Odor removal

[Texunchief]

My wife is considering a BMW 325i. Where can I find a good forum to discuss the 325i?

http://www.bimmerforums.com is great too. Bimmer.org's forum is okay, but is really messy.

Spend a little more and get the 330i it performs darn near as good as the previous generation M3 !







edit: Shorten your sig, dude.

Thanks for the information.

Ended up getting the Volvo instead of the E46, eh?

Try bimmerfest.

 

[Sirslap2]

Try bimmerfest.

I agree with Hellrot.

Although I haven't been on the boards for quite some time now, bimmer.org has been riddled with punks and @$$es for some time now and have ruined it.

Bimmerfest sprung up as a result of people that were tired of all the tom foolery.

None of the boards have people that are as helpful as the ones you find here :bow

A good site for technical information is www.bimmerforums.com.

Hehehe, sorta funny. A thread over a year old gets revived and as a result, more than twice the replies fly in... along with a mod editing a post that's 13 or so months old.

There is also the http://www.digest.net/bmw/ I have not used it myself, but I have used the Alfa (Romeo) Digest for the last 5 years or so and it is very very good.

I haven't seen any threads on deodorizers or the like and wondered what you guys like. A couple of my old cop cars, for example, have had that 'lived in' smell - stale coffee, sweat, fear (?!), you know the usual stuff.

Aside from thorough cleaning, is there anything to give a nice fresh scent afterwards?

 

[tthomp82]

someone once posted on here I believe - Ozium

never used it but might be worth a try

 

[imported_Mr. Clean]

Ozium is an option, though it is an air sanitizer, so the effects are extremely temporary.

As you mention, a thorough cleaning of all carpeted and upholstered areas is the first order. This would include vacuum, and probably shampooing. Allow the areas to fully air dry, with as much forced air flow as possible. You can then follow with products like Febreze. I prefer to use products from OdoBan, X-O, or a product using activated charcoal or zeolite.

 

[MB Fan]

After a good cleaning I'd use Febreze. It works great and is available just about everywhere.

 

[imported_mobenzowner]

I also use Febreze, but I have seen where some report good results with taking used dryer sheets, spraying with a scent of some sort and keeping under the seat/seats for awhile.

Meguiar's just announced the release of their new reforumulated Odor eliminator.

When I went through my training at ATTENTION TO DETAILS we worked with a machine called an OZONE GENERATOR. These are not cheap but they actually kill the smell from the source and it does not come back. Most other methods are a cover-up. The truck we used it on was RANK and the next morning was as fresh as a field of daises. Lots of great info and video on this product here:
