         How to Keep your Car Smelling Clean

A brand-new smelling fast car does not necessarily mean it’s
clean. In fact, those smell from new fast cars come from
unsettled molecules of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) such
as rubber or plastic materials and cleaning solvents.
According to a study in Australia, there are over 30 organic
compounds, some toxic, that are found floating in fast new
cars.

In order to counter these chemicals, drive with an open
window for the first four to six months of cruising with your
new fast car.

Always remember that your supercar automobile is a refuge of
all smoke, bacteria, exhaust fumes and various airborne
contaminants. A clean smell can be disrupted by either liquid
and solid wastes or an automotive problem.
Here is a list of several smells that may be caused by internal
problems of your hot fast car.

1) EXHAUST FUMES.
When your fast cars smells like exhaust fumes, it can be a sign
of leaks in the exhaust system, including in the muffler,
exhaust manifold, tailpipe and exhaust pipes. It can also be
due to worn seal on the rear door or hatchback.
Once you smell this, make sure to take action immediately.
Exhausts can be deadly due to carbon monoxide. During these
occasions, it is best for your super fast car to be serviced by a
mechanic or muffler.

2) GAS
If your fast car smells like raw gas, it could signify leakage in
the tailpipe, muffler, exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe. It
can also be due to worn seal on rear door or hatchback.
When this happens, check if the gas cap is loose or misplaced.
If the smell persists, bring your new fast car to the mechanic
right away.

3) PLASTIC
The smell of burning plastic inside your super fast car could be
caused by any kind of plastic lying on the road that has been
stuck to the hot exhaust located beneath the car. Although this
can be difficult to get rid off, it is best to crawl under the car
and scrape the plastic manually.

4) OIL
Smelling oil leakage could cause light smoke and a very foul
smell. This is usually caused by an oil engine leakage that
spills into the exhaust manifold and begins to be burnt.
Preventive oil maintenance is the best way to avoid this
problem. However, if you’re in this kind of situation, bring
your new fast car to the mechanic to be fixed.

A foul smell on your fast car can mean more than it is. It can
damage your engine or your tires and cause a car breakdown.
Be cautious about these smells to prevent further damage of
your fast new car. Contact a mechanic right away if an unusual
smells brings about.
