Hey fellow autopians where can I get plastic bottles that I can use to store and dispense wax/sealants at? Will lowes or home depot have them? And if so, do you know what section? Or do I have to go to Harbor freight? Or a food supply store?

If you\`re looking for 4oz size, check the Wal-Mart aisle where you find travel-size soap & toothpaste products. They come with snap-open tops (easy one-hand operation) and are perfect for products like AIO & SG.



The tops are typical brittle plastic & could crack if dropped but the container itself is a softer plastic that\`ll take some abuse.

yeah i guess 4oz would be enough thanks for the help. I might go there as a last resort. I hate wal-mart its always crowded and I always buy more crap than I intended lol

my local grocery store that has bulk products have nice 4/8/16 ounce bottle. They sell soaps, lotions and shampoos in bulk. I have been using 4oz bottles, as it helps me montior how much I am using and its easy to keep it with me while I am working on the car.

Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart... any of those kinda stores will have them. Big-box hardware and auto-part stores will not IME but a smaller local hardware store might.

I got my bottles from the 99 cents store and Michaels (arts and crafts store).

you could also give beauty supply stores a try

I second the suggestion for the beauty supply store, those bottles seem to be a little more solid than others I have tried since they are used to hold hair dye and what not.

wow thanx for all the recommendations. i ended up going to wally world and got 3oz bottles and they also have small bottles with sprayers and I picked one of those up so I can xfer my surf city tire dressing to spray. The wall mart bottle lids WILL break off the hinge but they will work and they were .50 cents
