Glade airfreshner

I am so upset right now. I have the glade air freshner that has the liquid in it you know the one that clips to your vent. Well some how it tipped upside down and it leaked onto the pastic right next to the dimmer switch. No big deal you say. Well it friggin bubbled up the dash alil and left a nice white mark on my dash. I now need to figure out how to mod stuff around it to make it go away. Oh I forgot to mention after i took and cleaned off the bubbles thats what it turned white but it is smooth but still messed up. I know Glade wouldnt do any thing to help me out so i need help with some ideas to mod the dash.

Paint it, or get a dash kit, then stop using glade air fresheners.

If it messed up the surface the best bet may be a dash kit. Got a pic?

NO i dont have a pic but i was thinking about doing the paint thing specially since i dont drive it much in the winter. I could have some fun with this now :) I JUST did the 3bar mod to my grill its still so new that I still have to put the metal behind it lol. But i just needed to vent and get ideas :) the more ideas the better i always say....

Throw a couple dryer sheets under your seats if the car smells bad. Works a lot better than any air freshener.

If you can put a couple cups in the cup holders filled with baking soda for a few days. This will help draw some of the smell out of the car.

Convinced me to stay with the solid types that hang on a string, like soap on the rope...
