Default Fresher smelling A/C...

So before I even got a chance to ask any questions a moderator shut down my thread...I was asking about the Z having a cabin air filter. Apparently it doesn't have one.

OK. Well, with that said does anyone experience this mildew smell coming from their A/C? If so, any suggestions on how to freshen things up a bit?

Thanks

yes, open the hood, and right up against the windshield there are air vents, spray febreeze in there. Works for mine, however mine has never smelled badly, I just do it as regular cleaning/maintenance.

i use an idonizer(sp) on my car and customer cars. It's a machne that basically takes out all the smell. I first leave it in the car for an hour then turn on the car , turn the AC on recirculate, then do it for another half an hour. Works great.

you can get a cleaner that sprays into the fresh air vent that kills mildew in the condensation system

I was just searching b/c I saw that blitz shows an application for 1 on their page. http://www.blitz-performance.com/ind...roducts_id=532

Maybe they assumed that another nissan/infiniti with the same air filter app. shared this as well? I have heard condensation in my air vents before, like shaking a bottle of water or something. It tends to smell weird too. I just left my windows cracked and it went away.
