Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_01: Good day, everybody.
- 0:01SPEAKER_01: I am Connor with Honor.
- 0:02SPEAKER_01: I do have a very good friend of mine on the show that's going to talk about Takeoff Adhesive Remover, a product that he has been working on and finally has out there for the public.
- 0:12SPEAKER_01: And I want him to walk through the steps and also talk to you about his product.
- 0:17SPEAKER_01: Now, I have to say that I do know this gentleman pretty well because I'm in a gym environment with him at the gym we go to.
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: I've known him for a couple of years now, and I watch him push around that iron like it's weightless.
- 0:31SPEAKER_01: So I'll have him talk about that as well after he introduces himself.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: Hi, everybody.
- 0:36SPEAKER_00: Hi, Connor.
- 0:37SPEAKER_00: My name is Aike Jinduwaka.
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: And uh yes, like Connor said, we see each other at the gym.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: Um gym to me is a form of therapy, something I try to do uh five to six days a week, and I enjoy um, you know, coming off of COVID and just trying to get back in shape.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: That's kind of my uh routine now.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: But uh I want to thank you, Connor, for having me here.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: I wanted to talk to you guys about this amazing product called Takeoff Adhesive Remover.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: Uh, this product is something that we see to be the next WD40.
- 1:19SPEAKER_00: Uh, something that you need to have in your toolbox around the house, just because you never know what you're gonna need it for.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: Uh, the product came as a result of just uh a few years of research and trying to develop an adhesive remover that works.
- 1:40SPEAKER_00: Uh, there are some legacy brands out there that you know claim to do certain things, but when people use it, they they don't see those claims and they use it.
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: So it it came because this product came about because uh we wanted to make something that not only is non-toxic that has multi-purpose application, but is also user-friendly.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: Uh so take off in essence is a multi-purpose adhesive remover and degreaser.
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: Are there are there other differences like from the current products that are on the market?
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: Because I've seen, you know, with the different stores, you know, different things that say, oh, we take off everything, we remove everything.
- 2:35SPEAKER_01: What's what's this what would my audience find special about your product above the other ones?
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: Okay, first of all, the multi-purpose application is key, and I will explain that.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: Uh what we've done is we initially wanted it to be just an adhesive remover.
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: Uh, you put it on anything that has been that has adhesive and you remove it, but we found that that it has more application.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: And uh I'll I'll get to those.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: But in addition to that, the product has been tested by a company called InfoTex.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: It's a California-based company.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: They uh primary uh focus is to test products for toxicity because this is important to us.
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: Uh, some of the legacy brands, like the Gugon or Goo Goof, they tend to be toxic.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: They have a lot of chemicals in it.
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: Uh, but we wanted to make sure that whatever we're putting out there, that users will not feel threatened by it.
- 3:47SPEAKER_00: They can use it in any environment.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: And uh, so that's really what sets us apart.
- 3:54SPEAKER_00: Um, in addition to that, our product is efficient, and by efficient, is it does what it's supposed to do within a small period of time.
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: Uh, what we've said is just apply it, let's let a minute go and then apply it again, then rub and remove the residue.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: It's not only efficient, it's effective.
- 4:21SPEAKER_00: There's nothing like buying a product that claims it does something and you actually see it do that.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of what has set us apart from some of the other companies and and brands.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: Can you can you use it on like you could use it on all surfaces or majority of the surfaces?
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: Um, some of the places where we've successfully tested this product is the hood of the urban stove at home, and this is for mums.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: If you have that, if you find that greasy stuff on the hood of your stove, this product will help remove it.
- 5:03SPEAKER_00: If you have pine tree sap on your car, on any of your furniture, this is a great product for it.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: Um, if you have ghosting, teachers, this is where uh uh teachers come in.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: If you write on your dry erase board and wipe things off and you still see ghosting on your board, this product is great for that.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: Um, this product would remove any gooey uh sticky thing, gum on the carpet.
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: This is a great product for it.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: As a matter of fact, some of the school districts within uh my jurisdiction, my area, uh actually buy this product and give it to their janitorial staff to use to remove gum from uh classroom from so many other places.
