Try "The Container Store" for 1-2-3 oz plastic bottles. Their website shows them too.
Or you could use a syringe! Search for syringe.

They are softer, but not THAT much easier to clean than the ZFX bottle. I clean with Dawn, follow with alchol, then use something like a screwdriver or disposable chopstick wrapped with paper towel to wipe the remaining residue inside the bottle. Maybe a Q-TIP will work well too but I haven't try.

William is right, they are <em class='bbc'>much[/i] softer than the Zaino bottles. I bought 40 of them and I just toss 'em out when I'm done using them. It's not worth spending 20 minutes trying to clean a $.99 bottle, in my book...
Maybe my ZFX is defective, because my ZFX bottles are very easy to clean up 100%. Immediately after use, I fill them up about 1/3 full with alcohol and shake like heck. Then I rinse with very hot water. Every last bit of the residue is gone in a few minutes; they come out squeaky clean. Maybe my ZFX didn't harden right...
I like a challenge you know....

I even fill them with 100% alcohol and can't get the last bit of residue out. Maybe the trick is HOT water? I just used warm water. I'll try HOT water next time and see how it turns out. Thanks for the tip. :up

Richie's Custom Detailing

I worked on this car last November. Since then the owner had some paint work done and to say the least the customizing shop destroyed the finish on this rare 1 of 35 built GTX1.
The lower graphics were painted on but for some reason they decided to take a wool pad to the rest of the car.
The owner also decided to have all lenses tinted including the headlights.
The car was to be displayed at Down Town Disney for the Car Masters Show.
The car was shipped to me from Tampa since the show was local to me.
I retrieved the car from the transport lot on a Monday night and had to have it done by Saturday morning.
All said and done a total of 80 hours were spent restoring this beauty to a proper state.
Coming off the truck.
Safe and sound at my place.
Got started the next morning.
Inside after the wash and decontamination process the real condition of the finish is revealed.
Headlight cover was marred as well.

Afters.
Getting ready to stage the cars for the show.
I also prepped the white GT in front of the X1 and I'm driving my clients 08 Viper ACR that I also prepped.(write up on the ACR will follow)
Don't know what was going on in this pic but it did not look good for that guy.
Staged for the show.
The list of signatures on the custom rear storage compartment.
Some shots of the White GT as I did not have the time for a write up and had to focus more time on the X1 and the ACR.
A couple of shots before the crowds got out of hand.

Wow such a rare car! What a save on the paint. It sure did need it. That car came off the truck like that? That Ford has a VERY nice engine. Seems it puts down alot of power.

Beautiful work there Richie. That is a really hot car and you really did her justice.
I have been to Disney so many times over the years, and unfortunately have never been there while this car show was going on.
Looks like a great show, and Angelo is right. What a great place to have the show.
