Default why isn't my A/C that cold?

i've noticed lately that the a/c on my car isn't too cold. I mean it's cool but i still find myself sweating during the whole drive. I even had someone get in the other day and say damn it's hot in here. Are those A/C charger things from the auto stores any good or should i take it to a mechanic?

yeah i think i'm gonna do that. just curious if those ones from autozone were any good. Anyone know about how much it costs to get this done and how long it takes? Would i have to leave my car for a whole day or is it something they just do in like 20-30 minutes?

what would an a/c delete do anyways since the pulley is clutched? I would much rather have the a/c right after my car has been bakin in the sun.

Remove some weight? That's about it really, A/C delete = pointless.

It doesnt take too long at all for the recharge, they charge you by the pound

Refrigerant doesn't wear out...it leaks out.
Go ahead and recharge it, it's not difficult, it will blow cold until
the refrigerant leaks out again.
