did a serach on air fresheners and didn't see a thread about opinions on them. Any tried Carmate products before? I found these and it just came in today. I like the smells. It has a sweet citrusy type smell. good change from the squash that I've always used.

I don't like to use car fresheners if I do I'll use a spray, just my personal preference.

Squash is the best one! Make sure it fits in the cup holder before you buy it.

I buy a pack of gum and leave it in the center console, usually makes my car smell good and I always have some gum lying around for after I eat

I know which ones you're talking about. I forgot the name too. It's about the size of an iphone right? I used to use those but I wanted to switch it up and try for somethign different.

yeah I have the one that is like a little vent about the size of a phone. And I bought some 3M tape and taped it so that it is sitting vertically on the middle part of the back seat, right in the middle just above the floor. It looks like it was made by Infiniti right there and it smells awesome

^ I've got mine in the back seat too but it seem like it lost smell after a week and I can only smell it when the windows are down and the breeze hits it. Or maybe I just got use to it.

Yeah i think I am just used to it too. When the windows are down I can really smell it but it definitely still circulates when the windows are up too

Odour Neutralizer / Deodorizing

Many odours are caused by micro-organisms such as bacteria, mould, and mildew. First start by cleaning all the interior surfaces; but remember shampooing alone will not eradicate these odours. You eliminate dour-causing organisms with very specialized chemicals.

Look for stains, if there are no stains, use the process of elimination; it is very effective when searching for the source of an odour; floor or seats, mats or carpet? If the vehicle has velour upholstery, a spill can penetrate on contact. If it is vinyl or leather, it will run to the deepest seam. Pay special attention to the headliner and all glass surfaces

a) Aquartz - So2Pure (CleanAir), this is not a perfume cover-up type product but an advanced high grade air purification coating based on the latest nano-science technology photo catalyst. In the presence of light, active oxygen is formed and excited on the treated surfaces to destroy all micro-sized air pollutants, including petro fumes, smog, diesel smoke, exhaust gases, industrial smoke, chemical off-gassing or VOCs from car fabric, leather and plastic materials, air toxins, cigarette odours, etc.

b) PŪRWorld - is a spray application deodorizing product (not a cover-up sent); hydroxyl radicals are among the strongest oxidizing species, even much stronger than chlorine, ozone, and peroxide. They act as very powerful disinfecting agents by oxidizing the cells of microorganisms, causing rupture and leakage of vital composition.
They accelerate the breakdown by destroying the molecular bonds. This will help combine the organic gases to form a single molecule that is not harmful to humans thus enhance the air cleaning efficiency.

Symptom that occurs from prolonged exposure to microbes that grow in automobile interiors, the presence of the microbes causes similar reactions as sick building syndrome. Some of the examples of odour molecules are: tobacco odour, formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, urine odour, gasoline, and many other hydrocarbon molecules in the atmosphere.

Generally speaking, disinfections by titanium oxides are three times stronger than chlorination, and 1.5 times stronger than ozone treatment. PŪRWorld provides photo catalyst surface coating for long-lasting effects of deodorization, sterilization, and anti-soiling purposes. Using specialized spray-coating equipments, a fine mist of photo catalyst can be applied on different types of surface material that guarantees the maximum result. DrivePur Protection Systems

I recently bought Chemical Guys leather scent. It is great. Gives it that new car leather smell.

PS: It takes a couple of applications to figure out exactly what the perfect amount is.

By the way, that copy/paste is full of crap.

Nano-science photo catalyst? lol.

The things marketers get away with today. The most advanced air cleaning technology featuring neutrino colliding nano polycarbonate fusion and natural lemon extract.
