Answers to questions about cleaning guns, spray guns, and detailing accessories.
Cleaning and Washing Guns
- Classic: Basic models (e.g., 002, 004) for beginners. They have a rotary tube and reach 3000-5000 rpm.
- Blue Storm: Reinforced construction (45° connector, better materials) with parameters similar to Classic (approx. 7500 rpm).
- Black Storm (PRO): The highest professional series. Instead of a tube, it features a bearing mechanism (Made in Japan), providing immense durability and speeds up to 10,000 rpm. Ideal for continuous work.
This is crucial for the tool's lifespan! Follow these steps after each use:
- Pour out the remaining chemicals from the tank.
- Pour in clean water and "shoot" it (submerging the nozzle in a bucket of water or into the air) to thoroughly rinse the internal tube and mechanism.
- Blow out the gun "dry" with air only for about 10 seconds to dry the bearing.
We also recommend periodically oiling the air connector (1-2 drops of pneumatic tool oil).
BENBOW guns (e.g., Black Storm) require a constant working pressure of approx. 6 - 6.2 bar (approx. 90 PSI).
- Minimum requirements: 50-liter tank, blow-out capacity approx. 200-250 l/min.
- Recommendation for PRO: Compressor with a 100L tank to ensure a smooth workflow without breaks for air "recharging".
Spare Parts and Service
Yes, we continuously sell consumable parts such as replacement tubes, horns, bearings, and nozzles for spray guns.
We offer a standard 12-month warranty for B2B customers and 24-month for retail consumers. You can submit complaints via our contact form or by email.
Chemistry and Safety
We recommend using universal cleaners (APC) or dedicated upholstery washing liquids. Avoid strong acids, solvents, and chlorine-based agents, which can damage internal seals and the mechanism.
Yes. Due to the micro-spraying of chemicals and airborne debris, we always recommend wearing safety goggles, a filtering mask, and hearing protection (guns connected to a compressor generate noise).
Painting (PK Series)
- PK60 Mini: Designed for minor repairs (spot repair), painting rims, and motorcycles. Available nozzles: 0.5 - 1.2 mm.
- PK80 (PRO Series): For professional painting of entire elements. High precision, HVLP or LVMP technology. Nozzles: from 1.3 mm (base/clear coat) to 2.5 mm (spray putty).
- Classic: Great value for money, ideal for hobbyists and semi-professionals.
HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) is a low-pressure technology. The gun uses a high volume of air at a lower exhaust pressure.
Advantages: Significant material savings (less "in the air" dusting, so-called overspray), better paint transfer to the element, and eco-friendliness.
Dry Blow-out (Venturi)
BENBOW guns with a Venturi nozzle (e.g., SKU 000050) use the laws of physics to suck in additional air from the surroundings through side openings. This increases the volume of blown air by up to 100% without significantly loading the compressor. This is an ideal solution for quickly drying large surfaces (e.g., car bodies after washing, floor mats).
Accessories (Buckets, Separators)
The separator (placed at the bottom of the BENBOW bucket) physically separates clean water from dirt. Sand and debris sink to the bottom and are blocked by the separator grid, preventing them from rising back up in the water. Thanks to this, when rinsing the mitt, you don't pick up dirt again, which prevents scratches (so-called swirls) on the paintwork during washing.
Buckets and Food Containers
Yes, our food containers are made of certified plastic free from harmful bisphenol A (BPA) and have the appropriate certificates allowing direct contact with food.
Yes, the containers tolerate a wide range of temperatures: from -20°C to +85°C.
Purchasing, Distribution, and Training
On our website, we only conduct B2B sales directly. Retail customers can purchase our products from our official distributors: See the list of distributors.
Yes! If you want to expand your knowledge and learn about our working techniques, we invite you to participate in our events. More information can be found here: BENBOW Events.
