***DO NOT Spray this into your dash vents!!! It will not reach the evaporator. You could run the blower motor and spray into the cabin filter area, but don't. You run the risk of this wet grime going through your dash air ducting and staying there. The cleaner can also mess up dash finishes and carpet, plus get through the vents and into your eyes. Do not follow so many bad online instructionals, just use as directed. That's exactly how I've showed it here.
May as well replace the cabin air filter at the same time. I like OEM parts but for cabin filters there is nothing wrong with a proper fitting cabin filter, it may even be superior to the factory filter.

I think this is the best how to EVAP cleaning video on YouTube. 🍻 Thanks for the lesson!

Another really informative video. Your videos need to be shared. The average joe wouldn’t bat an eye on what techs do on the job and just pay for the service not knowing what they’ve done is completely useless. These videos are really appreciated.

The best way to prevent any odor when starting the AC is to turn off the AC 3 minutes before getting to your destination while keeping the blower on full blast. The condensation will be removed from the core eliminating mildew from forming.

Thank you for answering my air filter question. I watched so many videos where they did not remove the filter before spraying the vent that i just couldn't believe this to be true.

One point to make . Pinch off the drain hose & let the foam work for about 10 minutes before draining out . Only dirty water comes out , not foam .

Thanks Mate for your Great video! When spraying to the intake, did you put external circulation, turn on AC and set the temperature to the lowest?

Thanks for the video. I believe these kits are available from Subaru as well.. possibly for less money. Don’t quote me on that as I heard it through the grapevine.

Maybe use a hose clamp to hold the plug in place for safety.
