Drift stone freshener x2. One on each visor.
I like the monthly special packs but most are very good.

Ive only used Tesbros cleaning solution since it's so mild and subtle smelling and I still have the new car smell after 18k miles. I do not use any air freshener whatsoever as I do not want to prematurely rid the new truck smell.

Mmm…mmm..:mmm offgassing plastic. I didn’t like how this car smelled new at all.
I generally do like new car smells but the Cybertruck was something different I didn’t care for.
Different strokes I guess

It used to be called "Stripper Scent"

How long does the scent last?

I purchased a FS with 12k miles on it and can't get rid of the faint cologne smell. It's not offensive at all but just noticeable. I've wiped down all surfaces and suppose I should swap out the cabin air filter next.

I use two. About 3 weeks. I change them once a month but by the end it’s still nice but faint

Ahhh “Stripper Scent”… smells like cheap perfume and after smelling it and looking at your scratches on your truck, it makes you wanna “rub one out”. See? No more scratches!
