New 5 Gallon container design for Spray & Wipe - DetailCity.org

awd330 · 03-01-2004, 11:51 PM

One of the recent lost threads concerned the latest developments at Poorboy's World. Besides all the talk about new products, I don't remember anyone mentioning the design of the new 5 gallon Spray and Wipe containers. I bought a 5 gallon pail last year, and struggled with trying to dispense the liquid into more manageable sized containers (like gallon jugs and 32 oz bottles). I talked with Steve about this issue, and he investigated a few methods for making the container more user friendly. The result is a new rectangular container with better handholds and an optional on/off spigot. See attached.

Steve - Thanks for listening to your customers and working to provide such user friendly solutions!

Now that thing is sweet. Makes dispensing so much easier!

Cool!

Now that is nice! I knew I got in too much of a hurry to order my last 5 gal bucket of S&W. It sat all winter, had to move it into the house so it wouldn't freeze and I'm just now ready to open it and transfer the contents into gallon jugs. Nice work Steve! Is it refillable?

Poorboy · 03-02-2004, 11:00 AM

Jim yes it's refillable, but not with Spray and Wipe

no really that's the largest container I will have transported due to cost, unless there are special orders for larger ones, which would be drop shipped directly from the factory

yes Hans similar to a water jug but made to hold chemicals..I'm not in the plastic biz so I really couldn't say for sure:dunno

SCHWEET!

Steve, you should market those with the whole rack system. Get a pail of S&W & NL and you are good to go!

I have a stupid question??? Do you have to shake up the S&W before using. I just got my 5 gallons today and i'm gonna have to join a gym if have a to shake this thing up everytime. BTW, the new container is AWESOME! Steve comes through again!

S&W does not require shaking.

Have you tried the spigot yet? I'm interested in hearing about how well it works.

It weighs a little less than 50 pounds. I don't even want to think about how much it would cost to ship that to Portugal. :bigscream
