Default Want to keep that new car smell forever in your S?

I've seen countless sprays, scents, etc. that claim to give to be that "new car" smell in a can. Well, they don't exist and don't smell anything like a new car.

Well, I found something that smells very real and does the job. This may be the best $2 you ever spent!

The thing that gets me is, they show a picture of a candle labeled "leather" but they don't even make it in a candle, just for the car tree. If you like the way it smells, go to the "contact us" and request they make a candle.

My S, still smells new, but I tried this in my 4Runner and it's like the day I bought it. I don't smoke in my cars and am very fussy, but that new smell doesn't last forever. I highly recommend this and wish I thought it up first.

I found mine at a Hallmark. Chime in if you bought one or after you try it out.

These things are actually pretty nice. I would find a way to conceal it though, wouldn't want it to hang from the mirror, the car is called "cute" enough as is! HAHAHA

Yea, I would never put it on my mirror. I hide mine under the seat.

To get the real smell, you have to keep putting new leather things in your car
