Mbud, Its just a hunch, bought do you own shares in Walmart.
At a guess thats around 3 times you've mentioned them in various posts?
Are you on commission with Walmart?........lol

Lol Mbud.......thought so.
I gotta say though I use Asda quite a bit, be surprised at some of the stuff they offer.
Like the Jumbo sponges for sale in Auto stores n Garage forecourts for £1.50 - £1.99.........they sell em for 35p!
I'll have 6 please........lol
Air fresheners, Wet n Slick tyre sheen is the cheapest I've seen there too, along with Back to black and the like.

Yeah, like Fabreze, good product with a nice smell to it.
Also like Magnolia air freshner from Asda and Vanillaroma majic trees - do the job nicely!

Jim C

 

Jeez, what the hell do you guys need air freshners for???

Jag's smell pretty good with out any artificial help!

 

OMG Mbud...............Michael doesn't use air fresheners?

I use them Michael cos I like a nice fragrant and pleasant smell in the car that I travel in. The new car smell, leather etc only keeps for so long, no matter what you do.

Cheers

2004, 29k miles, still smells like a brand new car inside. the key is to never eat or smoke in them.

 

Nineball's got that right!

 

Nineball........I totally agree!
However, I live n breathe in the real world and its not that easy. Trust me I keep my car lookin as great as possible, no eating or drinkin 4 sure, and the odd cigarrette.
Even with your method I still think it needs sumthin after a while. you know?

Helps if you clean it regularly! I try to apply leather conditioner every time I stop sliding around on the leather I wipe her down.

 

Lol........Helps if you clean it regularly!...........I washed n dried, vacuumed the interior and did all the windows inside n out as well as the dash, vents etc etc, all the door shuts and blackened the tyres 4 times last week!
Too much time on my hands I think!......lol
But - I like my car to be at its best all the time, or at least as often as is reasonably practical.

I use the Connolly hide care and cleaner. Between using the Connolly's I use Pinnacle Leather Cleaner and Conditioner.

 

Just by regularly cleaning the interior, the new car smell goes away because leather conditioners, armor all, and soups and what not have their own smells that make the new car smell fade.

I need air freshners often tho because in the winter if I do not have time to clean the interior every weekend, my 93 gets musty because the foam under the carpet gets wet occasionaly even with my rubber mats. When that foam gets wet than there is an odd odor, that isn't very bad, but air freshners smell alot better.

 

For sure 93x............for sure

Geez, My 93 XJ40 still has that lovely leatheresque uniquely Jaguar smell, and it's easily refreshed by regular applications of Jaguar Hide Food leather conditioner.

 

Im brand new to this site, but I will put in my $0.02. I had leather seats in my mustang for 12 years and they looked great, soft, perfect, right up until a 4-wheel drive truck ended my mustang's life. I used a product that I used to get at a boot store called Lexol, its great, I can't imagine anything working better. The skin on your hands even feels soft after you use it. I have recently seen in in stores in the auto care section, so I guess that its starting to gain some popularity.

 

SADDLE SOAP as used on horse saddles is all I use and my interiors on my 89 XJ40and 90 XJS are still like new!
