1/2 gallon sprayer

**blownvert** · 12-12-2007, 08:48 AM

I have seen a mister on here that people are using. To mist down or spray down the car before doing a ONR or QEW. I saw it from patrick on excel detailing. Is this recommended? Could also do the mister on wheels to wash away wheels.

I just got mine from Excel, it works great for an ONR wash.

Well you asked about using it for ONR. I don`t plan on using it for anything else. I have the 1/2 gallon.

This is America, you can use it for whatever you want to!

I have one from Home Depot. I think it`s a 2.5 gallon. I use it quite a bit. Just used it for the first time with ONR this past weekend and it worked good. I also use it to rinse out door jambs and other places I don`t want a heavy hose stream of water. I also use it when I clean carpets with the rinse water.

You can use it for whatever you want. I ordered one last night from Patrick at Excel Detail. I plan to use it to spray degreaser on my engine and bay, in my wheel wells, all over my paint to strip the sealant off before detailing the car. I will probably use it to spray water on my carpets to rinse them after shampooing them. Basically I will use it anytime I need to spray a few ounces or more of liquid so I don`t have to constantly be squeezing the pump on a bottle.

I looked at Home Depot last night before ordering from Patrick. They had a 1 gallon sprayer similar to Patrick`s that cost about $16. They had a half gallon sprayer but it didn`t come with a hose, it sprayed from a spout on top of it costing around $10. I wanted one with a hose to get into tighter places so I included one in my order from Patrick.

Go buy a sprayer at lowes and be done with it...

The one from Excel is good, I just fault the fact that it does not have a place to hold the wand when not in use. It gives a nice steady stream of water, though and is perfect for SUVs.

In the end it is just a "weed killer" sprayer. Before I got this I used a quart size plant sprayer for the same purpose from Walmart for about $6.00.

When I went to Home Depot, I could only find gallon sized ones, no half gallon. I assumed I would not be able to find them at Lowes either. Regardless, even with shipping, the costs were almost the same. Because of that, I would rather give my business to Patrick.

That`s cool.... You can usually find them with the garden chemicals and in the paint dept in the aisle with the exterior stains... The smaller ones are usually with the garden chemicals...

I think I saw those that you are talking about but the ones I saw did not have a hose and spray wand which I want to get into tight areas, the ones I saw just had a spout on top.
