Getting a little burnt out on detailing

Enlighten my. What do you use it for.

It is a sprayer or something hooked up to a compressor.

I was tired of squeezing my spray trigger a million times to do wheels, other atomizers kept breaking and/or wasting too much product. This little guy was perfect, expensive but well worth it. German made awesomeness. I'm definitely ordering the other variants for other products that I use a ton of like Apc, etc.

I think I need one or two now haha. I looked up this video earlier. Looks like it has great pressure if this guy is using the same thing.


 
No question about it IMO, having good equipment makes this stuff a lot more enjoyable.

Speaking of which...while I do *really* like the Flex 3401 for serious correction, it's not as user-friendly as something like the GG6 and thus I only get out the Flex when I really need to cut paint. For any other RO/DA work I reach for something else.

What're the differences between the Kwazar HD and Pro? the descriptions seem pretty similar and price is the same.

The only differences I know of is that the Kwazar brand has been out for several years - I think more than 5 years...

If I'm understanding you question correctly, the black one is the HD version, it uses a brass nozzle as opposed to a plastic nozzle on the Pro, red one and is their answer for more caustic chemicals. I use products like IronX in it. If you don't have that need the red one and the black one are basically identical and the spray pattern is as well. The blue one is physically larger and is a foamer instead of a sprayer. The thing I've really liked about these sprayers compared to some of the other pressurized sprayers I've owned is the simple fact that these hold pressure. Even weeks later I'll grab one of these and it still has pressure.

I've had a garden type sprayer like that (w brass nozzle) used it for spray and rinse. It died after about 1 month.

Ones I use for spray and wipe etc are fine.

Mine did too but then I unscrewed the big plastic tube that goes down, pulled out the rod and just had to straighten out the o-ring that some how popped out of its seat.

Luckily it still works after dropping it

Yup, that's what i meant(sorry for the confusion) , so it looks like the one with brass would be the way to go since i'd be getting better quality for the same price.

Spray and rinse is caustic to a certain degree. Did it happen with spray and rinse or onr or similar for you?

ONR for me. For some reason when you said spray and rinse I was thinking spray and wipe. That makes sense with it failing with spray and rinse. Speaking of bottles failing, I had some car pro spotless that ate through the bottle it came in. I'm done with ever using that stuff again.

I lost the mojo for detailing this year. I would have back pain for a few days afterward, but still push through cause I need the money. Then the back went out, and I had surgery. I am still doing physical therapy and hope to get back to my day job soon. I have had a long time to think and I have concluded that things happen for a reason, I guess I got my wake-up call to stop and take care if myself. So, my car will be looking better soon since I won't have to neglect it while I did other cars.
It will be clean and waxed, but forget that show car crap, after all, it's just a daily driver. I am looking to spend more time with family.

How well I understand. Back pain, high blood pressure, and 100º + working conditions almost took me out. I almost fainted and would have busted my gourd on the concrete had I not caught myself. That was it for me. I finished what I was doing since I was being paid and that was it. That was a few years ago. Today I don't even wash our own cars due to the heat. I just can't deal with it anymore. Getting old ain't for sissies but it makes me feel sissified sometimes.

I gave away a full bottle of spotless to my neighbor after the problems I heard about here....
