    A/C smells like paint ??

    Lately when I turn on the A/C it smells like paint in the cabin for some reason. Any thoughts ?

    Happens if not used for a while.

    Use this to clean it up

    Can also be found at some local car parts chains. It may take 2 applications.

    And then change the charcoal cabin filter.

    You can put it up through the AC drain underneath. It is on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel, right around where the passenger seat would be.

    Or you can try through the cabin filter hole.
