I am a fan of the autozone chemical resistant spray bottles myself.
 
I use a variety of bottles. For my bulk products like Meguiars and Optimum I use the Meguiars Detailer bottles.

I also duplicated those products and over car products in the much smaller Dodo Juice range of spray bottles. I find they give a even mist without wasting product. Much easier to cart around then the bigger detailer bottles all the time. Its handy having large bottles but it takes me forever to go through something like Hyper Dressing

In the car centre console I also have 3x of their finger spritz botttles. A detailing spray, window cleaner and air freshener. Having them in the finger bottles means I don't have to worry about them spilling and always nearby in case of emergencies
 
Actually, a little over 2 weeks ago I picked up an AutoZone bottle and as it turns out it's the best I've used so far. SprayMaster bottles suck. Not only are they 3x the price of AutoZone bottles, all 6 that I have leak if tipped over or tilt forward and spray way too much product even when nearly closed. I have the old fat trigger and new slim trigger.
 
I had never noticed that they spray bottles.
 
This is the bottle I use, but I replace the sprayer with a Tolco 320 sprayer.36 Ounce Detail Bottle

Proper Auto care use to sell them that way. I don't care for the sprayer that comes with it now.
Instead of spraying a nice even cone, it is more fan shaped and shoots off to one side a little.

Completely agree.

and for those of you looking for them. They are hidden over by the wd40 and other stuff of that nature.
 
I'll have to try out the Autozone bottles. I have several Meguiars bottles but I hate the sprayers. No matter now much I adjust I think they spray too much product and I don't care for the spray pattern
 
If price is no object, get the Kwaazar Mercury's. I use the Zep ones for most products.
 
I have picked up a couple of nice rubbermaid sprayers from Target. They're $5 a piece but they're durable.
 
I am going to try AutoZone bottles out next time then. I am there all the time anyway. :cheers:

I agree on Kwazer Mercury Pro. ZEP is my favorite reasonably priced bottle. The Kwazers have the best mist and never leak. Legacy Gt's brilliant review convinced me and I have 16 Kwazers now. They are a lifetime investment IMO!
 
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.

In my experience, the best part about them is how the sprayer is made; I've dropped one several times, the worst that has happened besides some minor scuffs is that the trigger popped out of place. I think they were intentionally designed this way to prevent serious damage.
 
Dear Friends

I love Kwazar's bottles and pressurized sprayers, but now that Ben posted a picture of his Auto Zone bottles, I think I may give those a shot. The spray head looks like the Kwazar to me. I have four Kwazar Mercury Pro spray bottles and two Kwazar Venus Pro pressurized sprayers.
 
The AZ bottles are Great! And the price is right. My loc al AZ only stocked 2 at a time till I talked to the manager one day....now he keeps a dozen on the shelf....when I need some I know they will be there.

Somewhat similar, but huge differences. I will put up some pics.:Picture:

In my opinion, both are great bottles. The Autozone are at such a great price point, that is the only other kind I will buy. That being said, the Kwazar are built much better. the plastic in both the resevoir and the sprayer head is much denser and heavier duty.

Still prefer the Kwazar Mercury Pro+, just hate the price-tag.
 
I still want to get a kwazar for my APC+. But the price makes meh cry.

With the exception of the "Dual Action" of the Kwazar, they both accomplish the same task. The Kwazar does it a little nicer, has a better build-quality, and won't leak. The exploded pics I put up shows the leakage difference.

The price makes me cry too. I only have four, but only when I can get a good deal (or a second job) on them, I will get more. Until then, the AutoZone bottles are $2.00 each and locally available.Im the MAN
