Review: How is the CarPro Dilute bottle spray bottle so good AND so bad?

- The CarPro Dilute bottle is brilliant and brilliantly flawed. Let me show you why you should absolutely have one....and only one.

Never thought I would be hooked on a video about bottles and triggers! But it is important to get a good tool for the job. As always, great video mate!
I feel like this shouldn't be remotely interesting..... But somehow is?
@@SuperchargedLlamahow does a person do 256-1 mixing with that if it only goes up to 30-1
@@angelad75 you'd do that manually, there's no bottle on the market that supports it. The only products I've come across that has 256:1 as a ratio is ONR (or other Rinseless wash products) so it's actually easier to mix up the big quantity of wash solution in the bucket and just dunk a spray bottle in that to fill it. 256:1 is roughly 4ml to a litre, and you don't need to be that accurate with it when it's a Rinseless.
I ended up with a whole pile of IK sprayers. Great bottles, impossible to read the measurements on them.
I already had a few of the dilute bottles and never use them for this exact reason.
Not for a second considered that I could mix in one and decant in to the other. Thanks for that!
You are welcome! I was doing it yesterday in fact, I actually use the old Bilt Hamber bottles most of the time as they're just so ergonomically easy, compared to any other options available. I didn't get on with the IKs, although they aren't bad, they just aren't better than the standard cheap bottles you seem to get from every retailer, especially when you can't read the measurements on them!
Great video as always! Thanks!
I’ve tried a lot of bottles and found the auto finesse to be the best for me, with the pro trigger it feels good in the hand
I might have a look at them. I have tried someone else's IK sprayer but I just don't like the bottle to hold, it's really unpleasant. I know its all subjective but you wouldn't have thought it this hard to make a good one?
@@SuperchargedLlama yeah I completely get it, a lot are just replicate the design and add a label for their brand but don’t consider the ergonomics, even a full 1L of auto finesse feels good to hold, you should give it a go
@@MottuFPS I definitely will because these, whilst brilliant for measuring are horrendous for using.
Im two months into trying to get some decent bottles and triggers and honestly there is nothing that great. Im not sold on the pressol, I have had the kwazar before and they didnt last long at all.
I do like the Opus verte triggers, Calma and Vela.
I know exactly what you mean. Ultimately I think the Dilute bottles are useful for the measuring side of things, so I'd always have one for that. But for the bottles, I generally just go generic and have some generic Tolco chemical and acid resistant triggers, they're cheaper and more ergnomic, and cheap to replace too. I love the Bilt Hamber bottles, but they aren't going to be around for much longer.

Your video got me looking into the bill hamber bottles, what’s happening to them? They honestly seem the most ergonomic.
The Opus verse triggers they use are some of my favourite.
I will keep searching.
@@nicholaswirth1011 I believe the Bilt Hamber ones are going to their new style rounded bottles, that look like the ones they ship their 1L bottles in. www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/bilt-hamber-korrosol?variant=39416527781967
Any links to the bottles would be appreciated 👍🏻
DOH! I hadn't realised I'd forgotten them. www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/carpro-dilute-spray-bottle?tracking=UAWLhxqzd1OXezy01pxSSnK9JsRmFLuMZ32tPCPkBWm2vBOXrVY6XBthD51ipKHV
The images on CleanYourCar are different to everyone else's, I wonder if there's been a refresh of the design as the triggers here look dramatically better.
Awesome thanks
You're welcome 🤘
So why not just buy each one of the bottles and put screw caps on them, to use for measuring.
Do you mean something like those Tolco ones? www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/tolco-pro-blend-proportioner-28-400-orange?ghref=3377%3A373130

Link of trigger?
www.slimsdetailing.co.uk/products/koch-chemie-star-spray-head hopefully that helps. They're Canyon triggers from what I can tell looking at them.
@@SuperchargedLlama thanks!
well that sucks, i just ordered one of these lol i guess its neat for measuring but i would of saved my money.
You've bought the perfect volume of the item then. Great to have one, not essential to have all your bottles of this type.
1/60 se puede?
The minimum recommended dilution on the label is 1:20.
