Do you have an air freshner in your car?

[waynne]

I would say that no-one actually remembers going out and buying an air freshner but we all seem to end up with one in our car. Did you get one as a present and should you have been offended by this?

There are now a few types - the magic tree or dangle from the mirror.
The Clip on to the air vents type
The stick on the dashboard type.

Which do you have? What does it (or is it supposed to) smell of?

Every air freshner I have tried has been too strong smelling and ends up going for a whiz through the window!

At least I take mine home and bin 'em.

i have a free 1 hanging off my rear view mirror and tbh i have no idea what the scent is but its nice

The tree ones work quite well but I don't like then swinging from the mirror. try trigger gun fabric freshener such as Febreze as an alternative.

me personally i dont mind mine on the rear view mirror as it dosent swing much and i dont use febreez as it leaves a fine mist on the leather if i had cloth upholstery i probably would

nope dont have one. clean the dash with a citrus smelling cleaner so that gives me a nice smell for a couple of days

I'm still in the garage at home when I do this. I've got a lovely smelling garage.

Someone said with the tree ones if you just peel open the package and gradually expose it to the air you avoid that lemon rush!

They do all seem really strong. The Fabreeze is a good idea though.

yeah the trees used to have markings on the back showing you how far to pull them out. if i remember they take 7 weeks before the plastics fully off

Magic Tree - "New Car Scent"

Came with the car when I bought it, 2 months ago.

Its starting to smell less & less so i'll probably invest in a new one soon.

Probably a Pimp My Ride one, love them

I don't currently have one, but I do like the vanilla scented ones!

How about the castor oil scented ones? Authentic trackside aroma

[pgarner]

what about burnt clutch smell
mmmm

[HDi fun]

How about chronic fuel leak fragrance?

[pgarner]

we sould start selling our own airfreshners for the race driver.
i see it now, rally cars with a petrol smelling tree dangling

The Classic VW Beetles always smelt of Petrol so it could help the newer ones get the nostalgic feeling of the Classic.
