APC and foaming sprayers= rinse when done?

[roushstage2]

I just got my large order in from ADS today. In it, I ordered a gallon of APC, two APC bottles, and two foaming sprayers. My question is, since these aren't the chemical resistant ones, should I wash out the sprayers after using them? My guess would be yes, but just want to double check if I should or not.

I never have, and it is going on two years now at least....

You will be just fine without rinsing.

OT: If however you are using Wheel Brightener with the Chemical Sprayer, I would rinse it after each use. I have posted that before, but just in case someone new to the Forums see this...

I have followed your suggestion Tim since I bought some Wheel Brightener. The sprayer has not failed me yet!

+1 to what has been said. I haven't had any problems with my sprayers and I've never rinsed them.

I did notice the foam disc on the bottom of the gallon cap is dissolved on my gallon of APC+. Bad foam? Strong APC+? Not sure.

I've never had a chemical resistant sprayer and never had sprayer deterioration

I use the hand pumps on my APC... they seem to be holding up fine as well with no rinsing, hopefully the same would be true with APC+.

+1 here. Although, I imagine APC and APC+ would be pretty "potent" in their undiluted form.
