jmurray01 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Yes I know, there are a lot of people who dislike air fresheners full stop, and those who only use the clip-on vent products. But, I prefer the old fashioned Magic Trees. Problem is, where do you hang them? The rear-view mirror is risky from a legal standpoint (plus my Mother never has and never will permit anything hanging from there, a pet peeve of hers), the rear door handles are convenient but result in the back of the car getting most of the scent when you're sitting at the front, and there just isn't anywhere else to hang them... I think I'll have to opt for the rear handles, but I'm interested to hear where you guys hang air fresheners, if/when you use them? To balance the argument, I'm not completely against the vent air fresheners (I actually have an Air-Wick in the car at the moment), but my problem with them is that they only produce scent when the fan is on, and I'm not the kind of person who keeps the blower running all the time. It is either on to cool down or heat up the cabin, when the temperature is right the fan goes off, and alas so does the fragrance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I likes me magic trees. Black Ice, Vanilla or Bouquet. Mines always hang from the rear view mirror or occasionally the indicator stalk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines always hang from the rear view mirror or occasionally the indicator stalk. Yeah, I'm tempted just to go for the mirror to be honest. Easiest option. Indicator stalk works well too, but it hits your leg and gets knocked off etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hywelkidd Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have one of those drumstick ones hanging from my rear view mirror. The fiancée has always nagged me to get one for the car and I resisted up until I started working for Domino's. Still hate the !Removed! thing though...

Ian Lanc Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I spray aftershave down the vents!! Missus went mad at me one day when she caught me spraying JOOP down the vents!! Was my Xmas box from her 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I've fitted a triple SMD led strip to my rear bird bath and inserted a bottle of aftershave 👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I used to hang them on the rear grab handles, until I switched to California scents. Now they are sat in the rear door pocket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have 3 airfreshners hanging from the rear view mirror 2 of which I have had for 9 years and haven't smelled for about 8 years 11 months, but I class them as my good look charm. I also have a Darth Vader one that I got to go with my st's stealthy looks. I don't even notice them, and don't think they impair visibilty/safety at all. You have to be careful with some of these on paint/plastic as they can act like paintstripper so best to keep them hanging imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have one from the rear view mirror and then two hanging from the back of the headrests on the driver and passenger seat (one on each side). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Rear grab handles for me! Can't stand anything around the front in my vision at all! There's a car I pass most days with the screen so full of rubbish I don't know how they see anything, keep meaning to get a pic lol! Magic tree's don't last anywhere near as long as they used to though, I'm out of 'stock' of them now so will be looking into something different soon I reckon.

Arwen Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I use the ones that stick in the vents. Two at a time they last around 2 months or so. I like the amount of flavour choice they come in. Although one does smell of public toilets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I usually hang them in the back - blueberry jelly one is my favourite. Currently, I have a Minion one on the rear view mirror. I did try one of the clip on air vent ones...but umm...I had an accident thanks to one lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Mk2.5 Focus Titanium round here with the cabin filled with Christmas decorations/ornaments. Really need to get a photo if I get a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 It is these ones I use. Rather than. The big air vent ami-pure things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Well, I went for the rear grab handles. The smell has circulated around the car, but in time it will confine itself to the rear unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Don't ever use the gel type ones that go on the dash, they melt in the sun and ruin the surface. I just squirt Richbrook Ford New Car Citrus spray into the vents occasionally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I use them round american ones,last ages and goes in one of the cup holders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I used hang one from the rear view mirror but have switched to the rear grab handles. When Brandy is erm "a bit windy" it's more effective to have the air freshened from behind: rather than have dog gas permeate to the front of the cab and wait for the air freshener to do it's job On 12/05/2016 at 9:10 PM, Lenny said: I've got an Angry Bird hanging from my rear view mirror it's like a medal of st.Christopher That might explain what the pink thing on an elastic string that Brandy used to play with, originally bought for the cats until Brandy claimed it. Never knew what sort of animal it was supposed to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcor Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I bought a car freshner from magic tree but not the conventional tree. It's a magic tree clip, clipped around the mirror it's hidden behind the mirror. Well happy with it I used to like magic trees but stuff swinging from the mirror irritated me . First time have seen the magic tree clip air freshener myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang86 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I hang mine from the rear passenger side roof handle. Also have a wee monkey called Maurice who swings from there. He used to be a air freshener once and used to hang from the original focus rear view mirror until his bungee got too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
