0 LT1xL82 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I buy many products in gallons because it has a lower unit cost. In reality, for some products, for me this is too much. Over-buy-itis! Gallons that really make sense for me: Car Shampoo/Wash 'n Wax, DS, RW, WC, APC, Microfiber Rejuvenator & Brighter,TRC Edited November 21, 2016 by LT1xL82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I built up my collection by first buying 16oz bottles and then slowly purchased every gallon as I needed them to refill the 16oz bottles. The EZ-Fill Threaded Funnel is a very simple but awesome product at making sure you don't spill any product either! mc2hill, LT1xL82, falcaineer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Feets31 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I like the bigger bottles and the gallons so I can over use all the product I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mariner Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Over a year, I've accumulated gallons of everything I use, and a couple gallons of the big ticket items. I have around 18-20 gallons I think, and 16 oz bottles of everything as well. I don't like the 32oz bottles because they don't fit in my pride bag.

0 BRC Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I have all 16oz or 32oz for dispensing and I really recommend the funnel to tranfer liquids. I'm accumulating gallons to back those up. Here is what I have in gallons: 1) Wash Shampoo 2) Wheel Cleaner - wish it wasn't so, but the Brembo brake pads are killer on the dust! I use this every wash, typically. But I use a 50% dilution. 3) All Purpose Cleaner 4) Microfiber Revitalizer 5) Detail Spray 6) Waterless Wash - I should probably use Rinseless Wash to be more economical, but this is what I'm comfortable with. I'm looking to pick up Glass Cleaner and Tire Shine in the gallon size, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing for glass. I have gallons of just about everything, but I've barely made a dent in Interior Detailer and Glass Cleaner.

0 chops1sc Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Same as Dan. Use the 16oz for use then refill from gallons as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the VRT are actually lasting me a really long time. Thanks for the heads-up! Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've refilled my 32oz bottle twice. So I'm going to be using it for a while. BRC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PostalTwo Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I have only recently started with adams so I just have 16oz bottles now . But the plan is to buy Gallons of the stuff I use alot of and keep with the 16oz for the stuff that dosent get used as quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is kept in garages, but I gather dust a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 avimore Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I started with 16oz bottles, then bought gallons of products I know I'll use the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 shane@detailedreflections Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I usually get a gallon and a 16 ounce of new products. The 16 ounce so I have the spray (and more product) and the gallon to refill. I have noticed a trend though where the bottles are getting smaller (8 ounce mostly) and not all gallons are being offered (odor neutralizer). I think Dan said they were working on a solution for customers who detail more often or shops so that they can buy bigger quantities of product. I keep waiting for that to happen. Sometimes an 8 ounce bottle isn't enough when you're detailing frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Antv20 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Like most I started with 16 ounce bottles. Once I figured out what my high use products are I started buying gallons. I probably have 10 gallon jugs of various products. Will need to order some APC and soap before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LT1xL82 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) ...not all gallons are being offered (odor neutralizer). ... I can't say I understand not having ODN in gallons. The stuff can be used frequently in vehicles, around the house,... If it where available, I'd be placing another order with my favorite OCD enabler!

0 SSJ455 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have the car shampoo and detailer in gallon sizes as they are cheaper per ounce then if I bought the smaller bottles. I have small spray bottles for the detailer to keep in the trunk for when I need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having the 16oz bottles for everything because it looks so much more organized but it is cheaper to just get a gallon! What does everyone else do?
