Spray bottles

From first hand experience, I can tell you to stay clear from Griots Garage spray bottles. Some of the worst ones I've used. They constantly leak from the trigger and will break with a small drop. Cheap garbage.

I actually like the Griots sprayers that come with the big bottles like the ones here:

Griot's Garage Finest Sprayer, Griots Garage Spray Nozzle, Trigger Spray

I have been using them the past year part time detailing and they have been working well. Nice long pull for the trigger, decent fine spray pattern, and puts out quite a bit of product. I have heard that they do not last long, but so far so good, and no leaks. Not like the common peices of junk like that are on the most of the OTC bottles.

Pump sprayers for me.

Yes, this^!!! Pump up sprayers make life so much easier. I'm going to get another 1 1/2 - 2 gallon one or one of the smaller hand held pump sprayers like the Kwasars.

36 Ounce Detail Bottle

I like how these are wider on the bottom, I don't knock them over as much.

I like their big bottles but that sprayer needs more surface area to make it comfortable to hold with a full bottle of liquid. I put my Griots sprayer on mine.
 
Call me crazy you know what bottle I like?
Along with the spray nozzle.

The Lucas slick mist spray wax bottle.

I love the bottle and the spray nozzle the stuff sprays out the perfect amount of product.

I use it as my quick detail bottle, I just refill it.

That's the next product I'm going to try.

Kind of funny to associate that brand with detailing product. It's like hearing Pennzoil coming out with a wax-as-u-dry... :laughing:

I use pump sprayers only because I do the exterior detail first,then the interior with a pump sprayer so there is no overspray all over the glass and paint versus your trigger bottle.when I get a semi trashed car,I clean the drivers seat and drivers door panel the same time as I'm prepping the car.It cuts down on time.
 
I've seen these recommended highly before and while I only have one I must've got a dud. No matter the adjustment it just sprays in a vertical pattern not a nice even cone shape.



There are a lot of mix reviews on those Zep bottles. Even though they are inexpensive I avoided those just because I rather buy something once. However, every professional I see uses them.

I just started detailing for fun and I went with the AutoZone's spray bottle. They're 32oz, have comfortable grip and trigger action, have good mist and adjustability and they're less than $3 a piece. They're readily available too. HOWEVER, the one that I put CG Diablo wheel cleaner seems to drip A LITTLE bit. I'm not sure if because of the chemical, or because that particular bottle is defective.

I have 5 and haven't had any issues but I do keep an extra handy as any spray bottle can go bad or be dropped and crack, etc
