    Has OPT done anything to fix the issue with the sprayers clogging and breaking? I've gotten so fed up with my sprayers constantly clogging that I just removed the sprayers and put a spout on the bottles and use 2-3 small dots (which defeats the whole purpose of using a sprayable compound and polish.)

    I have been complaining about their sprayers since the 2 products first came out, and to my knowledge, Optimum has never responded regarding the challenges. What I have found that helps me, is to open the sprayer nozzle a lot more and stick the nozzle into the pad, so when the wonky sprayer works, it wont shoot product all over the place, like it normally will do if I try to spray the product into the pad or on the surface.

    I really like the no dust quick correction feature; guess maybe the sprayer was the "hook" to get interest enough to want to try it out??

    never used it but probably does it couse it dries out. if you put some kinda thing on sprayer to preven it from drying out polish in the sprayer maybe it will work?

    Sorry for the lack of communication. We have been working toward a solution from the beginning. As you all know, we make car care products and not sprayers so it is quite time consuming to sort through everything available and bring a universal replacement to light without ending up in the same situation again. Currently we have a very promising replacement for the Hyper Compound and will not be making changes to the Hyper polish. We have not purchased them in volume yet as we are testing them after storage intervals. Anyone having problems can contact me for a replacement at anytime. There's no need in getting frustrated when I'm so easily accessible. I will also let you guys know when the new sprayer is ready for prime time. For those who cannot wait, we are evaluating the Tolco #320 in both chemical resistant and regular versions and with or without a screen on the pickup tube. This is not a shipping sprayer that locks, so when completely tight emits the perfect pattern.

    PM me or email me if you need a direct replacement to get you through till we finalize our selection.

    Thanks Chris for the response. I really like the product because it works, but i just dont like how the sprayer clogs up on you. Its good to know that Optimum is working on a solution to fix this problem. I do have a few of those chemical resistant sprayers so I guess I can those one of those on and test it out. Thanks for the info!
