pressurized spray

In Exile
I just had a "lightbulb moment":

Has anyone ever tried one of those pump-up pressurized garden sprayers for applying chemicals like carpet cleaner to a large area?

I would think it would give you great coverage and save a lot of trigger squeezin'.

If you could regulate the flow, I'll bet you could use it for just about anything; engine degreaser, quick detailer, wheel well dressing...

Just a thought.
 
The carpet cleaner who work in my buliding use pump sprayers to apply a pre-treatment.

The cleaners use a larger sprayer like this one:

If you were doing a large vehicle this would be great time and money saver, over buying new spray bottles.

Pressurized bottles

Yeah, I have started using Pressurized bottles. They are a life saver. I've put several different chemicals in them and they work great. I have 2 of the Craftsman style and 2 others (that I picked up from a local home improvment chain who's name startes with an "L". I am not impressed with the "L" bottles. Maybe the "L" is for lousy.) Needless to say the pressurized bottles are awesome.
 
great idea and time saver. I have been using them for years..., all sizes and styles, from a 16oz air refillable ( those are really cool! ), to a 3 gallon pump up to the 2qt hand held size. I rarely use a trigger sprayer, except for small jobs.
 
Detail king offers a better one. Its a little more expensive, but you hook an air compressor up to it to pressurise it. They are called stainless steel sprayers.
 
Sure Shot

How does the Sure Shot stand up to acidic substances? I guess after the while the rubber inside the sprayers rotts or wears out due to the substance you're spraying. I picked up some great 1 quart sprayers from Wal-Mart. They work pretty well.
 
mrjwhit,

Not sure how it stands up to other chemicals. I only use mine for fabric guard protection, and so far - it works like the day I purchased it (in July 2002).
