Default Good Product To Scent Interior?

I'm tired of the damn "Little Trees" air fresheners and the compressed scent spray things, they always last like a day. Is there anything that gets sprayed into the carpet or something that smells really good and actually lasts for a while? I like the inside to smell good

Thanks guys!

I have these things that clip in the air vents, VERY small, black, and everytime the ac is used, you can smell it and it fills the car.

I had a friend that was checking out my head unit and he didnt even see them, then he finally saw them, didnt know what they were, and said they were stealthy.

My only problem with that is I don't run my AC often, lol. I've been at car dealerships and when you open the door to one of their cars its like POW! Smells awesome, I wish I knew what they use..

If you want that smell, you need new seats, new carpet and new headliner.

New car smell.

A good cologne always works....a few sprays and shut the door and let it soak into the materials, then roll em down and let it air out some...usually works pretty well.

I use the little "stealthy" vent things. they smell good. even with the ac off and the windows down I can still smell it. They last pretty long too.

I have a couple of dryer sheets under each seat.

The wife came up with this one. They smell real strong.


Yes, it's kind of lame. . . But it works.

^I've seen auto sheets like that before, and other things to put under the seat.

and I wasn't talking about brand new car smell, it was a used dealership that used some vanilla scent. it smelled great.
Well I sprayed in the car on the carpet and closed the doors, lets see if this works!
If not i'll get the AC vent things, thanks guys

I don't really care for "unnatural" fragrances in a car. I prefer a clean scent. I use Meguiar's Interior Quik Detailer, which has a light, fresh scent, but it's not something long lasting.

I can't link it because they're not a sponsor, but do a Google search for 'Wonder Wafers'.
Or, if you can figure this out, www dot wonderwafersonline dot com.
You can buy some thru Ebay too.
I use the 'Leather' ones & they work great for few weeks.

The local oil-lube business will throw one in your car after a full service. Fools ya into thinking they did a really bang-up job of cleaning.

No, I didn't find this out personally. A friend of told us about it, so I went in there & they simply gave me a hand-full.

Black Magic Pro Shine Protectant. It's one of their vinyl conditioners. I use it every time I detail my car and every time my brother gets in after a detail he wonders how I keep my car smelling like it just came off the dealers lot. I never have, nor will I ever use any type of artificial scent in my car. Keep it clean and she'll stay smelling clean and new.
