It’s not like that on your phone + Tapatalk. You just select the largest available format and it posts the picture every time.

Pet Peeve: Grabbing your towels out of the dryer and finding a surprise dryer sheet that you somehow missed during your pre inspection.

Pet Peeve: When your good drying towel suddenly becomes caked with gunk while drying the door jambs or around the windows.

Pet Peeve: When you’re dressing the wheel wells and accidentally miss the mark... Now you’ve got Hyper Dressing on the paint. Hate when that happens.

Pet Peeve: Getting polish on rubber trim.

Pet Peeve: Accidentally picking up the wrong bottle and suddenly you’ve sprayed Hyper Dressing all over the window instead of glass cleaner.

Pet Peeve: When your spray bottle is running low and you don’t feel like running back and refilling it.

((((Pet Peeve: When your spray bottle is running low and you don’t feel like running back and refilling it.)))

I'm just finding this out!
And it is starting to bug me big time!

If business is doing well---I'll probably just pay a bit more and get the RTU bottles in bulk.

It’s super annoying... That’s why when I do a waterless wash I make sure to arm myself with no less than 64oz. ready to go. [that’s actually WGU in those bottles]

Same goes for claylube.

And just tonight I received my upgrade to the 2 bottle method. My thoughts on how this expensive sprayer actually works a bit later.

... Btw, you don’t necessarily want to buy bigger bottles of RTU product, you want to buy gallon of concentrate and dilute a gallon at a time so you have it on your shelf ready to refill your spray bottles.

Exactly right.

I hate running outta DI water to mix chemicals & and do rinseless washes. I have a CR Spottless - but feel like every time I use it for stock water - I'm that much closer to buying resin (and having to change it, which is a PIA). I'm not cheap, it's not that I won't buy it - I just hate having to lug a bunch of gallon bottles home or make a special trip.

My solution? Need a dehumidifier in my basement anyway - & since there are no rocks floating in the air where I live - I'm pretty sure this dehumidifier is pulling water pretty close to DI... So, instead of just wasting it - I fill up old DI water gallons and this 5 gallon bucket with a gamma lid. Now - always have tons of DI water on hand for free with no lugging from the store.

Seems legit.

Yeah, except for the dust that accumulates in a dehumidifier. I water my plants with it. A gallon of distilled water is 80 cents at Wally world make a trip and fill up the trunk twice a year for 40 bucks.

Landscape crews. A real PITA to work around everytime, guaranteed.

I use those pressure sprayers they are nice but 2 of mine already sprung leaks in the bottles. I got the ones with pbmg names on them i been meaning to call them to get them replaced. Its better then squeezing spray bottles for sure
