That New Car Smell

The "new car smell" considered by many experts to be somewhat toxic to breathe without adequate ventilation for about the first 6 months of a vehicle's life, is caused by the chemicals used in the manufacturing process plus any number of "aroma engineering" enhancements added during that process to make the vehicle more appealing. Read the downside of the new car smell. HERE Once it fades, it's pretty hard to duplicate. There are several air freshener companies that give it a shot however. In my opinion, the best out there is Ozium. They make a spray called New Car Smell that does a decent job of making a car smell pretty good. I always use it when I am selling a vehicle. Roll up all the windows, close all the vents, spray a heavy dose inside and slam the door shut and leave it over night. It will last quite awhile. You can get it for a couple of bucks at any auto parts store or deparment stores like Walmart.

GM has engineered something into the leather in the new Cadillacs and select Buicks that has the 'new car' smell. It's supposed to last for YEARS...
