Hey guys. I was wondering if anybody knew where I could buy plastic containers to put wax and polish in? I plan on buying meguiars Pro Line in gallon sizes. I need smaller plastic containers to put smaller amounts of the products in. I want containers that have a top like any regular wax or polish bottle. That way, I can apply the product easily. Where do you guys buy your plastic containers? Store or web? Where? Thanks.:)

Look under "Plastics" in the phone book. One of those places is bound to be some kind of industrial plastics shop that sells stuff retail too. The one nearest to me has lots of different sizes of bottles and different kinds of spouts (flip, capped, or screw on) for them. I like how you can customize a bottle to your needs.

Got some 3m Machine glaze and other stuff from FinishMasters about 5 years ago. Lately, the Sherwin-Williams Automotive Store guy tells me FinishMasters now only sells to the the `trade`, and have no `showrooms`. Must have an account/phone orders only... anybody have recent experience?



Since they`re based here in Indy, I`ll pick up the phone on Monday...

Just buy some Meguiars bottles along with the Pro line polishes you buy. The part number for the dispenser bottles (12 oz) is M-9912. They also have 32 oz spray bottles, part number M-9911.

Go to The Container Store (check website for locations).



Depending on what size you want even Target or Walmart will have them. You don`t need anything custom made or specialized. It`s only a plastic squirt bottle......



Or you can be like me and fly across the country to go to Detailing Depot in CA. They have a whole rack full of squirt bottles, spray bottles, dispenser bottles, clear ones, yellow ones, blue ones...........
