    New car smell

    Anyone know of a product that gives that new car smell? I have tried several and none of them "really" smell like a new car.

    The new car smell is called out gasing which also causes the blue hue on the windows on the inside......However I have never seen a product that can recreate that smell.......I`ve smelled some leather sent ones that are OK....for me I use PB Natural look in the vents and a spray under the seats and love it so do my customers

Its the closest thing that i have ever seen for that new car smell.

    I bought a bottle of this:



    ...over the weekend at WalMart (new car scent). It was only a couple bucks for the 8 oz bottle. One spray under each seat and it smells great.

    I dont think that you will ever get anyhting that smells like new cars.. I was told by someone that the smell comes from the ordors released from the new plastics and leather things inside the car.

    You could buy new interior.......that will give it the odor you want (Ok, bad joke). Anyway, I`m with you when it comes to recreating the smell. I am selling my 2000 Jetta and wanted to smell up the interior to give that new car affect to it and can`t find anything that works.

    That new car scent is a dressing of some sort. I remember working at at Mercedes Dealership and they had this stuff in a 55 gallon container.

    I had the opportunity to try this out the other day. IMO, smells nothing like a new car, but rather a powder type smell. Does a good job at masking odors..

    I tried the ozium New Car from Auto Zone then Walmart , I returned both it smelled like dry cleaning chemicals and smelled up my car for 3-4 days.

    The Reg Ozium does not smell like new car but it will nutralize the odors leaving the car with a fresh scent.

    Re: New car smell

    I`ve always liked Ozium New Car smell to recreate that scent. While it is really hard to recreate the toxic fumes that new car smell actually is, I think this product does a good job.

    Many new cars are eliminating this smell due to the problems it causes. My `05 didn`t have any smell in it at all. I was kind of disappointed, but that`s ok. As soon as I got it home and conditioned the leather it smelled like new leather anyway. That is even better than new car smell.

    If you wanna create the toxic fumes then your on the right track with New Car by Ozium

    1) Who manufactors Ozium?
    2)Do they have a web site.
