I'm need of some new one's. Main thing I want is one that does not trickle and leak down to the trigger.
What's everyone's favorite bottle sprayer?

JSFM, do you have a good source for the Delta spray heads? I can't find them any longer.
(I've had nothing but bad luck and close to a 100% FAIL rate with the Kwazar spray heads, FWIW.)
Thx.

The Gray Tolco Sprayers are my favorite.

This doesn't really help anyone needing quantity, but it's on topic so: I like to repurpose household spray bottles that work well. My favorite is a Febreeze bottle - the shape, size, and nozzle are great. It atomizes perfectly for QD and it doesn't drip down onto your hands.

I've got several of the chemial resistant ones from Autoality. Cheap and work pretty well.
If you want a relatively easy way to avoid destroying sprayer heads with the caustic chemicals that usually do it, you can have a bottle of distilled water and transpose the sprayer head to that and a few sprays will help clear it out. This avoids all purpose cleaner/wheel cleaner/etc... from sitting and destroying sprayer heads. Although the cost is relatively cheap especially from websites like us plastics or the like.

+1. Best in the industry right now.

Ummm.... Ya.....
I like the Kwazar bottles but they are pricey. I use a quite a few Meg's bottle with Chemical resistant sprayers. They all work well for me.
The real deal is most "harsh" chemicals will eat through sprayers and stuff as time goes on. The best bet is to pull the sprayer out of the bottle once you are done and spray any remaining product back into the bottle then use some water to rinse out the sprayers. This will make them last longer.

EXACTLY and I use Tolco. If you want industrial grade TOLCO is it. I have their acid resistant and regular sprayers. Their foaming heads are awesome as well. They are also the cheapest if know where to setup an account.
Oh an if you can find one, the Simoniz auto sprayer is AMAZING! Seriously my hands love this for water spraying, especially pad, clay lube or onr.

Tolco Grey Resistant. Seen too many Kwazar's malfunction for the status / price they hold. Solo pump sprayers are great for high volume stuff too!
My SprayMaster did NOT survive Meg's Wheel Brightener in a 4:1 ratio; went through two (2) of them before giving up.
Now I use empty Eagle-One A-Z wheel cleaner bottle for Meg's wheel brightener. Just make sure you rinse the sprayer after using it.
Lasts about 4 months or 25 applications, which ever comes first. Like Accumulator, I "re-purpose" spray bottles for other cleaners and label them so with a "permanent" Magic Marker that usually get washed off or lightened when the new cleaner splashes or leaks from the sprayer or during refills. Not exactly EPA/OSHA approved, but at least I KNOW what's in them.
I see Tolco does make an Acid-resistant trigger sprayer (which I assume is different than a chemical-resistant sprayer) sold thru Auto Detailing Solutions.
I'm tempted to go to my local farm supply chain (Mills Fleet-Farm) and check out trigger sprayers that are used for applying acid-based (isn't that term oxymoronic!)cleaners for cleaning milk houses.
This is a most interesting topic because EVERYONE who details run into this problem of leaky trigger sprayer nozzles. So any suggestions for non-leaky, long-lasting trigger sprayer nozzles has my attention!!

If you want the best value, check out USplastics.com and their line of sprayers.
Midwest Bottles is also another choice. I've ordered from both though.

My sprayers from them haven't worked out all that well, and I've only put APC/shampoo mix through them. Had one that was inop righ out of the box too (they did replace that one, but the replacement didn't work for long).
