Default Getting a child safe top off......PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

Last night.....for the love of god i could not get the top off the bottle of MER polish that i bought the other week!!!!!

2 hours until i gave up and still the top stays on the bloody bottle!!!

I have lifted it, pushed it, prised it, screwed it , turned it, dipped it in hot water...... I even considered running over the bloody thing so the top blows off!!!!

STILL NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew i was in trouble with it within 30 minutes as i setup a little work station in the living room to work on the screw top!!!

it says PUSH down and turn............LIKE FUCK!!!!!!!!

i'm going to give it one more try before i CUT the top off!!!!!! (but the bottle is soooo sweet )

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!! HELLLLPPPPPP

pmsl

Just drill a hole in the bottom and emty the contents into another bottle. If you like the bottle that much you can then keep it as an ornament

Keith............. put down the mutton rag and step away from the bottle.

You clearly are not intelligent enough to attempt such a feat on your own just yet. May I suggest running the motor up to a small, but recognised, valeting firm and stating the following:

"I am dumb, I can't even open my bottle of polish. Please take pity on me and make my car shiney for not alot of money"

Its worth a try............. as is a self-labotomy

Weirdly enough I had the same problem the first time I bought MER polish. I cut a hole in it and emptied it into an old Auto Glym bottle

you have to push down hard while turning - it takes a while to get off.
