Car Forum / UK Car Forums / General Car Topics (UK group) / July 2009That "new car" smell
Just bought a nearly new car from a garage. For the first week or so, every time I got in, I was struck by the new car smwll, but now it's beginning to fade. Is it one particular cleaner or polish that gives it this smell, or what?

The stuff they use simulates the new car plastic outgas smell. > Just bought a nearly new car from a garage. > For the first week or so, every time I got > in, I was struck by the new car smwll, but > now it's beginning to fade.

I want to know what the valeters put on alloys, mine had this invisible but greasy to the touch stuff that kept them looking great for ages, its washed off now though.

I saw some "high mileage oil" in ASDA - ASDA value/budget range, 20W/50, about £4 or so for 5 litres. They know their market. In other news, a mechanic I deliver to had to replace an 80k-mile engine that had been run on "oil for high mileage engines". That's why I pay something like £30 per 4 litres for 5W/40 fully synth for my Sprinter. And that's got a proper high mileage engine - 206k and counting.

Same here for the Ford, the Cologne engine came with a warning that cheap oil would carbonise and foul the oilways so it's always had 5/40 synthetic, currently stuck on 180,000 miles because I'm not using it as much as I used to. I just love that smell too -- Exchange and Mart > I just love that smell too! I hate it. I'm currently driving a nasty, plasticky, gutless, steenking Pug 207 hire car paid for by another driver's insurance while my proper car's off the road. I seriously believe that unpleasant modern cars like this are the main cause of road rage, crap driving, stress, unpleasant attitudes and bad f.cking language. And if it bleeps at me one more time, I'm taking the wire cutters to it. On a more positive note, the cheque from the insurers arrived yesterday, so I won't have to put up with this for much longer. >> I just love that smell too! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > On a more positive note, the cheque from the insurers arrived yesterday, > so I won't have to put up with this for much longer. Could be the stuff the cleaners use on the hire car. |
