Let`s get serious...Let`s discuss product smells

[imported_MCA]

I was recently detailing the cars when I started to think about the smells of the products that I use. What products do you guys really like the smell of...on the other hand, what products have repulsing ones. I`ll go ahead start with a couple of my winners and losers (all in good fun :grinno: )



Like:

Poorboy`s SS&S - very nice apple smell

Pinnacle Souveran - can`t pinpoint the exact smell but seems to be a blend of coconut and fruit

Natty`s Blue - very nice bubble gum smell



Dislike:

Zaino Z-1 (deep acrid smell that lingers - Zaino is known for durability..so why not its smell :) )

Collinite 476 - strong solvent smell

Any acid-based wheel cleaner - I can feel my nose begin to melt anytime I accidentally take a whiff

[Joshua312]

Never smelled Z1 before but every other product I have used from Zaino smells great. Same goes for Duragloss.



I dont like the smell of any Meg`s products

[imported_paradigm]

favorites: zaino and AW



nasty: acid based tire cleaners :)

NB smells pretty nice. I tried AW for the first time today, and it reminded me of glue I used to use back in elementary school :nixweiss It was also a very disappointing experience, but that`s a little OT...



DP Spray sealant, while at first I wasn`t sure if I liked the smell, I`ve come to like the funky chemical scent. Hmm... I like the smell of Meg`s QID, but I don`t know if there`s a name for it. I smell it in nearly every car in India when I go there, so I really don`t know what it is.



Plus, although I used to hate it, I suddenly found myself liking the caustic scent of EO Wheel/Tire Cleaner today. Am I getting hooked on detailing products? :nervous:



That`s about it I suppose.

OCW is my favortie. I think it is cinnamon. Smells like warm pie. I use it on my wheels and all of my cabinets just to make the garage smell nice.

Never smelled Z1 before but every other product I have used from Zaino smells great.



Z1 is the only one that I really don`t care for...Z2 is very pleasant



Another product that I really don`t like the smell of is ONR. Makes me chuckle thinking how a bad ONR smells yet it performs extremely well.

[Nuke33]

I dont like the smell of Long Haul Products

The smell of Z-10 is my favorite (leather in a bottle).

Simple Green smells like wet dog in a bottle.
