Review on CF10732 Fresh Breeze Filter Hammer by Aaron Wilson

My wife has a 2012 Hyundai Veracruz. Three months ago I replaced the normal cabin filter with this fresh breeze. Two things immediately struck me: 1. The frame air filter is about twice as thick as a standard air filter. Excellent smell and no extraneous odors after replacing the old filter with a frame filter. How can I tell it's working? We live in Oregon and I changed the filter during peak wildfire season when there was a lot of smoke in the air. Before the replacement, we could smell the smell from outside through the air circulation in the cabin, like we had windows open. After the replacement, we didn't smell any smoke, road tar, or anything harmful outside of the car. Needless to say, I was amazed. I've noticed that the fresh breeze smell has faded over time, but it still seems to be doing a good job of blocking outside odors etc. I will definitely buy it again.
