I’ve got a lobby wall full of air fresheners at the car wash. Over the last couple decades I’ve seen brands come and go. The popular stuff changes over time. I think we’ve sold it all at one time or another. Nothing better than actual new car smell. I wish I could exactly reproduce it and put it in a bottle. I’d be rich.

I use a spray called "Odour Gone" . It removes any odors in the truck but leaves no scent. I found using just air fresheners, they combine with the smell your trying the get rid of. I have used it for years when driving all over western Canada. It takes out that stale smell you get after a long drive. I only found it at truck stops and it is getting harder to fins.

My favorite is a clip on from Febreze in the Orange Bourbon scent. I have to keep the adjustment dialed all the way down or else it gets very powerful when the front vents are on fan speed 6-7.

Fruity and manly at the same time. That way I don't offend anyone that gets into my cowhide covered interior. Who am I kidding........I could care less if I offend anyone, that stuff just plain smells awesome.............maybe like Sam Elliot decided to open an orchard next to a distillery.

I bought an ozone generator off Amazon for about $30. Does a surprisingly good job both in the car and around the house. Once you get the smells out, your favorite leather cleaner conditioner can do it's thing and bring back something close to new car smell.

I like it. The 2 they put in was 1 too many. But I'm tempted to buy more.

When I had it in my 09 it was only 1 bit ot was perfect. Smell it when you got in and hints here and there throughout your drive and not overbearing .

Use Ozium as @Adjutant recommends, or an essential oil.

Synthetic fragrances (as used in Febreze, Glade, Old Spice, Axe, etc., etc., etc.) are basically poison to the human body that is excused because it is used in such small amounts.

Yet these days it is used in everything.

Do you really want to be breathing this and rubbing it all over your body?

Besides, once you go with a natural oil like grapefruit, mint, etc. for a while, you will realize synthetic fragrance actually smells sh*t.

Do yourself and your family a favor and give it a try. You've nothing to loose!
As a retired distiller of essential oils, I wholeheartedly agree. Mind you, I can't bring myself to insert any other aroma while the "KR leather" aroma it came with still lingers ?

This.
I have a few ozone generator units in my business.
Our Expedtion can really stink after awhile due to kids and all their shit.
Clean and ozone it, all smells gone.
Just be careful, ozone in a small cabin for too long can cause damage to the plastics etc.

Back in the day I found air fresheners that smelt like the cologne cool water. It smelt nice and wasn't overbearing at all. I could only find it at auto zone then one day couldn't find it anymore. Then in 2010 I bought an f150 and the dealership when detailing it put a little green sachel in it that lasted for a good while smelt good too.
What recommendations do you have for a nice clean smell not overbearing for the truck. I just like a hint of smell not slap you in face when opening door.
Febreeze great smell availble t grocery stores
