PHOKUS Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Today I did my weekly maintenance wash. I wanted a different scent inside and my vents were just a little dry looking, so I grabbed my In & Out spray and lightly dusted the first vent. The product spattered a little. No matter, I thought to myself. I will just wipe the excess. So I tried to wipe the spatter away. It did not wipe away at all. I have used In & Out spray on interior vents before. Was a change made to the formula at some point in the last year? I tried again. No dice. I grabbed some 50/50 APC and sprayed a bit into a fresh blue plush towel and scrubbed a little. No change at all. It appears the spatter actually chemically bonded with the vent. Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas for removing the spatter?

Rich Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Did you try just plain water? Usually that stuff comes off with water, so I'm not sure why it would do as you describe. Only thing I can think of is if you had used something else on them before and it reacted with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That is odd. Try spraying the IOS on a towel and see if you can wipe away the splatters. Chris@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blcksilv08 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I agree with the wolf, usually something like that will be,"reactivated" with the same product is applied. Leather and interior cleaner straight is a pretty good plastics cleaner and has removed plenty of stains for me in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan@Adams Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Always make sure to thoroughly shake In & Out Spray before use. It's also required to spray it 10-12 inches from the surface for the propellant and other chemicals to mix together correctly. Issues like this are rare but can occur if you spray too closely to certain types of interior plastics from certain manufacturers, hence why I only use it on exterior trim and engine bays now. I stick to Interior Detailer and Leather Conditioner on interiors. We did reformulate In & Out Spray a little over a year ago when it went to the shorter 9oz can, to be VOC compliant, but it has not changed since then.

PHOKUS Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 This can is the same size as my previous cans, so must be the old formula? I will give your suggestions a try. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
