Well besides this product working great, like any good quality glass cleaner... it smells so much better inside the vehicle than typical ammonia based windex does...
BUT... having just paid for this stupid cleaner, the bottle's pump handle broke that same day. The only problem was that I got it at a car show so there is no guarantee or return policy :lol: So I write Meguiars and tell them my problem to see if they'll replace my bottle. I get a responce saying it won't be a problem, and nearly a year later they still haven't replaced it. I love how such good products have such dumbass management behind them...
So much for having all this Meguirs buying attitude i've had all these past year, I might just change my entire line to Mother's when I finish all these up. It'll probaly take two or so years to clean it all up :lol: AnthonyD wanna buy some cleaners, polishes, waxes and soap? :P jk... I spend too much money in Meguiars crap to let them tell me I didn't send them my address in the first place over a year ago, when I did.

All you need to do is remind us. Were busy people.
Anyways, i'm done ranting. If anyone's used this cleaner... it's great, if the pump on it works! Streak free, worked great on chrome too... just like any other glass cleaner... but if ya use it inside the car, it smells the best of all cleaners in it's class. :)
/end rant.

Done and done. But the point is...it shouldn't have broken. When I bought it, it had just hit the market not long before. And... the main point I am trying to get at, is their CS is pretty crappy considering.
Wouldn't you be pissed if you spent all ur cash for cleaning supplies on one mfr, never had a problem and then a bottle literally crumbles in your hand during use? :lol:

actually, it takes a lot more than that to piss me off :P
s**t breaks.... if it's not THAT expensive, and it's a consumable, I'll survive.

I'm a huge Meguiars fan myself. I'm trying to get my hands on the Whole NXT line. I mean if you never had a problem with them before, and you like the stuff, then one "bad" batch of bottles shouldn't discourage you from buying it again. I mean if you buy a dozen bottles and they all crumble, then theres a problem, other than that, MEH....

True...
And I have been a huge Meguiars fan myself... having bragged and raved about their products, and spending lots of money and time with them. So when I got that response, I was pretty annoyed. I might have responded a little rude in his eyes, but... all I said was that it has been a year since I responded to him and that I was wondering if I was still able to get a replacement.

I never tried it but at over 13 bucks a bottle, i don't plan on it anytime soon.
I had a problem with a bottle of their quik detailer last year, emailed greg and he asked for my address and i got a new bottle through Ups i believe a few weeks later. Odd how it's been so long for you and i had prompt, great service :blink:
I also got a tape i asked for with tips and and lots of info on how to use their products etc...
How things change :( Greg was awesome when i dealed with him

Well I just got the replacement bottle today, UPS ground. No detailing video though... I assume my response to Greg the second and/or third time around was not professional whatsoever... so that probably caused the tension.
Long story short, I'm glad they replaced my cleaner and this definitely makes me a happy customer again.

Where did you get your NXT Glass Cleaner? I haven't seen it in the Ottawa area...
I might have to cross the border to get some.

I actually found it at Performance World last year in Toronto. That's why when I got home and tried it only to have the bottle break, I wanted it replaced...
It's a good cleaner, and smells much better than Windex and the like.

I've been using Stoner's Invisible Glass and Eagle One 20/20 for the last year. How does it compare for you?
Glad to see Costco has Invisible Glass back this year! :)

Well I still use this for the interior glass, and Gunk for the exterior glass in between washes.
As for tire shine, i've got a can of the NXT stuff slim posted above, and their older non-aerosol sprays. I haven't yet used any tire shine for the Focus though.
