No the version of something that looks like this. More of a hand held that you pump.

Are you saying the Wolfgang or AG one isn't working properly for you??

No, not saying that at all. I was just curious what the difference is between the one autogeek sells which is a pressure sprayer and the atomizer pressure sprayer one. I heard that the atomizer uses less product, I don't know for sure thats why I was wondering if anybody uses one could chime in. I read that it produces a fine mist with a lot of coverage.

Glad to hear that. I just got one of those a couple weeks ago and hadn't tried it out yet. I'll be interested in hearing what people have to say as well.

Let me know, even if you just put water in it and put the setting on the finest mist I am curious with the results. Please let me know or private message me if you don't what to post it on the forum.
A little technical note pertinent to this:
It is perhaps useful for professional users to appreciate that chemical resistant is not a one-size-fits-all description. Depending on the pump construction and the materials used for the seals, a sprayer will be suitable with different chemicals.
Viton seals - this will be most commonly what you get with a chemical resistant spray. There is definitely improved chemical resistance compared to more generic seals but one should note that viton is probably best for acidic and moderately alkaline products. In high caustic alkaline conditions, it can break down and care should be taken.
EPDM seals - these are most appropriate to alkaline products and, from my point of view, this should thus be most routinely applied to car care. The majority of car care products are on the alkaline side, necessarily so because the majority of soils are acidic in character. One could equally argue that such seals should not really be used with acids so care must be taken because many industrial wheel cleaners are strongly acidic.
Nylon pumps - this is an addition which is not routinely included in sprayers due to the additional cost. In most instances, this is un-neccesary - most notably water based products. However, if one is using solvents which would include products like tar removers, lubricants or fuels, a nylon pump is essential since normal pump construction will swell in such conditions and become under-performing or non-operational. The norm will be that a nylon pump on a product will be accompanied by viton seals.
In practice, a professional user should probably keep two or even three sprayer types: i) Viton for acids and generic chemicals, ii) EPDM for use with strong alkalines and iii) Nylon pump/viton seals for use with solvent based products (iii is perhaps less appropriate to you guys since tar removers are not as routine as here in the UK).
So beware you use the correct spray construction for the product you are using.

I'll do it. I may put some water in it today and see how fine a mist I get or I will use it for product tomorrow when it warms up. Either way I will let you know.

I'm thinking he most likely has the Flo-Master 4 pt. Hand Sprayer that's sold at HD. Sometimes I've seen them for $4.99.....sometimes $6.99. Right now is it's at $4.93 at my local HD and I'm thinking of picking one up this weekend.

Maybe my HD is more expensive...just looked it up and the 3pt flomaster hand held is 14.97. At least I don't feel bad about paying 15.99 now. lol

Sorry it took me so long to reply. The mist I got out of this sprayer was not fine at all. I didn't want to try and turn the tip any further because I thought it may break. I bought this to have a steady mist to put fabric guard on convertible tops and also to use for permanon. I don't think I will be using it for either. I've been kind of busy. I am going to try and adjust the tip again to try and make it finer. At this point if it breaks it's not a big deal because I can't use it for what I ordered it for with the big droplets it's putting out.
