I usually place my car fresher in the cup holder of my Montero. There were few instances however when I left it either on the passenger seat or in the space beside the gear shift (kambyo). That space is where I often put my mobile phone and tv plus remote.

Two weeks ago when I was re-arranging the position of my car freshener inside its can. I noticed a black spot on 1 of the 3 fresherner. Ive been using the same brand for years on my car and have not seen a similar mark. My first thought was that it was a factory stain of some sorts only bec i dont have ballpens that can leak ink. Another possibility that crossed my mind was that it was burn stain. Maybe extreme heat inside caused it to burn? There were times u was parked in unshaded area. I was convincing myself it was not possible hence I just let it be. Until last night when my daughter handed me the tv remote and pointed something on it. Upon checking, it was only then that I realized that my car could have indeed gone to ashes. Part of the car freshener's fiber was melted on the remote as shown in the pic.

What could be the cause? Excessive heat kaya? I have the lightest windshield tint on my monty. Then again i also have the lightest tint on my car (although diff series but same brand). And my car is usually just parked on an unshaded area of our garage. Wala naman ganito.

Cellphone ko kaya? Since i usuall charge it on that space near the gear shift. Pero if cellphone how come magkadikit na nasubog car freshener and remote? Possible lang siguro if the freshener was in contact at one end of my phone tapos a kabila naman yun remote.

What do you think caused something like this?