- 5:54SPEAKER_00: So we have a diverse uh group of people that use this product.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: It's a great product for the automobile industry.
- 6:02SPEAKER_00: Uh we we're actually in a few uh auto parts stores uh where people can buy this and then use it.
- 6:12SPEAKER_01: How many how many SKUs or SKUs do you currently offer for the product?
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: Uh we currently have I would say six of them right now, and um those six are divided into two parts.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: There are the wipes, uh which I we have here.
- 6:33SPEAKER_00: They come in a box of six, and there's also another that comes in a box of uh 25.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: Um, these are great and convenient.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: You can put it in your pocket, you can carry it in your purse anywhere.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: As a matter of fact, I use these wipes judiciously.
- 6:56SPEAKER_00: Um I anyone that knows me knows that I I love shoes because growing up in Africa, I I didn't have enough resources to uh buy shoes whenever I wanted them.
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: And playing basketball, it was difficult.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: So when I came to America and found that that I can buy these items that I didn't have in Africa, it was I was just hooked.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: So I by the way, let me let me let me jump in real quick.
- 7:28SPEAKER_01: The camera is very misleading.
- 7:30SPEAKER_01: I look like I'm massive, but in actuality, I think you're about as tall as a mountain.
- 7:35SPEAKER_01: I think.
- 7:35SPEAKER_01: Oh, you're good.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, I about I'm about six foot six, so uh let me just leave it at that.
- 7:48SPEAKER_01: But uh going back and your shoulders are also about six foot six, I think.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: So height and width, so you got it all.
- 7:56SPEAKER_00: So that's what we have for the wipes, and I will do a demonstration eventually uh towards the end.
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: We have a four-ounce bottle right here.
- 8:08SPEAKER_00: We have also uh a two-ounce bottle, and these have spray caps, these are great for large surface area, and then we have a one-ounce bottle that comes in a blister, and this has um it has an insert, a drip insert for a small surface area.
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: If you don't want the product getting all over, this is the right uh skew to get, and then we also carried a gallon, but I don't have it here because it was gonna take up a lot of space.
- 8:45SPEAKER_00: So we wanted to make sure that our users have different ways to experience this product, whether they do it through just using the wipes, which they can buy in a pack of six or 25, or they want to get the solution, which they can get in a four ounce, uh two ounce, and the one ounce.
- 9:10SPEAKER_01: But some of the I was just gonna say, I'm I'm judging from the wipes that it's it's friendly to your skin.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: It's friendly, it's friendly to your skin, but you know, just like anything, uh, we always suggest if to be safe, just wear a glove.
- 9:30SPEAKER_00: I don't use a glove when I use it because I follow the instructions that are recommended on the product.
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: Basically, what I do is I use it and I wash my hands and I'm fine.
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: But the idea is that we wanted the wipes to be something that you can just slip in your pocket, it's travel safe.
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: Um uh the solutions, those are ones that we hope you know you can buy and put in a toolbox if you need uh more usage of the product.
- 10:05SPEAKER_01: Sure.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Um, so that's kind of that's those are the skills we currently carry.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: We are working on what we call the ultimate starter kit that will have the two ounce, the one ounce drip, uh, a couple of wipes in there, but it will also have something called a scraper for hard-to-read surfaces because there's stuff that substrates that are hard to remove that you might need a scraper to just jimmy a little bit before applying this product to completely remove that.
- 10:38SPEAKER_01: Like so that's called the ultimate starter kit.
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: Ultimate starter kit, yeah.
- 10:42SPEAKER_00: It's called take off ultimate starter kit that will be coming up next year, early next year.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: Um, it also has two gloves in there, just you know, and as an added measure for those who might be concerned about the product getting on their skin.
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: But um, it's a great product.
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: One of the things that I forgot to mention is, ladies, if you use candles a lot, and for instance, you have some candle wax on your dresser, this is a great product.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: You use the uh scraper to just jimmy a little bit of the uh the wax, apply this product, let it sit for a minute, and then use the wipe to remove whatever is left from it.
