    O.T.

    I agree about the combination of adhesives resulting in that unique brand new smell. Last week we have a job at Toyota Sta Rosa plant. At that time they were assembling Camrys and Innovas. As I walked along the production area where they were assembling doors, I noticed the sweet smell of a 3M brand adhesive above the others. Not sure actually kung 3M yun pero kasing bango nun. Needless to say, the whole area smelled like a brand new car, hahaha

    ang sabi sa akin ng showroom sa upholstery daw at leather nanggagaling yun scent of a showroom. Nakakaadik nga e hehe

    Wag expose masyado sa outside air ang interior ng car. Avoid opening your windows when driving puro pollution kasi.

    Air fresheners are the worse things you can put inside a car. What you're pretty much doing is putting perfume on continously to all the interior surfaces of the car. Think of it as a person putting on perfume/cologne daily without bathing.

    Over time, the smell starts to turn into something else and it'll form fungus and people try to counter that by putting more air freshener to MASK the odor.

    Pasama lang ng pasama.

    The more you do this, the more ineffective air fresheners will become since the odor will now be more concentrated, the stronger the odor, the more it cancels out the "scent" you're adding.

    Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to get rid off all the smell in a short period of time. The odor has already stuck itself on all the upholstery, plastic and air conditioning paths in the cabin.

    Once you start using air fresheners, your cabin will almost never smell fresh again until you clean the interior thoroughly again and again, airing the interior out until the smell gradually goes away.

    Eventually, it'll smell like a cab.
