How do you keep the new car smell?

I just bought a new car and I know it’s silly, but I want it to smell like this for as long as possible. How can I retain the new car smell?

The new car smell is definitely fantastic! While it will eventually fade away, there are several ways to keep it around for longer than usual. Here’s what to do:
  • Keep your car free of garbage.
  • Don’t smoke in the car.
  • Keep the car as dry as you can—don’t leave the windows open, and make sure to use floor mats.
  • Buy and keep an air freshener going at all times.
  • Protect, clean, and organize
    your car as much as possible.
  • Vacuum regularly.
The cleaner your car is, the easier it will be to keep that smell!
If you want to make sure your new car has all the protection it needs, you might want to review your car insurance policy. To do this easily, check out the
