Default Anyone ever use an A/C Referesher Kit?

I just made this purchase from Sewell, it's the A/C REFRESHER KIT. Was wondering if anyone used it to get that odor that shows up in the AC when used?

If the smell is bad, replace your filter (behind the glovebox). I've read that blasting your heater for a few minutes can help too.

Best thing Is to prevent moisture in the AC system by turning off the AC several minutes before you turn off the car

I heard this one too. I try to turn it off ahead as well.

It works pretty well. Just don't turn on the A/C right after injecting the foam or it will blow out the vents and into your car.
