Where to get that GM smell?

***MCummings*** · 03-03-2008, 08:52 PM

Ever since I was little, (Am I still little?) anyway,

Ever, well, For a while now, I've always loved the smell of a brand new GM vehicle, Ford and Dodge don't even come close to the smell of a new GM.
That smell just smells so NEW.

Open the door, and take a whiff, and I smell a large factory, new glue, and new fabric, a plethora of smells awaits me for the first few weeks of ownership.

I've tried alot of those "new car" smell things, and nothing comes close to opening the door of a few day old GM vehicle.

Can anybody help me with that? I don't like the "cherry/leather/grape/vanilla" or whatever smell that you can buy in a can or spray at walmart.

I need Genuine, GM, new car smell, LOL.

HELP!

Merrick

oh yah, different manufactures smell different. An F-150 smells different than a Crown Vic, and a King Ranch smells different than a Focus.

The Dodge's all pretty much smell the same, just ehh, they smell like febreeze, but a GM, WHOO, Hop in a Corvette, or a brand new 1500, and ahhh, the smell just takes me back. Definatly feels new, and I feel pretty good for paying somebody half a house for this vehicle I just bought.

If you find a way to capture the smell and bottle it, let me know. I'll be your first customer.

On a hot day use Meguiar's Quick Detailer Interior and then throw in a piece or two of fresh leather from leather shop somewhere and place a few dabs of black rtv silicone on it. This is what a dealer does to his Corvette's that were brought in on trade and had been smoked in. It works suprisingly well....not sure how long it lasts. The pieces of leather don't have to stay in the vehicle.
