At the risk of getting a thousand flames of fury from all my fellow Autopians...
When I purchased my current car last year, the dealer detailed the car before I took delivery, as they often do. While it was of the usual quality, I admit I really liked the smell of whatever interior product they used. It was pretty fresh, not too strong and lasted about two weeks. I can`t really describe the smell and tried to figure out what it was. I called the dealer, who says they use "Teph Seal" which is a company responsible for a lot of those "detail" jobs at dealers across the company. I asked them and they use Simoniz, which I assume is about as good as Turtle Wax, and not considered a high quality brand. Looking on THEIR website, the only thing I can figure out is that it is their carpet and upholstery cleaner, since everything else for the interior was rubber or leather dressing.
So has anyone used this stuff? I feel very awkward in admitting that I actually liked something that came out of a dealer/chain/cheap product.
I don`t like heavily perfumed scents, and the only things I`ve liked previously have been the old Megs quick interior detailer, and 3D odor eliminator (which is nice but a bit on the sweet side)
