I'm in hot *** south Florida.........my A/C is so cold that if the vent is aimed toward my hand while I'm driving it will start to hurt my hand.
If your A/C is not blowing Antarctica cold with a normal, full charge of 134.....something is wrong with the system.

You can try going to a parts store and buying those refrigerant-in-a-can deals. Some of them come with a gauge that you're supposed to use to read the charge level of the system. Considering how specialized and expensive 'ac equipment is I have a hard time believing the parts store cans with gauges work, but it's worth a shot before taking it in somewhere. I tried it myself-the system wouldn't take anymore refrigerant, therefore I'm assuming there's a problem elsewhere. Give it a shot and let us know what happens...

As mentioned above.....these cars are going on 9-13 years old.
The condensors MUST be pulled out of the cars and either cleaned at a radiator shop or just replaced.
Doesn't matter how charged up your system is. Look at the pics of mine after being 6 years old. I would say 50% of the surface was blocked. I had to take it out and bang all that crap out, then clean the entire thing with degreaser. I would thing a radiator shop would clean it for you for $30.00, just a guess.
