Here is my review on the new car scent protectant.
All photos taken with my iphone.
I purchased the bottle

This was applied on my 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. The dash is textured.
I started off by removing the remaining Natural Shine that was on the dash. I taped off and area to give a 50/50 of the appearance of New Car Scent Protectant. I applied the protectant using a foam applicator.

50/50 shots. As you can see this does darken the dash and has more gloss than Natural Shine.


Some after shots on various surfaces. I lightly buffed all surfaces after it sat for a few minutes.


Doh the finger got in the way.

Smooth and textured plastic

On vinyl

Now it does have the new car scent when I was spraying it onto the foam applicator. So you get that new car scent nostalgia. It's not a strong scent. At times the scent came off a little too much like a chemical scent. It reminded me of the scent of Mothers VLR's chemical scent at times but not as strong. After I applied it I did not notice the scent any longer. I will let it sit overnight and see if there is any lingering new car scent. To me the new car scent protectant does not resemble the scent that the new car scent air refresher odor eliminator has. I will post up how long it lasts as I will be leaving it as is with no wipe downs to get an accurate idea. I will also post up any glare issues. Although with the textured dash that has never been an issue even with Ultimate Protectant.
