Anyone try these sprayers?

[mavin]

Trying to pick up a few spray bottles locally for ONR and Optimum APC, forgot to add them to my AG order. People seem to mention Walmart and Dollar Stores as well for sprayers. Or I guess I could just use an old windex bottle?

The built in funnel seems nice to not spill, doesnt say the size of the bottle though.

Shop Plastic Spray Bottle and Funnel at Lowes.com

Save yourself some money by buying the industrial sprayers at Home Depot for $5, or ACE hardware you can buy a pump sprayer (great for apc AND onr on the go) for $15... it will last you years and save the headache of replacing the cheaper sprayers.

Auto Zone spray bottles, $2 each and last. I use them with ONR, IPA, APC's, detail sprays, and even Optimum hyper spray polish when I used that.

I use the pro force bottles from sams club . u get 6 bottles , 1 is a foaming nozzle for like $6 . have not had one fail on me yet . the bottle itself are 32oz, is clear and has markings on it for dilution ratios, they are kinda flimsy not hard plastic like some bottles .

walmart ones are actually pretty decent. There are two types, get the $3 ones that come in a bunch of colors and has clear plastic. The $1 ones that are only blue on top and not clear plastic are pretty much garbage.

I have one Zep. It sucks a**.

These are excellent sprayers and are available locally at Super Walmarts. They are Rubber Maid Professional Sprayers, the spray head is identicle to Griots:

These are from AG. They are pretty good, not as good as above:

These are from CG. They use a "chemical resistant" version of the spray head of the one from AG. The spray heads are both made by Tolco. AG now sells these spray heads alone as "chemical resistant". I got 3 of these bottles and sprayers from CG for $13. They are excellent.

CG also sells a foaming spray head that works well with APCs:

Of course you can recycle some stuff to make a very good sprayer. This is the "good" AG spray head on an old alcohol bottle:

These are from AG as well. I has to take it apart to lube the plunger because it got sticky. The bottle is great, the sprayer is a Tolco, not chemical resistant. It's just OK.

These are from Ace Hardware. I like them because they are 16oz minis. They are pretty good

I'm not sure who makes this style of spray head, but they are very good. So, I always re-use them:

So, to recap, I think the best ones are the Rubbermaid (available locally) and the CG chemical resistant.

The sprayer in your original link may be the same on as this, just in blue

I like the Kwazar Mercury Pro + 0.5 Liter Trigger Spray Bottle (17 oz) They are a little pricey but still my favorite bottles.

Thanks for the amazingly detailed and helpful post!

I will answer my own question in case anyone searches for it in the future.

I stopped by Lowes to check them out. They only had 1 left, which was sort of beat up, not impressed, so I passed. I did pick up a 5 gallon bucket, $2.78!

I then went to WalMart and found the Rubbermaid spray bottles, $3.77. They are NOT in the cleaning isle with the other spray bottles, but in the garage section FYI. They are very nice bottles indeed, much nicer than the Lowes bottle, I grabbed 2 and some distilled water.

Big Lots was nearby and you never know what you will find. I picked up their $1 spray bottle, which is decent but not as nice as the Rubbermaid. Also grabbed some tire cleaner/shine which they had for cheap. Productive little trip!

Sams has a 6 pack of industrial bottles for like $5 that I use. Work nicely and they have oz and ratio measurements on them. I also picked up one of these from Sam's.

I put ONR waterless ratio to pre-soak my car before a ONR wash. Works AMAZING.

Im pretty sure the 6-pack bottles are the same ones as the big lots $1 bottles. They had a few colors available. The $1 Walmart ones felt cheap.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

I like those, but the sprayers are like an inch from the bottom of the bottle. Great bottle, but I had to switch to a competitor's sprayer.

^ Those grey ones are Tolco 320 CRs. Even though they are chemical resistant I use them for every spray bottle I have in order to have the same look. They are kinda expensive, but I really like them. I think I bought 10+ on Amazon.

The autozone ones work great and are priced great, around $2.50.

The zep ones at home depot are absolutely garbage.

I want to try the rubbermaid ones and chemical guys but I just bought a bunch of meguiars bottles with the sprayers and the only thing I don't like about them is that the sprayer hose doesn't reach all the way to the bottom of the bottle and if you have it tilted it won't spray.