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: Um, it's not a product that shifts debris all over, but it's guaranteed to dissolve into the substrate, making it easier to remove.
- 11:38SPEAKER_01: Very nice.
- 11:40unknown: Yeah.
- 11:41SPEAKER_01: What uh let me ask you this.
- 11:42SPEAKER_01: As far as you know, I'm sure you have a future objective, you know, two to five years from now, before you get into the demonstration, what what's your vision of this product?
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: We uh want this product to be a household product.
- 11:56SPEAKER_00: Like I said, uh it it should we look at it in this in a sense of a W D40 that people buy.
- 12:05SPEAKER_00: Um and our goal is to just continue to grow the product.
- 12:13SPEAKER_00: Right now, um we because of uh a lot of limitation due to COVID and it being a new product, we are not able to be in as many stores as we would love to be.
- 12:29SPEAKER_00: But we're in a few stores, and I I hopefully later can talk to you about that.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: But this is a product that we hope in the next two to five years to be a household product uh that could uh uh uh be a substitute for some of the legacy brands that we you hear about that I've mentioned also.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: As far as online, with if people are interested in purchasing the product, before you get into the demonstration, where where would that be?
- 12:58SPEAKER_01: Is there a website and so?
- 13:00SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 13:00SPEAKER_00: Uh you can get more information about this product at www.takeoffwipe.com.
- 13:10SPEAKER_00: That's our official website.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: Uh, we don't sell anything there, it's just a place to get information.
- 13:18SPEAKER_00: But we we have partners like the container store.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: Uh they have this product in all of their brick and mortar stores.
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: So when you go into any container store, you'll find takeoff adhesive remover there.
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: Uh, we have partnered with a few other local stores in Southern California, like the 3D Car Care is a huge uh auto parts store.
- 13:45SPEAKER_00: We've partnered with them.
- 13:47SPEAKER_00: We've also partnered with the Crown Ace Hardware, the Crown Ace, not the Ace Hardware itself, but the Crown Ace division of Ace Hardware.
- 13:57SPEAKER_00: And they have this product in their stores.
- 14:00SPEAKER_00: Uh, we have partnered with a few Napa Auto stores.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: Um, and then those are the brick and mortar stores that we're currently in.
- 14:11SPEAKER_00: But here's the kicker: we are in Walmart.com, we are in Lowe's.com, we are in Home Depot.com, you can find us in Amazon.com.
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: And the reason why we're there is we are trying to get into the break and mortar stores, but they have to give us a test try to see if we can compete.
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: So it's important if you're someone who does a lot of DUI stuff and you want to try a product, these are the places that we guarantee you will not only get the product, but you will love it and use it, and hopefully tell other people.
- 14:58SPEAKER_00: So we are a new company, and it's sometimes the resources is hard to divorce it, divert uh money towards advertisements.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: So we've been doing like uh word of mouth kind of a stuff.
- 15:12SPEAKER_00: Uh some of our customers have been great to write reviews for us, which is very helpful in the dot-com sense.
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: So uh we were excited to to see where this product goes in the next couple of years.
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: Let's uh let's have a look at this uh demonstration for your American-made product here.
- 15:32SPEAKER_01: And I like that fact.
- 15:33SPEAKER_01: I think that's gonna go far with my audience.
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: I I people like to see things made here, so that's wonderful too.
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: Thank you, thank you.
- 15:40SPEAKER_00: So I have one single wipe here, and uh I talked about liking shoes, and uh kind of where it tests that I try to wear at least three or four different types of shoes to the gym when I work out within a week.
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: Uh, but what ends up happening is the more you wear them, uh they get dirty.
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: So, like any other product, I have the shoes that I'm wearing right now up here.
- 16:08SPEAKER_00: Um, usually I rely on water, um uh soap and the towel to clean things up.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: But sometimes what happens with that is the whole shoe gets wet.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: But since this product came out, I just started thinking I I was wondering if it would work on removing like dirt from the sole of the shoe, the sides you see here.
- 16:38SPEAKER_00: So, any of my shoes, I try to clean them once a month, you know.
- 16:45SPEAKER_00: So, what I usually do is I take out one of this and I will rip it open.
