Default Problems while washing

Hey guys I just washed my car today and i encountered some problems that really bothered me and i hope you guys can help me out
1. I just got a bottle of p21s gel wheel cleaner 500ml, and after i put on the sprayer, i couldn't get anything to spray out -_- is there a specific thing you have to do to the sprayer?

2. After i shampooed and rinsed the car, there were a bunch of bugs hopping on my car. Does this happen to anyone else? what do u do to deal with this? I am using mothers gold car wash atm.

3. How do you guys take care of the mf towels after you use them? I only use a low amount of towels when washing car so I don't really use the washer/dryer. I just rinse the towels after car wash and hang dry.

Sorry for asking so many questions, but thanks for the help in advance!!!

I think you may have to dilute it first? The 500ml bottle is the refill iirc

2. After i shampooed and rinsed the car, there were a bunch of bugs hopping on my car. Does this happen to anyone else? what do u do to deal with this? I am using mothers gold car wash atm.

Yes, I get all sorts of little bastids landing on my car, not to mention the mosquitos that eat me alive...I've purchased mosquito repellant clothing (I'm not kidding)

3. How do you guys take care of the mf towels after you use them? I only use a low amount of towels when washing car so I don't really use the washer/dryer. I just rinse the towels after car wash and hang dry.

You should ALWAYS wash the mf towels after you use them. Not doing so is just a huge invitation for swirls

It's all good man, apology not required

1 - Youll have to adjust the nostle oh and if it still does not spray try building up soem pressure by covering the hole on the sprayer with your finger, press the triger a few times and it should work. I've had this happen to me a few times...I hope I'm explaining my self properly here.

2 - The bugs are just admiring the job you did hahahaha just teasing I honestly can't say as this has never happend to me : confused:

3 - I use microfiber restorer (I think that's what it's called) any who, that and worm water in the washer works like a charm

Hope this helps.

Oh really, sorry to hear that. Well at least it's just the sprayer. Can you just sue another sprayer, or dump the product to another container?

As far as washing micro fibers, I use the micro fiber restore...but if I remember corectly Al has said he uses vinigar to wash his micro fibers..or was it regular detergent..um..I hope Al replies to this one..I'd hate to say something and you use it and then ruine your towels.
