Evening all, got some DB but not in the spray bottle. Will it be ok to put into a normal bottle or will I need a special sprayer?

Cheers

I'm sure it will be fine just so long as you don't  apply too thick a layer.  If in doubt, buy a a sprayer and bottle   http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/empty-bottles-sprayers/cat_135.html

You can get standard or chemical resistant spray heads which may be better for stuff like DB and tar removers.  I always buy a few of these to use with wheel cleaner, tardis etc

How come you boys and girls who obviously like to keep your cars clean are letting your wheels get so dirty that they need a specialist cleaner? I've used nothing but shampoo with a splash of snow foam to thicken it up for years. Even if I've gone 3-4 weeks in winter without washing the car, that's all it's needed.

Haha, good point.  Can't speak for others, but on mine specialist cleaner (IronX) is used only couple of times a year, to tackle stubborn brake dust.  Rest of the time it's a squirt of bilberry wheel cleaner and the usual shampoo  :smiley:

I only use a wheel cleaner  3 or 4 times a year, as it takes off all the protection. so I use that and re-apply for an easier clean in the interim period.
