So I was working through my wife's 2015 Galaxy Blue WRX using one of my prized and very old pots of Zymol Carbon, and I dropped the container, cracking the mouth on the threaded area. I have it in a larger lock-n-lock container in the fridge right now, but what I would like to do is transfer it and some of my older waxes to newer, smaller containers.

Does anyone know of a source for new large mouth 2-, 4- or 8-oz wax pots or containers? I can't seem to find anything, or I'm not naming the things accurately in my Google searches.



Cheers,

Doug
 
I can help you. Email Zymol. I broke a wax pot from them. They asked me to send back what I have with the certificate. So, I mailed it to them.

Not sure what I was getting....

They sent me a whole new full jar of wax for free.
 
Woa, that's pretty cool.

Doesn't help much with my other non-Zymol products that I'd like to transfer, though. :)

I bought my Zymol stuff in 1997, so any certificates that I had with them are long gone. I remember guys breaking those plastic jars all the time back when this stuff was new. The "sampler kit' was a helluva deal when I got it. I think I got 4oz of Carbon, 4oz of Concours and 4oz of Destiny for like $90. I'm happy the jars lasted as long as they have. :) Still great stuff.
 
You could do a search for "8oz plastic jar", and all sorts of types come up. Uline sent me a catalog, and I believe they carried something that.

Polystyrene jar, glass jar, etc.
 
Thanks, I had done that but either found things in large bulk quantity or jars that weren't proportioned like the typical wax jar would be (short, fat, wide mouth). I figured there might be something wax-specific you guys here had regular access to from one of your regular sources.

I wouldn't consider myself a detailing nerd, but rather someone with detailing tendencies who could easily be inflicted with a disorder. :)


I'll keep searching.
 
Ok, well... I'll tell you another secret....

If you want fancy jars for wax - I can't help you. But of you want something that will work well and is cheap, go to the Dollar Store "medicine aisle" and pick up a jar of glycerin suppositories. They will cost a dollar. Throw them out - the jar they come in is perfect for wax. The suppositories come wrapped - in case you need one.

It's an 8oz (or smaller) pharmaceutical ointment jar.

I actually found this past weekend going thru old supplies, ha.
 
Try US Plastics, you can buy jars one at a time. They are under bottles (jar subsection) since the search isn't working there.

Oooooooh, I like that trick. I didn't even think of the dollar stores. I know what I'm doing tomorrow morning. :)

Yup, I bought mine in the late 90s when the bottles were all white and the lids on the waxes were white plastic. Crappy jars, great wax, and I love the smell. HD Cleanse was the first thing I ever used up. It worked really well before there were 1,000 products to choose from on the internet.

YES! Score! This place is awesome. Holy cow, I need to stop before I have a really big bill.

They also carry chemical resistant spray bottles, which are not really easy to find. I destroy the cheap ones from the big box stores with stuff like denatured alcohol.

I found 3.5 gallon buckets in various colors, too. Ooooooooh, this is dangerous. Great prices, too.
 
You should PM SON1C and see if he knows where to get them. Do a search on his name. He does some wicked home-grown!
 
Ask Nick or call cust service at AG, I bet they could sell you some containers.
 
USPlastics for the win. Thanks Setec Astronomy, that was perfect. Got a dozen black dome wax containers, a few 3.5 gallon buckets, a dozen chemical resistant spray bottles and a few other garage toys. Way cheaper than an auto parts store.


Thanks guys!
