Just wondering what everyone uses for scenting cars after doing the interior. I've used chemical guys and enjoy that, but want to know what other options are out there. Please no answers like, "I give them the smell of a cleaned car"
Thanks for the help.

this may or may not help but i use chemical guys stripper scent

I know, i know, its a gimmicky air freshener......but i have to admit, it smells good and i buy it alot

I like CG products, I have never been disappointed in any of them that i tried.

Anyway, dont know what you use from them, but stripper scent does smell good. I spray it in our house everywhere

How do you get it to last in cars. I have my method but if I can get it to last longer in my personal vehicles I'd be ecstatic. Right now I have the Honeydew and the Cherry but I'm looking at getting some more.
 
I like the "new" or newer car scent. With that said, I like Griots car scents. I used a combo of their new car scent and leather. I tend to like the leather scent better.
 
Customers love a good aroma when they get into their freshly detailed cars. I used ozium for awhile, but its cost and not lasting long at all did not impress me.

Chemical guys scents, especially the New car and Leather are top notch in my opinion. Just a spritz of one, or both on freshly cleaned carpets leaves the vehicle with a pleasant aroma for 1-2 weeks depending on how heavily the vehicle is used.

mine only last a month or so

best thing i did to "extend" how long it last...

I used a coworkers ozone machine.....it pulled all the smells out of my vehicle and then i did the stripper scent, it lasted much longer b/c it wasnt "masking" other smells ...

•No Car Scents for me!

•Car (air)Fresheners/Scents are just another source for exposure to harmful chemicals---those "silent killers" that accumulate in human's fatty-tissues---the ones that most people totally ignore.

I've had ozone generator questions since watching one of the Larry videos that featured it. I don't mean to hijack the thread but I'd be interested to hear if anybody here uses them.

If I do a thorough interior cleaning I find the scent of the products used tends to linger quite a while, even with proper extraction. I'm curious what Meg's Detailer Tannin Stain & Fiber Rinse will leave behind.

Hi Bob,

Are you sure? Where did you get this information from?

I just brought some CG samples of stripper scent, leather, and new car. My favorite is the stripped scent but I encountered a problem when two of customers said his wife thought he had another women in the car.the scent is pleasant but it smells like a women's perfume. The new car smell is another good one. And I use the leather on cars with leather. One thing I do is spray the scent heavily under the foot vents and close the doors and recent the air from the car on high for two minutes and it takes away the strong smell and makes it more uniform throughout the entire car.

Even though there might be "all-natural" Freshners:
Yes.

•Here in the U.S.:

-SDSs [which started replacing MSDSs ~2012...and which have been further adapted to take into account the rules for safety data sheets of the Global Harmonised System (GHS)]

Note:
When the SDSs list only trade secrets/proprietary
ingredients...the Code of Federal Regulations 29 CFR is invoked. Meaning:
In the US...Car Air Freshners, and their ingredients, (including VOCs), are not regulated at the State or Federal levels.

-OSHA
-EPA
-NIOSH
-Center for Disease Control
-Dept. of Transportation
-Dept. of Labor
-etc.

Which city do you reside? I'm sure all the nasty crap you breath and carcinogens are much worse. ;).

According to the near-real-time Air Quality Data Acquisition
and Reporting System---as operated and maintained by
Ohio EPA's Division of Air Pollution Control:

No, thankfully, it is not.

I have one put don't use it very often. Most interiors that are just dirty smell OK after a good cleaning and extraction.

But every once in a while I will get a mom-mobile that reeks of vomit, baby diapers, and spilled milk. You just know that even after emoving the seats, extracting them, then going on to the carpet that it will still stink.

That's when I get out the ozone generator. I will generally set the timer for 45 minutes. Then let the car air out and give it a sniff. Sometimes it will need another 45 minute blast of ozone. And once I had one so bad that I let it run for 4 hours. Then left it closed up overnight. I was worried that with that much ozone exporure it might turn the interior plastic chalky or brittle.
Turned out fine though. And it stayed clean smelling inside afterwards. It also does a good job of killing mold smell in air ducts in the dash.

There are 3 different scents, New Car, Summer Breeze, and Citrus Grove. I'm pretty sure Michael (Guz) used the 'new car' scent.

May I ask where you are located...$40 is way out of sight.
