Sad day today. I noticed after the JT had a particularly full day of property work and hardware store visits, doors off of course, the new car smell is officially gone. JT also received a fine layer of dust throughout the interior today. Man I love this truck. Best vehicle purchase I have ever made.

What do yā€™all use for a wipe down on the interior? Im thinking a simple damp microfiber cloth. Lots of cracks and crevices to clean out as well though.

My Gladiatorā€™s new car smell was gone when I farted in it on the way home from the dealership.

Griotā€™s Garage interior cleaner, leather cleaner, interior detailer. Expensive but excellent. And donā€™t forget the pine tree hanging on the rear view mirror.

Well I would suggest getting a bottle of 'New Car Smell'

But if they have to grind up 1,600,000 roses to get a kilo of rose oil, I would hate to think how many new Gladiators they would have to grind up to get that! šŸ˜³

Almost one year old and mine still smells new. The top has never been off, no dogs, no smoking, no French fries. But, I have farted in it.

I used to use an interior cleaner to wipe down everything. I found that a micro fiber cloth and water work just as well. I stopped wasting my money.

I vacuum the interior, then blow it out with an air hose, then wipe everything down with a micro fibre cloth and Armour all. Well, everything except the cloth seats. I have the wet suit covers on them.

Not so sure I really want the "new car smell" to linger forever - it's mostly the fumes from the new vinyl, dyes, plastics and other parts. I've cleaned the inside of the glass on some new cars and the film you get after a few weeks of that stuff letting loose from the interior materials - I think, and I'm BREATHING that stuff?
Not as bad in the JT - but some cars with large fat dashes, clean the glass after a few weeks and see what you get - that same stuff is in your lungs.

I take this to heart but I think the guy whos fart overshadowed the chemical smells on the way home from the dealer is probably in worse shape ...

I will not ride with a person who can fart and undo 100 square feet of vinyl and plastic smells in one fell swoop. I thought there were international agreements against gas warfare.
