New car smell!!!!
Actually kinda. I bought some mats today for winter, The "Car and Driver" Special. They're about as high quality as the material in the magazine. But they'll match, and look decent. My mats are fair enuogh to save, and after a run thru some MSU Mankato washing machines i bet they'll be nice and new. Then i'll get a carpet cleaner and do the interior, and VOILA.
They do have a new car smell though, kinda nice late at night... Anyone else got a way to get new car smell back?

Comes in a bottle, check the local auto supply store. Some jipo car lots put a bar of dove soap under the seat. Unless the car leaks, then it'* kinda funny

there is a bottle of "new car scent" spray that meijer carries that is very good. most do not even come close. i have leather seats though and my car smells like leather. keeping it very clean will make the car not gather oders. also if you smoke do not use the ash trays.

I've always found that spilling a quart of malt liquor on the floor in the back gets the car smelling REAL good. This little trick works better in the summer when the sun can bake it real good.
Seriously though, I use leather scent. Beware of car washes that offer "scents" as an option. They always seem to end up somewhere between "french *****" and "lysol" after the yahoo making $4 per hour get done dousing your floor matts.

Keep a dead sqirrel, lightly saran wrapeed to prvent stains, under the passenger seat. Covers up the smell of smoke and whatnot, plus, it keeps passengers from hanging around too long...

I like a strawberry scent, the vanilla gets too overpowering.
