Here we gooo ! Been waiting 4 these bottles.

The bottles do look pretty cool, but when I can pick up Tolco Grey Head sprayers for less than $3.00 all day long, without having to worry about them breaking, why would one overlook them? Pair them with nice 16oz or 32oz bottle for an additional <$3.00 a bottle.
 
I want the Red.
The 180 spray ability internals W/ the metal weighted filter.

Matt not only thinks outside the box, but sees the possibilities beyond the box, then he makes it happen. :bow
 
So, what about this part -- "" this means you might have to eat some cash if some of these bottles fail on you."" ???
He said you will not get any warranty, he doesn`t have extra parts to replace, not cost effective to ship them back to Germany, etc., etc..

I use Meguiars 35oz bottles with a long tube that is curved so it can always face the direction of the sprayer all the way to the bottom, if you tighten it down that way, and love that I can go a long time before I have to refill it.
These bottles are not that big..
Good luck with this !

I find it interesting that carpro eraser ate through the tip of the sprayer. It makes me wonder how it will hold up to some heavier hitting chemicals like ironx or a wheel cleaner. I’m still intrigued but think I will wait until he gets pressol to make an OG version of it. 15 bucks is a little pricey for a bottle and sprayer that carpro eraser eats through in a week.

Well, that`s one way to look at it.

Here’s another way to look at it ..

CR Tolco hears with a myriad of spray bottle sizes (24 oz) is my sweet spot.
Bottles get droppers, sprayer heads sometimes stop working, etc, etc.

Eon ago, I bought a stash of German Handheld Pump Sprayers. I thought I was the baddest m#$$ on the block.
Nice quality, good pressure but it was moulded HDPE and those bottles were heavy as Fk. Hindsight vs. Foresight I suppose
 
I like the ergonomic design of those Pressol bottles, but the price keeps me heading back to the Chemical Guys Bottles topped with Tolco Sprayers at around 10.00 for 3 on amazon. I`ve been using these for years, and i mostly keep APC in them. I`ve only had one fail me so far, and that was after two years with Meguiars APC at 2:1 in it.
 
I`m usually reluctant to click YouTube links for a variety of reasons, but you peaked my curiosity Mary. I`m really bad about actually watching videos with the sound on unless quick scanning them yields something that stands out as "Gotta watch this one! (probably at lunch, because otherwise I`m slacking during the work day... like right now... :ph34r::D).

I was surprised to quick scan through 5 minutes of him just moving boxes before actually seeing a bottle!

I`m thinking I`ll look at his website to see what it`s all about during my lunch break. :D

Whatever they are, hope they fill a void for someone. I`m pretty good on the bottle front - I have a couple cheap pump up sprayers for volume work, a bunch of Griot`s bottles (they warranty their sprayers if you contact them. I know, I sound cheap, but if they`ll send a bunch of sprayers if they give up, why not take advantage of it?), and lately I`ve just been re-purposing windex bottles (after thorough cleaning) if I just need a bottle to try something out. (Boy, I do sound really cheap on the last one, don`t I! :wacko:)
 
I do the same thing. I stock pile used LATA bottles that I find make great spray bottles. There are so many products that come in spray bottles that it can add up if you have a high end spray bottle for all of them.
 
I keep my diluted bug squash in windex bottles... no judgment here.

If my chemicals aren`t in the original factory bottles (or using diluted RW / WW solutions), they are coming out of the generic Zep spray bottles from Home Depot.

Simple is good.

OMG the guy is insufferable. By quick-scanning you missed him saying that he only imported them because he wanted them for himself, but it wasn`t economical to buy them for himself, so he imported in bulk to sell in his store. I`ve been accused of liking to hear myself talk, but this guy is in another league, either that or he`s unaware that they sell video editing software. I can`t believe I actually spent time watching someone stack boxes and (wow!) cut one open, to see what Mary was talking about.
 
Setec - Wowza. This is why I try to avoid the YouTube clicks - I`d rather not add to people`s stats/income if they`re putting up stuff like that. (Sorry Mary)

I`m sure there`s stellar content on there, and a lot you can only really learn by watching it in motion, but overall I much prefer absorbing info through the forums here and interacting with the members.
 
He is a little long winded....

He over thinks and that is where I tend to end up.

I have my 22oz. Griot`s bottles that I will never give up anyway. (clear)
Plus I found at USP a smaller 16oz. version that`s almost identical to Griot`s. (clear)

So I`m good, I`m also happy that this forum gives it to me straight.

:autopia:
 
I’m keeping my eye on Matt’s bottle quest as well. I got large shipment of various bottles and tops bought from US Plastic years ago and the large majority of the Tolco sprayers leaked heavily out of whatever standard bottles I picked up right out the box. Acid sprayer top was toast after a week with Wheel Brightener. Autogeek had the double action chemical resistant sprayer tops that I’ve tried out recently with Prep-All solvent panel wipe, working great so far after a few weeks of heavy use, no leaks. https://www.autogeek.net/hi-tech-chemical-resistant

Matt’s bottles and sprayers look great, nice color options but at the price they need to be fully chemical resistant, need to have a clear bottle option, and zero leaks.
