Anyway, the car barely smells now which is a miracle, and it only smells for a little bit until the defrost has vented out the stink in the morning when it's above 0 degrees. I should note that every inch of that interior has been shampooed multiple times as well and the liner from the trunk was just tossed out. Fucking mice are relentless when they get into cars, man...

I'm going to bomb it again this spring and shampoo again with the stinkiest shampoo I can find.

Sidenote, I had an exhaust be issue when I bought the car, and for the first month it was leaking exhaust into the cab when it warmed up. Just a little, but it was bad none the less. Anyway, that exhaust stink took the mouse stink away better than anything else.

Steam rather than shampoo if you want to get rid of it. Shampoo will just mask the scent for a while, at best.

They also make stuff that you can spray into the vents to clean it. Look up Evaporator Core or AC duct cleaners for cars. They make products that you can just spray directly into the vents, so no tools are required and it would take pretty minimal effort.

Idk, I think it's kind of nice. Like a theft deterrent deice. "Oh no, Sam. We can't steal this car. It smells like asses." See? I don't even have to lock the doors!

Came across this recently, seems like an interesting idea. I'm thinking that I'm going to get one and I'll report back.

What would you describe mice stink as similar to?

I believe that I placed an order for the "Musk" scent 2 or 3 days after this, it just arrived yesterday. $7.99, free shipping/shipping included in price

Unfortunately, it seems the only option is to sign up for either a monthly or weekly subscription. It doesn't seem like you can go with just a single purchase, but whatever. I'll probably either just cancel or cancel and sign up for a different scent before last month.

Your first order comes with a clip that goes over your sun visor. The clip is surprisingly high quality and some kind of magnetic metal. The credit card sized square of wood with the scent infused into it attaches to this clip via magnet and sits on the visor. I threw it in the car yesterday evening and when I got back into the car this morning, I didn't get that usual "wall of scent" that is common for air fresheners, which is kind of nice. If you have a heavy scent that you are trying to mask over, this may not be for you as it isn't really that powerful.

The Musk scent smells like a nice, masculine/executive cologne. Not a fruity/summer cologne, but a heavier/winter cologne. Think of a mellower version of the Black Ice Little Tree flavor, but with sort of a woody and leather scent mixed in.

Overall, I dig it a lot, aesthetically over a shitty piece of cardboard dangling from the mirror or the gear shifter.

What kind of shit boxes are you guys driving? That being said when I clean the leather in our vehicles the smell of the Maguires conditioner is pleasant.
