What's the nastiest smelling product you have ever used?

[Jazz95]

I hate the smell of Meguiar's Paint Cleaner...Westley's Bleach White makes me cough...and, oh yeah...



The rubber gloves that I wear while detailing...:down



Jarrad

I opened a bottle of AutoGlym Glass Polish a few days ago, YUCK! Don't lite a match near this stuff, it smells like a huge bottle of solvents. Mineral spirits in particular. :down

The two things that come to mind are both glass products.



1) Pro C-27-Q Glass Polish;

2) Einszett Glass Cleaner. Works great, but the smell requires the car to aired out.



Two more:

3) P21s wheel cleaner gel formula. Not the worst, but does not smell like pina colades either.

4) Meguiars Medallion Paint Cleaner

...Westley's Bleach White makes me cough...Jarrad

Me too on that one... plus, if you use Simple Green straight out of the bottle, it makes me cough as well..

You guys already nailed my top 10 list. AIO smells the worst I think. There isn't anything I put on the outside of my car that smells worse than when you buff off AIO in the sun or any kind of heat. The original Platinum smelled pretty bad too. I think Lexol takes the cake. It smells like...well, I've already used that comparison once this month so I'll have to save it. Anyway, it smells baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Yeeeaah You did...



Smells like goats urine or something

All Einszett products work well but smell like hell. AIO does smell bad, but it has nothing on Einszeets Glanz wax.

I apply clear coats & Two Pak Polyurethane for a living.



All the stuff you guys use smell like roses to me.



But for the best smell of all, I love the smell of Swissol. It smells like Bubble gum.



I have ordered some Pinnacle Souveran to do a side by side test.



From what I have been hearing, My money is on the Swissol:scared

 

[Mirror]

Oh Yeah, the bad smell of the AIO is probably because its water based. The water in most water based products usually goes rotten.



Only a problem if your thinking of drinking the stuff.:bounce

 

[andrew.]

AutoGlym Glass Polish without a doubt.



Plexus is pretty bad as well.

My old gym socks that I use to detail my rims! Last time I threw them in the garbage the city called the Haz Mat team to investigate.

.....which begs the question, How do you know?

 

[Bobby G]

Lexol Vinylex... the stuff makes me gag.

 

[GP Infinity]

but, do these products leave any lingering odor? also, most products have some kind of equal out there.. do you still use the stinky ones? or do you move on to something else?

 

[imported_Intermezzo]

Black Opal.



Einszett Wax.... It's the only product I've ever tried that is difficult to tolerate and literally have to hold my breath at times when applying.



I actually like the smell of AIO. Don't mind SG either.

Mothers quick shine....reminds me of medicine I took when I was a kid....nasty!

Hmm, I can't say I find AIO objectionable, and AG Glass Polish smells okay from a distance (apples)....

 

[atldave]

Vinylex - someone recommended this to me when I was using Armor All. I liked the low gloss shine, but I couldn't drive the car with the windows up it stunk so bad. I remember driving to work with a nasty hangover one day and the smell almost made me throw up. I used up that bottle and went back to Armor All until I discovered 303 on Autopia.
