Slightly Thrown Off By the IK Sprayers

[chefwong]

I thought OP was talking about Pump Sprayers, since he mentioned the “plungers”.

Yes, OP was just in regards to the Foam Pump Sprayers. I'm sure the IK is fine. There appears to be a huge user base and fanfare so I decided to grab some just for that - Handheld Foam Spray Output

Re: tolco's. I'm in that camp. I'm mainly grey Tolco's and still have some -gold tolcos-. Haven't had a use case for the gold's once I used my Wheel Brightener and have not added an Acid back to the shelves. For liquids, I prefer them mainly as the spray pattern-atomization is predictable and I know how it responds per each adjustment. I do run some bottles with the Opus.....but I have so many grey heads still unused, it would be a very hard sell to restock on Opus until that stock dwindled down

Nice!!!
Glad I'm not the only hoarder of somewhat useful junk around here

On that note, I save some of my quart la awesome bottles for other uses.
I burn through so many of those though there's no room to keep them all

I had a fellow detailer tell me long ago:

“If you ever have a problem with these sprayers they sell constantly giving out with acid based chemicals, just use the sprayers off the consumer bottles, because they can’t afford to have those sprayers give out or they’d be refunding nearly every bottle of Hot Wheels Chrome & Wire Cleaner, therefore they use the best sprayers on the consumer bottles”

It makes complete sense..

Yup, it’s mainly the Gray Tolcos for me too. I love the predictable spray pattern that’s just right compared to other ones, and they last a good long time. They do everything right + look good on the bottles.

As far as pump sprayers, I love the Kawazar 1.5L pump sprayers. I’ve got a couple that have lasted 5-7yrs. now. The regular not the foaming ones. I don’t need foam.
