Accident with Glade Air Freshener!! Can Recommend Any Interior Work Places?

[Bathingape888]

Am incredibly pissed off that my stupid glade air freshener leaked and dissolved the silver paint on my e46 318 dashboard...Never use this stuff!!!. Now I am left with a portion of the dashboard about 8 mm long by2 mm tall that I need to get patched up... Any recommendations for interior work shops in KL or PJ who could do this and match the color as well as possible? (and not too costly)... thanks guys

If Glade can do that to your dashboard, imagine what it's doing to your whole body, especially your nose, throat and lungs, when you breathe it in.

A discoloured dashboard is the least of your worries with lung cancer not far down the road.

I think it's the alcohol in all this air freshener thing that melts the paint. Try wetting some tissue with perfume and leave it on any painted surface. Same thing will occur.

actually, if possible dont use air freshener. the chemical contents could be harmful in the long run. get those charcoal mats instead to absorb/neutralise odour.

Oh didn't know there were charcoal mats. I'm assuming any accessory shop would have these?

haha.. can use for barbecue when need arises.. new to me too! I think the Charcoal is a color code.. :4:

Whenever my car got smell, nothing beats a good UV bath provided FOC by mother nature! :love:

I know Daisho the RM5 shop carries charcoal of many types & shapes for various usage. I never tried one before but I heard it's excellent in removing new paint smell especially.

And I enjoy the original UDM smell, so no Ambi Pur, Glade, etc.

the charcoal mat i was talking about is called 'nanoblok'. it has charcoal elements in it, as charcoal has the characteristic to absorb toxic and odour. i am currently using to neutralise the damp-smell (caused by wet carpet). it is not a 100% smell remover, but somehow does help in reducing the odour.

do a search on lowyat for 'nanoblok'. you will see heaps of seller. (eg. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/699600)

both. it COULD be harmful to users bcos we really do not know what is in that freshener. chemical contents yada yada. also harmful to the car when it leaks =P
