I'd love to find out what you all are using to keep your interior smelling good. I got my moms Tahoe after she got a Yukon, and she treated the interior rough. Smelled like Bath and Body Works every time you got in! Since then, I have been on a quest to find a good "Leather" air freshener. Right now I just have the Leather Air Freshener Trees you get. I sometime mix the Leather Trees with Meguiar's New Car Scent air freshener grenade they sell. Works pretty decent to get that "New Car Leather" scent back. Anyways, what do you all use? Any people here who work at dealerships able to post what you use to give a 10 year old car that right off the assembly line smell?

Check out thechemicalguys.com

Their leather cleaner worked really well. I followed up with their leather conditioner after.

It's just chemicalguys.com. no the at the beginning lol. But I'm a detailer and I use their leather products just about religiously. I love their leather conditioner. Good protection and it smells fantastic after a good scrub down and condition.

theOops.

I should also mention, RUN away from any product that has a cleaner and protector combined. I didn't know anything about cleaning leather and tried one of these products first. The protector locked in any remaining dirt and it took a lot of cleaning with the "Chemicalguys" cleaner to cut through the protectant. Other areas that I had not treated with the combined cleaner/protectant cleaned up much easier. It's worth ordering the large jug of concentrated cleaner. I used the stuff at full strength for my first cleaning. And get the brush too. I just bought a horsehair shoe polishing brush from Walmart. I can pretty much hear the *gasp* from Chase, but it worked well for me.

And yes, the leather conditioner from the Chemicalguys really does smell nice.

I went a different route.

I prefer for my vehicle to just smell clean, so I tried a Moso Natural Air Purifying Bag from Amazon. It's a charcoal based product that comes in a linen bag. You just leave it in your vehicle (or bathroom or closet, etc) and it literally absorbs and removes odors, moisture, pollutants, alllergens, you name it. Quickly and completely. You'll notice a difference in a few hours or overnight.

Again, it does not add any fragrance; it REMOVES all odors. You let it do its thing for about a month at a time then you "recharge" it by laying in direct sunlight for an hour.

This product works. The inside of my Tahoe has zero smell. It literally smells like nothing. I love it.

Generic pine tree in coconut. The California scent cans are good too but can't find them up here.

Probably the 200 gram bag is good for a car/truck interior.
Wouldn't work at the moment as we have zero sunlight or daylight right now here lol
