Welp, got my car back from service a few days back and apparently one of the tech guys doesn't have the nicest of body odors when working on my car... thus, I have this lovely, lingering odor in my car that just refuses to go away, no matter how long I drive with the windows open... so I'm wondering, what's a good air freshener to use in the car? I really hate perfumey smells in my car... ideally, I'd love to have that "new car smell" back... any good suggestions? Preferably something that I can just spray once and be done with... don't want no cardboard evergreen tree air fresheners hanging from the rear-view mirror.

Obviously you have never seen the Seinfeld episode which covers this topic.

although at the end of the episode, didn't Seinfeld wind up selling his car? I don't think I'm in the same financial situation to be able to let go of my car because of the smell...

I'd try some Ozium air freshener. Usually available at the car wash. I'd also clean the leather (Lexol) where the guy might have sat (driver's seat, anywhere else he might have been in the car).

They have auto odor eliminators, new car scent, and even sprays to remove mildew odors from your AC. I've ordered the mildew remover, but haven't applied it yet....

Try some Mother's Back to Black on some black trim - it's got a nice scent (not feminine at all)

...cloth, since leather should remain fragrant (leather fragrance, of course!), and leatherette should wipe clean. I use that Febreeze (sp?)fabric spray stuff that you can get in the grocery store to freshen the cloth seats and carpet in my Xterra. Works pretty well to get out body odors or musty clothing odors from the less clean people, and other odors such as fast food, or whatever. Good luck!
