Full Description

The Better Detailing 1L Natural HDPE Cylindrical Bottle is an empty 1 litre bottle in natural, uncoloured HDPE with sloping shoulders and a 28/410 neck, for decanting and diluting detailing products. It is the bottle only, so you add the trigger head, cap or dispenser that suits the job, as long as it is made for a 28/410 neck.

It is made in the UK and holds 1 litre, or 1,105ml filled to the brim. It stands 242mm tall, measures 83.4mm across and weighs 45g empty. HDPE carries resin code 2 and is recyclable in standard UK recycling facilities. Trigger heads are sold separately: we have fitted our Better Detailing Chemical Resistant Trigger Spray Head to this bottle and it screws on and seals.

Expert Notes

This is a plain 1 litre bottle for anyone who decants or mixes their own detailing products. The 28/410 neck takes trigger heads, caps and dispensers made for that neck size, so the same bottle can be a sprayer for a diluted cleaner or a capped store for a concentrate. Check that the product you fill it with can be stored in HDPE, label every bottle with the product and its dilution, and keep each bottle to one product so chemicals never mix. Rinse it with water before refilling it with something new. Store filled bottles upright, capped and away from heat and sunlight, out of reach of children. Trigger heads are sold separately.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Diluted detailing products
  • Decanting from 5L containers
  • Spray bottles for the kit
  • Mixing dilutions
  • Workshop storage
  • Mobile detailing kits

Caution: Check the product suits HDPE, label every bottle and never mix products in one bottle. Keep it out of reach of children.

The Brand

Better Detailing

Better Detailing is a range of detailing brushes, pressure washer fittings, trigger spray heads and bottles that we sell at The Drivers HQ. It covers the parts that make a wash setup work: snow foam lance adapters for the main pressure washer makes, stubby trigger gun adapters, solid brass quick release fittings, a swivel connector, a quick release nozzle set, a stubby gun, trigger spray heads and a 1 litre bottle for your own dilutions, alongside natural boar hair and synthetic detailing brushes for vents, badges, trim and wheels.

You can buy Better Detailing online with UK delivery or in our Ilkeston shop. Our customers' favourites are the Quick Release Nozzle Set, the Boar Hair Sash Brush, the Karcher stubby trigger gun adapter and the Karcher K2 to K7 snow foam lance adapter.

Better Detailing fittings and brushes

Snow foam lance adapters. Each adapter replaces the machine fitting on an aftermarket snow foam lance, so the lance fits your pressure washer. The Karcher K2 to K7 adapter has an engineering-grade polymer body with a precision-machined brass thread. The range also covers Karcher Pro HD and HDS, new type, Karcher Pro HD and HDS, old type, Nilfisk, Gerni, Kew, Alto, Stihl and Husqvarna, Bosch AQT short type and Portland Husky, Silverline, Hunter, Anlu, IPC and Skil 0761 and Lavor, Parkside, Vax, Sterwins and Argos Qualcast.

Stubby guns and fittings. The High Pressure Stubby Trigger Gun has an M22 male inlet and a 1/4in quick release outlet. To fit a stubby gun to your machine there are adapters for Karcher, Nilfisk and Lavor, Lutian and Black & Decker. The solid brass M22 male to 3/8in female quick release adapter and 1/4in BSP female to 1/4in quick connect adapter convert threads to quick release, and the brass M22 14mm swivel connector turns a full 360 degrees between gun and hose so the hose stops twisting as you walk round the car. Check your thread first: it is made for M22 14mm fittings.

Nozzles and sprayers. The Quick Release Nozzle Set has four stainless steel tips: 0 degree red, 15 degree yellow, 25 degree green and 40 degree white. The wider the angle, the gentler the spray, so the 40 degree tip is the one for rinsing paintwork. The Trigger Spray Head fits 28/410 bottle necks and gives about 1.2ml per full pull. For stronger products there is the heavy duty Chemical Resistant Trigger Spray Head, and the 1L Natural HDPE Cylindrical Bottle has a 28/410 neck for decanting and diluting. We have fitted the chemical resistant head to that bottle, and it screws on and seals.

Detailing brushes. The natural boar hair brushes come as the Sash Brush in small, medium and large, the Premium Boar Hair Brush in six sizes, the V2 Boar Hair Brush in five sizes with a chemical-resistant handle and hanging loop, and the Plastic Handle Boar Hair Brush. They are soft enough for vents, badges, gloss black trim and leather. The ultra-soft synthetic brushes come long and short, the Firm Synthetic Brush has firm bristles with soft flagged tips for panel gaps, engine bays, calipers and polish residue, and the Chemical Resistant Brush stands up to repeated use with strong wheel cleaners.

Shop the range by type: adapters and quick connects, snow foam lances, stubby trigger guns, spray triggers, empty bottles and detailing brushes.

Which snow foam lance adapter do I need?

Most aftermarket snow foam lances come with one machine fitting. If your pressure washer takes a different one, an adapter swaps it, so match the adapter to the brand of your machine:

If you are not sure which connection your machine has, check its manual or the gun outlet, or ask our team in the Ilkeston shop for help choosing a compatible adapter. For lances to go with the adapter, see our snow foam lances.
