Hey guys, been a while since I posted. I've changed my name a few times too. Some of you from way back know me as AudiLover, Black Car, (of course women detailers know me as white chocolate) and a few of you know me as the guy who taught Seajays and Tuscarora Dave everything they know.

Anyway, yesterday I had an epiphany. I went to the grocery store and bought the Downy Unstopables (they make your laundry smell better): https://www.google.com/search?q=downy+unstopables&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=h_VQUa-HFsnw0QGG0IHABA&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=653

There are about 1500 little beads in there. I put 30-40 in a 20 ounce bottle with some warm water and a sprayer. I shook it until it dissolved and WOW. It smells great! I highly recommend the fresh scent. The best part is that you can add a few more beads if you want a stronger scent.

These are meant for clothes so you know it won't stain cloth interiors and it doesn't make things sticky like other products that do the same thing. I sprayed it on my hands and it felt like nothing when it dried.

I'm confident I can make at least 20 gallons of this stuff from one $7 container. I can't comment on longevity yet but I'm thinking it will outlast or at least keep up with other products that are 10 times the price. It's so cheap you could even leave a bottle with the customer. Try it out. Even if it's not for you, you can still use it with your laundry the way it was meant to be used.

Thanks for reading guys. Been busy with new place and new job but will try to hop on more often.

Thanks for the tip!

Which scent did you use Lush, Spring, Shimmer or Fresh?
 
I used the Fresh. As for the Zep, great product. They make great stuff in general. Still, can't beat the price of the Unstopables.
 
I'll check it out at my local wally world today. Thanks!
 
FWIW....I'll share my top secret "Keep 'em coming back for more" subtle air freshener.

A light mist of Poorboys S&W on the floor mats and in the vents.
 
Yes Mike you taught me everything I know! lol.

And I just picked some of this stuff up. Fresh scent, smells awesome! We'll see how long it lasts. Just sprayed some in my car.

Did some shopping at Walmart today... Unstoppables were on my list but the shelf was bare :cry: lol

on the same note of air freshener: after waxing my car last week with Vanilla Ice, I put the foam pad under the seat, opened the door today and truck smelled fantastic!

I'm with you. He told me the same thing! 1000 pellets and he put about 20-25 in. He's a liar! I'm calling him out. lol. :nomore:

Hey Dave! Been a long time!

I don't think Mike is a liar, I just think he's confused. If he's teaching me everything I'll know, I don't want to be confused too. C'mon Mike, I'm confused enough over here...I need reliable scent pellet information...:laughing:
 
Microburst by technical concepts, one little spray is all it needas, this is the stuff used in public washrooms, I also use it in my home.
Using mandarin oranges right now
 
Sounds interesting! How do you think this would work on a smokey interior?
 
CarPro So2 Pure. Eliminates odors permanently and leaves no scent. A little goes a long way!
 
Meguiar's Odor Eliminator.

:idea:For a really bad smelling vehicle interior, you might try Ozium; eliminates smoke odor, hospitals use it, and mortuaries use Ozium to get rid of dead body odor.
 
my customers are loving this stuff. I'm about to make another batch and I haven't even made a dent in the Unstoppables bottle.

I'm going to start making small spray bottles of it and giving it away with my business card.

Dave, do me a favor...count out the number of pellets and get back to me. It's the least you can do for all the time I spent on the phone with you telling you how to get a hologram free finish with a rotary.
