"New Car" scent

[sauman]

how can i make the interior of my car smell like a brand new car? I've tried calif scent "newport new car scent' pero iba pa rin ang amoy ng brand new car e. May can spray ba na nabibili para sa ganitong amoy? Any ideas?

there's no way to renew the smell of a new car... that odor you smell is actually the plastics and vinyl inside your car's compartment emmitting gases from their "curing", so to speak...

Maybe pag nare-finish na yung mga vinyl parts with a fresh, new vinyl surface, that smell will reappear, but that's highly unlikely coz reuphosterer's vinyl rolls probably have been fully cured already...

Exactly what gives rise to new car

Exactly what gives rise to new car smell? The answer, not surprising to chemists, is a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), primarily alkanes and substituted benzenes along with a few aldehydes and ketones.

Nearly every solid surface inside a vehicle is a fabric or plastic that is held together in part with adhesives and sealers. Outgassing of residual solvents and other chemicals from these materials leads to a dilute sea of VOCs floating about in the passenger compartment. The same holds true for new airplanes, homes, and offices.

I don't like putting a car interior air freshner... It tends to be too strong when you leave your car under the sun for a while and if your air freshner is empty, the interior will start smelling musty and bad. This is expecially true for those gel type air freshners.
