Anybody tried this and done it themselves?

looks a bit mickey mouse to me........

Might look micky mouse but I know someone has used it and it did exactly what it needed to. Save them around £30 in comparison to getting it done at their local garage.

Halfrauds do this as well now... With a free Comma cleaner. They also do a more expensive one with a pressure gauge.

 

My $tealer told me that this might stop the sweaty smell my AC gives off for 20 seconds when I first use it... Do you think it will?

PS I thought the little Japanese guy who had it before me had left his jockstrap in the vents or something...

What a supprise a stealer who knows sod all. Recharging your air-con will make NO difference to an smells - all it will do it potentially made it work better i.e. colder.

 

if you find you have some smells I found this very good on my old car. It basicly tries to get rid of bad bacteria in the ducts etc

I think he was refering to the free Comma Oil that comes with the recharge kit at Halfrauds

Halfords also sell a Comma AC cleaner - it is a spray in a can which you activate inside the car with the AC on full blast on recycle. It works - removed the stale smell from mine very effectively.

$tealer told me recharging the AC would work - I didn't think so and you guys have confirmed it!

 

Comma - tried that but Jockstrap smell still there!

 

I feel I know the previous owner quite intimately now...

i've never smelt a jockstrap so don't understand
