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

Good:



Griot's Speed Shine - probably my favorite, although I don't know what it is exactly

Griot's Car Wash

Griot's Spray on Wax (either the white life savers or Runts, not quite sure)

Griot's Best of Show Wax (peanut butter?)

Zaino Z8

Zaino Z7

Zaino ZPC (this one makes me want summer back)

NXT car wash and waxes

DACP (call me crazy)

Final Inspection

Last Touch

NXT glass cleaner

Natty's Blue

EX-P

S&W !!!

wheel sealant

SS&S

S&G (smells good, works bad)

SSR1

SSR2.5

Natural Look (another one of my favorites)

Trim Restore

Sonus AS

XMT line

S100 (in that crayon sort of way)

Souveran

Sig Series I and II

Adam's VRT (one of my favorites)

WG Detail Spritz

One Grand Show Off





Bad:

P21S car wash (supposed to smell like apples I guess, but mine smells like ethanol)

ONR (just plain stinks)

Klasse SG

FK1 almost everything except 425
 
Besides the stuff that everyone seems to like, I like Meg's #5 and #7, if only for the Way-back Machine effect (first exposed to them in childhood).



Oddly enough, I really *like* the smell of 1Z polishes and Collinite Waxes :nixweiss Like Autoglym's SRP, these too somehow give me that old-timey good feeling. Sheesh, I'm too young to be (pardon the pun :o ) waxing nostalgic like this...



I still have some of the orginal VM, to me it smells like more than just vanilla..almost like there's a whiff of mil-spec cosmoline in it, another Way-Back smell that I enjoy.

Indeed! You haven't lived 'til you've experienced it first hand. :grinno: It's bordering on erotic (close eyes, picture scantily clad females on a hot beach :) )



Some of the Poorboys products are quite pleasant.



I always enjoyed the Pinnacle Paste Glaz "experience".



Odd: FK's wheel cleaner has a distinctive lime odor and a color to match!

Um, Justin we'll just go ahead and take your word for this :LOLOL



I really like the Sonus line of polishes. They all smell good and tropical.



While most seem to like AW I am not pleasantly pleased with it but it's not bad.



Meguiars quick interior detail I didn't like at first but it grew on me after time.
 
Hm..



Good smelling:

Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel-Very nice grape smell

Meguiars ColorX-Not sure what smell it is, but it's not too bad

Mothers Showtime QD-Very nice cinnamon

Simple Green-Can't describe the smell, not bad at all



Weird smelling ones:

Collinite 476S-Very very strong solvent smell, I'm always afraid I'll get high on it :o

Long Haul Truck Gloss-A bad attempt to make a good smell, weird, overscented QD. Performance is okay, though.
 
This is an old post, but having just gotten some new stuff, I had to post:

Chemical Guys Speed Wipe smells like a strawberry milkshake, awesome stuff.

FK1 425, smells just like bubblegum, and man does it leave a great shine!

Mothers Showtime Instant Detailer, cinnamon candy

Duragloss Carwash, smells like cherry cough syrup. Also one of the slickest washes I've used. Love it!

Megs Interior QD, can't put my finger on it, but leaves the interior clean and fresh. Not perfumy.

Just got some Poorboys Natty Blue, smells just like bubblegum!

PB S&W smells like apple, and S&G smells like lime, Natural Look smells like cherry candy.

Quikshine smells like citrus, maybe 7Up.

Aquawax smells a little like pina colada and chemicals.

Sonus detail sprits smells like solvent, or maybe gun oil.
 
Meg's last touch detailer smells like coconut haha.

Meg's HyperDressing smells like grape!



Meg's hotshine tire spray almost made me suffocate.



thats about it. haha.
 
I like:

Mothers CA gold QD spray - cinnamon

Poorboys Spray and wipe - can't put a finger on what it smells like, but it smells "clean" if that makes any sense

Megs Gold class wash soap - same as above

Poorboys Nattys Blue - of course, bubble gum

Poorboys ssr1 - great smelling, I wanted to put some on my taco instead of the sauce taco bell gives you!

P21s - crayons?

AquaWax - Pina colada or something close to it, right?



I don't like:



Collinite - both the paste and liquid wax smell like chemicals

ONR - same as above
