Any suggestions for a decent aircon bomb? Half the ones on ebay look decidedly cheap and unreputable, but most of them from other places just seem over priced.

I might be wrong and some will say i am but does a pollen filter not filter incoming air? so changing that wont remove a smell already in car. shampoo machine or vax sprays 'soapy' water into seats and carpets then sucks it all back out, it amazing how much dirt they remove when u see colour of the water and prob best way 2 remove or reduce smell. and not 2 hard or expensive 2 hire

A blast with this, empty a full can on to the boot carpet and interior and a gell sachet or two inside the car for a week.

Tescos sell it.

We have an anti bacterial fogging machine that will work better than a standard aircon bomb, you are welcome to use it for the price of the liquid.

Superb offer, thanks emps. Got a bomb in the meantime and seems ok so far, but if the whiff comes back I'll be sure to take you up.

No problem, just drop me a PM/email.

It is much more effective than one of those 'wet' bombs. If you have stains from milk/sick etc we inject it to break down the source of the smell and then fog with the aircon on to help penetrate the roof lining/seats etc.

Quick video of it in action;

Finally got rid of the smell so thanks to everyone for all your advice. Cleaning the pollen filter made no difference so I tried the air bomb suggestion. I got a can from the mazda main dealer ( own brand ). It was only £6.00 and it has worked a treat and alot cheaper than the £11.99 that Halfrauds charge for a tin!

I can vouch for the vinegar. It does work if just sprinkled onto the carpets and seats. If you`ve got leather the a wipe with a cloth with vinegar. I`ve plenty of experience of those having drunk too much and chucked up in the back of a car.
