I am looking for suggestions for a durable spray bottle nozzle that withstands the "ammonium bifluoride and cationic surfactants" that eat regular spray nozzles. I tried the SprayMaster bottle "chemically resistant sprayer" with a 5-year guarantee from Home Depot, but it did not last two weeks (went through 2 of them and Home Depot would not take them back). I dilute my Wheel Brightener 4:1 as suggested on the gallon jug.
I have been using a empty Eagle One A-to-Z wheel cleaner bottle with the nozzle it came with, and that did last about 6 months, even with rinsing it out after each use. But alas, it ,too, succumbed to the bifluoride.
I`m kinda stuck using the Wheel Bightner as I have a gallon jug to go through yet. It really does work well on the neglected wheels I do for family and friends. But if there isn`t a good spray nozzle that can withstand the harsh chemicals in Wheel Brightener, then I`m in a quandary as to what to do, other than re-using old Eagle One A-to-Z bottles.
Which brings up another point: How many of you detailers save old sprayer bottle nozzles or bottle/tube caps. I have a small collection just because I KNOW that I will invariably drop a spray bottle and break the nozzle OR turn the adjustable nozzle too tight for a fine spray pattern, and then squeeze the trigger too hard and break it off (Poor design, if you ask me). I`ve lost a few caps as well (where did that cap go??!!)and it`s nice to have a suitable replacement available from my "junk" collection.
