Little Zaino Bottles
I am tired of washing them out after using them with the ZFX. I'd like to get a bunch so I can use them once and throw them away. Any ideas where these little bottles come from and how I can get 2-3 dozen?

back when I used it, my wife found me some small bottles at walmart or something that worked pretty good.

If you have an REI close by, they sell a 1 oz bottle that is very soft, for under $1. I buy a ton of them for doing demos, when I have 6 or 7 people join in to apply polish.

I buy mine at an arts and crafts store. They're two once bottles and have the flip up lid. Softer and easier to squeeze. The store I buy from in NJ is Michaels.

I was gonna suggest Michael's too. In fact, I've found the EXACT same bottles there, as you get from Zaino when you order the ZFX kit.
Another alternative that will make your Zaino supply last longer, is to use plastic syringes. I find them for a buck at the dollar stores... they are packaged as marinade injectors. Just discard the metal needle it comes with and you have a plastic syringe ideal for the consistency of Zaino fluids... and, the syringe self-cleans as you use the Zaino which means you aren't discarding who knows how much fluid still stuck to the insides of a bottle. If you want to re-use a syringe, it's much easier to clean out than a bottle... or, at a buck each, discard and use new ones each time.

Wash with warm water, then fill with rubbing alcohol and let sit overnight, rinse with warm water the next day, been using the same bottles for years using that method.

I purchased a gazillion of these things sometime ago from USPC (United States Plastic Corporation) along with a couple 5 gallon buckets and grit guards. The 2oz size bottles (and caps) were extremely cheap if bought in bulk.
