New Car Smell
« on: 22 February 2017, 19:30 »
Wanted to keep the smell of a new car and bought some "Chemical Guys New Car Smell" air freshener:

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/air-fresheners/chemical-guys-new-car-smell-air-freshener/prod_562.html

There were mixed reviews, but thought I'd give it a go. Some of the reviews say it smells like Chemicals... Given a new car smell is plastics and glue predominately I hoped it would do the job.

Cleaned and hoovered the car and sprayed 2 squirts on both front carpet mats. And, seems to smell like a new car! Wife gave a friend a lift today, they asked how come the car still had that "new car smell" as the car is now several months old.... Seems it's done the job. Very pleased

I saw these too when I was last on cleanyourcar.

I was/still am very sceptical to whether these things actually work but having read a opinion from someone on here to say they actually work is good to know.

I'm always cleaning my car and I only allow coffee to be drunk in it no food ect (I would live on coffee if my wife let me... :sad:) so my car (currently MK6) has still got that new smell...or so I'm told.

I might buy one for my wifes neglected Aygo though...so thanks for your thoughts.

If you do buy. Don't spray more than twice on each front mat as it's quite strong...
