IME (thankfully not on my cars!), if you have that horrible A/C smell, these canisters only offer (very) temporary restbite from the stench...

I don't have any smells just want to use something like this before anything comes and to freshen the interior without using those daft air fresheners, I find once a smell comes its very hard to get rid.. Aye got a new pollen filter also  :y

Ive tried the Foam type, when the Pound Shop where doing them, bought a few, why not for a quid each, wasn't brave enough to try it in the Mig, so the Tigra Van got used as a Genuie Pig, worked quiet well comes with a extra long straw, warm the vents up first, switch off, then squirt some in ech vent, close vent switch back on again, nice clean smell.

By the way the Pound Shops Alloy wheel cleaner cans are great for cleaning Throttle bodies, Penlium, Muti Rams etc, a good squirt, paint brush it in, then rinse off with warm water and dry, brings the Alloy up looking like new. Haven't tried it on the wheels yet though.

I did on cheapo ex plod, and it was fine, cans didn't last long though, I would say one can per car, think if the Mig was worth a few grand and my only proud and joy, might think twice about though.

Have changed the pollen filter and used the AirCon Comma Bomb, Fairly strong smell but left doors and windows open and a nice breezy day soon cleared that up, Smells lovely and fresh now... We will see how long it lasts  :y

Just been cleaning all the windows, They didn't get too bad but it's an excuses to clean them all not a job i like doing especially the front and rear inside screens  :y

It's definitely worth changing the pollen filter every so often i had a load of pollen, grass, bugs, leaves and just general dust from a 9 month old filter  :o
