Lightbulb Car Freshener

Hi all does anyone have a car freshener in your car? If so where would you put it (without compromising the interior)?

If you have one of those CD holders that wraps around the sun visor, you can stick one in one of the slots for the CDs.

I think he is suggesting that you stick it in one of the cd slots of those visor cd holders. you could just stick it under the strap on the drivers visor.

and as for the swf, they are at work converting to avi and then I am doing to combine them into 1 avi file. I'll post it tomorrow

I take two of those small, smelly cork circle things and pop 'em in the "this is not an ashtray" thing. The smell lasts there for about 3 weeks. You can find the smelly things at any large-ish car wash place and some convienience stores. They cost about 50 cents for two...

My Shaldan is my own personal Jesus... EVERYONE loves My Shaldan. They get in the car and they're like... "your car smells GREAT!" and I'm like "of course... I use My Shaldan!"

I put it in the drink holder... and in the rare event I have two drinks in the car I throw My Shaldan under the armrest temporarily.

Do you... My Shaldan?

I purchased this car diffuser from the Body Shop.

Car Diffuser

It's $15 CDN, but well worth it...not too overpowering. If fits into the lighter socket.

I'm rocking the Vanilla scent right now (in the car and on my person)...that's all I wear! YUMMY :P

Wow I never thought the Body Shop sellls car accessories~

OK one question for ya: Do we have to unplug the diffuser from the lighter after we finish driving or we can pretty much leave it alone without worrying the thing eating out the battery?

hmm...so I assume there are no switches for that thing or else we can just turn it off...maybe it doesn't consume power (natural diffusion)?

Also any pics of what it looks like in the car?

Serious question: Has anyone come across a coffee-scented air freshener?

One of my friends is a coffee fanatic, and I'm just wondering ...

Tia still smells good, my old truck however, needs olfactory enhancement. I put a Downy cling free dryer sheet under the seat and it smells good for months at a time. It's a cheap alternative, and it smells like just cleaned laundry.

I can add some to my photo album on imagestation...I can do it tonight.

It doesn't use a lot of power, it just heats it up a little. No switch. You'll have take it out, when not in use.

I don't think u have to take it out, because the lighter socket is off when u turn ur car off. I know because my cell phone stops charging as soon as i turn the car off.

Have you guys thought about putting the air-fresheners in with the cabin air filter? I've seen a lot of Vw/mazda guys doing that.
