Another alternative, not free but close, are ones from the local .99 Store. In the pack you get 3 cups and 5 measuring spoons. Come in quite handy for mixing solutions such as the DG 601/105 or 601/501 combos. I use 4 oz squeeze bottles for all my polishes/compounds etc so I only prep or mix what I'll use right at the moment.

Not free, but a very nice cup for measuring small amounts

sorry BIGAL3

just sayin, no need to be sorry. everyone (mostly anyway) uses liquid laundry detergent and why not utilize these instead of throwing them away right (i also have 1 ounce medicine cups i use as well)? i measured 2-4 ounces of water in a cup and poured it into the laundry cup so i know exactly how car soap to pour in each and every time...

Great idea and no need to apologize. :props:

While some of us have been using those for years there are others that this idea will be new to.

The liquid medicine cups are usually smaller and thinner walled but work great too.

for sure, not as durable as the detergent caps. for myself, the lack of durability is made up for by volume. got lots of kid's medicine in my house.

For the life of me I don't know why I didn't think of this. Luckily I should have an extra one shortly as soon as I finish off my current jug of laundry detergent.

Cheers for a great idea!

i use a medicine measuring cup also, but mines the thicker walled kind very durable, use it for my ONR, also the theraflu liquid caps work good too, some of them fit on most gal/half gal car shampoo bottles. or can just get the pro-blend in each size for around 3$ from us plastic google them ;) can get the self cleaning lids and bottles from them for insanely cheap also. sorry dont want to dodge sales from AG but some of the bottles are cheaper and in this economy you need to save what you can!.im sure AG realizes few of us go to other sites just for 2 items and just go through AG as its easier.i still need to get me some pro-blends lol
