Re: Anyone ever used these Air Fresheners?

i don't know about those . i will pass on a bad experience i had with air freshners . i bought my first 3rd gen from my neighbor when i lived in key largo , fl. . it was just a play car for them , not driven much . wife put in a vanilla air freshner , car stayed fully closed for a couple of months . (florida keys sun/heat baked) when i bought it from them i could only drive it with "T" tops off & windows down . (not a bad thing in the florida keys) it was just overpowering till the scent faded . just be careful with those things , good luck .

This is personally my favorite scent to use in my car. I haven't tried the jar yet but from personal experience the sticks and cards do not last very long and that's my only complaint. I'll give the jar a try next.

I put 1 under the passenger seat in another car.
If you want strong scent, pull the seal completely off..

For lighter scent expose a lil bit at a time as it dries out..

Put it on a rag or somen newspaper so if it tips over & leaks its easier to clean.

Re: Anyone ever used these Air Fresheners?

My buddy had one of those in his old Foxbody, the Primal Impulse one, I believe. Kind of reminded me of Monster Energy for some reason? Not bad.

I tend to like the Raspberry scented cones you can get from Wal-Mart for like 80-something cents, I change them out regularly in my Toyota since the previous owner smoked in it.

The best air freshener scent out there though (IMO) is squash or squash blossom. You can usually find it in the little California Scents cans. It's kind of hard to find on the shelf, but I hear other companies make the scent too and you can buy it online. I generally pick one up whenever I magically happen to come across it for the T/A.

the "jar" IMO is so far the best one because everything else seems to wear off easily...

Pick up the Febreze car vent clips.



Ran them in my GTP and now in my 83. I have one on the Vents hitting the windshield and one in the passenger vent. Car smells amazing. They dont last long fyi.
