Thaiyotakamli Supersonic July 1, 2011 Share July 1, 2011 Can't be outside smell as it smells like aircon musty smell and also, it's while in motion, not at a certain place.... Because if u park ur car for example in just painted car park and u leave it overnight, u will smell the paint when u turn on the aircon, tried before, leave about 4-5 hours parking in mall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
