    Default decent car deodorant/new car smell

    The Mini and the Zafira both get used for allotment duties/taking to stables, picking up from stables, and tend to whiff a bit from time to time, particularly when its hot and the windows are closed.

    is there a decent product available that wil actually deodorise the interior, and not just briefly mask the smell liek air fresheners do- prferably one with that "new car" smell that dealers seem to achieve.

    Good clean and hoover, and get some carpet cleaner on any mats that can be taken out, I recently used some turtle wax foaming carpet cleaner which worked well plus some AG interior spray which smelt nice if a little strong when it was in the car.

    Well we have a machine that plugs into the cigar lighter called a "restorator by vaportek" can't remember where from or how much, but leave it plugged in overnight and your car will come up smelling like roses (without the manure!)

    Hopefully when you find out the price you wont need a 'respirator'
