Extending that "new car smell"

Does anyone have a good product to keep and extend the new car smell in a Type S? I used Zaino Brothers products to wax and polish the car and it turned out fantastic. They also have a leather product for the seats. But do any experienced TL owners have a product that they like that keeps that "new car smell" going?

Most leather cleaners and protectors will keep you close as possible.

But in my case, it just took a few farts and that was it ............ no more new car smell.

Never open windows and when getting in and out of the car, make it FAST.

.....and don't fart.

When I traded my TSX in after one year, it still had that fresh plastic and leather smell. The dealer even commented on that when I traded it. So far my TL is holding up the same way.

I never ever eat or smoke in the car.
I keep it vacuumed out.
In the event dirt gets on the floor mats, I wipe/scrub it out.
I don't use any air fresheners
I use a damp towel (sometimes with a little soap) to wipe the dash, door panels, and plastics--no off the shelf greasy or fragrant products.
I use Lexol leather cleaner on the seats periodically.

Just keep it and your clothes clean, and don't load it up with overpowering air fresheners.
