What to put my gallon supplies in?

Or the smaller versions of the product. I have a smaller DG 901 bottle that I pour the gallon into. If you don't have any of those, I'd go the dollar store route.

This is what I do, as I try the smaller version of something first before I buy it by the gallon.

The Meguiar's/AutoGeek self-cleaning squeeze bottles are only expensive ($3?) until you use one. Then it becomes the best $3 you've spent in a while. After using them in the DAMF kit I ordered a bunch for other products (D151, M21, BFWD, etc.). I've ordered a few more for use with my recent Menzerna purchases.

If you want to do it right, there is no easy answer. PET, for instance, is great if a product has solvents, useless if it has certain pH modifiers. HDPE is great for a range of pH, but useless with certain solvents. My advice is that you really shouldn't decant into anything, unless the manufacturer recommends it or you know better.

Well the assumption is the original poster wishes to decant fairly benign products like car wash shampoo and tire and trim dressing. Strong acids and bases should of course be handled with due care.

Strong acids and bases are actually very easy to store safely. Your benign tyre and trim dressing could destroy those same bottles. This potential confusion, to the extent of quite what is benign to any particular plastic is why, as a manufacturer, I would only have users decant into something I specifically recommended. The other concern is labelling. Most serious accidents we hear of will occur when someone decants into an unsuitable container which then gets ingested.

For these answers!



And with that info in hand, I absolutely love the below recommendation.

I have ordered various size spray bottles and flip-tops from US Plastics to use here but moreover to give products to customers as 'samples'. Mostly stuff like spray wax and tire gel but has included sealant(s) and rinseless wash products.

hope this helps: U.S. Plastic Corporation | Plastic Tanks | Plastic Buckets | Plastic Bottles | Labware | Plastic Tubing | PVC Pipe | U.S. Plastic Corp.

Thanks everybody so much! I got my answer

I too use the Meguiar's line of bottles. 16oz squeeze with self cleaning tip for polish/compound/wax/soaps and the 32 spray bottles for anything I need to spray

Well worth the money, and looks alot neater.

Yep, I ordered some more post-BF and I think they were back ordered. I use the self-cleaning AG bottles for D151, M105, M205, M21 and picked up extras for FG400, SF4000 and PL. I also kept the ones that came with D300 and 301, and ordered a 16 ounce 302 on purpose.
