Wanna see a grown man cry?

Mr. Clean

The Man Who Knows The Man
Well, I didn't actually cry, but I did move pretty fast as I watched my 32 oz. spray bottle of Spray & Wipe fall off my stool and begin rolling down the driveway and with each turn unscrewing the sprayer :eek: Ended up "washing" the driveway with about 6-8 oz. of S&W :(

We have had 13 (or is it 14?) straight days of 100+ degree days with another expected tomorrow (@104). That coupled with a number of other of life's little setbacks have kept me idled lately and detailing jobs have backed up on me. But tonight I had to give Mrs. Clean's ride a cursory wash and wipedown with S&W and S&W/S&G because it had been targeted by some ticked off avian. Still much work to do, clay/polish/seal, but at least it is relatively clean and the windows are clear once again.
 
As Nelson from the Simpsons would say Ha Ha! Actually I think that problem is covered under the PoorBoys warranty. :yay

Hahaha, I hate when that happens. I had a full bottle of Megs wheel brightener do that to me, twice!

Don't ya!!! I've had it happen that I've dropped a bottle of product and it catches the edge just so and it cracks and leaks out while I scramble to pull out a replacement bottle from my bottle stash.

I knew there was a reason I disliked that Simpson show! :) I don't know, it wasn't in a PB's bottle. :redface:
 
I hate it when that happens. It happens to me a couple times a year. The only thing that I hate more is when I drop a bottle of polish or wax and it breaks open. I clean a lot of snap-on trucks and it never fails, I will drop one off the roof or the latter. I dropped a bottle of DG 501 last week in the drive way and just got around to cleaning it off. Well lets just say it's some real durable stuff because I had to get out the pressure washer out and it still didn't come all the way off.
 
Last week I knocked a jug of APC off the bench and it shattered the cap.
I lost about a pint on the garage floor before I got it picked up. :wall

The good thing is I now have a clean spot on the floor. :D
 
I put my sprayables in an aluminum spray bottle. This way I don't have to worry about the bottle splitting if/when I drop it. The nozzle would still be a weak point, though. It also doesn't help with the gallon jugs, but when decanting, I have a siphon thingie, so I'm not having to handle the jugs too much.
 
I lost half a quart of Spray & Wipe on my way to a job yesterday. It tipped over in my trunk and it all spilled out of the leaky sprayer....happens every time, I lose more than I use
 
Send it to me with pre-paid return postage and I'll tighten the cap for you. Well, actually, my wife will.
