For my car? I don't use anything. It doesn't smell. Did you spill something?

Where can I buy the air spenser?? I don't want to buy it on ebay, but might have to resort to it 'cause I can't find a halfway decent website that sells it (and the refills).

I usually go to bath and body works once a year. It's that time of year. I can usually buy something there for a least one chick on my christmas shopping list.

You should see some of the babes that shop in that store

My air freshener is the fact that I don’t smoke or allow it in the car.
No need for anything else.

I DO keep a pack of Altoids in front of the shifter, I guess THAT helps a bit.
That and the Zaino leather conditioner.

The Trees are the best, for me it's the old fashioned dark green Pine one though. Sometimes to "mix it up", I buy the lighter green one. I hate getting into someone elses car when it smells funky and don't want mine to. People always comment at how good it always smells in my cars.

Once I use the Zaino leather cleaner my car smells like that for a few weeks. No other smells get into my car.

I smoke, but don't smoke in the car. Never have, never will. When I was cleaning out my old car to sell it, I couldn't beleive the amount of nicotine left on the interior even after a good cleaning.

My CLS still smells good, but my bus is another story

Fresh air

I've been in the habit of making sure the fresh air flap is open, as opposed to recirculate, before the car is turned off. This way, heat doesn't build up inside, and the inside air can mix with the outside air, avoiding any incubation effects. A messy friend of mine doesn't do this, and his cars have always reeked. And dropping even a spot of food or drink can start the composting.
As far as adding any artificial smells, I've found them to smell really strong and objectionable when you first use them and then trail off to where they're forgotten. Treating the leather and vinyl seems to be enough....

Morning Fresh ... Quite possibly the best smelling air freshener ever. Stick it in the air vent with the heat on and it eliminates any smell you have in the car. And for those of you that smoke it does wonders

What are the differences between the actual Air Spencer devices? I just ordered a "Giga 2-Way", which is a single tube that clips to your vents. Is this one better/worse than those "dual-tube" looking ones like dusterbuster's pic above?