- 16:51SPEAKER_00: There's a perforated area where you can rip it open, and once you get it out, there's a microfiber toilette here that's been saturated with the solution.
- 17:04SPEAKER_00: And what you do is you unfold it so that you have a larger surface area to work with, and then you take the shoe, the side of the shoe, the sole is actually usually where I focus on, and as you can see, there it's dirty, like on this side, but I'm gonna try to clean it up with this without getting the rest of the shoe dirty.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: So the key is just to apply and rub, and as you rub, you will see the difference when I I'm finished cleaning it.
- 17:46SPEAKER_00: There's dirt from the shoe, and you have a much cleaner sole, okay?
- 17:55SPEAKER_00: And I can do the same on this side as well.
- 18:00SPEAKER_00: Uh, this you don't need a lot of elbow grits because we make sure that each of the towel that is saturated with the solution.
- 18:08SPEAKER_01: Sure.
- 18:09SPEAKER_01: That looks good, yeah.
- 18:11SPEAKER_00: So once a month I do this just to keep it clean.
- 18:15SPEAKER_00: Will they clean this other side?
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: But the area is uh the area I'm interested in cleaning right now is here.
- 18:23SPEAKER_00: This top part I usually use something else to clean.
- 18:27SPEAKER_00: Uh and and uh this works on leather shoes, it works on um uh all kinds of uh surface, and it doesn't damage the product, which is very huge.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: I know some people invest a lot of money in buying expensive shoes.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: Uh, this is a product you can test on some of your shoes just to see how far it will go with keeping the sole of it clean.
- 18:55SPEAKER_00: So that's my little fun hack.
- 18:59SPEAKER_01: Very good.
- 19:00SPEAKER_01: You know, I have to I'll tell the audience, yeah, your shoes are always pristine.
- 19:03SPEAKER_01: I'm kind of embarrassed, so I'm gonna have to get some of your products so I can get mine clean now, too, now that I'm exposed to this more than I was before.
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: I will give you some samples to try, partner.
- 19:15SPEAKER_01: Oh, thank God.
- 19:16SPEAKER_01: I will I will use them.
- 19:18SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 19:18SPEAKER_01: But thank, you know, I have to, I have to say, um, you're incredibly personable.
- 19:23SPEAKER_01: I I love the way you interview, and I also love your passion about this product.
- 19:29SPEAKER_01: Is there anything in closing that you'd like the audience to know?
- 19:35SPEAKER_00: Well, on the product, we have a slogan here, let take up do the work.
- 19:42SPEAKER_00: And what we mean by that is we don't want you to, you know, uh uh use a lot of elbow grease while using this product.
- 19:53SPEAKER_00: We want you to apply, leave the product to saturate the area for about a minute, then use the wipe to rub to remove the whatever debris.
- 20:06SPEAKER_00: So that's one thing.
- 20:09SPEAKER_00: And secondly, um, we want the users to have a good experience with this product.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: Uh so we make sure it is non-toxic.
- 20:21SPEAKER_00: You can dispose this product in your trash container.
- 20:25SPEAKER_00: You don't need uh uh a different or uh uh a suggested disposable approach uh when you're done with this product.
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: Um we're we're really thinking about um uh uh producing and using uh uh um packaging that is biodegradable.
- 20:50SPEAKER_00: That's our next thing that we're talking about in 2023.
- 20:55SPEAKER_00: So we're excited about that.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: Um but other than that, it's a great product, and we want you guys to give it a shot.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: I've kind of listed some of the areas where you can buy this product, and our hope here is that the more you buy, whether you're doing it online, which we will love, because that will actually help us to get into the store.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: Or whether you go into some of the brick and mortar stores like the container store, who have been great partners with us.
- 21:28SPEAKER_00: Uh, we we we want you to give it a shot.
- 21:32SPEAKER_00: And we promise that once you use it, you wouldn't use any other legacy product again but this product.
- 21:40SPEAKER_01: Ike, thank you very much for speaking with my audience today.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: It's definitely an honor.
- 21:46SPEAKER_00: Thank you for having me.
