Looking for a nice air freshener that last more than a week.....

I read chemical guys have a " new car" and " leather" set that smell good but mixed reviews on length of time they last.

Just looking for some feedback. Don't want the ones that go in air vents. Want something I can throw under the seat or a spray.

I love chemical guys new car smell, its the best air freshener sent for a car IMO. But the scent only lasts 3-4 days.

I have the CG trio...New Car, Leather, and Stripper. I prefer the Leather scent. Regardless, none of them last very long. Week at best. I usually kept the bottle in the vehicle and sprayed whenever I remembered.

For the most part, though, I've resorted back to the Little Tree's.

Keeping a fresh Little Tree has been my best Go-To

I've had good results with Zep Commercial Smoke Odor Eliminator.



I little goes a long way and it lasts.
Two quick sprays on the floor mats (pleasant scent)and it lasts for weeks.

Or there's always...
Chemical Guys - Stripper Scent Premium Air Freshener & Odor Eliminator




I'm not sure long this one lasts...

I buy them in packs of 4 (Black Ice scent).
Last about 2 weeks/put a fresh one in every 2 weeks.

IIRC This stuff is designed to "eat" odors.
I have had good results using it in "smokers" vehicles.
Please let us know the Zep smoke odor eliminator longevity.
It's not "Nu Car" and it does not have a Fru Fru disguise smell.

There are other alternatives like a Ozone Generator or Auto Vaccine ClO2 car interior odor eliminator.

"Other chemicals such as ozone can also physically change odor-causing chemical compounds (get rid of them). However, ozone is also very reactive with many non-targeted materials, such as dust in the air, fabric, and plastic and metals that are in the surrounding environment. Because of these non-targeted side reactions, more ozone may be needed for a particular job in order to maintain a level high enough to react with the odor-causing compounds. Additionally, aggressive side reactions can damage areas being deodorized with ozone. Ozone also requires the use of sophisticated machinery and electricity."

I'd try Zep smoke odor eliminator first to see the results.

I buy those air freshener trees in packs of 6, they're like $3 and change. I put 2 different smells in my truck, change them out every week or two. I can't smell them anymore so I think they're not working, but you just get used to it.

I was actually talking about this with a buddy today and he said "oh I could smell your truck from 10' away when you opened the door", I couldn't smell anything. I use pure steel and black ice, everybody says it smells great. I also keep my vehicles very clean, no trash so that helps.
