HUGE ISSUE WITH MY 07 SUV

[timgco]

It has lost the new car smell.

I don;t want to do. I have to have this smell more than a crack head needs his fix.

What do I do?

Please help!

I found that letting it sit in the sun and running the air on re-circulate helps to preserve the smell. Also, we do not eat in mine either, so no to have that " McDonald's fry" smell.

Letting it sit with the windows up for a long period of time (obviously sitting in the sun will provide best results) will definately regerate that smell. I havent driven my Z06 since a week or two before thanksgiving..... we had a good rain a few days ago that washed the streets of all of the salt. Took it for a short ride yesterday and today...... still has that "new" car smell. Its a 2002 but its only got just shy of 15K miles

Go to your local funeral home and buy a bottle of formaldehyde then mix it with a 1:10 ratio with water in a spray bottle and spray the carpet.

or

There is a certain carpet cleaner I just cant remember what it is but that will give it that new car smell.

90% of the new car smell comes from the carpet.

Woollite carpet cleaner will give off a new carpet/vehicle smell....however it doesn't last but for a couple weeks.

I have 3 funeral homes, and i can tell you that formaldehyde smells nothing like new car smell, let alone its carcinogenic.



That new car smell your talking about is mostly from all the rubber/plastic/adhesives curing and giving off gas. Baking the car in the sun usually releases more of it, as you can see a slight haze on the inside windows...if you smoke in your car, thats just nocotine

Autozone has new car smell in a bottle spray.
