Why do all of my Detailer sprayers/bottles leak?

[mckeand13]

It seems as though almost every one my detailer bottle sprayers leak. They leak at the sprayer/bottle interface not from the sprayer itself.

It seems the worst time is with a freshly filled bottle and you tip the bottle at an angle to spray something other than straight on. The fluid goes above the sprayer and then seemingly leaks out around the threads.

Nothing seems deteriorated, and it doesn't seem to matter which chemical I'm using.

Anybody else have leaky bottle problems?

I learned the hard way that if you store your bottles sideways above all your wash mitts, you will need new wash mitts because it will all leak out in about a week.

My problem bottles are the wheel brightner bottles, the sprayer doesnt "lock" on...dont know if i explained that right. but it never stays screwed on tight, always "crossthreading"

Knock on wood so far only one of my bottles leaked. But I had a extra sprayer to fix it right away.

I had a brand new giant bottle of QD (I don't have the bottle at the moment) leak about 2/3 of the product in my trunk. Needless to say I wasn't happy - waisting about $5 worth of QD is frustrating....

We note that ours leak only when subjested to heat or direct sun light. Causes the chems to swell/expand and it comes out the top...but that is our bad for setting them in the sun...you guys might want to make certain yours are not in the direct sun? Other then these times we have no issues.
