I just went to K-Mart, go two little bottles of Palmolive and spent almost an hour rinsing them out. I then put a little KSG and AIO and they work great. Don`t mistake these with the new flip top Dawn bottles. I thought of those but I think they would produce the same problem as the Klasse original bottles due to Klasse being so thing and the lip of the nozzle but in a much smaller extent.

Do your Klasse bottles squirt the liquid out of the little hole?

While we make 12 oz chemical resistant bottles with a large screw off top and nipple dispensor for the detailers to use when transferring from gallons, you can get just plain old "picnic" empty ketchup and mustard bottles. These have had no product in them, use a Sharpie to mark them.



:cool:

spray bottles to apply Klasse or Zaino to an applicator?It seems this would mist for a good even coverage.

I haven`t tried the squirt bottle yet, I don`t know if you are talking about the mist squirt or the stream squirt. I think the mist would be a little too thin don`t you think, maybe it would be good for the all in one but I don`t know about the glaze.



I like the Palmolive idea, I felt I made a difference in the world when I thought of that all by myself :)

With most products, you don`t realize how much you waste when you spray them. It is an old marketing gimmick to make us use more product! Take your tire dressing out of the spray bottle and see how long it lasts just pouring a small amount on a sponge to dress your tires....



I like the zaino bottles.....they work fine for applying thin coats.

Spraying wastes massive amounts of product. I really don`t think you would be able to spray Klasse (at least AIO) through a spray bottle, you might be able to do it with KSG but id stick to applying it with a foam applicator.

perhaps a small spray bottle, then spray it onto an applicator? (that is to give a nice even coating over the applicator, rarther than the surface.)

For some reason I think that Klasse would be better if applied as a thick substance to the foam pad I use for my porter cable. I don`t know, I just think when you use a clean pad you need to use alot of a product to initially soak the pad then from there it only takes a little bit each time you re-apply more on the pad to keep it saturated with the product. I think if you spray the product onto a pad it would take alot longer to saturate the foam pad.



For you people using small hand applicators I don`t know, I only use them for little areas like fog lamp curves and stuff of the sort. Thank that engineers that made the Camaro a big flat boat; it`s easy to wax

My camaro`s were a breeze to detail. I just wish I had better pics of them before I sold them.......

Do you drive your Camaro`s alot? I am not the first owner of my 99, and it seems the only way I can get rid of some of the specks (reall tiny, can`t see them unless your closer than 1 foot from the car) is to re-paint the bumper/hood.



I wish the previous owner took care of it like I try.

Love those pics DK. Oh, and the house looks great too!

I sold both my camaro`s. As for the specs on the hood, are they paint chips from stones?! If not, you might want to try claying the hood and see how that works out. My red Z-28 had tons of stone chips in the hood by 50K miles, but my silver one had none. I think chevy red paint is very soft for some reason. My dad still has a 1986 camaro (white seen here)....he only drives it a few times a month.

Yea, it`s from stones and little rocks on the highway. They are really small but I don`t like them. Oh well, guess I can always buy a new bumper and hood if it gets bad.

If it is...the hood and spoiler are painted at SLP engineering, not GM. I heard the paint quality is not as good as the rest of the car. If this is the case, you might get a free repaint........
