The dumbest detailing spray ever

Dan- Heh heh...good one :D Whiskey is another thing I don`t like smelling (though at least I do like the taste of that compared to beer). I bet such fresheners seem like a *really* good idea when the nice LEO pulls ya over!

The Air Freshener that sticks in my mind was from Turtle Wax in `76- a green plastic turtle that smelled like, uhm...a nice chem lab I guess, good in that PD/Aromatic Hydrocarbon/ "this can`t be healthy!" kind of way. My 16YO self thought it`d hide the fact that I was smoking in my (nonsmoker) father`s car :o

I`m still all about my vehicles smelling like what they are. Even the older ones, even the 18YO dog-hauling Tahoe. When I get into some vehicle that smells like an "applied scent" I want *out*. But then I can`t stand the New Car Smell of some of today`s vehicles either; don`t think I`d enjoy a new Audi for that reason alone.

I love the smell of a car the way it comes too but I keep ending up with smoker cars for some reason. And I am alergic to smoke and hate the smell. I`ve been reasonably successful in getting rid of the smell though. A deep cleaning and time seem to do a good job. The latest car might have me getting an ozone generator.

I miss the awesome scent of my B7S4. That car had awesome leather recaros.

After pulling off the door panels while installing a stereo and seeing the pure nicotine left behind by the previous owner I wonder how anyone can get rid of the smell. I have seen many chemical and other devices said to remove the odor but is that really possible? I had an uncle that smoked 3 packs a day of unfiltered Camels (and lived to be 82) and above his favorite chair the ceiling was brown from cigarette smoke. The central air was full of nicotine stains. I always wondered how the next owners of the house got rid of the smell.
 
Some vehicles retain smoke odors a lot more than others. NOBODY can ever notice that we smoked in our Audis and the Jag, but if somebody has one cigarette in a Crown Vic I`ll smell it forever (nobody smoked in our current one).

Dan- Yeah, the Audis still smelled "right" during the B7 era, but they started getting, uhm...different...soon thereafter.

Be sure to get a *good* ozone generator. I like my AirZone, but it was kinda pricey.
 
Beer, really! As said, just what you need the car to smell like if you get pulled over.

Those scented trees reminds me of a friend of my brothers that had to light one on fire, well actually smolder.

If I had saw they had the fresh cut grass scent I would seriously think about buying it. The only thing I like about mowing grass is the scent afterward especially if there is a slight rain afterwards or when you cut in the evening and the dew sets in. I also like the scent of fresh cut alfalfa.

Since we are on the topic of scents. A while back I was in Walmart and picked up a tub type scent called Refresh Your Car(just looked it up), cool breeze I think it is. Smells kind if like carnauba wax. I really like the scent.
 
Not necessary but nice to smell something in the vehicle then no smell at all. It has turned to an ice brick so not much of a scent now.
 
I like my strawberry and vanilla poorboys deodorizers. Those scents make sense. Lol

I`ll start offering the beer and stripper scent to my customers and call it the "ultimate dog house" package. Hehe

I too like PB’s strawberry and vanilla scents. They are the ones I keep on hand. Can’t lie, I do have some Stripper in the cabinet too. ;)
 
They are on a roll...

Ok that one I may be interested in lol

I`m wondering do they do focus groups prior to releasing these? I mean there is a cost associated with creating, bottling etc. There has to be people who want these scents.

I’m waiting for “10 day old McDonald’s bag” smell.

What would be your most outrageous scent idea?

I`m kind of the same way, for some cars. Well, my Hondas (and formerly my `67 Chevy) at least. Something about that odd, old scent that gives me some sort of comfort, or something, when I step into them.

I liked Strawberry so much, I went and bought the gallon. Haven`t tried vanilla. Their Cherry is okay, too.
 
Some vanilla scents remind me of Cosmoline..the old "Comblock Vaseline" version.

Yeah, scents are, uhm... memory-evocative. When I get in Jag I`m still young and immortal.

This had me thinking about the plant in a city that is about a 2 hour drive that makes french fries fries for McDonald`s. The smell is delightful. I would consider getting that scent but the bad thing is I would drive around smelling it and craving some french fries or a Big Mac all the time. The other bad thing is living in a rural area the closest McDonald`s is 50 miles away so I would go bananas not being able to feed the craving.

McDonalds French Fry smell would sell out. It still bothers me that they now fry them in a non trans fat oil. Now they taste like cardboard. Chick-fil-A fries are the only ones I can stand now. The FDA needs to stay out of the food business. If they can still sell cigarettes, alcohol, and Coca-Cola they should be able to sell a decent tasting French fry. I’ll kill myself my way.

I haven`t had McD`s in a while but the last time about 2 years or so ago the fries were still tasty here. When I drive that 50 miles to my hometown to do a little shopping I go eat the the China Buffet. I love that food and even though I think about McD`s Big Mac`s and fries the most for fast food, well Wendy`s ranks up there, I have to go to the buffet as I only get there once a month or so. They were talking about putting in a McD`s in our small town last winter but nothing ever became of it.

PS, yeah this restriction that they can`t sell 24 ounce bottle of pop, or super size meals and such, and now they made the bottles 16 ounce for the grocery store and 20 ounce in the convenience stores but yet I can still buy more than one or a 6 pack. Go figure!
 
Govt. Serving Size Restrictions- What if every officeholder who ever supports such nonsense loses all voter support because of it. Every one, every time. Support such stuff and you don`t get the vote or support. Period. No matter where they stand on anything else.

Wonder if the majority actually prefers the nanny-state...wouldn`t surprise me.

I wonder what percentage of those making those dumb laws is actually obese. I`m not, and I like the choice of what I can consume. There is nothing like a nice big bottle of coke after some hard work. Those stupid 8oz bottles/cans are a joke.
 
Dan- Yeah, and what are they thinking, like people won`t buy two or something? I have two cans of soda a week, basically not at all impacted by such regulations, but I can`t stand the idea that somebody somewhere assumes such authority over other, presumably free, people. And to think that those twits get *paid* to do that!
