[WICKED50LTR]

Hmm, im not sure how to make a smell, but fabric cleaner and ozium sure get rid of a smell... I hear febreeze works, but i wont belive it..

If you have fabric seats you could take them out and fill your bathtub with new car smell freshner and lets your seats soak, I bet that would keep them smelling that way for some time...

Shampoo your capet and seats if they are clothe , with one of those machines you can rent or if u own one. and febreeze works for a little while, but i dont use it much!

If you have leather seats, use Tannery (black can, found at Wal Mart)...makes it smell like new!

Don't bring food into the car, ever. Whenever we have leftover food in a styrofoam box, it goes in the trunk. No eating, no smoking, no drinking (except water).

This is tried and proven. My spousal unit's car still smelled new after 3 years.

no farting or burping either.

...now i know why my car smells so bad...

the lazy way, take it to the dealership for a good detailing. Talk nicely to the small chinese man that runs the shop, he'll do a good job. Learned that lesson myself!

You and I think alike...to the T! Even the leftover food in the trunk!

My stang's an '03 and before I bought it it was a rental car and it still smells like new! I know that I wanted to get some of that stuff to keep the new car smell in it but that carp smelled no near to a new car smell. So I agree with propellerhead no food and smoking but I know that there HAS TO BE SOMETHING TO KEEP THE NEW CAR SMELL!

My car smelled awesome up until like a month ago, when I made and installed a fiberglass enclosure in the trunk for my sub, now my car just smells like fiberglass all the time, it kinda sucks, but I am getting used to the smell of fiberglass...
