What kinds of squirt bottles do you guys use? Do you have 10 dedicated squirt bottles for different mixtures i.e. homemade glass cleaner, store bought glass cleaner, IPA / water for bird bombs, etc?



Or do you have one or 2 "Ole Faithful" squirters that you wash frequently and use different stuff in?



I`m looking for some quality but not-so-expensive squirt bottles (that`s Schpritzers for you upscale laddies) to hold glass cleaner, dilutions of EF-HI and the like. What do you all use?



Have any of you found store-bought squirt bottles capable of a very fine mist suitable for a QD? I`m tempted to buy another bottle of that Meguiar`s Quik Detailer for the excellent QD bottle for my gallons of QD!

For my spray bottles I went to Home Depot and got the "Zep" brand that they had in the garden section.

Meguiars Quick Detailer in the maroon bottle is the best mister out there.

[Preachers Sheets]

Yea, the Meguiars bottle is the best. I had another Meguiars QD bottle and I ended up dumping the liquid in the better spray bottle.



You just better pray there isn`t a breeze, the mist won`t make it to the car, it`d get swept away in the wind really easily. You should see me, it`s windy and you have some guy spraying a bottle 2 inches from his car........ if they only knew.

Costco`s got some great spray bottles real cheap - $5.99 for 4 of them.



The mist can be adjusted to very fine or a direct squirt - the fine being practically a mist coming out of the bottle.



Got two myself, and threw all kinds of stuff in there (homemade window cleaner, some dry cleaning fluid for interior, etc.). Works for everything I`ve found thus far, either think or think in consistency.

[vettefan67]

Dry cleaning fluid? Why does that sound funny to me? I`ll be sure to check Home Depot and Costco out.

I bought the four-pack of bottles. They`re nice in that there are different colors in the pack so you can assign a color to a product if you want. The spray heads are OK; adjustable and all but don`t put out the best spray I`ve ever seen. I think if you want killer spray heads then Griot`s Garage is the way to go.



For the price I`m satisfied with the Sam`s Club bottles but if you want top performance, perhaps consider something else.

I recently switched to using one of these as my QD sprayer (click on pic for more info):

I find that it`s much easier to control than a trigger spray bottle, and I use less QD. :up

For the Zep bottles that can be found at Home Depot. They cost $3 each...

[miguelgf]

But seriously - if you like the Griot`s sprayheads, the Costco ones are exactly the same (well, not exactly - but the performance is).



Not to mention the sweet price - $1.50 a piece - and the fact that there`s a spot to label what`s in the bottle there (with a dry-erase marker - works great!) - and the bottle has markings in L/oz so you can make those nasty homemade potions to the proper proportions :)

i second the costco purchase.

they are great bottles at a great price.

7 bucks for 4 of them i believe....

at that price, make all the mixtures you want.

only my $.02

That`s my car after I washed it and used a spray quick detailer. I`m waiting for when I get my kompressor pads I will polish it and erase some scratches it has and then I will make it shine like a mirror.
