Has anyone tried to use liquid car wax in the dispenser or will it simply clog up the nozzles?

A fairly thick car wash soap didn't clog it, but I only used it that way 2 times, back to back, because the 2 ounce container emptied in seconds each time - when set to incorporate the container's contents, water flow is diverted through the container.As a hose, it's great - my go to nozzle (and I own 4 or 5 nozzles) for powerful spraying through a useful variety of spray patterns that can be dialed in from the front. But as a soap, or wax, or whatever incorporating sprayer, you'll be refilling it so often the utility of the integrated container will be all but useless.

the dispenser didn't work good for me whether it was car wax solution or car wash solution

I have not used wax but I have used some pretty thick soap. Because it mixes in the cup it thins itself and you shouldn't have any problem. I would worry that the max will continually coat the inside if you don't rinse it out well enough which would lead to a clog in time. My opinion, rinse it super thoroughly and you shouldn't have an issue....shouldn't.

Use it all the time. Nozzle needs to be cleaned out. Plastic so only lasts 6-8 months but worth it. Mix soap fertilizer all kinds.

I have tried to use foam soap in different dispensers and it only foams when dispensed from it's own container. There must be something about the pump that is different in the foaming containers that makes it foam up. When I tried to dispense the foaming soap from another dispenser I had purchased, it just came out as a runny liquid.

You can use any of the liquid Softsoap refills. Stay away from any of the pink liquid soaps. They will clog the dispenser

About as effective as any other good quality nozzle. In other words....look into a pressure washer my friend.I like the "pam" suggestion though...along that line I wonder if rainx would bond to the car well enough to work without the buttery scent ;)

Yes. That is how I use it. Do not dilute the fluid - just pour it into the refill spray bottle.

I have used the sprayer at the car wash but have not tried the drive through wash. I thought I read somewhere where you weren't supposed to take it through a car wash. For me, I won't take the chance unless the manufacturer states that it could.

Very difficult to do if you did not liberally apply the wax beforehand. You can try buying another can, or get some APC (all purpose cleaner) dilluted at 1:3. I used Wolf's APC and elbow grease to remove over spray.

Havent had a problem with clogging myself. You can try dipping a q-tip in alcohol and swabbing the end of the nozzle. Make sure you clean it thoroughly after every use. You may want to try a different makeup brand, or thin the make up a bit, or taking it completely apart and giving the nozzle a good cleaning.

same here// it still works, just rub it in (on your knees) with a rag (I assume you got it for the floor, I usually do it on my knees anyhow) and pieces will go all over the place but most will rub in. You might have to sweep up the crud left over, but the wax does actually seem to work better and last longer than the johnsons wax-- though I am still not getting it again, make sure you keep windows open for the fumes

Yes, I use ordinary liquid dish detergent in mine all the time. A couple of times I found that it had all came out overnight or whenever as reported by others BUT I discovered that the dispenser spout was obscured by caked on soap. As soon as I cleaned it off, it worked like new. I am very happy with it

Yes, it goes on and comes off just like any other liquid wax I've used.A bit more effort to remove, maybe; but I was very satisfied with the finished results.

I have used this product for several years. Follow instructions to the letter. I used a good quality car wash liquid soap you can obtain at any car store or Walmart. Though it may not have gotten all the original wax off the car, I can say that wS all I used and the shine and feel of the paint on my 2008 car still passes as factory new.

I use nothing but Dawn dish soap in my dispenser. I have refilled it twice and it works just fine. I had to adjust the flow amount a bit, no problems in the month I have had it.

I am on my second can, and have had no problems. I do notice that the opening of the nozzle is covered by dried coconut oil, but all I do is scrape it off and it works just fine.

I have found that you have to jiggle the nozzle sometimes to get it to engage, after that it is fine. Also, I have used this product since it first came onto the market many years ago and I NEVER had any issues with it hurting the paint. Remember to rinse the soap off with plain water first, then rinse again with the rinse filter engaged. This way you are sure to get all of the soap off and assured to have a clean, shiny, spot free car! It is a great product!

I haven't had to use mine too many times yet as the spray seems to last quite awhile before having to respray it. I have used it a few times already and haven't had mine clogged up yet. Maybe it's the humidity where you live? I would imagine warm water should unclog the nozzle

The instructions said not to use it with wax based leads because they would clog it up, so I sent it back without trying it.
