Fooshoo! I'll see how it preforms, and defintley share my expirence!Im the MAN
 
I have six of them. Three on each side of the shop for three different products. They are very simple and low maintenance. The first screw on the nozzle adjusts the amount of chemical and the second is only a lock for the first. You will have to regulate the pressure at the compressor or buy a regulator. If you don't use them for a couple of days you may have to open the end just a bit to clear the clog otherwise it's a set it and forget it thing. I like mine very much and use them for Opti Bond, Protectant Plus, Optimum Wax, and OptiClean.

Why do people do this, ask for opinions AFTER they have ordered instead of before? :D

Yeah...he said he had "Three on each side of the shop for three different products"...I'm always curious how people set up their operations for efficiency, but this didn't make sense, is why I mentioned it.
 
Hey guys, new guy here. I too bought one of the spray guns a couple days ago. Does anyone know if it comes with a bottle or is that something I need to pick up elsewhere? There's not one pictured with it on the listing. Just curious.

I just heard it fits a 32oz bottle. Some modification required.
 
Sorry I left u guys hanging on that one. Any 32 oz bottle will fit. I keep opti bond and Protectant plus in dedicated guns (that's 4), and because all you have to do is unscrew the plastic bottle I alternate other chemical in the free gun on either side as I have need. I also have quick disconnects on all of them with 50 ft coiled hoses so it's no trouble to just unplug one and carry it to the other side.
 
Hey guys, I received my spray gun a couple days ago and it seems to be well built. I plan to use it with a 1:1 ratio of opti-bond. What have you guys found to be a good psi for this mixture? Also, has anyone cut the stem down for use with a smaller bottle, maybe 16oz? I can see where this could be beneficial in spraying the lower part of tires.

If the tube was meant for a 32oz I don't see why you can't cut it down for a 16oz. It's probably more practical unless you had a full blown shop where you actually need all the volume.
 
PSI 40-60. There are 16oz. bottles that are exactly the same height as the 32oz. ones, but you will still have to move the vehicle to get good coverage with ANY application method. AGO has these that will work without mod:Spray bottles

US Plastics has the same bottle that is transparent.
 
Those bottles appear to be about the same height as 32oz bottles, just smaller in diameter. I was thinking about cutting the suction tube in half and finding a shorter bottle with a larger diameter, something closer to what you would find on a paint spray gun.
 
That won't help. I can turn mine almost completely sideways and it still sprays if the 32oz bottle is more than 1/4 full. The ONLY way to get the whole tire is to move the vehicle. The weight of the vehicle alone makes it impossible.

What different products could you use with the gun? After reading your post the gun sounds pretty cool!
