Hello all,
Recently I purchased the Poorboy's World Air Freshener 32 oz. - Leather from Autogeek.net. Leather has a special scent that is usually a symbol of clean and luxury car. I believe that many members here are interested in giving the car interior a pleasant leather smell. So I decided to share my experience with this product. This is my first review on auto detailing products, comments are much appreciated.
NOTE: Scent is something very subjective. I work as a part-time fashion photographer and therefore I come across a lot of leather products from shoes to handbags etc. Besides I have experience with Japanese, German, British, Swedish, American cars with leather interior. Dfferent leather can smell very different.
Product description (from Autogeek.net):
Product outlook and packaging:
Round cylindrical plastic bottle with cap. The bottle is high quality plastic that feel very solid. Come with a plastic sprayer free of charge. It is pale yellow in color and have a watery consistency.
This is how it compare with a can of 330ml soft drink in size.
The product description is easy to understand even for non-native English speakers like me.
Application:
I transferred 1oz (30ml) of the product into a brand new spray bottle.
I sprayed the product into a small MF towel and apply it on the leather interior of my Nissan Fuga. Allowed the product to air dry on leather seats.
* The leather seats have been cleaned with Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Cleaner/Conditioner spray 2 weeks ago. They are clean and have no particular smell (which implies I cannot test if the product can eliminate odour or not).
Scent / appearance:
The product has a very very faint smell of chemicals, both in bottle or applied. I can hardly notice any scent in my car after application. I cannot exactly tell what it smells like. It is not an unpleasant smell as it is so faint, but thats definitely not anything close to the scent of a new and clean leather interior.
It does not change the appearance/feel of the leather.
Conclusion:
Poorboy's World make some very good products at an affordable price. I like their Natty's paste waxes. But from my personal experience, the Leather Air Freshener is definitely a disappointing product from PB's. It cannot do what they claim on the product description. I spent $12 and expensive international shipping for a 32oz plastic bottle and sprayer. In fact, if possible I would like to return the product, but too bad I do not have any friends going to USA soon.
I hope you found this review to be useful. Comments are welcomed. If there is a way that I can improve the performance of this product, please let me know!
Overall rating:
1/10 (1 for high quality plastic bottle and good packaging)
