I use Febreeze on all my customers cars and they seem to like it. Its not overpowering and it does kill the odors. I detailed a car today of a heavy smoker and it worked well. I'm sure he will be smoking in it tomorrow, but today it smelled nice. I haven't found any air freshener that I really liked that lasted.

It doesn't last very long, even if you close it up right after you spray it. Its makes it smell "neutral" Pretty boring, but at least it doesn't stink. Most of the ones out there are too strong for my taste. Tropi-Care has alot of different "flavors" but I have never tried them.

I use some stuff i picked up at autozone that's a spray air freshener but imitates the smell of eternity for men cologne. They have other cologne smells and it makes the car smell great, and girls love it too. The only drawback is that it can dissipate pretty quick, but that's why you keep the little bottle in your car. Just spray it when you want the smell or when you're on your way to pick up a girl. Smells good.

You would "think" so, but I'm not sure. I am a distributor for TC, but have never tried the air freshener. Honestly, I don't want to buy a load of it and no one likes it. There are only so many people that want their car to smell like bubble gum, etc. I have tried a few items from Walmart and they haven't lasted either. I have seen some of the canister type that you put under the seat. Those might last longer, if you could find one you like??

LMFAO get this, I bought a $3 "adjustable" gell thing from walmart that you hang on you mirror....the scent was "new car"....it literally smelled like Deodorant. I think the marketing department screwed up the names somewhere. and it lasted about 4 days, not the 45 days they had promised.

Now what I do is spray some "cheap-o" BOD called "Fresh Blue Musk". It actually smells really expensive and masculin I think.

It's all about creating the "feel" of you car.

If it works like the commercials, the ladies will be attacking your car! It might be dangerous inside a closed car in Texas.

I use febreeze auto and it stays around quite a while. I dont know what kinda funk is growing in your car for it to go away that quickly (kidding of course). I like it, it's a light mild scent that lasts a while in my car.
