Meguiars Wheel Brightener - Sprayer Problem

[Pickled Piper]

Does anybody else have a problem with the sprayer failing when using Meguiars wheel brightener? I've got the proper Meguiars bottle and the chemical resistant sprayer that goes with it. I'm on my third sprayer as they work fine for a few weeks and then stop. The retailer tells me it's a common problem and suggested soaking the sprayer in water every time I use it. I've tried dismantling and soaking the sprayer but it didn't help. Even if it had worked, it sort of defeats the object if I have to soak / wash the sprayer before use.

Any sensible suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Buy a different product!!! The Megs wheel brightner is not the best and for your money you can get better products which will not block up the spray head.

Ok so what is going to get the wheels clean and not clog up the sprayer?

you could try dodo juice mellow yellow, very good product. or very cherry by chemical guys or bilberry by valet pro, all are alot safer and will give you no problems.

I think the prioblem is that it's a pretty acidic cleaner and it knackers the spray heads - even the resistant ones.. Advice from my detailer (does all my cars once per year) is that you should not use it regularly - just to get rid of the very baked on stuff. He suggested i changed to billberry cleaner - used it for ages now and have no problems with the spray heads.

Cheers,
