applying waxoyl

i thought with this good weather today i would waxoyl the car, but them small hand operated sprayers that came with the tin dont work.
Has anyone ever used the high pressure waxoyl sprayer, or what else can you use?, to date all ive used was spray cans and the old hand operated one which was rubbish.

does waxoyl dissolve plastic?

one of them pressure ones then.
they say waxoyl is best applied on a nice day, and today was a very waxoyl day.

yup them things with the handle you pump up and down to build up the preasure,
ithink there about a tenner ish at b&q there handy to have idont think waxoil wouid wreck one if you cleared it afterwards with a bit of turps or petrol,
so it wouidnt be something that be thrown away after use

i went looking for one today but the bank holiday everywhere was shut.
waxoyl sell a high pressure sprayer ebay is £20 but if i could get one cheaper id buy it.

the car needs washed underneath before i do it. but waxoyl its great stuff, its the reson my jeep isnt a pile of dust.

its thick stuff, id do it with a brush but spray gets everywhere quicker especially up box sections.
Yup thats right it needs to be done in a bucket of hot water with thinners in the can.
