Anyone who is a Smoker or has bought a car which the previous owner was a smoker, you NEED to buy this product!!! I bought a car that reaked of Cigarettes and I bought the Leather scent to spray inside. After detailing the inside with Armor all AND cleaning the upholstery, the car STILL smelled of Smoke. I sprayed a few shots of the Leather scent on each floorboard and on the seats and closed the doors. The following weekend I opened the door to take the car for a car wash and WOW!!! The Cigarette smell was COMPLETELY non-existent!! I highly recommend and I just purchased another batch of 2 bottles. It took me over a year, with 3 cars, to use it all up. LOVE THIS STUFF!!!

Impressed with the leather smell it’s long lasting and people compliment the pleasant scent. Read more
Smells more like cleaning product than a new car.. It lasts a while though and if sprayed sparingly it doesn't smell too bad. Read more
Several years ago I found a new car smell that was off label from Walmart or somewhere. Loved it so much and I was totally bummed when I ran out. Took me a few years to finally find it again. I was literally that weirdo in the aisle at every auto parts store and Walmart smelling car scents until I got dizzy. FINALLY! I stumbled on car guys. Also doesn't hurt that they are one of the best suppliers of quality detailing products out there. Very happy to support them with my hard-earned money. Now, I realize this is totally subjective and everyone is going to have a different opinion, but I get compliments all of the time and people are constantly asking me what it is and where I got it. I've probably turned a dozen people on to this. They do sell a smaller sampler size that also comes with a leather conditioner. My recommendation is to get that one first and give it a try to make sure you like it. Hopefully you will love it as much as I do! Read more
My car hasn't had "new car" smell for several years, and the best substitute I could find was a questionable cleaning solution used by a local car wash that rapidly faded into an unpleasant odor. I was looking for something fairly long-lived that would offer a pleasant fragrance without a heavy floral or artificial tone. The Chemical Guys are one of the few companies on the market offering a liquid spray air freshener rather than a gummy gel or a felted tree of some kind, so I purchased this hoping for an alternative. Shipping and delivery were quick, and I soon was spritzing my car. The smell isn't the same as "new car," but it does have a solid, clean quality that falls somewhere between a new memory foam mattress topper and vinyl. A fainter undertone to my sensitive nose comes off almost woodsy, like when the wind turns in a pine forest. When undiluted, the smell can be a bit strong, but the strength wears off after 30 minutes to an hour. The mellow fragrance stays subtle and unobtrusive, doing its job to freshen up the car and remove traces of unwanted odors. I wish it stayed stronger because I enjoyed that first whiff and the transition. The bottle contains a generous amount of air freshening solution. Dilution (at 1:1 to 2:1 ratio of water to air freshener) can lengthen the life considerably, depending on how large your vehicle is and how saturated you want the scent. I intend to try a 2.5 or 3:1 ratio to see whether that modifies the scent much. Adding a cup to the carpet cleaner when washing the interior upholstery is also very effective for getting the scent. My main beef: it doesn't last that long. I feel the need to reapply in my car fairly often to maintain the beneficial effects, while your mileage may vary with a smaller vehicle. Do NOT apply this directly to upholstery or plastic without doing a spot test first. The fabric side of my door got a direct hit and I can still see the outline 48 hours later. Time to pull out the carpet cleaner and do some deep cleansing on the affected area. The Chemical Guys instruct owners to spritz in the air, preferably in a restricted, out of the way place. My cargo hatch and under the seats worked very well. The gentlemen at my usual oil change place also apply Febreeze and air freshener products like this directly to the cabin air filters, though I don't know whether this is recommended. Read more
Smells SO good in my husband’s car. Scent doesn’t last as long. Read more
I use a Silverado EV for my plumbing company and keep my sewer machine in the back of the cab. It smells after use, strong. This product eliminates any of those odors. The inside of my truck smells like a leather shop. Highly recommend. Read more
It smells more like a men’s room Oder coverup. It’s ok. Just not the “new car smell” I was hoping for. Read more
