Post your spray bottle of choice!

I figure the dual action might save me some hand pain with APCs. I love the AZ bottles, but after pre treating an SUVs carpets my hands are killing me.
 
I just pick some up locally. They leak sometimes so I am getting some from Autogeek. If you do a lot of detailing business wise, I would definitely pick up some quality ones.
 
Find the Qwazar spray head cheap enough and put it on the AutoZone bottle!

I actually bought a few originally just for carpets/interiors. But I also seen benefits in wetsanding and claybaring, and see possible benefits when doing Waterless washes and quick-details.

The autozone ones leaked? I've had no leaking what so ever. Even when I knock them over.

I should have been more specific. I have some from a local hardware store. They work for what I need them for most of the time, but they do leak when the bottle is squeezed.
 
I keep hearing good reviews from the Auto zone bottles. I have store credit with them I might as well get all my bottles from them. Because my HD bottles I bought are GARBAGE!!
 
Yeah, I threw my HD bottles away. Horrible sprayer, and they leak if you look at them wrong.
 
You mean if you hold them wrong? Because I have big hands and when I grab the bottle the sprayer keeps popping off. Are these AZ bottles are Heavy Duty?
 
They are very heavy duty. I squeeze them drop them, tip them. No issues at all so far.

I use the Home Depot bottles, they're very cheap.

They work well for me thus far, but all I use in them are degreasers and my PERL.

My clay lube will be getting a lot of work, so I may check out some better options for that.

I use them for the most part; QD, Clay, APC, etc..... You cannot beat $0.99
 
I tend to repackage everything. usualy I use a small 8 oz bottle or the 16oz bottles that chemical guys uses. I also use a small 6oz bottle for items that I don't need a lot of. This may seem excessive but I try to fit all of my products into one bag that I carry up 4 flights of stairs. Since I am a hobbiest I really don't need all that much at any given time.

Total cost per bottle is usually less than $3.00. Through all of this I have noticed that a lot of parts are standard sized. e.g. the Griots foaming tip fits perfectly on a generic garden sprayer from HD making it an awesome foaming pump sprayer for my wheels.:xyxthumbs:

Oh and I also love the CarPro eraser bottle, but that isn't really economical to get a bunch of those
 
Are the Mecury Kwazar's able to spray a super fine mist? I want something that sprays about as fine as the Meguiar's quick detailer bottles......I love how those spray, but the bottle itself is kind of dinky and small.
 
U.S. Plastics is hands down the best place to buy this type of stuff.

I used to order large boxes of various type sprayers. They cost pennies compared to what AG charges or any other detailing website for that matter. Plus they ship faster than most places you'll order from.
 
I went to Autozone last night and they were out. They told me to come back tonight, which I plan on doing shortly. I did pick up a Zep bottle to try out.
 
I just started picking up the Autozone bottles as well. Cleaned out the two by me (only got 6). I don't like their name plastered all over them so I just cut that part of the label off and keep the dilution ratio scale on the side.

Time will tell if they can stand up to the APCs, IPA, and other dilutions I have.

How did you cut the label off without nicking the plastic?
