  Anyone care to share their experience? Does putting Pandan leaves work?
  I have tried spraying those conventional air fresheners in the car but the durian smell still persist.
  
  Thanks to all in advance.

  Leave your car out in the sun on a really hot day and leave the windows open.

  It should work.
  
  Also, buy a can of Lysol. Spray on carpet and leave car windows opened.

  Next time when you buy durian, do not switch on air-con and leave the windows open.
  
  But die die need to switch on air-con, do not circulate the air. This way, the smell will goes off very fast....

  I have tried putting pandan leaves inside the car. Left it inside the car at 4 different spots - all evenly spaced out. Within one day, I have got rid of the lingering smell of durian and replaced by the sweet smell of pandan leaves. This is really a very cheap and effective method (20cents worth of pandan leaves) of getting rid of any irritating smell in the car.
  
  Thanks again!

  Good morning, the address is 15 Jln Saudara Ku, look for Jerry 62444055.
  
  Bro Johncooper is right, the durian smell is eliminated even from the aircon. The problem is when the smell lingers on in the ac , and even when you use pandan leaves, the pandan smell enters the ac and everyone coming out of your car...smells of pandan leaves

  Although is cheaper but still have a risk of growing bacteria if left too long inside the car. Get the Neo Tech ionizer. It can get rid of the smell and also kill the germs inside our cars. Refer to the Neo Tech thread.

  Ya, Ionizer is better, recently, my frn had imported a few cartons of sample to test market. The group of us had tried and it is very effective. It get rids of the odours in my car and anyway this ionizer is very cheap.
