Splat SPLAT-AC-3J Orange Auto-Clean Cleaning Putty - 3 oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is orange and kind of "icky"- seems like something a 5 year old would think is cool. If you stepped on it in the dark, you'd scream.
But the purpose of the stuff is to get dust and dirt out of small places. It seems to do that well. I tried it on a couple spots on my car that always seem to gather dirt but resist cleaning- such as radio buttons, the lips around buttons and controls, crevices in the trim panels, etc. In every case it seemed to get most of the dust out, although it seemed to have trouble with larger pieces of dirt. It does not work very well on anything that is "stuck", since it doesn't seem to have a whole lot of sticky attraction.
It never seemed to leave any residue on any of the surfaces in the car-although I never tried it on glass or clear plastic where a residue might be more visible.
I also tried it on my cell phone-which seems to have all sorts of places to collect dust. It did a reasonable job on the dust, but I did notice small pieces of the goo breaking off, especially around the buttons. These came off pretty easy, but you would hope this wouldn't happen. Based on that, I was afraid to try it on my laptop keyboard-something I was hoping it would be suited for.
Is it the cure-all solution to all your tight-space cleaning needs? No, I don't think so. But in 5 minutes it did make a noticeable improvement on my "just cleaned" dashboard. It works great on dust, not quite as good on larger particles. It did "refresh" my cell phone and got rid of some dust that has been there for quite a while.
It does come in a jar with a tight seal, so it should last between uses...unless your 5-year-old finds it. I do hope it is as non-toxic as advertised, because it certainly will be attractive to kids.
While I don't see a residue, I would certainly not trust it on photo lenses or sensors.
