    I've used Gen20 in the Golf GTI with good results. I need to give it another session and remove the cabin filter, giving it a good dose on recirc as well as fresh.

    So far the Patrol has not been affected with bacteria. Dust is another story...... I have installed the cabin filters, but they do nothing for the rear aircon. The rear ducts filled with dust on an outback trip even though I didn't turn it on at all. I was showing a Patrol owner who did not have the rear setup how it works, and when I turned it on we both got covered in a shower of red.

    was talking with air-con guy about servicing and he mentioned something available to kill smell.
    sorry but he was giving me the impression of being a rip-off artist so I simply left. can't elaborate.
    glen 20 worked just fine

    I use the can from the ambi pur crap and just give it a few squirts on recirculate it gets rid of the stench.

    There is a proper cleaner available. I used to use it at a ford dealership I worked at. Can't remember what it is called but similar to glen 20 ingredients, just a lot stronger. Would take your breath away. Worked great but, instant results and no after smell (like glen 20).

    Good old glen 20 works fine too.

    Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
    Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
    For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
    'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
    Such is the rule of honour.
