As long as the weed sprayer has an adjustable air intake nozzle to create foam then it should work
I might recycle one of my 5 litre weed sprayers... Thanks for the idea. (starting to sound like Gonz!)

Loving it. She texts and calls every day.The last few times were about what 'high beam' means and whether the centre rear view mirror is adjustable by hand and what octane fuel to use.Today she called to tell me she was driving with the sunroof open. While we spoke (using the Android Auto in-car hands free) the lane departure warning chimed, which gave us a laugh.

That sounds like my wash routine, at least for the first 3 months, for the next year it's a thorough wash with the Karcher, and finally it slips to an annual visit to Car Lovers In all seriousness, while the IK 9 looks great, if your a bit cost concious I'm sure you could get get very similar results with one of these Nylex 12L Backpack Garden Sprayer | Bunnings Warehouse

super concentrated 250-1 can get in 4ltr container as well at much better value

With a name like K-9 you can probably use it on your dog too!
Spoken like a true cat lover.
So, is this foam applied to a dry car or does the power rinse have to be there first...
I use all Bowdens products on my car. Generally snow blow with their snow cannon, followed by two bucket wash with nanoliscious, dried with boss gloss and finished with AfterGlow.
