Show us your latest detailing purchase

I’ve been doing the same for quite a while. Just decided to look for them last week. They definitely have the best sprayers I’ve used.
I’ve also been known to buy West Coast Customs detailing products from Walmart just to get the sweet stainless steel bottles they come in.

 

Those sprayers are my favorite. They are made by a company called Opus. I save them from used up product and reuse them. When they come back in stock, U.S. Plastics sells them in different colors, with a 9.5 inch dip tube, for .85 each. They are currently out of stock.

 

I've been using sams club spray bottles for most stuff

but i need something good for waxaddict tyre conditioner/feeder (whichever the purple labled one is), i'm getting sick of using an applicator for it. These give a fine mist?

 

are these the same sprayers as the ones on the Griots 3 in 1 bottles? if so they are the bomb!

 

Yes, they provide a fine mist, but at the same time it is substantial, they have a great even spread and coverage.

Any Griots liquid that comes in a 22oz bottle will have this sprayer.

I thought I was the only one who re used these bottles and sprayers. I first used speed shine a couple years back and loved the bottle and sprayer so I kept it. I have kept every bottle since and use it for tire cleaner, wheel cleaner, waxaddict tyre feeder, clay lube...they are awesome.

 

I also save my Car Pro Reset bottles....love them

 

I ordered 6 CarPro bottles on my last order. Love them. I have 50ml 500ml and 1000ml. I have a problem

 

Yes, all Griots products use the same sprayers I believe. Definitely my favorite. A fine mist that isn’t too fine. Those Waxaddict sprayers are just awful.

 

I don’t know if Griots just recently started selling empty bottles, or if I just never noticed before. Definitely the best. Cost 5 bucks a piece for the bottle and sprayer, which isn’t bad. You can also just buy the sprayer if you want which is awesome.

 

I initially bought one but now I am planning to purchase another one. Five...you may have a problem brother. They work great and the dilution chart on the side is “fuhgeddaboudit“.

 

Last ones I got from them, they’d switched to the adjustable knob sprayers instead of the square ones. They still like that?

 

I got ten of the Griots ones.....

 

The ones I got are adjustable which I seem to like. I did have a problem with one of them this weekend the whole sprayer came apart in my hand but whatever it happens. I’ll send them an email and they will get me another one.

 

I’m sure they will. For whatever reason I’m just not a fan of those sprayers. In theory, they should be a better option than the fixed ones, but I just prefer the “mixor” type. They also seem to gunk up faster but it could just be confirmation bias on my part.

 

My above comment was a failed attempt at humor... I didn’t mean nothing by it.

 

Today’s loot

 

@War Machine with the Adam's bottle rack (daughter with the photobomb). Thank you sir! Will have to wait to install it as my SS front and rear bumpers are currently taking up my entire detailing trailer hah.

1 CarPro Eraser Intensive Polish & Oil Remover 1L

4 Aquapel 4

1 CarPro Cquartz Dlux 30ml Kit Wheel Coating 1

1 GYEON Tire Express 1L 1

 

How do you like Aquapel?

 

I'll let you know when I get it... My wife's car is the first I'll use it on and It's a bit old and badly treated so it'll be a good test for it. If it can survive the wife (and kids) it'll be bulletproof.

 

Just came in...need some sealant and wax still. Wish I took advantage of some of the Memorial Day sales but there will be more.

 

Placed my order from shine supply finally. It shipped and will be here Tuesday so excited for these products.

 

What did you get? Did you use our discount code?

 

I ordered trim shield spiked punch trim shine bug off and wise guy. Yes I used the code and got free shipping

 

Awesome! Every one of those are outstanding. Pretty much all of those are my number one products in their category. Trim Shine is good, but I wouldn’t say it stands out over its competitors the way the others do.
I haven’t tried the new Wise Guy formula though. Looking forward to your thoughts. The original absolutely destroys any other tire cleaner.

 

Well all these recommendations came from you so I thank ya. I’m excited to see how they do I’m sure I will be pleased. Their customer service seems super on point.

 

Looking forward to trying out these trim products from ss. Below is a pic of the black run off I have gotten using pearl. I love pearl but I loath the run off.

 

That looks like what mine did before i washed it last. That reinforces my thought that is was the Pearl. I have Dlux on the way. We'll see how that works when I get it and have the chance to put it on.

On anther note, after doing the car last time it rained a bit and after a couple of days I used Ech02 to do a waterless wash as there was just pollen and some dust on it. It worked very well even over the beadmaker. Brought back the clean double quick. I even used it on the glass and it came out spotless. I'm very happy with the Ech02. It worked great as a clay lube, as a drying aid in the winter, and now as a full waterless wash.

These detailing threads are painfully expensive but the advice you guys have dished is first-rate.

 

Let me know how the dlux works out it in a saved cart right now. Ech02 is in my purchase real soon cart along with a list of other products from this thread lol. Painfully expensive. I could of built an outdoor kitchen for what I’ve spent on products. It all started because of this thread and my wanting of cquartz on my truck.
