Any Chemical Sprayers that don't suck?
I swear i have more chemical sprayers fail than anything else...and it becomes frustrating when i'm in my rhythm and all of a sudden....the sprayer fails.
Specifically with Iron decon products, Megs Wheel Brightener...and most other chemicals that are used often and liberally.
I'm curious if there are any sprayers out there that actually stand up to the test of time with these products.
Thanks in advance.

Check out Dallas Paint Correction. He is importing Marolex sprays and they seem to be made for heavy chemical products. Release date is 26 of September. Hope that helps.

I used Zep chemical resistant sprayers from Lowes and they work well. $3.28 so if you need to replace it doesnt break the bank. Of course it's always a good practice to clean the sprayer out after using a strong chemical so it doesn't just sit. Take the top off, put it in a clean bucket of water and pull the trigger until the chemical has been displaced.

Don't know if they have switched the descriptions of the products or the head picture of it. But the red compression sprayer from Kwazar is the acid resistant seals in it. This is not the same with the Kwazar spray bottles offered here.
Kwazar Venus Super HD Compression Sprayer
Kwazar Venus Super Compression Sprayer Pro
The Black Compression Sprayer has the seals that is resistant to solvent and petroleum and oil based products.
They have also a Dark Blue Compression Sprayer that has seals for the high alkaline based degreaser and APC.
The Light Blue Compression Sprayer has the seals that is more for the generic based products from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline based products.
These colors is also what they have in the more pro spray bottles. The ones offered on AGO is the generic seals.
Iron remover products needs to be haveing a metall free spray handle. The Red and Light Blue Compression Sprayer can be used with iron remover. But then it's important to have empty the sprayer head and also flush it with water to being holding up for a longer time. I useally take the spray head that I think was great from an iron remover spray bottle. There are different kind of seals that suits different kind of chemicals.
With the Red Compression Sprayer from Kwazar for useing Meguiars Wheel Brightener D140 is a great choice. When you do the last wheel I finish of with holding the sprayer upside down and spray until it just comes mostly air. Then pull the trigger on the pressure release button. This keeps them going for a long time before the seals goes out. And there are new seals to buy in spare parts kit to these.
So look up what kind of seals it is in the spray handle and what they are resistant against for chemicals. With the sprayer you buy. There is no sprayer head that is resistant to all kind of chemicals in the extreme range of ph levels and solvents. If it's just chemical resistant it's the viton seals in the quality that you get in the Kwazar spray bottles here on AGO and the Kwazar Foamer light blue.
Hope it helps you a little in your search.

Regardless of the sprayer, this is the best advice that can be given and followed.
I used various sprayers in the marine industry for over 20 years to spray very caustic acids.
A sprayer thoroughly cleaned after each use would last us for months. An uncleaned unit would last the work week (maybe).
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I had the same issue and gave up. I know use a pump garden sprayed with a gallon of wheel cleaner in it and zero issues for about 6 months and counting.

all sprayer heads will eventually fail, it's just a matter of when. flush after each use is all you can pretty much can do (i do this my foam gun and cannon as well) or turn the bottle upside down and spray until nothing comes out until next use. i always have extra sprayers just in case...

Tolco Sprayers. Gold / black version for acid based chemicals. Grey version for literally everything else. They last me months/years depending on the chemical and I never clean or rinse them out after each use.
