Get in an 80's Mercedes / Porsche.... they smell just as "fresh" as the day they were new

My '98 smells like leather and motor oil.

Ah once you smell napalm you NEVER forget that smell. Same as a DOA. Gets ingrained in your brain.

My 991.2 GTS had probably the same smell you’re describing for the entire time I owned it. I actually really liked it - it was very unique to that car. Maybe I’m weird.

I agree, Zaino really does give it that new car like smell. I have been using Zaino for at least a decade.

I guess I deserved your comment. I should have said "I have been using Zaino on my automobiles for at least a decade." And, by the way, I meant what I said about Zaino. Really good stuff.

Agreed. I've been using it since 2006 through 2 Caymans and 2 911s
