Which Bottles do you use?

[Got More Wax]

For compound, polish,etc. Megs make a bottle - both labeled and generic - that I have been using for a while now. Problem is, the tops go to pot pretty quick. And, they come with the little red tip covers that end up lost over time. So, I`m wondering how some of you fair with your choice. I`ve used the "Fliptop" lids that end up clogging.



Please post your preferences.

I`ve just order 3 bottles from AG that looked good. Sorry I don`t have any experience with them yet!

I`m thinking about these. Just don`t know if I like the top, they clog.

I use 12oz. cylindrical bottles with flip top caps from usplastic.com for all my polishes, with no issues at all.



They clog up easily if you leave polish in the cap obviously, but an easy fix is to just tap the bottle bottom on the table, then slowly squeeze it to let some air out, then let go quickly so air comes back in and pushes most of the polish back into the bottle and out of the cap... they should still be cleaned every few months by running something (I use a small nail) through the top and flushing all the polish residue out, but the caps stay clean easily for 3-4 months for me.

I think those are similar to the ones I posted above.



Thanks!!

If your going to go with USP than go with these







The bottles are thick but not so rigid you can`t squeeze them. But its the tops that make the bottle. Gives you good control over the amount to use and best of all they`re self cleaning, and unlike yorker tips, you won`t lose the tops.

Try visiting your local Target or maybe Walmart. Go to the toiletries section where they have a small section for travel size products. In there you`ll find small squeeze bottles, etc.

I`ve been using the Meguiars ones for years without any issues...I`m pretty good at putting the caps back on though.



It`s not like they are expensive or anything...
