Bottle Sprayer Design

[Megafast13]

I really have had little success when using the UQD, UQW, QID bottles. The misting is not even and after spraying it will drip down my hand. Not sure if it's my bottles but may just change up the sprayer a little down the road?

I have never had that problem with any bottle or sprayer.
The closest thing, is when I use M135 if I do not squeeze with the right force and speed some drips are bigger than others.
Try squeezing harder or faster.

I get drips sometimes when not pulling the trigger fully, on all the bottles really.

I was going to point that out. That sprayer head works best with a relatively swift, and complete pull of the trigger. Try adjusting your technique and let us know how that works for you.

For Last Touch I've been using a garden sprayer that I picked up from Home Depot for $9. The whole thing operates under air pressure hand pumped with the handle. The cool thing is that it's not something you have to constantly keep pumping because the bottle maintains pressure for a long time. The adjustable nozzle delivers a nice even coat of product to the car's finish with very little drip. The wand handle is extremely effective for delivering a nice mist over the roof and the angled nozzle makes it easy to upspray product along the rocker panels and under the bumper covers.



The sprayer pictured here is a two gallon tank, but I bought the one gallon model which is a lot easier to carry and maneuver around my vehicle.

Holy ****.. now thats a concept....

Do you spray everything, then go over with a towel to buff a bit?

Re: Bottle Sprayer Design

I do sections, just as if I were applying UQW or even washing the car. I use a MF mitt to spread the product and then go over it again with an MF towel to buff it off. It's important to adjust the nozzle flow to deliver the right amount of mist. There's also a little bit of technique involved that's easy to learn - once you release the trigger the nozzle will continue to spray for another half second, so you just have to time the end of your sprays.

That is a great idea. I wonder how it would work with the smaller pressurized sprayers for plants. Great idea.

I have and use several quart/liter sized pump up sprayers that I have been using for about a year. They were about $3 or less at the Family Dollar store. They are a seasonal item and they should be in stock soon if not now.
They work good for me and seem to be holding up good. Brass nozzle, cheap construction, (Hey, it was $3), made in China.

Re: Bottle Sprayer Design

The best part is you don't have to keep squeezing a trigger handle like you do on a traditional spray bottle. You just press the garden sprayer trigger with your thumb and you get a continuous mist because the air pressure in the bottle continues to force the liquid through the nozzle. You can even lock the handle to keep the mist spraying if you want.

I've only used the garden sprayer with LTD, but I'm sure it would be equally effective if I were to pour a couple of bottles of UQD in one as well.

A little update on the Family Dollar pump up spray bottles.
1. They were only $2.50
2. And probably of some interest. One of them started leaking out of the molding seam at the bottom of the bottle. Obviously it is now junk. Might have been junk from the start. So far it has only happened to one.

I laughed pretty darn hard when I saw that pump and sprayer...
