Chemical Guys AIR_101_16 New Automobile Odor Premium Air Freshener and Odor Eliminator, Lengthy-Lasting Scent, Nice for Automobiles, Vans, SUVs, RVs & Extra, 16 fl oz

works for smoke
Bought a car that had a smokey smell. Followed the instructions and the smell is gone. Been about a week with some hot days and still dont smell it. Only complaint is right when you spray it and the next couple days it smells kinda weird. Definitely doesn’t have a new car smell but the car doesnt smell like smoke so thats a plus.

Eliminated lingering odor in my car.
I can see why people dislike/complain about the scent. However from my experience I do sense the artificial “new car smell” even if it’s subtle. It gets a 5 star because I had an unknown lingering odor in my car that no other product could eliminate (particularly affecting my AC when turned on). After first time use the odor has completely disappeared without the need of repeat spraying the car down. Now I just use it to touch up every few weeks

100% 1:1 the smell of new plastic
What others have said is true – this 100% smells like new plastic. The same smell as if you open a new DVD, or new electronics like a new Xbox or Playstation, or sometimes a new desk fan, or those electric air dusters, etc. It is spot on, like absolutely the same smell.While that is not entirely the same as a new car smell, obviously that is close and a similar scent, and also a component in what makes “new car smell” the unique scent it is. I am so impressed by this product, I’m going to try and mix a spray of this with other scents to see if I can truly nail the new car smell, but this will get you 80% there.What I do want to tell others reading this review is that I cannot express how exactly this smells like new plastic from the factory. Selling and old computer or something? After cleaning it up, seriously dab a bit of this in the corner, and you’d have no idea it wasn’t new. I cannot stress enough how exactly this smells like new electronics/plastic that my wife who rolls her eyes at these things was shocked at how spot on it smelled.I am not someone who likes car scents or air fresheners at all, I like an absence of all smells altogether, normally. Being a fan of this company’s products though and it not being expensive, I decided to give it a try after a full deep clean that included removing the carpets for washing etc which left the car with literally no smell at all. I think to truly achieve a real “new car smell” you’d probably want to combine this scent with maybe leather or other scents that I haven’t tried, and/or the smell of cleaners like glass cleaner etc. This has certainly converted me from “no smell at all is better than any smell” to “Okay, maybe a little fantasy smell” is okay.I will repeat what others have also said: You DON’T need more than a single spray of this. It’s strong, and too much will ruin the illusion. And since you only need a single spray, this is pretty close to a lifetime supply. Highly recommend for the skeptic to try; I think you’ll be shocked that someone out there finally nailed the smell of something new, even if it’s very specifically new plastic smell.

Strong smell but exactly as described and lasts long.

They smell good, but the smell does not last very long. Tried some YouTube advise to spray them under the read footwrlls efc but still have it use a a lot of the product.Would buy it again because the smell is nice.

This stuff is awsome. Smells more like a cinema than new car but that’s all good. Better than cigarettes which it got rid of after one use. I will be buying more.
