dougless Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have to admit that when I saw the thread title I thought it was started by someone who shares my sensibilities. I simply don't understand car air fresheners, never have done. A friend tried one of those dangly traffic light things back in the seventies and the general consensus was that the stale old mini smell was preferable. What do you all do to your poor cars that they require this kind of treatment?Perhaps its a generational thing, I do like cars to smell like cars. New cars, old cars, cars with leather upholstery, they all have their own character and an 'alien' odour just seems to be all wrong to me. Our loop has a nearly new car smell, our Golf has that slightly 'aged' smell that takes me back to years spent driving air cooled cars of various vintages and states. my Beetle still manages to smell a bit like it did when it was nearly new, which was a long time ago.There has only been one car that I have travelled in that its 'natural' smell was really too much for a mere mortal to cope with. This was a new Lada that a clueless, when it comes to cars anyway, friend of mine bought. This Lada had a smell that was so unpleasant and chemically, I could only think that the materials used in the interior had not been cured properly. The smell never left this car despite his best efforts to destroy it, the car, on numerous occasions.I will watch this post with interest as I really had no idea there was such a demand or need for these products. I always learn something when I come here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowey Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Unfortunately the scent of 'new car' has worn off before the irony , So I'm dangling a Spice instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_225 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I tend to stock up on Magic Trees when I'm in Tesco so get em cheap. I like the Vanilla or Strawberry. They did the Black Ice ones for 44p at one point so stocked up. I tend to swap them over every few weeks so I can actually smell it inside the car when I get in. If you want something different try the Jelly Belly ones you can get in Halfords, they do the cardboard ones or the gel ones, either way they smell nice. Or try buying some Autoglym Autofresh, you spray it onto the seats/carpet and it basically freshens up the smell inside. Do that once or twice a week and it'll always smell nice.
