    Garden sprayer to apply tire/wheel cleaner

    Anyone using a pnuematic garden sprayer to apply wheel and/or tire cleaner. I was thinking about trying this to help save me a few seconds on a mobile detail. I`m not sure if this method would work with gel type cleaners like Menzerna or Black Fire. I was thinking of trying it with the Meguiars APC for tires. I may even try it with Meguiars Hyper dressing.

    I am trying to develop a routine that would allow me to do a quality wash/detail in an hour, so any little time saving method will help.

    I guess it would work fine as long as the products aren`t too thick.They carry a small pump sprayer which hold about two quarts i use for 50/50 wipe down works great

    I saw on another forum where a guy was pouring Hyper Dressing in a spray can and using his compressor. I guess they garden type sprayer is the same thing w/o having to use a compressor.

    More then likely that type your not going to buy in your local Home Depot or Lowes.They use one like that at my Dealership all metal and stays pressurized but made for tires.

    I bought the cheapest Chapin model that Lowes has ($9.97). I put Megs APC in it for tire cleaning and it works great.
