Question How in the hell do you clean the 2-ounce ZFX mixing bottles?

OK, I Zaino'd my car for the first time today, and I know you have to clean the mixing bottles within 12 hours, but how do you clean it all? Toothbrush? It's all sticking to the sides so normal soap and water wont get it off.



BTW, Zaino is amazing. I am, as of today, a lifetime customer. KevinSS is almost as amazing as Zaino.

Fill the bottle half full of water and put a drop or two of dish washing liquid in the bottle and shake, it that does not work fill the bottle half full with rubbing alcohol and shake and wash out with water after all that. If the bottle still has a few traces of color (dye) from the polish it will still be OK for the next use.

Rinse with hot water once finished, then rinse with rubbing alcohol, I then fill the bottle with alcohol and let it sit over night.

I do it the easy way.

I throw them in the trash.

Then I goto WalMart, and buy a bag of them for like 90 cents.

I always use rubbing alcohol...... half fill the bottle, then shake well and expel the contents through the spout (to clean that too). I've found that Zaino is resistant to dish washing liquid, so I almost never use it to clean my bottles. After all, dish soap will not remove Zaino from the car. So, I use the alcohol method and the bottle comes pretty clean. Plus, I think alcohol residue is easier to wash out that dish soap residue. You can also use a small toothbrush to scrub any remaining residue you want even cleaner.

After the alcohol bath, I rinse thoroughly with hot water, to remove the traces of alcohol and any remaining residue. All this sounds like much ado about nothiing, but it really only takes about 1 minute to get it clean.
