I'm just starting out detailing and I'm trying to conserve space in my mobile tool chest-it's very big but the 32 oz spray bottles just take up so much space.

I found some aluminum spray bottles maybe 10-12 oz for $1 a piece locally. Will aluminum be ok versus plastic for most car care products? They will save me a ton of space and they look sweet! If they break its $1 to replace it

I would buy small plastic bottles instead. Aluminum reacts with numerous chemicals over time. Sodium hydroxide will dissolve the aluminum slowly and is found in many degreasers. Chlorine products will react with the bottles.
The by product is hydrogen gas.

Any ideas where I can get small plastic ones that are 10-12 ounces? That are skinny. I see a lot that are kind of rounded on the base with it being larger than the top
