  • quik detailer bottles

    went out and bought a bottle of quik interior detailer.

    just one thing i noticed, is that the bottle tends to leak.
    anyone notice leaking on the quik detailer bottles?

    i would spray, then the product will continue to leak onto my hands, or wold drip.

    i noticed quik detailer would leak aswell...
    i guess its just the trigger sprays on the particular bottles?

    i hive mixed feelings about the sprayers.
    ya if you invert the bottle they tend to leak. I have also noticed that QID and QD they spray great, but the trigger seems to jam sometimes on the natural shine sprayer.

      For some reason I dont like the sprayer on my NXT Speed Detailer... it leaks a little bit after a few sprays and the spray pattern doesnt spray as finely as my QD bottle.

      However.. my QD bottle is years and years old.. maybe they were made better back then.

        I really like the sprayers but I have had a couple problems.... My NXT speed Detailer's sprayer only works about 25% of the time. My Bug and Tar Remover leaks all over your hand. But out of all the Meguiars spray bottles I have those are the only two problems.

            I have had 4 bottles of Quik Detailer now from the A-line in the red bottles. 3 out of the 4 have leaked from the bottom as if there was a hole in the bottle. I never had a problem with the sprayer maybe because they were half empty by the time I got to use it!!!

                Yea I have had mine leak out of the sprayer when you squeese the trigger and hold the bottle the right way even with sprayers other than Meguiars. I went out and brought Meguiars Chemical resistant nossles and bottles and emptied my QD's into them. Now they are made to not leak, even when you knock them over.

                    Just bought a Nxt SD few days ago. Tried it over the holiday weekend, and guess what. My hands are all wet with the liquid. It leaks. Unlucky me.

                        Yes mine have leaked also from the cap or sprayer so all I did was just transfer product to another spray bottle that has a round bottom which is easier for me to shake, carry around and does not leak on my hands the floor or the vehicle. At the local beauty supply store.

                          My QID bottle leaks from the sprayer when I turn it slightly sideways. Also, the trigger came off a few times, but it was pretty easy to stick back on.

                          The sprayer on one of the big bottles of QD I bought quit working.

                            For me, it seems to be hit or miss. One bottle the sprayer may leak, the next one won't. So I tend to keep a "good" spray head and when a new bottle's sprayer starts to leak I replace it with the one that I saved.

                              Meguiar's chemicals may be of the highest quality, but the spray heads on bottles supplied with the products are ****. The detailer line chemical resistant spray heads work fine, but I've had several issues with the normal detailer line spray heads.

                              I understand the need to minimize costs, but I'm sure Meguiar's could afford to spends 2 or 3 cents more for better spray heads.

                              Since I needed something to put my bulk-sized Meguiar's products into, I purchased a large quantity of bottles, dispenser caps and chemical resistant spray heads (same brand CR spray heads as Meguiar's detailer line) from a plastics supply house for a ridiculously low price. ($1.77 for 32 oz. chemical resistant bottle and chemical resistant Viton spray head.)

                              Now all my spray heads are chemical resistant and leak resistant. I can put a bottle of QD in the trunk and not have it leak!
