We all have customers that, when intoxicated or not, leave behind various aromas. Body odour, sick, even soiling themselves, kebab/fast food smells, passing wind, etc etc

I keep a can of oust in the car for these special occasions, however I want to know if anyone has got any recomendations for air fresheners that will keep the car smelling nice at all times?

The ones I buy from asda seem to work for about 10 mins and are then useless! I even bought some fancy ones one which stuck to the dashboard, but these were the same.

In Asda in the car bit, you can get these jell like strawberry's, they last for up to 18 months and are not over powering, just leave a nice background smell

I use Baby Wipes, a fresh neutral smell which brings up the trim nice and clean and are cheap as chips at Lidls.

A can of furniture spray polish covers most, and gives the impression that you have just come out to work. if it is puke then I use CIF or Fabreeze.

Febreze or any Ostomy spray, of which I have a regular supply on prescription!!!

Talking of which, following my colostomy, I had my rectum removed. Four lads in the car the other night; One of them let one go! The usual conversation: It was you, Fred, no it was you, Bert. Then, in unison, 'it was you, drives!!' My reply: 'Sorry lads, I can't.'

The stunned silence was palpable!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D :D

Don't tell me, let me guess. Some time ago some b'stard told you that you wouldn't make it as a taxi driver whilst you had a hole in your ar5e.
