First I want to say thank you to AG for picking myself and two others to review The DP Odor Eliminator product :dblthumb2:.
To my surprise the package arrived with all 5 scents which included Tropical Breeze, Cinnamon Stick, Cool Mint Chocolate, Just Detailed and French Vanilla. I was only expecting one.
The other 2 gentlemen have already written their reviews of these products and have the instructions on how to use them within their reviews :
http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/34592-dp-odor-eliminator-review.html (only one I can find)
I chose to do a more working review which is why it has taken as long as it has for me to review.
Experiment 1 :
Deodorization on an Enterprise Rental Car. Heavy oil smell as if oil had been spilled in vehicle or the vehicle was in a shop for a month. After steaming the vehicle there was still a very slight odor left behind. So I sprayed Just Detailed in the vents and throughout the vehicle (using very little product I must add) and went on with my day. I called back about a week later and the manager of that branch stated that the smell was still gone. A + there.
Experiment 2 :
Private Deodorization Job on a newly purchased used Jeep Cherokee. I was called to remove a very heavy smoke smell. I steamed every inch of the vehicle and detailed thoroughly. No Odor Eliminator was used at that point. I get a call back a couple of days later and the customer says that the smell was still there. I show up the next day and used the Tropical Breeze Fogging function. I placed the can in the vehicle, rolled up all windows and set to fog. I came back 2 hours later and opened all windows and doors to let air out. The smell was surprisingly not overwhelming (reiterated by the customer). I called back 3 days later and she said the smell is completely gone. I now have a full detail on her other ride on Tuesday this week
. A +
Experiment 3 :
Enterprise Rental Car. Customer left fish in the trunk for 2 consecutive days. This was by far the ultimate test for the DP Odor Eliminators! I steamed and steamed and steamed this ride and there was still a ridonkulous nasty odor left behind. So I decided to fog it with the rest of the Just Detailed. I call the next morning and the smell was still there. I cannot give this product a bad remark on this vehicle though cause it was definitely the worse of the worse odor jobs one can get lol! I would like to say a big thank you to Nick from AG though cause I called him to see if there was anything else I could try..... Ms. Penny said he was on the phone..... but he called me back instantly. Good stuff Nick - preciate the speedy response and help :dblthumb2:.
The other 3 products have more of a unique smell that I would not put in a customer's vehicle unless requested. But I can say that I have them throughout my home and spritz them here and there.
Pros :
Fogging Function is Awesome - works well!!!
Seems one can could last a while with only a spritz here and there.
Great labeling (except for the typo on the back lol) - which gives a professional appearance when asking the customer which scent they would like.
Cons :
When using the fogging function, it does leave some liquid drip residue in close by areas of the interior (easily cleaned and shined though). Did scare me at first though lol.
Cant think of any other - its an odor eliminator and that is what it did :dblthumb2:
