If you were a kid in the 1970s, you will remember the useless toy called "Slime" - a bright green concoction that while cool-to-the-touch, felt like holding the world's largest ball of snot. It was packaged in a plastic trash can and lid that kept the product moist and fresh. While the color has changed, the smell has not. I had an immediate flashback to the 1970s when opening the container, and a tactile flashback when handling the bright orange goo.Like the green slime of the 70s, it doesn't keep its looks for long. Back when your slime went bad, you threw it out and hoped mom would buy you more. The genius of Splat is that you take that gunk-acquiring goo to pick up stuff you can't.It will pick up gunk on its own, but it shouldn't be the only thing you use to clean your car, or you will do a mediocre job and exhaust all uses of the Splat. The description of "50 uses" is a bit vague, but it does underscore that its useful lifespan is not 'forever.'I live out in the country and my car gets dusty - fast. I've got two dogs that shed and I've been known to eat in my car on more than one occasion. Yesterday, I did a long-overdue detailing on the inside of my car. I took out the floor mats, vacuumed the entire car and cleaned the dash with an all-purpose cleaner and paper towels. Once everything was all spic-n-span, the nooks and crannies still gave my car the 'yuck' look with the stray dog hairs, road grit and crumbs sticking in places that were visible, but inaccessible to mere mortals. I grabbed the ball of splat and pushed it into the crannies and rolled it out and voila! All the debris was gone! In short order, the bright orange splat was mostly grey after I ran the ball of goo through the louvres of the air conditioner vents, all the buttons around the radio and the slot-loading area of the CD player. Now I understand how dealerships get a used car looking showroom fresh... because my 4 year old car looks brand new inside... and smells fresh, too. All the gunk in those nooks & crannies holds bacteria and hence, odor. Getting rid of all that junk makes my car look as good as it did when I drove it off the lot years ago.I discovered that pushing and pulling and/or rolling is the best way to go. You don't want to use a 'scrubbing' motion or grind the Splat, or pieces will break off instead of grabbing the gunk - the gunk will grab the splat. After I got the knack of it - cleaning when by in short order. If you like a well detailed car and are eager to get to the crumbs and dust particles in your floor shift area, around your hand brake, around your window controls, etc., this is the stuff for you. I highly recommend Splat.
