Detailing Spray Bottles That Never Fail

A note on the pressol bottles / triggers. I’ve used both the household and industrial grade bottles for over a year and would like to share some feedback. To start, P&S break buster still breaks them over time, sad but no surprise. That being said, Matt told me he’s working with pressol to see what can be done about this. On the other hand, the triggers are not only more durable than average triggers, they are also dual action and have very good atomization. Are they necessary, absolutely not, but the dual action is very nice when using products that are used heavily. When looking at the bottom line, they are not the highest value, but when using tools over years, little things like reduced hand pain from squeezing half as much adds more value than the little costs saved in certain applications. Just my $.02

[@nomad509]

Kenny, I have similar thoughts. I have quite a few Industrial trigger sprayers but I've been using mostly the Household sprayers for the home. The Pledge All Surface cleaner, Adam's Microfiber cleaner, and Optimum Power Clean all have performed really well with the Pressol sprayers. As a default back I'd say it's always good practice to have a few grey Tolco sprayers for backup with their respective bottle. In this case I love the P&S quart sized bottles for this purpose. Sprayers are a consumable, so buy a few in bulk when they fail!

[@gabriell4031]

Id recommend pulling the spray head out after use and spray the harsh chemical back into the bottle. And screwing it back on. I know this may sound weird and time consuming but anything higher on the PH scale would benefit from this as it would make the spray head last much longer on say iron remover or brake buster. Don’t know if you practice this but it’s a tip I’ve seen some detailers do. And when you care enough to spend 15$ on a bottle only make sense to take a quick minute to take care of it.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Very well said Luke. The trigger heads are the failure point on every bottle I have ever owned over the past 40+ years of detailing (including all the high end brands such as Kwazar, IK, Pressol, etc etc) so you'd think that at least one manufacturer of detailing equipment around the world would have figured out how to make a trigger head that doesn't fail or at least last's for a reasonable amount of time for the money. I think most detailers would actually pay more money for a quality trigger head that doesn't fail so often, but probably not the general public who probably buy the cheapest bottle they can find.

[@anthonymanz9355]

My guess is they lengthen the life to be better than others but a permanent solution means less sales

[@saanrointernational2548]

The reason the trigger spray heads fail is because the seals fail. All trigger sprays have chemical resistant seals inside of them but overtime the corrosive and harsh nature of the products your using will damage and eat away at the seals. If your looking for a long lasting high quality option I'd recommend getting a high end kwazar sprayer and just replacing the seals when they fail, all kwazar sprayers have replacement seal kits available.

@Sandeep Maheshewari lol😂

[@94muddertrucker]

I always keep a bottle of water with me and when I get done using a cleaner that is really low PH or really high pH which is acidic or alkaline, I always insert the nozzle from the cleaner I just used into the bottle of water and spray it probably about 10 times to flush out the chemicals that was in it. This makes the nozzles last a whole lot longer. I always use nozzles for that specific pH level.

[@keithsanville2361]

This is exactly what i thought after watching Wilson The Detail Wizard! Thanks Wilson !

[@94muddertrucker]

@ᴡɪʟꜱᴏɴ ᴀᴜᴛᴏ ᴅᴇᴛᴀɪʟɪɴɢ 👍

[@MrChuckwagon55]

You can also flush out the spray triggers with water after every use and they will last indefinitely. I’ve had this experience with bleach.

[@Nite-owl]

Kwazar dual action trigger 360 with Viton seals. Had several for round 4 years and still going strong.

[@annagraham6204]

Buy the solo battery powered trigger. Throw the bottle in the trash. Put the trigger on an IK. 2nd best combo is car pro dilution bottle with solo trigger or gray tolco like in vid.

[@Redawesomeoby]

Eh, just got one chemical that is only available in a gallon soz going a little more expensive on a nice sprayer for it makes some sense for me

[@williamclick9771]

Thanks much for your video. I train at Planet Fitness. Not to long ago Planet Fitness changed there spray nozzles on there spray bottles there not worth crap. They break easily. I learned right then I didn't want this to happen to me. Have a suggestion use distilled water in another bottle to clean the spray nozzle. Don't know if this would work but it's worth a try. Thanks again for your video.

Amen my brother thank you for saying it. Ain't no way in hell I'm spending all that money on those fancy bottles when I just need my sprayer to work when I needed to work. Thank you

[@derrickabare9986]

I simply pump water through the trigger at the end of each day . Cleans them out .

[@spaghetti941]

Who the hell can be bothered to do that. I mean, apart from you

[@derrickabare9986]

@@spaghetti941 lol . I suppose only people that don't want to continually replace triggers. Especially when using acidic products.

[@spaghetti941]

@@derrickabare9986 some bottles say to turn it upside down and pump the spray a few times. It helps spit anything held in the trigger out

You're doing yourself a disservice. You owe yourself the time you're wasting.

