Simple question.



If say the recommended amonut of shampoo is 1 0z per so many litres how do you measure the 1 oz of soap from the bottle.



Cheers

A kitchen store around here had little shot glasses by the register. They are used to measure tablespoons, etc and come in a one ounce size. I bought one for the wife, then stole it for my garage. :D

How big is a shot glass? Aren't they 2 oz.

They come in all different sizes. Worked in quite a few bars and they all had different pouring specs....some come with a line on the glass for 1 oz, 1.5 oz, 2oz
 
I bought pumps that screw on top of all my gallon containers. One pump = 1 oz.



I cut them a little to fit on smaller size bottles.



The openings are the same so it fits on all sizes.



Here is what it says about them where I bought them:



Bottles are made of high density polyethylene. Smaller bottles do not have a handle. The 1 gallon jug pump delivers 1 oz. per stroke, plunger locks down for shipping and storage, ounce and milliliter graduations on plunger, 11" dip tube, color white, polypropylene with stainless steel spring. Excellent for soaps, lotions, chemical concentrates.
 
trying going to your local hardware store. they usually have a syringe type measuring device so you can measure the oil when mixing with gasoline for lawn equipment:up
 
I have maybe a dozen different brands of car shampoo in the garage and the caps on all of them are almost exactly 1/2 ounce (15 ml or one tablespoon).



The reason for so many different shampoos is that I love to experiment. I haven’t found that there is a great deal of difference in any of them, but some remove more wax than others. The only time that I use a specific brand is when I’m going to use Zaino, and then I use Z-7 - - but that is purely superstition! I do try to use the weakest solution that will get the job done - - usually about half the strength that is recommended on the bottle.
 
I just guess by what I think 2 capfuls would look like (Nick beat me to it. I don't like actually using the caps because I always make a mess on the side of my bottle when replacing the cap). But I try to error on the side of too little if my paint is only dusty. Then I can adjust while I'm adding water depending on the suds and "feel" of the solution.

Postwood - - - As I said four or five posts earlier, I haven’t found any significant difference between the different shampoos.



Rereading that post it seems to imply that I bought all the different shampoos so that I could experiment with them, but that isn’t the case. Most of the shampoos came as “package deals� - - - shampoo, pre-cleaner, sealant, QD. Since I seldom actually wash my car I haven’t been very concerned about shampoo performance.
