    New guy needs help choosing air freshener

    Hi There!

    I came across this site a few days ago, very impressive knowledge base!

    My question is - My truck (see signature) is starting to loose that "new car smell" - fresh leather, etc. I try to keep up on most of the interior/exterior detailing myself, and have the truck professionally detailed once every couple months. I use this truck for my business, and we also raise horses so it gets a variety if different smells introduced into the cab every day.

    Is there any product out there that I can use to bring back the show-room smell? I really like the fresh leather smell that the truck had when new, and don`t particularly care for the smell of "new car scent" air fresheners available from Wal-Mart, etc.

    Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    I think Premium Auto Care (www.premiumautocare.com) has some new air fresheners, and they are really inexpenisve.....like -$6 for 32.oz?

    Don`t forget your 10% DC discount, or if you order before tomorrow, it`s 15%! WOW!

    My man, you are my new best friend!! I am so seriously looking at a Powerstroke right now. Killer website also. I have tons of friends down here in good Ole` Georgia that have diesels, so I will definitely pass the word on!

    You should have seen all the trucks down here at Country Fest last night. 50,000 people at Hi-Fi Buys concert grounds to see Lonestar, Gary Allen, Rushlow, and Phil Vasser. Probably 4 trucks for every car. I`m no redneck, but it sure as hell is fun to see a big group of them! Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney coming up in a month; those tailgating parties will be nuts!!

    Welcome,
    You might want to look at this link, it may be a starting point for you. I haven`t ordered my air freshener yet, but I am planning on ordering it from Dwayne @ PAC

    Thanks Nick!

    We actually ship a few products a month down to Georgia. The "mod bug" hasn`t quite caught on down there yet like up here though.

    I`ll give Premium Auto Care a call today!

    How long does the scent usually last, and do I need to use a deodorizer in the truck 1st?

    I seem to recall a thread that stated 4 Star`s Ultimate leather conditioner (cleaner?) had a nice "leather scent" to it. One post even said that was the product of choice as an air freshener on a customer`s car when they came for washes.
