Applying Large Amounts Of Lanolin

[sp73]

I am familiar and have used Fluid Film as well as POR 15. I saw Advance Auto has a sale on Blaster Surface Prep and was planning on getting it. My air compressor died a few months back; I use Milwaukee M12/M18 tools so the compressor has not yet been replaced. I am looking at a Fortress Ultra Quiet unit from Harbor Freight.

I assume I need to get a spray wand such as the one sold by Woolwax or an HLVP gun (totally unfamiliar with these) as well as a compressor. What is the most cost effective way to get setup for the job, assuming I will do it once a year on two vehicles (Toyota and Lexus)?

Thanks!

I have the Woolwax gun setup from them directly. Cost is same or less than other places, very good quality. I order it and all my Woolwax straight from them so zon doesn't get a cut, same prices and free shipping over a certain dollar amount, think $50. The spray gun is made by Kellsport who is the parent company of Woolwax and Fluid Film. I like the Woolwax as it is thicker and lasts a very long time. I treated 3 of my vehicles 3 years ago and it still is holding up extremely well. I only need to touch up minor areas, around the wheels every now and then. Not sure about the Blaster stuff but I'd choose Woolwax anyday of the week. I used black so you can see where you applied it and any wash areas.

The "blaster stuff" gets good reviews and its 80% off right now.

There have been a lot of complaints using Blaster, that due to clogging, many users report that they have been unable to totally use all the can's contents.

I was more talking the 1 and 5 gal containers for bulk use.

I did buy 5 of the cans to do a quicky job on my galvanized trailer (everything but the galvanized part)

Appreciate the thoughts. I definitely need a compressor though - correct?
