ultimate air freshener (rid crayon smell)

[_goREDgo_]

i'm one of those "lucky" ppl with the crayon smell in their beetle. it's not that i don't like the way it smells but it just permeates into everything! even my newborn daughter comes smelling like crayons after a short ride. it's robbing me of that "new baby smell". so i went to pep boys (auto supply store) and came across "clean air's genie fogging air freshener." basically its just like a bug fogger where you place it in the car with the windows rolled up and set it off. you're supposed to set it off and leave it alone for 5 minutes, then roll the windows down and allow the car to ventilate for 5 minutes. i left it in there for about 20 minutes and i let it ventilate for about 10. i definitely noticed the scent from the product but didn't pick up any crayons though this product was really strong, i hope it's strong enough to diminish the strength of the crayons. i will reply again soon to let you know how it works and if i'll need a second fogging. but so far so good oh and i'm also gonna get the "clean air duct treatment for air/heat systems" so i can attack those pesky smells from every direction. it's supposed to work really well and is specifically designed to treat the molds and odors that are associated with the a/c.

It's mainly the insulation used on the firewall and floorpans.

And for the record, the ultimate air-freshener is Cinna-Berry.

just wanted to give you guys a heads up on what happened with this product. it worked well for a while (a cpl of weeks) then the smell slowly came back. oh well, back to the drawing board.

i like the crayon smell it's like perma new car smell, i'm glad it's still there.

It's not bad. I was just confused and thought there was something weird with MY car. Didn't know it was a bug thing.

I just leave my windows down and let it rain in there. The mildew smell overpowers the crayon smell.

I don't mean to leave my windows down and miss the crayon smell.

I'm cracking up. My NB smells like crayons and I was afraid to mention it to anyone because I was afraid they'd think I was nuts. Thanks (perhaps) for confirming my sanity.

lol yeaa, after i saw the title of this forum i began to laugh beacuse mine smells to crayon so hard but now that i am cleaning it and spraying some desodorant inside more often the smell have been vanishing but i think the smell have something to be with the a/c beacuse when i put my nose in the a/c window i fell that the smell comes out from it, but well, personaly i like the crayon smell, its some kinda awesome...
btw sorry for my english lol

Mine too! My husband was like "Why do all beetles have that smell?" I couldn't quite place the smell until now. But it definitely smells like a crayon.

Just get a NB Convertible. Put the top down, drive at 30-60 mph once a week. Car stays fresh. LOL...

Sorry, mine has that vent/musty ac smell when I use just the vents.

I named my car Crayon because of it!

When I first bought my NB that new crayon smell hit me. I wasn't sure WHAT to think!
