Products and their Scent

Not at all, the scent has nothing to do with the quality of my work, the nice scent is like the topping on the cake. But man, stuff like mineral spirits they need to put a scent in because it makes me feel loopy

I was trying out a sample of some tire and trim dressing this weekend and it made me think about the scent that manufacturers put in their products. The dressing I was using smelled like mint and I have to say I liked it a lot.

I've used some car washes that smell like chemical and were pretty strong. It was strong enough that I didn't enjoy using it. I've used some products that have an overpowering scent and it can be just as bad as the chemical smell.

Does the scent of a product play a roll in your decision to use it?

No but some smells do give me the munchies :D:D

I love the smell of Klasse AIO and BF batch 23.

Did I miss something, have you released your personal line of products already Garry?

Yes sir I did. About 3 weeks ago.

Your right it is spearmint. Made me think of chewing gum. I think the dressing gave the tires a nice sine. Not too shiny and dried to the touch. I think I like it better than the Black Onyx gel I've been using.

its tuneable. If you like more shine you just add another coat about 10-15 min apart until you're happy with the look. I personally prefer 1 coat.

I only used one coat and I really liked the look. I'll work on pictures and a review next weekend. I've got several things to review.
 
A few of my customers have commented on the scent from Meguiars #40 that I have used on interiors. If the ladies like it I will continue to use it. Kind of a win/win on that product for me.

No. It's not relevant to me.

But, Hydro Seal smells like chocolate raspberry.

Seriously??? Chocolate raspberry? That makes me want to try Hydro seal for that fact right there... Seriously, I have tried certain product simply because they smell so good.
 
Smell is not a decision maker for me at ALL, performace and durability, but if it did, ONR would be at the top of my list followed by DoDo Juice Hard Candy !!
 
The only product I have used so for that has not smelled good is perl. I love this stuff but not a refreshing smell

Does smell play a major roll? NO.. I mean look at Iron X. That smells like crap... But is a product has a nice scent and I have a choice between it and one that has a foul oder I will most likely pick the better smelling product.

Smells like rotten eggs to me and my wife yells at me if I bring it into the laundry room to refill the spray bottle. If there was a comparable product that didn't reek, I would so go with that. Versus FK 425 and Adams Detail Spray, the Adam's product smells great while the 425 doesn't have an odor. Both are great products so it comes down to price, and the FK 425 costs less - therefore I use it.

If you like 425 you might want to try out CG extreme synthetic qd. That smells great and claims to do the same as 425.

Ive used both CG is now where as slick as 425 to me. One of the few CG products that I have tried that Im not a huge fan of, its not bad, just average.

I too smell the product first. Pinnacle shampoo is awesome! Poorboys White diamond, fuzion, DP final gloss, DP tire gel are some really good ones.
 
Lucas Speed wax smells delicious but I'm still returning it; most annoying product as of yet.

I was actually chewing a piece of gum that was losing its flavor when I used the product for the first time, the smell made me think that the gum snapped into cinnamon mode lol
