Chemical GuysAIR_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!

Not all Chemical Guy products live up to their marketing hypes but this product surely does. Finally my BMW has a rich, true expensive leather scent. Much better than those little cards that hook to your rear view mirror that don't last more than a couple days.

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.

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.

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!

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.

What can I say?! I thought it was impossible! The new car smell...they combination of factory produced plastics smell combined with that aroma of fresh leather...Chemical Guys have done it! They have achieved the IMPOSSIBLE!This is LITERALLY new car smell, or to be honest, new car smellS <- PLURAL ... right!? it's NOT 1 smell! It's factory plastic smell with chemical leather production smell!This kit combines the two smells perfectly! The green one smells just like plastic off a factory line....yep chemically as hell! The second smells like treated leather...yep also chemically as heck!Put them both together and....YES...your car will literally smell like it came from the factory!My advice, spray the green spray on the floors and the yellow/leather sprays on the ceiling/roof. There is no better smell!

This is a great spray, and truly smells like a new car would. I had previously purchased dozens of those "new car" pine tree things and a spray of the same brand name and while they smelled nice, failed to really capture a true new car smell. That is not the case with this spray.I am meticulous with car cleanliness. I take it to the wash weekly, and detail it at the same time. The need for a "de-odorizer" simply doesn't exist but that's not a bad thing, just not a feature I purchased this for. The smell however is spot on, and truly makes the car smell like it's straight off the factory lot.So what's the huge drawback? Well, the spray bottle is a bit heavy-handed. After giving my interior a few solid sprays on each seat, I was shocked when I got back in my car and little dried spray spots were all over my wheel, and console. They came off easily, but I quickly learned you want to be right up on the seat when you use the product to avoid over-spray. This created quite the dampness on my seat, and as I used it in the vacuum station of at the car wash, I was forced to drive off with my clothes getting wet, soaking up a new car smell.The Chemical Guys nailed the smell on this spray and I do recommend it. One bottle should last you far longer than those little trees do, and after a good spray, I also found the smell to be pungent, and it lasted for close to a week. Overall, a great purchase, but please do be aware that you don't want to spray it anywhere near something that isn't cloth, unless you want water-marks.
