    Leaky 303 sprayer

    Anyone else had this happen?

    I bought the uv interior protectant and fabric guard. When using both, it leaks all over my hands. At first I thought maube it was a faulty bottle until I received another 303 sprayer with the same exact issue.

    If I like a product I typically but a bottle of it and then a gallon refill. With a horrible sprayer, I think buying the larger refill size makes more sense.

    Leaky 303 sprayer

    Ditto...I have the Protectant and the bottle leaks every time you squeeze the trigger! I think I’ve wasted a quarter of the bottle in my hand, very disappointing.

    The actual trigger comes out of its housing and you have to place it back it in!

    Have you tried reaching out to the manufacturer? I usually swap bottled products to my own bottles and label them.

    Good idea! I just did. Will let everyone know if anything comes of it.

    Strange. I've used both of those products and haven't experienced any leaking when using the sprayers

    Yes the sprayer on my 303 Touchless Sealant was dumping more on my hand than on the paint on first use, so I swapped it out immediately with an extra. Not sure how much we can fault 303 for the sprayer in this case, this one that they're using in particular is a very common style of sprayer used throughout this industry and many others.

    We certainly cannot fault the consumer. I don't say this in a disrespectful way, but ultimately 303 choose to use these triggers.

    You're absolutely right on that one. Usually this sprayer has been pretty good and leak free on most of the other products I've used it with, but if many are having trouble with it on a particular product like 303 Touchless Sealant, I'm wondering if they received just a bulk shipment of defective sprayers from a particular batch from their sprayer/bottle supplier. Could also be something in the chemical clumping/clogging up when spraying.

    I've been trying to keep an eye on sprayer tops in general to see which ones I like the best and are the most consistent, and I keep coming back to the OPUS plastic sprayer tops, the red/white ones you find on the Griot's Garage 22oz bottles. Just love the spray pattern and I've only had one fail on me over the years that I can remember.

    My last bottle of 303 Touchless Sealant also leaked. I emailed my contact and told them about it but didn't hear back, think I need to send another email. That said, I encourage all of you experiencing this issue to reach out to them as well.

    Sound like it might be a common problem.

    I purchased my 2 bottles of 303 from different vendors (one being agn) at different times with both leaking
