View Full Version : New car smell fading
:cry: Ey Peeps! my new car smell s fading. It's not that I stink but my car was used by my aunt to deliver her food catering service. It was used for about a month and now da NEW CAR SMELL is now mixed with FOOD odor... :cry: Is there a car fragrance with a new car smell that will really match the smell when I bought the car 2 months ago? wats da best one or at least the one that will closely match a new car smell. Also it needs to be safe coz i've been told that some car fragance are toxic.
scionracerxb 05-06-2004, 05:50 PM i thought my new car smell had gone away too, but its just that you are getting used to it. Every time someone gets in my car, they tell me, "wow your car still smells new". maybe you just can't smell it anymore :?
XBman 05-06-2004, 06:01 PM nah mynes gone.... prob because i put in one of those clip on vent air freshener's for $1.50 at the pep boys
mikochu 05-06-2004, 06:13 PM it's cancerous! lol... I went to the beach a few days ago and my car smelled like funk. I cracked the windows over night (good thing it didn't rain) and the smell went away. Same thing when I picked up some hooters chicken wings for my mom. Smelled like chicken and hot sauce...cracked the windows over night and the smell was gone! You might want to try fabreze...but I don't know about recreating that new car smell..
Workbox 05-07-2004, 12:55 AM Try a leather scent with order killer. I believe the "Nu Car" smell scent, smelsl to much like a chemical.

xBSciontist 05-07-2004, 02:08 AM Buy a new pair of shoes and leave it in your car. You'll have a 'somewhat' new car smell scent. :D
Infiz 05-07-2004, 02:13 AM Yeah it tends to happen after a while. Now you're just left with used car smell
mikochu 05-07-2004, 02:28 AM I think Cybergypsy likes the new car smell.. she's had 35 new cars in the last 3 years... :lol:
scionxbny 05-07-2004, 02:48 PM Hmmm.. I find leaving it in the HOT SUN with windows closed really starts to bring the smell out again. Must have something to do with warming up the plastic. Supposedly, it all has to do with some gas that the plastic in the interior gives off, eventually it gets out I guess.
scionmilktruck 05-07-2004, 03:04 PM I love that new smell that the car gives off. This is my very first brand new car so I am taking all steps to keep that smell in. Last night I drove with all the windows down coming from the Chinese spot, it was a little brick outside. Boneless Spare Rib tips and Broccoli don't smell to great trapped in the car :shock:

this is Very True!, although not good for your dash :shock:
XeroCool 05-08-2004, 11:19 PM I agree that you may just be getting used to it. I thought mine was going away, then i didn't drive it for 2 days and there it was. Just like magic!lol
jaytrey 03-03-2009, 04:21 PM try oznium...they have scents for the interior of your car. I think they even have "new car" as a scent. let me know how it works,
i was thinking about buying it, but i was afraid it might be a bit too strong.
burstaneurysm 03-03-2009, 04:31 PM Oznium is a lighting company.
OZIUM is the freshener... and this thread is five years old...
shhhhh they don't need to know that
i liked the fact they used the search feature!

the new car smell is only glue adn adhesives anyway and other bad chemicals.
to keep a new car smell you gotta get a new car :-P
TheQuietThings 03-03-2009, 07:52 PM when i installed my clazzio seat covers, the car kind smelled new again....
probably from the oils in the fabrics...
