0 Canadiantowman Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 when it's warm out my truck has it's own bottle of cologne, once it starts to get colder I switch to the tree's. Little Trees that's all I ever use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 the1inblue Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Haha little trees. These are used by 9 out of 10 drug smugglers, lol. I love seeing these when im at work. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bigaudiofanatic Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 I just want something less of a dangling item and more of a under the seat thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 J Tegeler Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I will check what brand they were, but I had some that slide way back in to the vents and sit flush with the vent. You dont even notice them there unless you look for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DAVE SXT Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Once my new car smell goes away, I use a dryer sheet under each seat. Not very powerful nor overwhelming, and does a great job and smells good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tjcin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 If your car has leather, I know of a great spray scent of genuine leather. PM me if interested as I will not mention the manufacturer on Adam's forum. I do love his products, but some things, like scents, just aren't in the stable. Hint, hint Adam?

0 Z71_Denali Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Adam's Leather Conditioner is all the scent my cars need. smells just like a new car after application i used to use the little scented trees, and set them underneath the passenger seat.

0 Sardian Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I like the way the APC smells. I wish Adam's would come out with air fresheners that smell like some of their other products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bigaudiofanatic Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 I got my squash air freshener, I got it not only from the recommendations but I remember the guy I did work for in Cali had one in his car. I will give it a few days and see what I think of it. As always GF and friends opinions count as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BUCKET Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 if you can find them, mid summer nights dream by yankee candle. I used to get these by the hand full and would put one under each front seat. Smells awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 tjcin Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hey Bucket, the Yankee Candle thing was probably best kept to yourself. I don't even know you, but I can picture you driving around with George Michael's Careless Whisper playing loudly and your ride smelling like Yankee Candles. Try Adam's Leather Conditioner and play some ZZ Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 diver88 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 sounds crazy, but I keep a jumbo pack of Juicy Fruit Gum just under the edge of the seat in my 96 Chevy p/u and it smells like it did when it was new..particularly on warm days. I said it sounded crazy, but it works. I discovered this by accident some years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bigaudiofanatic Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hate it or love it, I found a air freshener that is as close as it gets to the real new car smell. It is from chemical guys and I think its pretty close to the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chewy Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I love there stripper scent but it doesn't last to long in the truck. What does a stripper smell like? I use nothing in mine. Leather cleaner and conditioner is enough for me. I drive it every day and don't have an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Marre Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I used to have a Squash air freshener, which I liked a lot. Kind of smells like bubble gum or maybe cotton candy. Last about 2 months. Comes in a container that sticks under the seat or on the carpet and when the smell is gone you can just get a refill for it. Not cheap, but it does last, and getting just the refill costs less. They also have other scents, but I have not tried them. Anyway, a lot better than a hanging tree or a vent type, which not only don't last, but look silly. Especially in a clean and detailed car.

Question
bigaudiofanatic
I know this has been talked about before. But does anyone know if a GOOD scented freshener? My new car smell is finally gone and I have been looking at the JDM fresheners.
Air Spencer CS-X3 (Refill/Unit) Air Freshener
Any ideas other than the old fabric softener sheet?
