Kind of embarrassing but causes arguments

My husband's car smells, I'm sure mine doesn't smell that great either but I also have the kids and sometimes dogs with me. He drives to work in the city (a smaller car) and it literally smells like a farm in there, I have no idea why. So I always say can you please clean your car out, a few times we've switched and I can't stand it and someone asked me for a ride once while I was driving his and I warned them, they thought I was joking but they were like, yep you were right :banghead: But there's more, sometimes he smells. I'm the kind of person that I can shower once a day, sometimes even once in two days and not smell. Husband is NOT like that, he works in a lab at a hospital so when he comes home his hands definitely smell 'chemically' but because he wears a fleece in that damn car, he sometimes smells too. I try not to say too much because he gets SO offended EVERY time. No matter how I approach it...I mean how much more tact can I use, he still gets all pissy about it. Today one of our kids said something to him when he came home, inside I thought Oh my God see it's not just me, SEE! I've suggested don't go a day without showering, bring deodorant in your work bag and use it when you use the bathroom, use talcum powder after a shower and please use deodorant when you don't have to go to work. He ALWAYS claims those things will just 'mask' a smell and make it smell worse, NO THEY DON'T! He showers and uses deodorant but thinks he doesn't need to do more than that. Help, what can I do? It grosses me out and it's not something I can just get over. Yet when I bring it up, gently, with tact, etc he still gets annoyed. And yes he was kind of like this in college when we met but it was college. He also listened more then or used the cologne I gave him as a gift then, now the number of times he uses cologne--it's few and far between. HELP PLEASE!
