Being doing this for years, great trick to share with people but as you say - CHOOSE YOUR SCENT WISELY!!!

Haha, the mrs had that watermelon one and its 99% gone now FIVE months on. But if you put the heaters on it still makes an appearance. Best bit is... she doesnt like it 🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♂️

Nice! I have a new cabin air filter sitting in my trunk waiting to be installed. Definitely will be trying this out

I bought a tin of cherry California Scents back in November for the first time after reading loads of good reviews, it's now the middle of May and I can still smell it. Amazing things. 😁

Yeah I've had these before, it was a long time ago, but yeah very good from what I remember, think it was the bubblegum one inside to have in my Focus.

@@DetailingandtheBeast I was so impressed with the cherry one that I bought the new car scent one for my wife's car but it didn't seem to last as long. I did read that the cherry one has the longest lasting scent. 👍

It was blue bubblegum and (I think it was called) shaster strawberry that I used to get. You could buy them in boxes of 6 at car shows. Both were half decent smells and lasted a good 6 weeks I'd say.

Great idea Dave! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻

Thanks for the great tip dave, I think I'll have give it a go 👍👍👍👍

Just what needed a really great tip.

Great video Dave! I was thinking to do the same method before, but wasn’t fully sure it will work longevity wise, but you gave this a green light by testing it since a while now. Will do this today. Thank you Dave

Yeah it does last. My car had the Savage scent and that lasted about 10 weeks. My mrs's car had the Watermelon sugar and it is still vaguely noticeable after 5 months! Very very sickly scent though so I'd advise against that one.

I tried this with the oils you put in a tea light oil burner and it was rubbish so am looking forward to finding a smelly spray that actually works. Will be giving it a bash on my Jag later today, cheers for the tips!

Hmmmm better get a filter for the ranger dave! I've done it in the digger to trap more dust.

Top tip I’ll give that a try In the mini it’s due a new cabin filter soon I think

Excellent going to give this a try on the wife's car 🚗

brilliant idea, I did this on my girlfriends MK1 Focus using her favourite essential oil ,however my Kuga is a different story you have to dismantle the car to get to the filter lol

Where is it on the Kuga? I'd have thought that might be the same sort of area as my Focus and Ranger (they are both the same place and process).

I use a lot of those auto brite cans. They last a good time just in my seats.

Just be careful on fabrics and leather, I'd guess using a lot could cause you some staining maybe???

Would love to know how well this works with the awesome new scents from Duel Autocare.

What type are they? If they are anything liquid based (rather than the aerosol format) I'd suggest it might not last as long. But, you can always re-apply. I've found the aerosols last way longer than any of the water based offerings.

That he’ll shine last an hour and I no that because I’ve got 3 bottles of it a magic tree last longer the best thing I use is put some fabric conditioner in a spray bottle and mix income water it lasts ages

I'd be tempted to try it but would it work with carbon-activated cabin filters as they're supposed to filter out smells?

Amazing Hak. Can I just confirm , do all cars have a cabin filter or is it called a pollen filter. The cost for a BMW is around £70🙁

That is phenomenal for a cabin filter. For reference mine is less than a tenner...

I taught the neighbours a few new words fitting the cabin filter in the wifes Adam , who ever placed it where it was needs s**ging !! In terms of the aftershaves I find the testers you get in Boots work well if placed near vents etc and lets face it if, your crafty , they are free

Cool but I cheat as I reuse the magic tree and put a few drops of my Mrs stick air freshener oil on them and hang them on the back handles of my truck so I can't see them 😉

Same as most brands, some is good some not so. I have some that I think are great, FAB interior, very cherry wheel cleaner, these air fresheners, some of the hellshine range, all top quality. Some is garbage. Some is bang average. As I said, same as most brands really....
