We just bought a new Tuscon and the new car smell isn't there . At least not like the new car smells Im used to with other cars we've purchased in the past . Air fresheners are touching it and when I turn on the air conditioner its even worse. It smells like the dollar store at the mall just after they get a shipment in from China. Kind of a burnt plastic glue smell. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Is this a good question?

Mosa its a bamboo charcol air purifier . It works great . The smell your smelling is a true new car smell . its a clash of glues ,epoxies, fresh paint with a touch of reducers and hardeners and if you have a leather interior , new leather. This car was probably made in South Korea and they don't use Nu there . Nu is used on new cars in North America to cover the bad smells associated with a new car. Air fresheners just mask the smell the Mosa air purifier will remove the smell over time

I'd use about 3 front back and rear of the car. Hope this helps

Is there a smell to this ? The last thing I need is more smells
no its just an air purifier
@sanf actually don't leave the bag in direct sunlight as this is how you clean then and get them to release the odder they absorb . It will stink then . this is actually how you clean them . It tells you to set them outside in the direct sunlight for an hour and then it releases whatever it has absorbed. and the filter is good again
Thanks Ill give this a try and get back to you
I want to add to @jimfixer's great suggestion. Also try changing out your cabin air filter with a fresh activated charcoal one. This will also help absorb odors. https://www.framfreshbreeze.com/
