Hi-

I have a really stupid, basic question on quick detailer:

I can't figure out how to "open" the spray bottle. It doesn't have the usual little square knob that you twist to open most spray bottles. If I pump the handle, nothing happens. So what's the trick to opening Meguiar's spray bottles?

Try unscrewing the lid/cap to see if there's a foil seal that should be removed.

I tried that-- there is no seal.

I just checked mine, I hadn't used it.

I just pumped it slowly a couple of times and it started working.

First I pumped it fast and nothing. Shook it, nothing. Pumped it slowly and it started spraying.

There is a little plastic tab in front of the nozzle. It is about 1/4" wide and 5/8" tall. The tab is a seal and is designed to be broken off. Just stick a small slot screwdriver behind the tab and push the tab outwards.

pinecone-

That was exactly it-- I was pumping it fast. Once I gave it a slow, firm sqeeze, it worked.

AWd-

There was no tab-- but the above method got it working.

THanks for your posts guys.

Well, there used to be a plastic tab on the Quik Detailer bottles. Meguiar's must have redesigned the sprayers. Anyway, glad to hear that you got it working.
