What's the purpose of a sprayer as opposed to a regular spray bottle? Coverage? Or saving product?

I'll go to HD or Lowes and get one myself for that very purpose to use a citrus degreaser or P21s TAW

I'd say both and add in consistency. Not to mention it's so much easier to just use your thumb to push down on the trigger. Anything to prevent the Carpal Tunnel!

What are you up to, like $100 in sprayers?
Uhh... don't remind me, LoL. Don't worry though, I have a feeling all the OTC sprayers will be returned but that's just a guess at this point. I did this with the intention of helping everyone else decide what's the best deal (price and quality) of sprayers so that everyone wouldn't HAVE to do this themselves, LoL.

For me, it's just a little more convenient to just hold down on the sprayer and apply away. I also feel there's a more even application (thinking about it, not from experience) since spray bottles generally are focused and application really isn't as even as these sprayers.


So I'll probably be stuck with two or three of these things, all being different brands (LoL), so now I just have to figure out exactly what I'm going to have assigned to besides the P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel. I suppose a proper degreasing mixture would be in order. I do have one complaint about these bottles... they take up a lot of space! I think having 3 of these things would be ideal and anything more may be too much, IMO.

So now this begs the question, HOW MANY pump sprayers does everyone use? Obviously need a TAW/whatever you use for wells sprayer. I was thinking of just pouring whatever ARO I have left directly into a 2nd pump sprayer. I'm trying to think what I'd need a 3rd one for.

Possibly for APC/Degreaser or Wheel Gel?

Hmm, I think there COULD be five or six things that you could have in those sprayers:

- P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel for wheels
- P21S TAW/APC/other degreaser for wheel wells
- Adam's Undercarriage or CG Bare Bones for wheel well dressing
- ARO or other product for tires
- Other APC degreaser mixture for maybe bugs, tar, and sap (perhaps this is a tad redundant to the second one)
- ONR clay lube mixture (I don't know about you guys and gals but I tend to spray this VERY generously)

I agree with the 1st 4 listed. The results of your pump sprayer comparo will determine my next 2 or so sprayers. I actually prefer using a spray bottle for my ONR clay lube; picked up some high volume sprayers from ADS.

I'm with Denzil on this one and will NEVER use a traditional sprayer again for clay lube. I use the handheld pressurized sprayer for clay lube and love it. I get plenty of lube and never worry about hitting a dry spot with the clay. And best of all no hand fatigue. I ordered 5 of the Solo ones that gmblack3 posted from Ebay and will let you all know how they work.
