Meg`s Q.I.D. Issues

[EXPDetailing]

I know posting this here is the right choice because posting this "Over there" might catch me some flak. Besides, I think I`ll get better answers here.

Here`s the issue: Every bottle of Meg`s QID that I buy all smell vastly different. It used to smell good, light, and clean. Now, it ranges from heavy, pungent and unusable, to moderately vinegary (wow, that`s really a word), and just barley usable.

They came this way right off the shelf. I don`t think it`s the new 3M acquisition as every bottle smells different than the next.

Any thoughts?

hmm..can you put it in a clear bottle? I have a gallon I bought about two years ago..never had any issues

I could see if yours is the same color as mine..but I never noticed any bad smell


is that what you sent me in the XMT bottle?

No, that`s not what I sent. I wouldn`t do that to you. I sent you D180. That stuff is a-okay. I`m referring to the black bottles that I buy OTC when I see it on sale.
I`ll try to take a pic if I have enough left. I`m going to baseball practice with my son right now, so I`l try to post later. But, thank you for the help.

ok I didn`t think so but wanted to make sure..I`ve never bought it OTC so I guess I am of no help to you then -- that`s weird though

if I get a chance tomorrow I will go to walmart and see if I can do some research for you on their OTC selection of that product (or just buy it and return it the next day-ha)

It`s possible that batch is bad. Not sure how old it is or if you can check the manf date but there was definitely an issue with the gross odor in some of them for a while, but it was last year.

I bought a gallon about 2 months ago and it has a very vinegar smell unlike the black bottles I had. I didn`t think much of it until now. Still works the same just not a great smell.

3M has nothing to do with it. 3M and Meguiar`s run independentlyof each other. Contact Meguiar`s and they will take care of you. The number is on the back of the bottle or post on their forum in the customer service area. My gallon smells fine.

I have 2 different gallons about a year apart and both stink and one will make your eyes water if you try spray in the car. have to apply to towel out side car in vented area.

I thought this "vinegar scent" issue was a matter of a bad batch getting released and that Meguiar`s was replacing it for people.

that is accurate.....contact their customer service....they will need a picture of the bottle....and they will replace it for you......I had the same issue, and they were great about it
