New car smell?

What do you recommend to make an old car smell JUST LIKE a new car (leather interior)?.... for the jokers, without buying a new car!

I think I bought something called Dashboard restorer from Halfords years ago.

It made your dash bright and shiny and I think it made it smell like a new car too.

My original question was for my old car. So today, i've had my brand new car delivered this morning. It is a Lexus IS SE, leather seats etc. with delivery miles (9 miles), but it does not smell like the car show room display car. Anyone in the trade know what they use (or is it a secret)?
Don't fancy hanging a tree in it.
Thanks

ask your local car dealer what brand of cleaners there valets use. i'm sure they'd be happy to tell you if you compliment them first!

I think i know why my new car (9 miles on clock) doesn't have that "new car smell"...because it's NOT a new car !!! Went out at lunch and noticed the tax disc expires 31/08/09, so the car has probably been in a field for the last 2+ months or so. I got it on contract hire, so not too bothered if it's a pre-reg or not!

most new cars are stored for months and in some cases years before its sold.
