Chemical Guys AIR_101_16 New Car Smell Premium Air Freshener and Odor Eliminator, Long-Lasting Scent, Great for Cars, Trucks, SUVs, RVs & More, 16 fl oz

Here’s a very honest answer incase anyone was wondering. I bought this item without reading any reviews. After reading a few after I purchased I saw many people unpleased with the smell but I still wanted to test it myself as I’m pretty good at telling whether an item is worth it or not. From my experience I can say this, I understand why people complained about the smell, I’ll be honest and say when you first spray the bottle, it does smell like complete doodoo, BUT, when the smell settles in and airs out, it really DOES smell like a new car. So yes be aware that at first it will smell completely terrible probably from how strong the scent it, but with time and after you let it breathe a bit, I promise it really does end up smelling like a new car!

What others have said is true - this 100% smells like new plastic. The same smell as if you open a new DVD, or new electronics like a new Xbox or Playstation, or sometimes a new desk fan, or those electric air dusters, etc. It is spot on, like absolutely the same smell.While that is not entirely the same as a new car smell, obviously that is close and a similar scent, and also a component in what makes "new car smell" the unique scent it is. I am so impressed by this product, I'm going to try and mix a spray of this with other scents to see if I can truly nail the new car smell, but this will get you 80% there.What I do want to tell others reading this review is that I cannot express how exactly this smells like new plastic from the factory. Selling and old computer or something? After cleaning it up, seriously dab a bit of this in the corner, and you'd have no idea it wasn't new. I cannot stress enough how exactly this smells like new electronics/plastic that my wife who rolls her eyes at these things was shocked at how spot on it smelled.I am not someone who likes car scents or air fresheners at all, I like an absence of all smells altogether, normally. Being a fan of this company's products though and it not being expensive, I decided to give it a try after a full deep clean that included removing the carpets for washing etc which left the car with literally no smell at all. I think to truly achieve a real "new car smell" you'd probably want to combine this scent with maybe leather or other scents that I haven't tried, and/or the smell of cleaners like glass cleaner etc. This has certainly converted me from "no smell at all is better than any smell" to "Okay, maybe a little fantasy smell" is okay.I will repeat what others have also said: You DON'T need more than a single spray of this. It's strong, and too much will ruin the illusion. And since you only need a single spray, this is pretty close to a lifetime supply. Highly recommend for the skeptic to try; I think you'll be shocked that someone out there finally nailed the smell of something new, even if it's very specifically new plastic smell.

This is just my personal preference of course. I really like the new car scent and it lasts an amazingly long time. Wasn’t a fan of the leather scent. Doesn’t smell like leather and the scent doesn’t hang around as well. You don’t know until you try the 2 scents so the dual pack was cool at that part, so now I know.

Great stuff!! Both scents smell great but I love the new car smell scent! It is the closest I have ever found to the actual new car smell! I think you will love it!

Speaking of the new car smell version (green/black spray bottle), this stuff is strong, but I wouldn't call it 'new car smell'. It does however smell *exactly* like Griot's 3-in-1 leather cleaner/treatment, if you've ever used that. Even persists on your skin after using it just like the Griot's... very hard to wash off the smell, and I did also get some lung irritation after spraying it... advise gloves and light duty respirator/mask. Just a couple of sprays will do ya.

Bought a car that had a smokey smell. Followed the instructions and the smell is gone. Been about a week with some hot days and still dont smell it. Only complaint is right when you spray it and the next couple days it smells kinda weird. Definitely doesn't have a new car smell but the car doesnt smell like smoke so thats a plus.

I have a 2018 Fiat Abarth Spider. It only has 11,000 miles on it. It looks like new inside and out, but the new car smell has faded. Ugh! I like a car that smells fresh and clean. I don't want floral, musky or kitchen fragrances in my vehicle. Seriously, there is nothing like a new car smell. I always wondered why no one bottle that smell. I found Chemical Guys New Car Smell Premium Spray and thought I would give it a try. Instant fan!!! I don't know what else to say. I sprayed it and thought wow, how cool is this. I forgot about about applying it, opened my car door to go to work the next morning and was immediately surrounded by that mesmerizing new car smell. I have mats over top the original car mats and that Is what I spray. I don't spray my cloth/leather seats. I can't give testimony if the product would leave any type of stain or spray marks on fabric. I found spraying the carpets works for me and provides a great smelling vehicle. A little goes a long way. I just purchased my second bottle and it will not be my last. Kudos to a great product!

N ew car smell was a little different. I spray in my vehicle over 2 weeks ago and still smell the scent.
