    have to rant here....

    I woke up today remembering that my nanoskin pads were supposed to come today, which it did. Before I ordered my nanoskin, I picked up two meguiars quick detailer bottles, the pads preformed okay as my paint had some stuck on grime. The fine pad eventually started to mar , but it was mostly due to my technique and not the actual product. While I was using my meguiars bottles, the first bottles trigger snapped off. I was using only a couple of squirts and all of a sudden, the trigger just snapped. I grabbed my second bottle and started to work more. While working , guess what happens, the second bottle's trigger snapped off again.
    You think a thing like this could not have problems but it could.

    Yeah I know how you feel those over the counter sprayers that come with the products are very cheap/delicate one time that happen to me when I was trying to get a bird dropping off my paint try putting one of your good sprayers onto the bottle or put the product into reliable bottle/sprayer

    its not like meguiars is not reputable, its just that the plastic design is way too thin which results in the triggers snapping off.

    That sucks man! I bought this stuff awhile back and the trigger is heavy duty:

    Meguiars #34 Final Inspection is a final step quick detail spray to create a show car shine on any car. Meguiars #34 Final Inspection Instant Shine

    Megs Final Inspection is great to use as clay lube. They should have this at any autoparts store near you...

    good to know, I like the quick detailer, because it does a really good job and is reasonable, but idk with the sprayers now

    I have the sprayer piece and the bottles, does anybody know what I should glue together, If I glue it in the wrong spot, it would render the bottle useless =)

    Forget trying to glue...I had same problem once not worth it because it will break again. At least that was my experience...

    I go to dollar store and get bottles from there (the ones I have bought worked fine) but I do prefer the Poorboy’s World Refill Sprayer a lot better, and at $1.00 a piece, I am investing $2 per bottle (32 oz) and it works perfect for me.

    Yeah, I have had issues with the Megs QD snapping also. I would buy it and then transfer the liquid
