- I've been thinking about how to eliminate and prevent mildew build up.
- (I don't have AC (convertible) so I can't confirm this, but...)
-
- Method #1:
- 1) Try a slow air intake rate.
- 2) Then spray Lysol outside so that it is drawn in with the outside air.
- (The vent should be below the windshield wipers)
- 3) shut of the air (or have someone else do it) so that the Lysol can settle.
-
- Method #2:
- 1) With the air off, spray Lysol directly into the vents (backwards air flow).
-
- Preventing Build Up:
- 1) Before stopping the car, turn off the AC, and let the system warm up a bit,
- with the airflow on full (but AC off) so water will condense and build up.
