New car smell air freshener

[Wormydog1724]

I’ve had my ‘21 AT4 for a couple thousand miles and the new truck smell is sadly already gone. 
 

what’s everyone’s favorite new car smell air freshener or spray thing or bag thing to keep the new new longer?

Would love to know this myself.  I think newer cars don't off-gas like the older ones did.  There might be the odor of leather if equipped but that's about it.  Over the years, I have tried everything but no one makes one that smells like fresh paint and freshly molded plastic/carpet.  Some swear by Chemical Guys but haven't tried myself yet.

If you buy, let me know what you think?

I just let my wet dog in, personally I like the wet dog smell

Raising cattle during calving season will cure you of wanting just a new car smell, anything will work better, even smoke, than pasture smell.

 

If you find something, post the ingredients.

I'm almost 3k in and I still have the new car smell. I've been using ozone and it seems to be working

I have the chemical guys new car smell - it’s great, but not the same as a new car off the lot.

The "new car smell" is actually a carcinogenic toxic soup.

I bought it a few years ago. It kinda smells like an inflatable pool toy. Not a fan.

Seems like a love or hate thing

I like the Chemical Guys leather quick detailer. Has a nice new leather smell. Not identical to new car smell but pretty close.

So is waking up and getting out of bed and/or staying in bed and sleeping all day.  All in moderation.... should be just fine so long as you're not beer bonging it

yeah we have 600 cows and just calved out 60 first calf heifers. But that’s my work truck. This is my town/trip truck.

Not exactly an air freshner,  But when I clean the interior of my vehicles, I use a bit of Murphy's Oil Soap in the water. Brings back that new car smell.
