Sweaty A/C smell
The last few posts are right on the money. I encountered this problem last summer after 5 years of everything being just fine.
Why is it that nearly every G35 has this problem? I've never owned a vehicle that has this issue? Any techs want to chime in on how the system is designed and how it contributes to this issue?
Anyone have any experience with cleaning sprays/solutions that to mitigate/eliminate the odor entirely?
Ive read that there is foam surrounding the condenser and that this is really the root of the problem—although I'm not versed in automobile HVAC to really know if that is true or not.

you guys should dry the AC out after each use.
You get condensation from using an AC so once you done using it (pulling up home or work) simply crank up the heat and turn on windshield defrost. This will run heater and AC at the same time and dry out the condensation. No moisture=> no bacteria=> no other growths=> no smell.
