Product watery=plastic bottle debate.....

[Nappers]

Gang,

I've read and participated in possibly plastic bottles and the chemcial makeup of the bottles possibly turning product in the M80 series watery.....

Tonight I left an FYI for Meguiar's to check out the possibility of the plastic bottles being the culprit.

This is what I wrote:

I have a concern on a MOL write up indicating that when product is stored in the M9912 or other type of bottle that products will turn watery or make the product separate. I recently had a gallon size of M80 replaced as it turned watery. When done with a detail I would return the unused portion back into the gallon size. After reading the story of plastic bottles possibly turning product watery, I suspect that is what happened to my product. I have since not returned the unused portion of M80 to the gallon size. Today I noticed the M80 I have in the M9912 bottle is watery and the product remaining in the M8032 and M8001 bottles are doing fine and appear to be thick as it was when I received it. Neither products are exposed to the elements and are stored in our house in a room attached to our laundry room and where all of my products are stored.

I just wanted to let you know I see similar stories on the M80 series (mostly M80/M82) turning watery when stored in a plastic bottle. Why it doesn't do it on the factory bottles? No idea, would be cool if the bottles could be made the same as the tan bottles. I only have about 6oz's of product that turned watery.

Just FYI to check out the possibility of the plastic bottles turning product watery (with chemicals in the bottles I assume??).

Thanks

If you select the search button and enter "Watery" you can find a few threads about the product going watery.

This thread talks about the LDPE (or something like that) bottles which is the culprit:

"M82 Seems Watery"

I know that this is not a huge problem and less for detailers that goes through this stuff quickly unlike myself or others that are detailing own cars or detail part time.

Just FYI.....

I should add that those who did, Mike advised them to leave feedback to Meguiar's like I did.

I remember this and Mike suggested a separate thread on the bottle thing but forgot and since I did check the M80 in the M9912 bottle, it is watery as opposed to the M80 in the 32oz bottle and my gallon bottle.

Just FYI, I got a reply via email from Blake Beamish from Meguiar's on the matter:

Whenever I had a problem or a praise for Meguiar's products or concerns, questions, anything really, I had a quick response from Meguiar's.

Some time ago, I thought my new G100 was broke and I actually thought it better to be tested by the pro's rather than ship back to Meguiar's. It was used at an Open Garage and worked fine. I received it back with the newer W67DA backing plate (to which I sent my old W64DA to a member who needed one). Basically operator error and I was able to overcome them and it does indeed work fine and I ended up not sending a good machine back to Meguiar's.

Good show Meguiar's
