The sweat that runs down your back and in between the crack of your butt and creases of your legs often smells good? I don't even want to know!

Buy a couple of these and place the in the door air vent pocket. Every time you turn on the AC the fresh smell comes out. Warning though. Do not remove all of the paper on the air freshener the smell is too strong. Tear away just a small piece and the as time passes remove more and more. These are cheap. About $2.50. They come in Vanilla, strawberry, ocean breeze etc.

Ya I bought my car used from a car lot and it smelt really good. I thought it was their detailing. Then one day when I had the door open all the way I saw one of those airfreshner pucks in the door vent. At first I thought it was someones chewing tobacco.

Lightbulb I find...

any nicely scented spray or dryer sheets work well. If not that, just have a really hawt chick wash her hair with that rainforest stuff and steam up your windows with her. That may work as well...

using air fresheners or similar products only cover up the origin of the odor. i rather ID the smell and neutralize it. The only smell i can stand is the scent of fine leather.

"Consuming fast food or alcohol, smoking or human effluent"

Wow that sucks. I am pretty consistent at 3 of those things
