PB Spray and Rinse

First and foremost, I am a big fan of this product, but not the packaging. I order mine through AutoGeek, and have yet to get an appropriately sized sprayer for the bottles I am purchasing. (32oz) The sprayer is always too long to fit down into the bottle and then screw on.



Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I purchased a Wal-Mart "industrial cleaning" spray bottle and it worked for a little, but I feel as if the chemical in spray and rinse have somehow clogged/degraded the sprayer, so it no longer works. I then attempted to use an empty Sonus spray bottle I had lying around, and it did the same thing: worked for a little, and then stopped after doing 1 detail.



Any advice or experiences with this would be great.



Thanks. :sadwavey:
 
Sprayer's are ususally a little longer , you should be able to put the sprayer in and just push it down and screw on the cap. that's what I do , work's ok. PB product's saves some money on packaging ,but it also reflect's on very cheap sprayer's. product's are good stuff though.



are you talking about spray & wipe or the wheel cleaner ?
 
Yeah man, if you shove the sprayer down you should be able to wedge the bottom in a corner and bend the straw so that it can screw on.

The wheel cleaner.



Ill try to shove it down into a corner, but the last time I tried that I feel like it placed too severe of a crease in the sprayer-tube so that it wouldnt work properly... :(
 
The PB S&R is a strongly acidic cleaner. If you aren't diluting the concentrate, then I'm not suprised that you are having troubles going thru spray bottles. Even if you are diluting, you need a specific acid-resistant polyethylene bottle with viton o-ring seals to help slow down the acid from attacking the seals.



Also, please be careful spraying the S&R due to the HF acid content. You never want to get any of it into your lungs or on your skin or into your eyes.
 
I always take the sprayer out of the bottle and rinse it after every apllication. I never leave the sprayer in the bottle after use. It will extend the working life of the sprayer if this is done.
 
I ordered some chemical sprayers from usplastics.com. That solved the problem I was having with the sprayers getting clogged. By the way, you should change the topic to Spray n' Rinse so as not to get others confused that you are really talking about the wheel cleaner as the previous poster mentioned.

The title is Spray and Rinse. :nixweiss I would think on a site like this, Spray and Wipe (the QD/Cleaner) would be easy to tell apart from Spray and Rinse (the wheel cleaner)...maybe im giving you guys to much credit. :doh

I've also had very good luck with products from US Plastic.
 
I would order the stuff directly from Steve (Poorboys ) and you'll most likely get the correct sprayer for the bottle you order. He also carries a chemical resistant sprayer that should last a long time, but I would still run some water through it after each use of the S&R.



The sprayers are listed under Accessories on his website.
 
I get all my PB stuff from Steve and yes the sprayers are corect from him and he also provides the chemical resistant sprayer for the wheel cleaner

i thought this was solved a while back.



It's not HF, it's ABF.



yes when cut with water a reaction takes place that basically makes HF, that being said in the shipped state it is ABF.

I did and had to cut the tube off a little bit for it to work. no big deal, took all of 5 seconds, no worries.

Real nice, real nice. Did it occur to you that the person just wanted to clarify which product you were talking about? In truth, it really wouldn't matter but I think that crack was uncalled for.... :nono especially when asking for help/opinions.

It was a joke....a crack at the enormous number of acronyms that get thrown around on Autopia more than anything else. ;)
 
Actually the tubes are long for a reason...they curl around the sides of a bottle.....it keeps them from pressing against the bottom or sides and allows for more product to be used before refilling.
