Hi

Do any of you use the waxoyl pressure sprayer, i kitted myself out last year
with a sprayer and all the bits.  I am in the process of giving it another
coat for the winter and it is leaking from where it screws onto the can, the
seal looks fine.  Is this to be expected or have i been unlucky, i am
thinking of complaining to them.

In a bid to finish the car off while it was nice and dry i went out and
bought the 'jumbo sprayer' (screws onto the 5l can) totally useless even
with the waxoyl thinned and warmed.

Has anyone come across any other sprayers that are better (apart from
spraygun and compressor)

cheers

Well i've bought the kit too, with jumbo sprayer and probe but I haven't
used it yet.  I gather standing the can in a bucket of very hot water helps?

Yeh, it also advises thinning  up to 10 percent to help it flow.

The pump sprayer works great but it it started leaking, i  did not find the
jumbo sprayer as good

Certainly does.  Sometimes you need to put the gun in the water to clear it
as the waxoil solidifies inside the tube.
