Default Interior BEST SMELL stuff

Gents....

Nothing better than sitting in a new car and smelling the new interior

Now our 30 year old babies lost that smell many moons ago.

I wash my 1980 vette. I clean the inside using McGuire products.
It smells clean alright but what do you guys use to have a great interior viny / leather odour ?

What about the rug shampoos outhere ? What do you recommend ?

I recently used a very good product AutoGlym Odour Eliminator. I don't know if you get that there, but there should be similar products available. At least in my Suburban it worked nicely and got rid of the older car smell it had developed over time. They suggest to spray it on the carpets. I haven't used it in my C3 yet, but I will.

I like Zaino Z10 Conditioner. Leather in a bottle, if you have leather. Smells of factory fresh leather.

Use it with Zaino Z9 Cleaner.

Great stuff.

Reminds me of a quote from the movie Christine...

"My axxhole brother bought her back in September '57. That's when you got your new model year, in September. Brand-new, she was. She had the smell of a brand-new car. That's just about the finest smell in the world, 'cept maybe for @#$%^."

Great stuff.
Not quite like new car leather. More raw like baseball mit leather.

I still haven't found anything that smells like new car other than putting pieces of leather scraps in the car.
