    What should I use to measure 1 ounce?

    At the moment I only need this for ONR (2 capfuls of the 32oz size is about 1 oz, I think), but I also just ordered the larger size ONR and I think the cap is different. In addition, I may use regular Optimum Car Wash at some point and need to measure that as well.

    I was thinking of just using an old shot glass, but wasn't really sure if that's exactly an ounce.

    So just wondering what everyone uses.

    Thanks!

    2 oz is a quarter cup--Found that out yesterday so I could measure 2 oz for my rinsless wash!

    Thanks. I just read than an average shot glass is 1.5 ounces, so I could just fill it 2/3 of the way...

    I just refilled my 32oz bottle from the gallon jug so I could still use the 1/2oz.cap

    Yeah, I probably should have thought of that

    Was also figuring though that if/when I use other products it would be a good idea to have something small laying around that can quickly measure an ounce or 2...

    If it was plastic and not glass this would be great: Amazon.com: Anchor Hocking Measuring Glass - 5 oz: Home & Garden

    Go to your medicine cabinet and steal the plastic cap off of a liquid medicine

    I bought these same (if not very similar) glasses at Meijer for like $1/each. They measure up to 4oz. in 1oz. increments.
