgraded foamers - compression I have 3 Solo' (two for foaming, and one for waterless)
If I want any larger capacity beyond that, I will do a Milwaukee battery powered sprayer with -multiple tanks- and the appropriate head off the wand.
I think anyone spending the spend on the manual IK sprayers are way overpriced....
I ordered the IK large tank ones and IMO, it was just a much cheaper version of a commercial grade pesticide/insecticide sprayer from a build quality standpoint.
Everything from the wand, the hose, the wall thickness of the tank/bottle etc.
It's the same now with all these so called auto detailing pressure wash stuff out there....
All this stuff has existed years ago from all good brands that has served he cleaning pressure washer folks for years...

Oooh, Milwaukee sprayer?? Well, I only have the little red batteries, not the big ones, and not 45 of them like you.

I will say I wish the hose on my IK Foam Pro 12 was a better quality. That said, I've had zero issues so far

For a RW pre-rinse sprayer, I've been very happy with my 2L Tovia electric plant sprayer.

I’ve been happy with my 1.5L Kwazar pump sprayers. I’ve had them for years and they still work perfectly even being stored outside.

Yeah, but you live in LA, that's not like being outside, that's "outside".

They may not see freezing temperatures, but they get plenty of sun. Look at how faded the white 1 is.

Re: Cheap vs Expensive Sprayers......
I love my IK Foam Pro 12. I also have an Ik Foam Pro 2 which has worked flawlessly for many years. That being said....when it comes to pump sprayers (not foamers)...I buy cheapie HDX sprayers from Home Depot. I use them for spraying APC....and they have been well worth the money.
