Ease: Easy
Price: currently listed at $10 for 5oz. (7/26/2013)
Why?
Simple... my car is a 97 Subaru Impreza. That's 17 years old. 200K miles. Lots of road trips. Lots of fast food. Lots of smelly people. I don't notice it, but I am pretty positive it smells.
About the Product:
HD Odor Eliminator is an odor product. It's pretty much an odor fogging product of sorts that you set off in your car or in a room, and let it work its magic. The product is packaged in a 5oz aerosol can with a trigger that locks in place to release the product.
Directions:
Pretty straight forward. Point the top of the can in a direction that isn't your face. Lock the trigger in place. Place it in your car on top of a folded paper bag, close the door, and let it run its magic.
Only thing is that I don't think you need to run the full can in order to get a desired effect. I ran the fogger about 3 or 4 minutes and that seemed to suffice. Maybe for a bigger car, you might need to run it a little longer, but for my sports compact, 3 or 4 minutes was more than plenty.
I also don't think it's a bad idea to apply the product at night. Set off the fogger before you go to bed, seal the car up (by closing all the doors and rolling up the windows), and let it works its magic overnight. Just open your windows half an hour before you use the car in the morning.
My thoughts on the product:
I can't really compare the product to any others, but from a completely noob perspective, it was super easy to use. My only concern is that I don't like to waste product. Unfortunately, there are no directions on how much or how little to use. Like I mentioned before, I just ended up using the fogger for about 3 or 4 minutes max to get the desired effect. Even in some sense, I think it might have been a little excessive. Maybe 2-3 minutes may have been enough.
Other notes... I think it is the can I got, but I had trouble locking the trigger down. I found out you need to press down and hold for a few seconds before it locks. Unlocking the trigger is pretty easy. Just snap it out of the lock position and the fogging will stop.
It's been about 5 days and the fresh scent still seems to be pretty evident. I had a few friends ride with me and they did notice the new scent, and didn't say anything negative about it. I guess it works.
Overall, the product seems to be working out just fine. I think it is a good product. Application was easy. Results were evident. I don't think you can go wrong with this product. I think a can could easily allow you 2 car worth of applications. Possibly even 3. I think what may be helpful for the direction is a rough idea of how much to use for what size vehicle.
At a $10 price point, I think a single application doesn't present very good value. But if you can get 2 or 3 applications from a can, I definitely think the Odor Remover presents a great value.
