and is there really a secret ingredient that leaves a protective film....lol
Cobb?
I can already see the film forming in Jimmy's eyes.I am not sure how I missed this post. I think it comes from the petri dish test where people would pour in the concentrate and let it dry. One product would readily fracture and the other bonded to the petri dish. Wrong conclusions resulted from this test which I think resulted in the terms crystal and film former. My own tests concluded that one surfactant added to the supposed "film former" made it fracture like a crystal. After that test, I concluded that the difference was used for marketing purposes and was not a characteristic of the polymer but of the formula with the appropriate surfactant. Personally i have never seen any performance advantages or differences in re-soil. Both types can create good products, and should be evaluated on the solids in the formula. In short, this is much ado about no real differences, except for marketing.
We are getting closer to you saying that both film former and crystalizing formulas can be both good products, which I have been saying for years. In the early days I did scores of lab and side by side cleaning tests with your product and our product. I never saw any real difference between cleaning and soil resistance. The only difference was the vivid memories of spraying your product and running away immediately because of the obnoxious odor of tea tree oil. I believe and hope you have moved away from tea tree oil. As I write this my olfactory memory is bringing this egregious odor back to the front of my mind. Time to end the post and forget the memories.
