You may have read about the AMAZING gift a friend gave us – a new car! (You can read our New Car Story here in case you missed the story.)
Thankfully our friend cleaned the car and gave it to us in immaculate condition, but one of the issues of having a used car or an older car is that they lose that “new car” smell. And let’s face it – if you have a family, you probably have a car that has some … um … “interesting” odors.
I recently discovered a new product that can help you solve this problem. It’s called the PERK Vent Wrap and it’s quite ingenious.
The PERK Vent Wrap slides onto your car’s air vent and discreetly delivers just the right amount of fragrance using the new StediScent® technology. The unique design of the PERK Vent Wrap is a unique vent air freshener that allows air to flow through the vent normally and allows you to adjust the vent without any problem.
The vent wraps come in packs of 4 with each one individually packaged so that the wrap holds its scent until you are ready to use it. Once you’re ready, just open the package and slide the wrap onto the vent blade and you are ready to go.
One wrap lasts around 2 weeks, so a four pack gives you 60 days of odor free driving and they come in five fragrances: Lush Valley, Absolute Zero, Golden Vanilla, Clean Laundry and New Car.
The folks at Perk sent us 3 fragrances to try – New Car, Lush Valley and Clean Laundry. My husband loves the product and especially the New Car scent. I am personally over-sensitive to fragrance (I rarely wear perfume), so I found the scent a little stronger than I would like, but the fragrances were all pleasant.
If you would like to try the new Perk Vent Wraps, you can purchase them at Advance Auto Parts, Walmart, Target, and other retailers that sell automotive air fresheners. You can also Like PERK on Facebook.
Just for fun, PERK and I are hosting a giveaway of 6 months of PERK Vent Wraps!

My car was flooded over two years ago, my father – recently retired at the time – decided to help me out and deep clean my car. Even though he did a good job, my car still has a unique smell after it sits up a day or so. I cannot afford a new car, so this would be a great way to start the warmer months in my car (which smell the worst!).
I share a truck with my 17 year old lacrosse playing son. It smells like sweaty butt all the time ü
I would love to have the smell of a new car! Especially, since my car is fourteen years old!
I’m the lady who also got a surprise vehicle last November (on my birthday!!) that was an answer to literally YEARS of prayer … This precious van that is 12 years old needs to last a few years for us – and I hope to keep it looking and SMELLING good for that time period!! 🙂
With a 14 year old car smells just happen… And with one child not quite finished potty training and the other still in diapers there are those lovely smells that linger no matter how quickly you get the dirty diaper out… I would love to try this product.
My car is only a couple of years old and does not smell bad, but it no longer longer smells “New.” I would enjoy trying the different scents!

I would pass these along to my in-laws. They help us on our ranch, and haul all kinds of nastiness in their SUV. I cringe when I have to ride in their vehicle, it reeks of manure, hay, dirt, and all kinds of yuckiness.
Hi, I’m Robyn and my car stinks. Not just stinks but, REALLY stinks! My car is a gym locker, gym bag, fast food restaurant, shoe closet…..thanks to four athletic children that smell hideous. When asked to clean said car the four children decide instead to spray at least half a can of Axe body spray in hopes that this will be considered “cleaning”. I have tried numerous vent clips with no luck. So, I would love to try Park Vent Wraps.
I have a 13 year old car with a 7 year old and a 3 year old girl. No matter how well I think I clean it, it never smells good! I would love to try one of those.
I do not notice the smell because I think I am accustomed to it because I am in the van everyday. My husband only rides in it on Sundays and every time he gets in, he makes a face and shakes his head. He can’t describe the smell to me in any way other than “I am sure something has died and is rotting under a seat”. I have looked. I have vacummed. I empty the teeny garbage that is in the car. I do not find anything that can make it smell.
Maybe it is the fact that we have hundreds of inches of snow and below freezing temperatures and there is something is in the carpet so when the the heat/defrost are on, it is warming the stain up???? I am not sure, but he hates to ride in the car because of the smell. These would be a perfect treat in his Easter basket 🙂
I plan to oxy-clean all the carpeting if we ever get to have warm temperatures to try to permanently remove the smell but these would be perfect until then and based on our snow total…it maybe 6 months before it is gone.
Mine smells like milk ive been told by my husband! 🙁
Oh–we could definitely use that, my daughter had pneumonia a couple of months ago and threw up in her car seat the entire drive to the hospital…After MUCH cleaning I still get a little whiff of vomit every time I drive it. Yuck.
That is the WORST Megan! Hopefully that smell is gone soon.
