Tried Something New (Air Freshener)

[GearHead_1]

I've been playing around with a new air freshener idea recently. I purchased some leather scent air freshener in volume (gallon size), vendor not mentioned. It works quite well when sprayed/misted into the vehicle. I found it actually worked better (lasted longer) when sprayed on a Christmas Tree style freshener and hung in one of the traditional places. I then had the idea to stop by a local shoe store and pick up a scrap of leather and ran a chord through it. I sprayed this leather scrap with the air freshener and it really seemed to hold the scent for a long time. I'm not doing this for a living but the thought occured to me that pros might want to consider this method but have a piece of leather cut/stamped with their logo or business name. It probably wouldn't be cost effective for all cutomers but for some of the better regular clients it might be a good idea. The scent actually lasts for a couple to several weeks when using this method. Next time the same vehicle is detailed just spray it again to freshen it up.

Leather seemed like the obvious choice for this, in fact that's what made me consider this option. I'm sure any scent would work equally well. You would probably have to tell the customer that this is their PERMENANT air freshner so that they didn't pitch it but depending upon what information was on the leather they could always have your "business card" on hand.

Have you contemplated the concept of neutralizing the odor?

We find that is what our clients appreciate the most. The fact that their car smells just like their car.
