    nothing beats pure air

    (air freshener..... is a myth...... more accurately, they're "odor maskers" )
    For me, I never use air freshener even with my 14 year old Mazda car. I use inonizer instead from time to time. I also never drive with my windows open, siguro twice lang nangyari sakin and that was the time nun nasiraan ako ng aircon. And more importantly, I clean it everyday from interior to exterior. Parang nag aalaga ka rin ng isang anak mo...
    And with my fofi, enjoy ko pa rin yong new car odor nya...ang sarap amuyin lalo na pag pasok mo pa lang sa loob... hehe

    Basta't huwag ka lang magyosi sa loob, magbukas ng bintana parati, at kumain ng kung-anu-ano sa loob ng sasakyan....,- mabango pa rin ito, kahit na 5 years old or more na.....

    To each his own i guess. As much as we want the smell to last, it is dangerous.

    Yung escape namen ganyan din. More than 1 yr. na amoy leather paren. Ang masama pag may lakad nangangamoy ka din tapos napapansin mo lumalayo sayo ung tao. Yung tita ko naman sinabihan kameng amoy ***. Masaklap pa jan pag naarawan ang baho ng amoy sa loob tapos nakakahilo minsan. May alam ba kayong solusyon dito? Sobrang salamat kung meron haha. Btw meron kameng charcoal sa loob the whole time pero wala effect paren. Tapos iba ibang car freshener ginamit namen, talo lahat sa amoy ng leather.

    Pareho pala tayo ng situasyon. 1 yr na rin escape namin. Nilinis na ng casa aircon (warranty), binilad, nilagyan ng baking soda, uling, wa epek parin and di masolve ng casa. Lakas parin ng amoy. Di naman leather seats ung amin kasi xls lng yun. Pinagsuspetsahan namin yung natunaw na rubber sa likod sa ilalim ng carpet right above the muffler pero kahit nilagyan na ng insulation ganun parin.
