I use the jelly bean air freshener. I find the sprays only last for a few hours

 

Thanks for the help.

 

After looking it up for months i finally got CG stripper scent. It smells nice but doestn seem to last at all. I spray it on the mats and into the air vents. After a few minutes i can no longer smell it which makes sense as i get used to it. I would expect to smell it again after returning to my car but i just dont. I have yet to find an air freshener that lasts.

That's the same as I get with the Bouncer's one. It only seems to last a few seconds and then it's gone.

Thanks for all the help.

 

I only use Ambi Pur that sits in the vent. Inexpensive and smells great.

 

I had one of them. Leaked over the vent and discoloured the black plastic. Swore never to use liquid air fresheners in the car again.

Designer smells nice

Keep a can in the car and just tap it to get the slightest of sprays. It will last you a while

 

Thanks for all the help.

 

chemical guys for me, black frost, pina colada, stripper scent..spray about 3 sprays on each mat front and back of the car and i can still smell it in a few days.
also odk cabin air freshener scent is very nice too and lasts about as long as chemical guys does

 

What on earth does Black Frost smell like? The nearest I get to smelling frost is every winter when I fall on my ****.

 

Dont laugh but I really like Smelly Beaver's, they seem to last a good while and have a great range of different scents...

It also has the added bonus of winding up Mrs P when I put one in her car:lol:

Coronado Cherry gets loads of comments on how nice it is in my car.I have tried dozens of car air fresheners and its the only one that lasts so far.I keep it in my cup holder in the dash.Which has a soft close door over it.I do keep the door closed all the time.This keeps it just nice.As you say its strong,very strong.Try just opening the vent on it just very slightly.Leave under your seat.
iTS SO STRONG,I used to keep my electric gate fob on top of it,but it started to melt the fob out of shape.Left Cigs in ther with it and they tasted of Marzipan.
When i need a boost of Cherry due to a nasty,dirty smell,like when driving through
St Helens.I open the dash soft close door and B O O M,nasty dirty STs smell be gone.Open a Brand New one if your going near ther Rugby Ground helps,but cant get the stink out your nostrils.

LMAO - is it that bad there

 

I use the Coronado Cherry California scents tin, which I’m going to guess is the same as you?

I too thought it was too strong initially, as did some passengers. I’ve had one in about 6 months now, still smells good but not overpowering at all. I forget it’s in the car but when people get in they always ask “what’s that smell it’s lovely” so I know they aren’t talking about any gasses I may have dropped.

Maybe just try opening a tin partially and keep the vents on the top slightly cracked? Or, open one fully and leave it in the garage a few weeks before putting it in the car. It is a strong scent.

I tried the autoglym spray air freshener, and I bought a citrus concentrate to make my own which I spray the mats with when I hoover the car out, but it doesn’t last more than half hour or so. Maybe I’ll make a super concentrated version but I can’t see any sprays beating the California scents.

Maybe just try a different scent and see if that meets their approval. I’ve only ever used the cherry one and I’m very happy with it, after the initial opening!

 

Cali scents Laguna Breeze for me, makes a refreshing change from the cherry one.

 

Yeh,it s nice.Stripper is good also.

pull the pollen filter out give it a good 5 sprays and replace. every time the fan flows you will get a subtle blast should last 2 weeks plus

 

I find the best way is to re spray one of the hanging air freshener that has dried up, good few sprays and it seems to last longer than spraying onto carpets...

 

Apologies for my first question being such a boring one but passengers complain that the Coronado Cherry air freshener I use is to strong.

Finally managed to sort the air freshener out. I went back to the Coronado Cherry and got the passengers another ride.

 

currently Lidl are doing an aftershave that smells like hugo boss. it's £4 a bottle. I know its not Hugo Boss but as an air freshener in my van it does a great job and is great value compared to all the other rubbish car air fresheners that last less than a week.

 

Just found out that AutoSmart have sell their products in a local Truckstop Café that I pass most days and I thought I'd give their Blast a try. Seen quite a few mention the Designer one.

Can't find the price anywhere and not sure of using eBay as the prices vary so wildly from £6 for two cans to £15 for one can. Has anyone tried the AutoSmart Blast air fresheners at all, any views?

 

Yep. I've been using them for years. Berry burst is lovely, but quite a chemical smell if you use too much. Cool, is just amazing, and Designer is delish. around 3 quid a can isn't far off the mark.

Just don't buy the 5 litres of autofresh liquid. It doesn't last. The aerosols and hanging airfresheners are great though.

Thanks Cooks, really appreciated. I didn't want one of the AutoSmart reps turning up in a giant van simply to sell me a couple of quid can of air freshener. Now I know I can drop in somewhere locally, that'll be great.

 

What aftershave smell is the new autosmart designer similar to?
Thanks

 

Not been able to collect one yet as everytime I've called, the Designer one is not in stock. Not sure if that's because they're popular or they're not available from the rep.

 

Have you tried lightly dusting your head lining & sun visors with your spray ?

 

Yup California cherry. Been in cars after 6 months and it's all you can smell. Nothing seems to come close.

Put it somewhere under a seat?

 

Just ordered ODK cabin scent. Heard good thinks about it. Hope it's nice and it lasts.

 

I have the Cabin interior dressing and love the smell, but it's gone immediately. Didn't realise they did the smell as an actual scent though. Gonna order some now. :thumb:

 

Conorado cherry is the one!! Most passengers comment on it but usually that they really like it. One can seems to last forever!

 

A shout for Mitchell and King Cucumber cabin fragrance.

Sounds mad but it lasts and lasts and lasts. Its the classiest air freshener I have ever bought.

 

best air freshner would be one that smells just like a new car.

 

Finally managed to hold of one of the Autosmart Blast air fresheners, the one I got was the Designer fragrance.

Reading what everyone had mentioned on the forum and listening to Jon on the Forensic Detailing Channel, I weighed the cans that were on the shelf and there did seem to be a lot of difference in the weights, some felt loads lighter than others.

I followed most of the instructions on the can but sprayed a short "blast" onto each of the front car mats instead of in the air. So far the smell has lasted way longer than any others I have tried, they all seem to last for only a few minutes but the "blast" is still going strong after a couple of days.

The smell is a bit overpowering at first but once it's settled down, it's really nice. Not sure how long the cans will last though as they don't feel very heavy. Best so far for me.
