Hello forum I have been using Chemical Guys New Car Smell now for about 2 years. I like it and the customers seem to like it, I have had compliments about it never a complaint. The last gallon I ordered was on amazon for $25 now it's $49.99 so I figured I would ask if there is anything on the market similar to this product, available in a gallon. I feel like they raised the price on the gallon or something but I'm having a hard time paying $50 for that product.
 
None that smell like real new car, like CG New Car Scent does. I have tried Griot, and I have smelled others with "new car" scent. CG New Car actually smells like new car.
 
I can't believe I haven't seen this before! I'm tired I using and cleaning up waffle wafers from my truck...lol Where do you spray it and does it really last for weeks, like they say?

Really? Interesting.

I too would like to know how it is applied for the best longevity. The wifey didn't like the smell of Meguiars New Car Scent air refresher so I'm looking for a suitable replacement.
 
to me it is very chemically smelling. I have used it for 2 years now on a old used Titan( my previous truck) and a brand new silverado and i can say that it smells like a new car yes. A little overwhelming if you do too much. Spray on carpets and under seats. Lasts at best I would say 2-3 days. Might last longer but that's my experience with it
 
I spray it into the intake vents of the air conditioning and run it on full blast 15 minutes. I also spray the headliner. I think it lasts as long as any alcohol/water based fragrance. Oil based fragrances last longer, like Dr. Beasley stuff.
 
3D has an odor eliminator the smells like green apples. It can be diluted with distilled water and i do just that. i found 1 part product to 2 parts water, in a small 2-4oz sprayer in my glove box or center console for a quick spritz is great. the only real odor ever in the car are kids or dogs and it covers them up and i use it so sparingly but it still removes odors and smells nice.

I must have gotten a bad batch because mine does not smell like a new car. To me it smells like Ozium, very clinical, not really unpleasant but not pleasant, either.

No, it barely lasts a day or two at the most, that is based upon personal use.

The other thing is when you spray liquids on carpet and upholstery it leaves behind a residue. You may not see it with your eyes, but it's there and it will eventually lead to soil build up. IMHO on a personal vehicle it's best to go with some sort of long lasting deodorant clip on or hanging style.

Make your own with cardstock and oil based fragrance. You could even put your logo on it.

Hold on... I'm onto something here...

I use Febreeze vent clips, they are awesome!
 
•What, exactly, is the new car smell?

•Finding products that emit
the New Car Scent/Smell? :dunno:

•Instead:
-Shouldn't we be working on ending
our affinity for inhaling VOCs?

-Many automakers are diligently
working to take those smells (and
toxins) away. I applaud their efforts.

I have ordered my VOC scent. I'll report back next week if it truly smells like a new car.
 
Two Bounce dryer sheets, one under each seat of my truck. Change them out every couple of weeks. Been doing this for years.

Everyone that gets in the truck says "It smells really good in here".

That "new car" plastic/chemical smell is not something I like at all.
