How many times do I have to tell you to get the dead hookers out of the car immediately. You have any idea how many people get caught by the smell of the body?

mythbusters proved that the smell of dead is impossible to get out of a car.

i recall the episode specifically because the guy that bought it(that made it plausible to sell the car after said death) said the only reason he wanted the car for parts was because it had an LS1. had mythbusters picked any other car with a less popular motor, they never would have sold it.

Been in a few brand new Subarus just off the delivery truck and they all smell the same. Don’t know what they’re doing different at the Gunma plant but whatever it is their vehicles are not arriving here with new car smell

i sat in my car after it went through PDI but before detailing and it didn't have the new car smell. By the time I signed the paperwork it did. It took forever to get rid of it.

I use the Chemical Guys New Car Smell. It has a nice new car scent. Just don't spray too much.

The cheap consumer units available don't do anything but make lots of noise and pretend to work.

A good steam clean/extractor vacuum with one of those at the end gives fantastic results.
Without access to the latter the extractor is a great. Made my interior fabric look new again.

This is the filter I buy $11 every year or so.
