    Kwazar Mercury Pro bottles

    Anyone else have problems with a lot of theirs?

    I've bought around 12 or so and 30+% of them either don't work, work poorly, or stopped working after a period of time (a year or so). The ones that do work, work flawlessly and I love them.

    Spending that much on a spray bottle you'd expect better QC from the factory.

    Re: Kwazar Mercury Pro bottles

    I find most trigger sprayer mechanisms get gunked up after a period of time. If you can squeeze the bottle and product sprays or squirts out, it's likely the trigger needs a cleaning. Remove the sprayer. If it's a water-soluble product, simply activate it repeatedly under flowing warm or hot water, getting every millimetre of the mechanism washed out. For solvent-based products, put some OMS in a disposable pie plate, wear gloves and try to dunk the trigger while activating it (keep the straw out of the solvent); use a small brush if necessary.

    Re: Kwazar Mercury Pro bottles

    I wonder why AGO does not offer this version of the Kwazar

    Mercury Super Pro+ 360 Colour Code

    It sprays when inverted?

    Comes in different colors for different chemicals

    Has chemical resistant Viton seals

    Good output per trigger pull of 3ml, which includes the spray when you pull the trigger and the spray when you release the trigger


    I emailed AGO about it, but they still just offer to he basic Kwazar units

    I wonder why a lot of places don't carry them. It's crazy how great their bottles are imho. I have a few of their normal sprayers and one of their pump atomizer sprayers. I love both to death. Amazon does have both, but whoever's selling them is charging an arm and a leg. It's a damn shame Kwazar products are so hard to find in the states. I would LOVE to find one of their backpack sprayers. Not the garden one. Would be sweet to have a 15 liter backpack with Waterless wash in it.

    And sadly I don't think this is going to change, I found Kwazar bottles a bit over a year ago. I was hoping they would catch on or something would change. But outside of the garden line, they're still almost impossible to find here. Or, like on Amazon you pay $28 for 1 sprayer that should be about $13. Or $45 for a pump sprayer that should be $25-30 tops. And even if you don't mind spending more on Amazon, they don't even carry most of the line up.

    Re: Kwazar Mercury Pro bottles

    Maybe because they're not just expensive, but expensive to import from... Poland? How many people or companies are actually in the market for a $30 spray bottle?

    I have Auto Finesse products, they're from Germany and can be found here. I understand what you're saying, but it's crazy some of Kwazar's stuff can't be found here at all. I'd think at least 1 place would offer them. And you can find places that do have the Mercury bottles for $12-15, which isn't too bad for the quality. As far as expensive, there are detailers that spend $$$. Hell, I paid $45 for 2 small boars hair Auto Finesse bushes. I suspect the price was due to them being imported from Germany. While it's a very niche market, there are people like me who will drop money on quality products.

    I'm still hopeful I find the Kwazar backpack sprayer, I look for it a few times a months thinking it might pop up.

    Jaktorów (Warsaw), Poland to AGO = 5,207 miles

    Bejing, China to AGO = 7,690 miles


    I imagine that Lech Walesa has something to do with the increased price of good produced in Poland vs. China