[@justinrounds517]

Ik makes a mean pump sprayers and foamer, but all hand spray triggers eventually fail. Like Luke, I keep a lot in stock and a few on hand when I'm mobile detailing. About once a week I do take them apart to soak in hot water, especially in hot or cold temps. Products tend to gum up in the nozzles and pump pistons. It will improve the longevity of even the cheap ones, but it's highly advised to get the chemical resistant ones.

[@jezlucas3878]

The trigger bottle that's lasts the longest for me was 50 pence from DIY store , ran all sorts though it

[@JBIRD575]

Auto brite orange and gray tops bottles work great.....

[@kimijonghighball9626]

If you soak them in hot water it will mostly unclog the nozzle. Then spray hot water afterwards.

[@zachpieper6957]

All I use is the ik spray bottles with the cheap gray spray triggers and the gold spray triggers.

[@rcrbrewster7840]

Hi. Do the TOLCO Grey replacement triggers screw onto the expensive iK bottles ? Thank U

[@TRK-up2zw]

What about triggers specifically advertised as acid-resistant? I'm sure they're not cost effective, as they cost more, but I wonder if they really stand the acid test.

[@typicalfordguy]

Perfect timing my spray bottles just failed on me

[@Spectrum_Auto_Spa]

I’m a fan of the agrifab spray bottles with the double spray trigger.

[@Alkatraz415]

I have experienced really good durability for quite a few years with the Zep bottles and triggers from Home Depot. My big issue with those and other bottles like it is that they are very top heavy. If I am low on product and the driveway is a little slanted, these bottles tip over very easily. I might not need to fill the bottle to get the job done but I have to stop and fill the bottle so it won't tip over when I set it down. This drives me to use other bottles. The worst bottles I have ever tried is from Chemical Guys. The only bottles that I have commonly snap at the threads. Multiple brand new sprayer tubes have been kinked.

[@Jack-Surreal_Panes]

Any recommendations of triggers for things like acetone, alcohols, etc... Not a detailer but a cleaner and when it comes to hot liquids like alcohols or that nature you can use a trigger for a bit and swap out for another cheapie but then have to deal with a spray or mist you don't prefer.

You like the Obsessed Garage Is pressol bottle? What do you think of the idea?

[@JBIRD575]

Those grey heads look just like auto brite brand any links thanks....

[@brad2807]

The reason they are different colours is because the white ones are safe to use with acidic chemicals where as the black ones aren't

[@OscarM.94]

@Rich Smith kind of like Luke said some of the sprayers don't work after using them cause of the chemicals OG sells better sprayers. I plan on getting them. They're more for looks and having it all in the same bottle. Just nothing likes the price lol

[@richsmith3120]

@@OscarM.94 They're pricey!

[@mdoyal111]

Pressol bottles come with a double action sprayer. Sprays twice for one trigger pull. Once when you pull the trigger and another when you release the trigger

[@meanf1502]

What wheel an tire cleaner was that in the beginning of the video I always just take the spray trigger off an use hot water an spray all the hot water out of the little bowl

[@brianidiartefitness]

Thank you for the information Luke !

[@FormaxLogin]

Cant you just spray water out of the trigger when done with it for the day? Trapped water should not harm the spray head right?

[@johnr5545]

Thanks god bless

[@eduardoguillen6385]

I have a couple of sets of IK bottles but the spray trigger sucks, only lasted a few weeks and they started giving problems,i love the bottles they are sturdy and nice so Just bought a different brand of trigger. Has anyone invented a better and more efficient trigger already?.

[@sub_c-ro9207]

What about binary trigger heads? Do they last the same as the others?

My problem is I’ve never been able to find a spray head that doesn’t break long before it’s damaged by product sitting in the end.

You really have well thought out strategies for the everyday detailer, I really just wish you would work on the editing of your videos. You cut the footage together so tight it sounds like you don’t even take a breath when you speak, which makes it hard to follow. I mean no disrespect, just some constructive criticism, thanks for the video , cheers

[@smalle]

Marolex makes spray bottles and air pump bottles that are specificydesigned to withstand acids. They also have ones for high pH products too, but I don’t know the science on what that does to normal bottles.

[@millardshires5425]

Thanks for the information. But, when I buy those grey cheap sprayers you are promoting, I find they don't spray a nice, fine, even mist....and if I try, they sort of inconsistently mist and dribble. I hate the dribbles. Now, I have some I use for my garden and listen....when my wife is using one and it leaks onto her hands, or the spray is uneven, that is NOT COOL! I would think detailers (the reason I came here) would be demanding never leak, no dribble and consistent even mist regardless of how hard the trigger is pulled. I expected more. I used to get some really good ones from a 'detailer' supply company, but now the same brand is total crap (competing by price using cheap imported junk). Very sad. I would pay the extra $2-$3 bucks for a good sprayer/spray bottle.

[@davidkasparian3813]

Make sure you get the brand Tolco. There are ones that look the same but break super easy
