Any ideas what are some good empty spray bottles/pump sprayers I can buy in store? Planning to mix some ONR and water to make some quick detailers and I need it ASAP before this weekend, as I am out of my Meg`s Quick Detailer.
I know Autogeek carry these:
Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer, pump spray bottle, pressurized sprayer (http://autogeek.net/autogeek-pressure-sprayer.html)
A little too expensive, cause I need about 6 of them.
I just bought these from Home Depot:
All-Purpose Spray Bottle, 32 Oz., Case of 24 - F80HD24 at The Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5/R-100670277/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053)
And they suck! They`re uncomfortable, kinda heavy/bulky and takes a good amount of energy to use - and it doesn`t spray out much solution as well.

Home Depot offers a much better quality sprayer (gray bottle) that runs about $5.

I just reread your post...
If you are out of Meg`s QD couldn`t you just mix up a batch of ONR and put it in the empty Meg`s bottle??

The chemical resistant sprayer found at detailing online retailers allows fluids to cover a wide spread of area with just a fine mist, using less product.
The home depot sprayer sprays a lot more fluid per shot over a smaller spread of area.
The chemical sprayer is good for clay lubrication in my opinion. You get a very light mist on a large surface area without using a lot of product.With the Home Depot sprayer, you are spraying more product per shot over a smaller surface area. In turn you spray more to cover more area, using even more product.

Two suggestions for good,economical sprayers & bottles.
> Literally, the best I have found anywhere are from Walmart. Made by "The Bottle Crew"; 24oz, excellent sprayer, graduated scale molded in..........$0.99 each. A bargain...and I only bought six at the time. Should have doubled that.
Second, for a wide selection of bottles, sprayers, combinations, etc. plus other plastic storage items (buckets, Grit Guards, funnels, et.al.) check US Plastic. Occasionally, they run % off sales. Prices are good and the selection is comprehensive. They will ship to a consumer via UPS even for small orders.

Of course.....that`s just my opinion............I could be wrong! :) (But probably not!:))

Echo for US Plastics. My definite go-to... Great for household stuff as well - I`d be embarrassed to admit how much time I`ve spent on that site. :)

I used to buy 6 at a time from walmart. They don`t last too long. But I guess for 99 cents I shouldn`t complain.
