pressurized spray

**biff** · 05-23-2003, 09:33 AM

I just had a "lightbulb moment":

Has anyone ever tried one of those pump-up pressurized garden sprayers for applying chemicals like carpet cleaner to a large area?

I would think it would give you great coverage and save a lot of trigger squeezin`.

If you could regulate the flow, I`ll bet you could use it for just about anything; engine degreaser, quick detailer, wheel well dressing...

Just a thought.

The carpet cleaner who work in my buliding use pump sprayers to apply a pre-treatment.

The cleaners use a larger sprayer like this one:

If you were doing a large vehicle this would be great time and money saver, over buying new spray bottles.

Yeah, I have started using Pressurized bottles. They are a life saver. I`ve put several different chemicals in them and they work great. I have 2 of the Craftsman style and 2 others (that I picked up from a local home improvment chain who`s name startes with an "L". I am not impressed with the "L" bottles. Maybe the "L" is for lousy.) Needless to say the pressurized bottles are awesome.

I`ve been using them for years.....Alot easier to spread chemical...and very inexpensive...

great idea and time saver. I have been using them for years..., all sizes and styles, from a 16oz air refillable ( those are really cool! ), to a 3 gallon pump up to the 2qt hand held size. I rarely use a trigger sprayer, except for small jobs.

Detail king offers a better one. Its a little more expensive, but you hook an air compressor up to it to pressurise it. They are called stainless steel sprayers.

Here`s the one I use. Great for applying fabric guard protection.

How does the Sure Shot stand up to acidic substances? I guess after the while the rubber inside the sprayers rotts or wears out due to the substance you`re spraying. I picked up some great 1 quart sprayers from Wal-Mart. They work pretty well.

mrjwhit,

Not sure how it stands up to other chemicals. I only use mine for fabric guard protection, and so far - it works like the day I purchased it (in July 2002).
