Leather smell from my non-leather interior

smallseafishie · 06-03-2008, 09:52 PM

It was hot outside today! I got in my car and smelled leather! It was the oddest thing since I have leatherette. I must have looked like an idiot because I was sniffing around the entire car. I came to realize it was the ipod pouch under the arm rest!

hahahahaha

Sometimes I crack myself up!

I have ette. When its hot out, smells like leather

ALPINE6SPD · 06-04-2008, 08:19 AM

I am always in new cars being that I sell BMW and it sux because I dont know what a new car scent smells like. I odnt even smell it anymore. When we got my wifes car a few weeks ago I could not even smell it was a new car. Very weird.

Are you sure you didn't have new shoes on?

Nope, I was wearing my old adidas classics.

It wasn't a strong smell, just faint enough for me to recognize it as leather.

Maybe I should just put a big piece of leather somewhere in the car so I too can enjoy the smell of leather!

LOL!

That's a bit extreme

You could check out wonder wafers (new leather scent) air fresheners. Just slip a couple of scent wafers under the seats and your car will smell like a leather shoe store in no time.

Yeah I was kidding about that. The last thing I'd want is the smell of leather coming from a can.

GreenThree · 06-04-2008, 04:16 PM

Rumor has it that Zaino (leather in a bottle) is the best at preserving the true, leather smell. Not buying it.

Plus, not that important IMO. Its a car, cars get used, the new smell goes away

StarrDlux · 06-04-2008, 05:31 PM

when i test drove the 135i it smelled like ganja i thought it was the leatherette

AJerman · 06-04-2008, 05:38 PM

There are all kinds of leather products you can get that will make your leather continue to smell like leather, and your leatherette smell like leather too. I don't know what the absolute best is, but I enjoy the smell of my car after I treat it with CG Leather Protectant.

nhhiep · 06-08-2008, 03:34 PM
