    What do you guys use? I've used several different types and they all seem to last a week and not be worth a damn anymore. I've used the vent style, hanging style, etc, they all suck so it seems. I've even use febreeze spray to keep it smelling good, but that only lasts a few days.

    I don't smoke or anything like that. The only odor my car gets is a musty old smell, hard to desribe.

    Wild berry super stone. And I leave it in the packsge with one end open until I can't smell it then I take it out. I put it under the dash by the glove box and blower motor. Seems to work well. They last 3-4 weeks.

    Put some of those silica-gel packages in different areas of your car like under the seats and what not. Helped with the musty smell in my old car, hope it helps!

    where is superstone? i found some that came into a small can containers, looked like mint. I forgot the name but do they work? Also, I am interested in black ice... Never heard of that scent.

    My mom bought a car that had like 50 trees in it. I took them out then a buddy stole 'em to put in his car. Now he has like 20 trees in each car pocket. WTH?

    I just use the trees, I get the pine scented one because to me it just makes me feel more fresh. They last for like a week or two and yeah it's true what CompCam21 said, you just get used to the smell and then you think that they don't smell anymore.

    I find if the car sits in sun too long when getting in it's just really overpowering and uncool
