Hydro2 Rinse in Apartment

I recently ordered some Hydro2 to try treating wheels with and know the directions state that a strong stream of water is required to activate and rinse the product. The problem arises in that I live in an apartment and don't have access to a faucet or pressure washer. I have come up with 2 plans: 1) clean the wheels then head to a coin-op to activate the hydro2 after applying upon arrival or 2)use a hand pump sprayer (like used for spraying roundup) filled with water and a direct-stream nozzle.

Has anyone tried utilizing Hydro2 and activating with one of these pump sprayers?
 
While I have always done it with the "sharp spray of water" I have wondered why/how that is necessary...and if it's really more so you can see the effect of the product and go "wowee!"
 
For those familiar in application - I've also wondered too, re: Setec's post. H20 is H20, unless somehow the strong stream does something different.

Is there a noticable difference whether you use low stream, strong stream or PW stream....
I recall a posting or 2 - that poster said regular water pressure hose - strong stream preferred. It was actually less better than if he had used a PW .

The stronger stream of water activates the chemicals and also makes sure that you are not leaving streaking.

I would go with the first option, except I would do all the cleaning at the coin op.

Yeah, I know that's what they say...it just doesn't make any sense to me. But maybe I'm just dense...I had a friend of a friend who worked in a bar and used to shake drinks so as not to "bruise the alcohol" (think "shaken, not stirred")...I didn't get that, either.
 
That's what I figured would be the best option, but I was trying to think of alternatives. I can't wait to use it. Thanks for everyone's responses.
 
I decided to look up bruising of alcohol to see what that could tell us about HydrO2. Turns out not much but I found out that other subjects can have just as many opinions as "what's the best wax for this color?" I was going to link but I thought that might be breaking the rules, you guys can look up "bruising gin" at stackexchange.

Well we certainly don't want to bruise our alcohol.
 
Assuming Hydro2 is same idea as Permanon (which I use) then no need to blast off with water.

The bonding is instantly done when sprayed and the water is just a carrier.

I apply and just wipe off with towel (you could use sprayer and plain water too).

Zero issues and wheels clean up with soap and water no problem.
 
I think in one of the original videos Corey made he mentioned that it can be used like a traditional spray sealant, but that kinda defeats the benefit of ease of application to wheels. I actually prefer rinsing with a strong stream from a hose rather than pressure washer. I think some volume of water helped as much as the sharp spray, at least in terms of beading. If that's truly the case, a garden sprayer isn't going to achieve either of those.
