For some things that need diluting e.g. snowfoam, I pump it direct into the snowfoam bottle then add water. For others, such as quick detailing spray, I pump into a smaller 400-500ml trigger spray bottle (not sure of the exact size as I bought several along with chemical-rated spray heads). They pump out 25-30ml per press so it's a fairly fast process.

If I had a 5L car shampoo, I'd probably just pump some into the bucket before adding hot water rather than bother filling up a smaller bottle and then squirting that into the bucket.
Good points, I will give that a go. Especially as I am making a sink / hot water supply in the small garage where I store all the products now :thumbsup:

Still prefer the wine box option. If it doesn't fit the bill then at least its no big deal :wink:

I'm here Paul, don't worry. :D
My advice is to get your estate manager/ head gardener/ gillie to decant said liquid, using the funnel advised, for you. Then get the footman to utilise said product. For a man of your wealth I'm surprised you had to ask TBH.

I always referred to those as "spunk pumps", for obvious reasons! :wink:

Pondy self pleasuring is far more likely to evoke snickers rather than be a marathon......... :poke:

Talking of that; I haven't seen John E89 around lately, again. Have you heard from him Paul?

I sent him a PM a while ago and it hasn’t been opened. (I’ve just checked)

Hopefully he will let us know he is ok :thumbsup:
