What kinds of squirt bottles do you guys use? Do you have 10 dedicated squirt bottles for different mixtures i.e. homemade glass cleaner, store bought glass cleaner, IPA / water for bird bombs, etc?



Or do you have one or 2 "Ole Faithful" squirters that you wash frequently and use different stuff in?



I'm looking for some quality but not-so-expensive squirt bottles (that's Schpritzers for you upscale laddies) to hold glass cleaner, dilutions of EF-HI and the like. What do you all use?



Have any of you found store-bought squirt bottles capable of a very fine mist suitable for a QD? I'm tempted to buy another bottle of that Meguiar's Quik Detailer for the excellent QD bottle for my gallons of QD!

Yea, the Meguiars bottle is the best. I had another Meguiars QD bottle and I ended up dumping the liquid in the better spray bottle.



You just better pray there isn't a breeze, the mist won't make it to the car, it'd get swept away in the wind really easily. You should see me, it's windy and you have some guy spraying a bottle 2 inches from his car........ if they only knew.
 
Costco's got some great spray bottles real cheap - $5.99 for 4 of them.



The mist can be adjusted to very fine or a direct squirt - the fine being practically a mist coming out of the bottle.



Got two myself, and threw all kinds of stuff in there (homemade window cleaner, some dry cleaning fluid for interior, etc.). Works for everything I've found thus far, either think or think in consistency.
 
I bought the four-pack of bottles. They're nice in that there are different colors in the pack so you can assign a color to a product if you want. The spray heads are OK; adjustable and all but don't put out the best spray I've ever seen. I think if you want killer spray heads then Griot's Garage is the way to go.



For the price I'm satisfied with the Sam's Club bottles but if you want top performance, perhaps consider something else.
 
I recently switched to using one of these as my QD sprayer (click on pic for more info):


I find that it's much easier to control than a trigger spray bottle, and I use less QD. :up

But seriously - if you like the Griot's sprayheads, the Costco ones are exactly the same (well, not exactly - but the performance is).



Not to mention the sweet price - $1.50 a piece - and the fact that there's a spot to label what's in the bottle there (with a dry-erase marker - works great!) - and the bottle has markings in L/oz so you can make those nasty homemade potions to the proper proportions :)
 
i second the costco purchase.

they are great bottles at a great price.

7 bucks for 4 of them i believe....

at that price, make all the mixtures you want.

only my $.02

That's my car after I washed it and used a spray quick detailer. I'm waiting for when I get my kompressor pads I will polish it and erase some scratches it has and then I will make it shine like a mirror.
 
hahahaha... a human baby? Well, maybe I'm so hooked with detailing that when I have a baby, I will have him clean all the time and polish him so he shines. LOL, and thnx
