  • What a mess

    I don't post here often as I'm still learning but this is a great forum. Thanks to all the help from reading a lot of posts. My cars look great.

    Now on to my problem. I hope this doesn't sound dumb and/or long winded

    Last spring I bought a gallon of APC (my wife loves it for around the house as well). I went to grab it from the basement over the weekend. It had cracked on the side (maybe an inch from the bottom) and leaked out. The basement is finished and heated. It was stored in one of those hard plastic containers with the flip top on a shelf in a closet that nobody goes into. I also had a gallon on HD, a smooth surface clay bar kit as well as some other meguiar's OTC products I found on sale. These were all purchased before the winter. The HD was leaking from the bottom corner of the bottle. I was able to save 1/4 of the bottle. All the rest of the bottles were fine but all the labels were discolored.

    So I nee to buy another gallon of APC but I want to make sure it doesn't leak out again. Is there another container I can move it to so it does not leak out?

    I'll wait on the HD as it is a little pricey for me and I should have enough to last the summer.

    Is APC strong enough to eat through a plastic bottle?

    Did the clay bar get ruined? I don't think so since it was wrapped in plastic and then inside the plastic box.

    Thanks

    APC should not be strong enough to eat through its own bottle. I have had mine for 2-3 years now. Maybe it was treated roughly at the store.

    As long as the clay was wrapped, and got nothing on it, it is fine.

      Thanks for the quick reply

      That's what I thought. Maybe I'll just keep the new bottle in a bucket.

        I had that happen with a bottle of All Wheel Cleaner. I was reaching into the plastic bin to get something else and got into the All Wheel Cleaner that had spilled out. Only problem was that I had a small cut on my hand. When the AWC got into that cut ... well lets just say words can't express the pain I felt.

        It took a while for the pain to subside and only then was I able to concentrate on being mad about loosing the product
