New Car Smell Air Freshener and Premium Odor Eliminator Refreshes & Neutralizes Odors, Great Car Fresheners for Trucks, SUVs, RVs, and More - 16 oz

When first applied it tends to smell like TCP/disinfectant. But once it settles it does have a 'new car scent'. In 2025 I am still using it in my car and I love it. It lasts for ages. I spray it under the front seats and it banishes other odours for weeks

I recently purchased this New Car Scent Air Freshener, and after hearing a lot about the company and the quality of their products, I was excited to try it. Given the premium price, I expected a high-quality experience, and I wanted to give the chemical guys brand a chance. I seen mixed reviews online, with some people commenting that the scent is more like plastic or medicine, while others mention it smells like a new car and the best they’ve used. I’ve also seen some videos online about how great this product is. Which was why I thought to give it a try. Given my experience, I found the product to be quite different from what I expected and heard about. Unfortunately, I have to say I was quite disappointed. The scent does not resemble the fresh, new car smell I was anticipating, when I first smelt it I was confused, I thought maybe the smell would change or there must be a mistake in what I ordered.., it has a very antiseptic, dentist like smell, which is quite off-putting. I only sprayed a small amount on the floor mat. I even gave it several hours to see if the scent would change, but it still reminded me of the smell I experienced during a root canal treatment, which was not what I had hoped for.. I have had better air fresheners for a fraction of the price I had high expectations based on the reputation of the company, but unfortunately, this product did not meet them.

I had my car cleaned and the mats were left damp. This caused a stale smell to develop. I cleaned my car again and thoroughly dried the mats. The smell had left the mats but remained in the car. I sprayed a small amount onto the passenger side mat and set the air con as instructed. Three weeks later and my car STILL smells like new from that initial application. Only a small amount is needed. My suggestion would be to use a very small amount, if you don't notice much difference, use a little more. You shouldn't need much and it should last a good while.

First things first, this is NOT a 'new car smell'....but it is the closest you're going to get on the current market. To best describe the smell I would say open a new supermarket carrier bag, take a whiff and times it by ten. Yes, it has a very new plastic smell. Personally I like it, it smells 'new', it smells clean and sanitised. If you are looking for something perfumed be it a cologne type fragrance, bubblegum-esque or little tree type air freshener then this is certainly not what you are looking for. Think of it more as a deodoriser rather than a fragrance. The spray bottle and trigger is of good quality, with no leaking on application. Speaking of application, you don't need much at all. I squirted a little under the dashboard on the carpet and a little under each front seat along with a few squirts in the boot area. The smell is a little TCP like upon initial application but subsides after 24hrs to that new plastic smell. I've only had the product for a couple of days so can't comment on the longevity but I would wage a bottle will last you at least a year as you really don't need to use much, in fact I'd say less is more less you overpower your nostrils! To get that truly off-gassing new car smell, it needs a touch of new rubber added to the scent but overall I'd say its pretty close. So you like those putrid cheap cherry/fruity/vanilla air fresheners, stay clear of this. If however you like that artificial, synthetic, sanitised smell I'd say go for it.

I bought this as I love the chemical guys products, everything I have had I have found to be amazing I cleaned my wife’s car on the weekend, and thought I would give this a go over my Autoglym, and when I sprayed I immediately found the smell to be vile. I thought maybe this was something that needed to settle, nope, the vile smell just mellowed. My wife got in the car and asked why I had spilt TCP medical solution. I replied that it was the ‘New Car Scent’ she laughed and said it was certainly not a new car scent, and said it’s 100% medical. I won’t use this again so it was a waste of money and would suggest if your looking for a medical smell for your car, this is your product, if your looking for a new car smell, this is very much not it. What a shame! Back to Autoglym for me

Either I have covid or this is useless as an air freshener. Has a very slight smell of what I can only describe as tcp disinfectant. And that's spraying it on a tissue and holding it less than 1cm from my nose. Can barely smell anything and certainly nothing like any new car I've ever been in. 15 quid for 450ml of green water and 23ml of tcp mixed in, I would have got more of a new car smell by going to a car dealers and wafting some of the air out of a new car into mine, absolutely useless and would not reccomend unless your bored of burning money and need a new way of getting rid of it. Update a couple of weeks later : After percevering with this as others have said the smell does become a bit more noticeable and improve slightly over time. I still would say it's far from a new car scent but isn't as terrible as I 1st said, It's more of an industrial kind of smell which does linger for quite some time. If used in combination with sonething more fragrant like a cherry or lemon hanging air freshener I don't mind it and it is slightly reminiscent of a new car with an air freshener in.

Oh, dear Amazon, let me tell you about the party animal I have in my car - it's none other than the Chemical Guys New Car Air Freshener! 🚗🎉 From the moment I sprayed this magical potion of "New Car Scent," my vehicle transformed into a funky dance floor!

It's like my car is saying, "Hey, remember when you first brought me home? Let's party like it's 1999!" 🎊 People keep asking me if I installed a hidden club in my car because it smells THAT good! The Chemical Guys must have sprinkled some magic dust in this bottle. Every time I open the car door, it's like I'm stepping into a car carnival! 🎪🎡 And oh, the compliments! My friends now prefer riding in my car just to experience the scent-tastic extravaganza!

It's long-lasting! I sprayed it weeks ago, and the party's still going strong. Who knew a car freshener could be such a dedicated entertainer? 🎤🎵 In conclusion, my car is now a star-studded nightclub, all thanks to the Chemical Guys New Car Air Freshener! It's an epic fiesta on wheels, and I can't help but grin from ear to ear every time I open the car door.

If you hear loud music and laughter coming from a passing car, it's probably mine. Apologies in advance for the spontaneous dance-offs at stoplights! 😂🚦

Considering some of the diametrically opposing reviews on this air freshener, I wonder whether there isn't a 'bad' batch of it kicking around somewhere, sent to unwitting customers. I had/have this awful barnyard smell coming through the air-conditioning and decided to take a punt on this product. I followed the instructions as per the video only to be left with a smell infinately worse than the barnyard - so bad in fact that it made me gag and I felt queasy for the next few days every time I got into the car. There are lots of these sort of thing on Amazon and I was tempted by the idea it eliminated rather than masked the odeur and it was meant to be a new car smell rather than some sort of fruity thing. Well it doesn't have a new car smell (certainly not any sort of new car I've ever been in) and thank goodness it doesn't last forever and after a week or so I had my lovely barnyard smell back again! One reviewer has commented that this product smells like a chemical toilet - I've never smelled a chemical toilet before but I'm bound to say I think he must be right - buy it and you'll see what I mean! Fortunately, I was able to return it to Amazon for a full refund so I'm not out of pocket and will stick to those little cardboard air freshener trees you can pick up at the supermarket!
