quik detailer bottles

[tomee]

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.

Re: quik detailer bottles

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!!!

Re: quik detailer bottles

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.

I never had this kind of problem with QD or QID.

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.

Re: quik detailer bottles

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.

Re: quik detailer bottles

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.

Re: quik detailer bottles

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.

Re: quik detailer bottles

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!
