36 Ounce Detail Bottle

Alright well I'm glad I'm not the only one, I guess.

Same thing has been happening with my WG Detail spray, it will mist but at the same time a friggen straight stream shoots out the left lol, I cannot figure out why. Can't use it anymore as it makes a mess no matter the angle or adjustment, checked the nozzle and it's not blocked, even used a needle thinking something clogged it, but nope.

Hi suprchargd. I saw this post last night and tried to register to respond but unfortunately there's a dual-confirmation system.

Anyhoo, I have the same problem you have. I'm pretty sure all adjustable spray bottles are like this. I've purchased the small empty bottles from Wal-Mart, the large 32 oz from Rubbermaid, and also the same bottle you have from AG. All exhibit the same problem of streaming.

Here's what I found: at most any setting, it will stream! How annyoing. However, there is an extremely narrow range between complete shut off and stream where it will actually mist. You need to use some extremely fine control and end up wasting whatever product you have in the bottle to test it multiple times to find the "sweet spot."

It's unfortunate, but seems to be the way these bottles are produced. Regardless, it still seems difficult to get a super fine mist like you would find in something like a Meg's QD bottle, for example. It seems only the fixed-spray bottles managed to get it right. You would think that once you spend $3-$6 on an empty spray bottle would yield a bottle that could do a better job that a $4 spray bottle that ALSO has a QD in it! But I suppose not.

So basically, you have to find that EXTREMELY narrow setting. Hope that helps!

Paul34, that's good feed back but seems quite ignorant if you ask me. Sounds like you had to learn the hard way. Isn't there a fix for this? Why can't the manufacture take a look at it's bottles? Just my thoughts.

Yea that's the thing; I really have no idea why its like that! That's why I'm so confused, but it seems that its just "like that" so what can you do, you know? It does seem ignorant of the manufacturers, but

small empty bottles from Wal-Mart

Thanks for the reply, and yea I guess once you find that narrow range its okay. I just talked to a buddy of mine about this and he claims he had some Zep (not sure if thats the exact spelling) bottles he bought at Walmart that have a wide range of adjustment.

hmm... just a thought though, I don't think Wal Mart sells Zep bottles... if I'm not mistaken, Zep is a Home Depot brand

I've also heard (good) things about Zep bottles but I don't like Home Depot... but that's another story heh
