Snake is smelling a bit Funky

[Andrew/USPWR]

Had a few problems with the Viper, so I hadn't driven it in a few weeks. I had it parked in my garage with windows up and now that nice little body panel composite smell you get when you first get in the car. The one that reminds you your in a Viper. Well it a bit stronger now. Like you can't drive it with the windows up. Any ideas to get that new viper smell back?
I was considering having the seats reupholstered to get a stronger leather smell in the car. I’ve even tried stuffing pieces of leather under the seat and buying a leather tool pouch for the back. Has anyone noticed a more distinct leather smell after have their seats reupholstered?

air ir out at 120 MPH?

Get some Zaino leather conditioner - believe it is Z-10. That should do it!

Steve:

I can tell you exactly what it is! It's your spare tire. Get rid of the tire and you'll get rid of the smell. Took mine out, conditioned my leather, no stinky or funky smell. Now tell me, would you really mount that spare if you had a flat. Yea Right

Did I hear someone say that they want to smell Leather in a Viper
Let me know and I will get you fixed right up. You will smell leather for the life of your car.

Spare tire? Seriously? I know, I like not to put that 50 mph tire on my Viper, But if I'm in the middle of no where and can't get help. I'd be happy to have it.

Chad, I'm looking do recover my seats in a black higher quality leather, but still look completely stock. what cho got?

I'm with kgrif. But he has a Viper not a Vette, air it out at 160 not 120!

Zaino Z-10 Leather In A Bottle, as mentioned above. Says on the front of the bottle "renews leather smell". This manufacturer claim is actually true, IMO. Great stuff.

 

[Blue Pilot]

Andrew, I think that 2 tone grey and black of Chad's would look great in our color of cars. Let me know when you have it done!

 

[Miles B]

If it is the tyre, maybe get it shrink wrapped or put in some kind of huge zip lock bag?

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

that's what I was thinking Miles B.

Blue Pilot, I'm scared. You first.
And I'm still thinking all black. A stock look but better. The question is should I do the center console and door panels?

 

[GCHDEALER]

Andrew you have PM!! Just left it. You guys don't be scared I don't bit.

[Blue Pilot]

Andrew, I think I would go with the seats and door panels and leave the center console alone, but that is just my opinion. My seats are still in great shape but when they start to go I will be calling Chad.
Chad, I am not scared , I just have 2 kids in private school and a wife that wants a bigger house

 

[ViperJoe]

Manny Moe and Jack stock "new car smell" in a can!
There ya go!

LOL!!!!!!!!

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

why wouldn't you do the center console Blue Pilot? I have my reasons. One being the shift boot fits even worse with the leather on it than it does stock. But I do like seeing the whole [******] pit wrapped around in leather. Gives it an Aston Martin feel and look.

P.s. Blue Pilot, flew with a pilot friend of mine in a Lear 55 yeasturday. What a ride.
