How long did yours stay smelling new? I'm going on 4 months and 5400mi. I don't carry food in my car, I put it in the trunk when I pick up lunch..lol. I don't ride with the windows down and I always have the air on recirc. What about you?

Always good to have one of these hanging around the mirror for your passengers

After a couple of months I stopped by a Taco Bell. No I didn't get it to go, I ate it inside but that ride home was offensive. I about made myself sick.....even with the top down. It was unlike anything I have ever smelled. I thought about taking to a valet parker just for shits and giggles but I think they would have carved out a special place in hell if I did that. Still to this day, I'll open my glovebox or release another trapped pocket of air and relive it all over again. I fear that it will never fully leave. I may have to sell the car and buy another. Anyone interested?

I'm only on four months and it still smells new. Glad to see some of the longer times posted in here.

Keep the leather clean and conditioned. The most important thing is NO PASSING GAS!

Camarowguy · 08-16-2011, 06:52 PM

I have cloth.....

Guyute · 08-16-2011, 06:54 PM

Smoke a bunch of cigs in it. It helps keep it smelling freash.

22,000 miles and it still smells new according to my passengers (I can longer smell the 'new car smell'). And I've driven with the windows down, hauled food home (but never eaten in the car), even had a German Shepherd in it at one point.
