air freshener

[nathan_w1]

I was just wondering what you guys use for air freshener. I don't want anything strong like those little tree deals but something subtle. Any ideas?

[tgussie666]

Yankee Candle puts out air fresheners that smell like their candles. I use Honey Dew Melon for the Olds, and Clean Linen for the GT. Not overpowering @ all. That and I hang it on my parking brake........

[SilverGA2001]

the best I've ever had... Air Spencer. :) It can be kind of strong, but you can control the amount of smell coming out of them. Their kind of expensive at 10 bucks or so, but last for months. have to search google for them. I've owned quite a few, when I could buy them locally, but that store was sold and no longer stocked them.

me and my buddies just grab a handful of those leaf like air freshners from like Autozone and hang them on our rear-view mirror,smells fresh ALL the time:D

[Mike Reyna]

New car smell. :D





























I don't use any....... :)

[30thAnnGAGT]

Axe Body Spray...... Sounds freakin odd, but spray a bit under the seats and that car smells great for a long time.

New Car smell, once a year I bring it in to the dealership where they change the oil, plugs, fuel filter, rotate the tires and wash the engine and do a slew of other stuff for less than $120.

I don't know what they use to wash the engine but it has the new car smell.

As for any of those air freshener I noticed they leave film on a glass.

^ The Actual "new car smell" is toxic. It's a combination of the glues they use on the dash as well as the new carpeting that truly gives it the "new car smell".

[XoticGA]

I use the Oil ones :) Vanilla is :teh: best :D

It's also the plastics/glue degrading. That's what causes the "hazing" inside the windows. :) Unless, you smoke.....but that's another story. lol

do the women attack your car?

[Tommy00GT1]

Wow, thanks Gus for mentioning that Yankee Candle makes auto freshners... I am practically neighbors with their manufacturing facility here in Massachusetts and I never knew they made it..

If you have a heavy smoke smell, that product called Ozium works very well for that. They make one called New Car Smell too.

Dont know about the new car smell,my o4' smelled like reefer when I bought it.Must have been all the test drives,lol:lol:

[Tommy00GT1]

LOL !! That Ozium works well with reefer too ! Spray the interior thoroughly and close up the car overnight, and the smell should be gone the next morning. If not, then another treatment should do it.
That stuff works great.

that.....would be amusing...... sorta like the women & the shower drain commercial.... he'll come out of the store from grocery shopping or something and have models posing on his car

[nineteen88ga]

I guess I'm old school but I use the trees...vanillarama. :)

The Yankee candle honey dew melon or cuecumber melon (not sure what it is) smells sexxxy! Could also be the fact that the hottest girl in my life had that in her car fo a little bit....then we were out the one night after I got her car inspected and washed it up for her and she was all about the Vanilla lol

[RickHigginsHtbr]

febreeze and cigarettes.... i have a wawa coffee air freshener that i soak in febreeze occasionally, makes it smell good.

[ga5speed02]

i use ARDEX's 'fresh air' it is awesome :)

i love those things. i usually buy about 4 at a time. they only seem to last about a month or so, but they smell great

[red hornet]

I like the vanilla also.Right now I uuse the new car sent trees:D

[Subtle_Cynicism]

I buy the ones that hang on your vents.

I didn't think they'd work well, but they do, surprisingly.

That, and depending on what one you get, it fits the interior pretty damn well.

[red hornet]

The Febreaze I use ocasionaly too.

[coupe]

I didnt read any of the responses but here is my opnion.

Stop using your vehicle as a trash can and you wont have to buy air freshners.

[red hornet]

:agree:My work is dirty to at times,:???:A job to keep a car clean.

[-grandamfan99-]

cant hurt to have a good smellin car... i use those new car blocks from autozone, and every week scratch a lil bit off the surface to keep it goin (had the same one for nearly 6 months now :D )

[GregFarz78]

I still use the trees vanillaroma FTW lol ...my car is usually spotless clean but I still like a nice scent

It isn't that, it's just that I am not going to change my eating habits when it gets too cold to just "crack the window." ;)

[Nighthawk243]

I use the ones that clip into the vents... I tend to change the scents. Cherry worked pretty well. New car didn't really smell right though. Ocean Breeze works pretty well so far.

[m_kinslo]

In my car i use the little tree's air freshener but only rip the package a bit and hang it on the emergency break and the smell isnt over powering and when it goes away i rip the package a little more and the freshener lasts a couple of months or so, and its cheap at 4 dollars for a pack of 3. also ozium does work great in the house or in the car.

[sudden_impulse]

I used a brand from Walmart, it was a small oval that clipped onto the vent with the new car scent. The cool part about it is that it's red and has flames on it, so it looks a bit better than a pine tree.
