Drivepur

Looks to be the same as CarPro sO2pure - stores that sell CQuartz should have it. Its the same Titanium Oxide purification idea and also a great product.
 
I checked out the carpro stuff and the drivepur is actually cheaper. Theres a product called oxititan as well but is more expensive too. I ended up buying a few of the 32oz bottles of each. Would love to be able to afford the $500 sprayer, but thats not in the cards right now.
 
I have used both Auto Vaccine and DrivePur. I like drivepur better, however the TiO2 has to be exposed to sunlight to continue to work. I had to hit a car twice and found out they store it underground when not in use, the smoke smell came back (or didn't ever get removed) because the TiO2 has got to be exposed to sunlight. My true opinion is still out as for the ability to remove smoke smells. So my question is does the TiO2 just keep activating and "covering" the smoke or does it truly remove it. I guess the test would be to leave the car in sunlight for 1 week, and then store it out of sunlight for a week and see?

Greg,



Did you spray with the Smok first? I haven't used the product yet but from what I understand that product removes the smell and the Prevnt gets rid of the smell when they smoke again.

Yes myself and the rep for DrivePur did this together.

I don't think it needs to sit in the sun, just anywhere natural light will hit it. As in not underground in a dark garage. I think even if it's in the shade enough light will hit it. But some input on this from DrivePur would be great.

Eh, that'd still be a problem for me...too many tree-droppings and stuff like that, and very little light gets through the garage windows.
 
To my knowledge...Limited it may be lol, but the way the drivepur system works w/ the smok, shock, and prevent is the smok & shok will permanetly remove the odors while prevent in conjunction w/ sunlight will work to prevent any new odors from forming.



I used the sonic fogger on a family members car as a test before I use it on my clients vehicles and it has been abt a week now and there hasnt been a trace of smoke smell since. I ran the fogger, put the a/c on 72* and recirculated the air for 5 min w/ each chemical and after that there was just the clean smell, not really a way to describe it other than just smelled clean. The car is their daily driver so it does get sun but still no sign of the smoke smell returning.

Wonder how (dark) window tints factor in to the sunlight exposure :think:

Well, even standard automotive glass has UV blockers in it, so I would assume that fairly minimal sunlight would be needed. The front windshield on it's own probably allowes enough inside the vehicle.
 
The Drive Pur does not need UV to eliminate odors, but the UV reactivates the final step to kill bacteria and odors. This keeps the product working, but the first 3 steps should eliminate any odors in the car.

Just got our Driverpur stuff in a couple days ago, we're looking forward to trying it out. I figure if it works half as good as John is making it out to be; it'll be worth the cost.

How about a UV curing light?

Hmmm...that might work great. Heh heh, I'd sure be investing a lot in this little issue though :think:



But for somebody in a more, uhm...normal situation it could be just the trick, never saw that before.
 
So my client returned their car for a maintance wash. This client we did the drivepur system using the sonic fogger a couple weeks ago and the client advised they smoked in the car just as they normally would and they were amazed how there was no signs of any smoke scent. I went inside to confirm and sure enough there was no trace of any smoke smell. I turned on the a/c to see if I could smell anyting from the vents and nothing. So far from what I can tell the Prevent stage of the system is working as advertised!! I'm more impressed w/ this system everytime we use it.
 
Two things - the smok product has to come in contact with the tar. Tar is the residue left behind from smoking in the car or home... Smok changes the chemistry of tar... Another helpful tip is to treat the vehicle before detailing the interior... On an extremly heavy smoker - wipe the headliner with a damp microfiber towel. You'll be amazed at whats pulled out.



The differnce between our TiO2 product and the others is the binder that bonds our product to the plastic, leather and glass - The others are simply spraying tio2 and the nano size particles embed themselves into the fabric only.



Prevnt needs very little sunlight....the windshield produces more than enough light... For the car stored in the basement - a simple full spectrum bulb or blacklight bulb is all thats needed... You need the UV-A spectrum to work.



If you treated an odor problem or smoker and still have an odor - its not the product its the application that failed.... the fogger is the best application.
 
CarPro So2 - doesnt have an effective binder - for bonding... They use Sio2 Sodium Silicate as a binder. Tio2 breaks down Sio2 and will only last a few weeks.

Thanks for posting that (specific) info about what light is required.
 
I sent an email to request some info 3 weeks ago and still have not got a reply. To bad if a product is that good that nobody contacts a potential buyer after this amount of time goes by. IMO
