    Default Air refreshner

    What's everyone using for air refreshner these days? Getting sick of the little trees that only last a couple days

    Ditto on the crappy trees.

    I bought these air vent clip on ones form CT about a month ago. They work great, and still have about half the oil left. Really good price for 2 fresheners as well.

    Air Spencer squash. Lasts for two weeks and if you use it for long enough the scent gets embedded into your car interior.

    I use that or I've been using a TreeFrog version. I prefer the TreeFrog as its cheaper and bigger and last longer

    I'm very picky when it comes to fresheners. I use this now and i love it. There is a Black one and a Blue one and both smell amazing.

    I use some like the clip on ones that Seth posted, mine are febreze brand though I think. They seem to last decently long, but I've read that sometimes they leak and the oil fucks up all your trim, so you have to find a place under the dash or somewhere to hang them - that way if they blow up it doesnt matter so much haha.

    I get about 3 weeks. For $4 bucks, yeah it's worth it.

    True story. Had a 2016 GL350 come in for this exact issue. But they were reporting issues with the Command radio system. Buttons weren't working. It had melted the trim and then dripped onto the radio buttons and shorted it.


    Can't remember if Service warrantied it or not. Would of been a bad repair bill for customer

    Due to their design, I can see how some would clip them on upside down. I wonder if that causes them to leak?

    not sure, but it seems pretty common from google. if you get it brand new it's hard to mess it up since there is a seal that needs to be opened which indicates which side should be up

    i think i'll put mine in the california scent can going forward to make sure if it leaks, it'll be contained
