Chemical Guys Chemical Guys Dilution Bottle With Sprayer

Nice looking bottle. Dilution marking on bottle is nice however, sprayers leak and don’t last very long. Chemical Sprayers just don’t last long. They’ll be fine for the first 16 -32 ounces, then will drip from the spray nozzle instead of spraying. Not the durable sprayer that you’d want if you buy a gallon of product and want to refill several times.
All of my bottles now have different sprayers which I bought separately.

Handy to dilute chemical guys products. Easy to use dilution guide on bottles.

I purchased these for car detailing products and they never worked well. Right from the start the nozzles leaked on my hand during use. The first one broke within a couple months, the spray nozzle broke completely off the screw cap. Then a few months later the same thing happened to the 2nd one. Now I have only one left and even that one is leaking badly. DO NOT buy these. Why is is so hard to find good spray bottles??

I run a detail company from my house and I purchase these bottles to put chemicals in from gallon jugs. They are great bottles and hold up well. The trigger works great adn never have had an issue with any of them. I have purchased multiple sets and all are great and working well still over 6 months of use and abuse with the detail business.

Love CG products. But very disappointed with the shipping experience. one of the bottles has cracks. Tried to initiate a refund and plan to repurchase again. but to my surprise, the pricing has gone up by 80%. Seriously.. is this how Amazon price the items?

You can recycle empty Chemical Guys product bottles instead of buying these – I do that with an occasional EcoSmart or Swift Wipe bottles, Speed Wipe and Synthetic Quick Detailer – but you are less likely to grab the wrong bottle, even if you re-label them, compared with these factory empty bottles which “force” us to read the label to confirm.

Also, filling accurately (when working from concentrate) is MUCH easier with the very precise fill lines and dilution marking lines on the sides of these empty bottles.

Also – when I re-use empty Chemical Guys bottles, I have to use Vise Grips to get the cap off the security-locked anti-unscrew nubbins, then use a metal file to file down the “child proof lock” raised nubbins so I don’t have to use a Vise Grip again in the future.

Of course once the unlockable nubs are gone, you can whack the spray head if carried in a day pack, partially unscrew the spray cap, and get a leak.

Value for the money is very low. I got a 3 pack for about $15. That comes out to $5 per bottle, and the price for product-filled bottles is only $9.99 in most cases. Ugh. But then, I tried cheapo no name spray bottles from unknown companies and they leaked, had poor spray distribution, globbed at the spray tip and dripped afterwards, spray patterns were bad. Almost every “factory” bottle I’ve used, even $5 Turtle Wax Clean ‘n’ Shine emptied and re-used, has far surpassed the “empty” non-brand name bottles sold here.

These original Chemical Guys bottles, on the other hand, have the usual GREAT spray nozzles that we get from their usual 16 oz bottles filled with product. I mean, they are the same, just empty.

I fill up with these Chemical Guys empties (with no child-lock!) with CG’s own EcoSmart Waterless Car Wash or Swift Wipe Waterless Car Wash, with Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic 3 in 1 Detailer (the stock 32 oz bottle is too big to carry in the car) and also with Adams Rinseless Car Wash which can be used for bucket wash or for waterless wash in a sprayer. I don’t think I’ll need an empty for my favorite go-to detailer, Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax (improved formula) since it comes in just a 20oz bottle to begin with, although it’s shaped slim and wide vs. the uniform compact roundness of the CG’s empties.

Now if you are a pro trying to put together a compact kit it’s worth trying this instead: Chemical Guys Acc_121.16HD3 Acc_121.16HD-3PK Chemical Resistant Heavy Duty Bottle and Sprayer, 16 oz, Pack of 3

Those are almost the same bottles (different labels) BUT with heavy duty pro sprayers. I mean those sprayers put out way too much product for me, I’m more used to using the stock CG’s sprays to lightly “spritz” each panel – almost never do a full trigger pull even on the consumer grade nozzles vs. the pro nozzles on the heavy duty version.

If you buy other CG’s products from time to time, save the spray heads to use with these non-childproof lock bottles – they fit. If you relieve the negative air pressure by loosening and retightening the spray cap after each job, the clear plastic bottles will outlast the sprayer. Most users don’t notice the negative air pressure collapsing the thin outside walls of the bottle as they spray product – there’s no pressure relief valve to even out the air pressure.

So there you go. Overpriced but worth it. Currently the pro version are much cheaper on Amazon, go figure.
