Hey everyone. My 2000 323 Ci has lost that great leather smell. What can I buy to "recreate" that new car leather smell?

I use a product called Zymol and swear by it. I got a 2000 and still smells like new. Start with the Zymol leather cleaner and then use the Zymol leather conditioner. It also has a slight oil base so it shines up the seats and hides any wrinkles very well. Good luck!

Thanks. Anyone use Zaino Bros Z-10 Leather in a Bottle?
Never heard of it, but I must say, that chamois idea is pretty clever! Might have to try that one myself.

What color is your interior?

I ask that because I had a '95 with a tan leather interior (that was destroyed in Hurricane Fran) and replaced it with a '95 with a gray interior. While I was the second owner of the gray one, it just never had that baseball glove smell. I noticed the difference in the new ones. Must be the dye???

I have the black interior. You might be right. The smell is caused by the tanning process which could be a different process for each color.

I'll find a way to fake it. The "Leather in a bottle" seems to be getting good :beer reviews.
