Ultimate Detailer Bottle issues

[broman1960]

Why is it that evey bottle I get of the Ultimate Detailer never works? This is causing me not to by it anymore. I love the product but if I'm paying for the packaging I want it to work. I've bought like over 15 bottles and 13 of them do not work properly, they either leak at the handle or platic straw inside is no good.

Call Customer Service and see what they can do for you. I'm sure they can work something out.

I had a leaky bottle once, I ended up buying a generic spry bottle and put the UD in it.

I did call Megs and they replaced the product. Certainly call, they will take care of it. But I still use my generic bottle

Hate to say it, but Megs failed terribly on there last batch of sprayer heads. I'm sure they've learned from this, but it will take a while to run through whats already been shipped out

Re: Ultimate Detailer Bottle issues

I've used like 2-3 botttles so far...no issues
I have 6 more new bottles on the shelf.....do you have a batch code(s) on the bottles

Re: Ultimate Detailer Bottle issues

I pitched mine, couldnt see anything obvious but when you gave it a good shake (per instructions) the stuff would come out (leak) pretty good.

The lid was tight but with multiple parts in the sprayer head it could have been some mis-fit of a molded part.

I keep a few sprayer bottles around and had one with water in it so I dumped that and its now my UD bottle

No big issue for me, Meguiars stood behind their product 100%. If/when I go buy another Ill give it a shake before I buy it just in case .....

Four of the last 6 bottles if UQD have clogged up on me. I wind up transferring the UQD into a red bottle QD sprayer. I have moved on to the #135 gallon jugs and the generic Meg's spray bottles. I do like the smaller sized bottles for when I travel though.

Re: Ultimate Detailer Bottle issues

When you have a good sprayer on one of the bottles. Save it for future use. Then when you get a bad sprayer. just switch sprayers. no fuss, no mess.

Re: Ultimate Detailer Bottle issues

The issue is why should I have to switch it over when I'm paying for the container also? The UC codes are all different from different auto stores.

Re: Ultimate Detailer Bottle issues

I have also run in to this problem before. What I did was a simple and quick fix. Just take the sprayer from a bottle that works, does not have to be the same product. And I have not run in to the problem since.

While the first part of this stings a bit, we'll take our lumps - with apologies to anyone who has experienced sprayer issues with UQD. The second part of Flash's post is spot on; there may well be inventory out there with potential issues, and we'll deal with those as they arise.

broman1960, please do contact our Customer Care Center at 800-347-5700 for assistance.

Again, our apologies for any inconvenience or frustration posed by this sprayer issue.

Re: Ultimate Detailer Bottle issues

I've had one UD sprayer fail on me. I just unscrewed an old QD sprayer and put it on the UD bottle, it fits and worked fine.

Re: Ultimate Detailer Bottle issues

Damn, this just happened to me again and this marks my fifth sprayer failure. Sadly, I'm on the road and will have to find the ubiquitous Walmart and buy another. I sure hope Megs gets on top of this issue soon. I've tried dipping the sprayer head in hot water to try to open it up to no avail. Poking a fine wire in the nozzle doesn't open it up either. I'm out of tricks. In every case it seems like the nozzle has clogged. If one of the Megs engineers wants me to mail them the defective sprayer for testing or inspection let me know. I'd be more than happy to help resolve this issue.

FWIW, the products I take with on my travels are stored at 60°-80°F and in a padded bag. My travel kit:



I do use M135 when home and use the Meg's Pro bottles and sprayers with no issue. They are just to big to take with when I'm traveling.

Jim, what do you use for a wash bucket? You've got everything else and I've not seen those soap strips!

I haven't used any UQD lately (been doing full washes followed with UQW), but previously I found a piece of foam in the intake tube that hindered flow.
