Glovebox Cassanova

Try a bowl of milk in the glovebox overnight.

1. FWP

I expect the OP lives in the first world. It's probably reasonable for them to start a thread about a first world issue that might not be trivial to them.

*shrugs*

Exactly, if it werent for FWP threads, PH would be down to around 2 new threads a day and both of those would be in the land rover sub forum about ways to keep a series 300 on the road for another year.

What ho chaps! I have an absolutely wizard Aston Martin DB4 Zagato & the glove box stinks of champagne caviar & cigars - all rather dashed annoying when one wants to take ones floozy off to ones country estate for the week-end. The champers not even Krug for Gods sake its jolly old Boly.

My pick-up glove box smells of Mom's apple pie, gunpowder, napalm and pissy beer.

Any recomendations?

I once bought a Ford Escort which, on a hot day, had a rather distinctive smell of cum.

OP, when you open the glovebox and the musty aroma hits you, do you hear the sound of a thousand ripe bananas being simultaneously opened?

Just asking.

That's a bit harsh for the cat?

Found a condom, unused, in the glove box of my first car, it was two years out of date.

Silica Gel Pouches remove odor as well as moisture.

On the subject of glove boxes....

I used to work at Manchester Uni and would often go out for pub lunches with this shortarse, chubby, middle-aged blonde secretary who always wore really nice high heels , but I digress.

She had a Pug 306 and one day she was driving us and I opened the glove box, as you do. Out fell the most enormous dildo. I've never moved so fast and scooped it up and slammed the door shut. We never spoke of it.

Not as well as activated carbon bags though

Well I've bought the £10 Meguirs spray. Possibly the most uneccesary £10 I have ever spent, the Mrs looked a bit confused when I tried to explain why I had spent £10 on removing a slight aftershave smell that can only be detected when opening the glovebox

You actually checked...? Were you thinking of using it?

It's worked!! Now I have the rest of the bottle left though

[Yipper]

Don't be surprised if the smell returns in a few weeks. The only way to permanently delete nasty car smells is with an ozone generator. They can be rented cheaply. Be aware, they can be dangerous.

I also had a car that had obviously had aftershave poured in at some point in time... Not unpleasant but after a while you do tire of a car that smells of anything apart from car smells.

I've never seen someone applying aftershave in a car, so how does it get there? Is it a generational thing, like how you never see someone under the age of 60 combing their hair in the gents?

Or do some people really misunderstand cupholders?

I'm sorry but you're a terrible excuse for a man. No bottle of smelly stuff like this is left unused, it gets sprayed on everything and everyone, carpets, cats, passing children and several drive-by sprayings on bus queues.
Either that or it joins the collection of dusty bottles in the garage that you keep for the next time but you forget about and buy it again the next time. Unless you have zero or three of everything you're doing it wrong.
