Default Chemical Guys Leather Scent

hello everyone,

For members who tried CG Leather Scent, could you tell me how long it usually last? I've tried their cherry scent, and it barely lasts a day or two...so wondering if there was somekind of upgrade on longevity..

TIA

I have the leather scent.....doesn't last very long 1-2 days max.

It does smell like leather though

I bought the gallon size and have a sprayer in th trunk for my own car. (For a pro I think it probably wears off too quickly.)

I have a gallon of it as well and i am very disappointed in the longevity of the scent, and it also spots bad in my opinion, like on my cupholders and such if i spray it up in the air, how are you planning on using it? I spray down from the seat so i dont stain anything, i sure hope its ok for carpet. I tried diluting it at first 1:1 with water cuz its pretty overwhelming, naah dont do that just use it full strength....it lacks durability big time..smells awesome though!

It definitely isn't as strong after a few days but still a faint smell. I put two sprays under each seat of my car 2 weeks ago and I can still slightly smell it, I love it.

Try the "wonder Wafers" leather scent.

I guess I'm different from ya'll guys. I can smell it a week after using it in my wife's car. The reason is that I'm not in the car for about that long, and if you stay in the same car your nose gets use to the smell and you don't smell it anymore....

If you want the scent to last long..get a small jar like the sample wax jars..they are about 3 oz and fill with cotton...and add some of your favorite scent to it....just enough to dampen the cotton...not soak it....drill about 8 small holes on the top and then stick it under the seat and refresh as needed...I find it lasts a long time that way...
