'comma air conditioner cleaner' - available from Halfords and all good motor factors, according the the Telegraph motoring supplement on Saturday, and according to Comma's website.
Has anybody actually seen any of this fabled beast on a shelf ? - if so, where. I called at three motor factors and three branches of halfords over the past two days, and all I got was six blank looks. Emailed Comma for a list of stockists, but no response so far.

Have you tried putting in into google?
I'd bet you'll find a few mail order places that can send it to you. Probably be cheaper than Halfords too.

You'll have to try and win one of the 10 canisters on offer in the Telegraph competition...:-)
Or order p and p free from here:

Don't know how much it normally costs at Halfords.

A similar comment was also made by George Fowler (Daily Star's motoring guru) recently that it was for sale in branches of Halfords.

I use Neutradol from the shelf in Tesco at a quarter of the price of the Comma stuff and just as effective.
|
|
Yes, but is Neutradol quite the same thing?
|
|
|
Colin - where did you buy the Comma stuff from then ?

Hi Guys
Was looking for this myself in Halfords - just got blank expressions or "we did do it but not any more".....
Found some on the net though www.auto-unique.co.uk
Will cost you £14.99 incl vat and delivery.
I have ordered mine yesterday - from the description its industrial strength stuff that you set off in the car and then leg it.
Its odourless and works in about 10 mins.
Will let you know how I get on with mine.
Thanks
|
Craggy - look forward to hearing your results. My problem is that I get a distinctive and not altogether pleasant smell when I turn the a/c off, and deodorisers don't make any difference

A mystifying thread. Pardon my ignorance, but what do you do with this stuff? Spray it on? Put it in?
|
its all here....

Is it really necessary?
After all a/c dehumidifies by itself which will reduce the number of bacteria to virtually nil. What's wrong with running the a/c all the time, which will be cheaper that a can of stuff for £15 plus p+p and as long as you kepp your car clean, there should be no smells anyway?

I'd a can of Neutradol , normally used to rid doggy smells.
Set the airconditioning to recirculate t with system biased to dash vents (Passat), gave a good spray into the footwells and hurriedly shut the door.
Seemed to work, ponged of perfume for a while though but musty smell went.

I wasna fu but just had plenty.

Hi Guys
Right , tried out the can of stuff at the weekend. What you do is put the aircon on full heat and the fans on recirc on full and then press the nozzle down till it locks and then exit the car.
The can discharges in about 3 - 4 mins and then the mist will clear.
I had a small bit of residue on the screen and on the dash but that wiped off easily enough.
The smell has gone and I suppose all the "bugs" that may have been in there (car is now 7) have been zapped.
Good stuff and easy to use.
|
I did the same, but with Neutrasol - sprayed it all around the interior, got out, left the engine running, doors shut and the a/c plus recirculate on for five minutes or so.
Whole car smells as sweet as a (newly cleaned) baby's bottom now...........
Neutrasol cost only £1.99 for big aerosol can at Morrisons.
