CRAYON SMELL

[Sean22]

Crayons. Yeah thats the smell. Yeah it seems kinda normal for a car about that age, and its hot in Texas.

A little mold, some old plastic, and when it comes to seat farts, its not the age.. its the mileage.

It could be off gassing of the VOC's used in the plastics and foam (new car smell). It decreases over time, but if your car's closed up and sitting even the decreased amount can build up.

I worked in the office of a plastic manufacturing plant for a while and that styrene smell was always all over me when I went home.

Check under the car and make sure a plastic bag did not waft up and get stuck/burn onto the exhaust…

Yep, I experienced that same smell and it turned out to be a plastic bag stuck on muffler, apparently I drove down an alley ful of trash.

I spent a lot of time consulting for a client who filled store-brand knock-off perfumes ("If you like Chanel No 5, you'll LOVE Channel 6 !)." The air was full of various fragrances. My wife could tell when I'd been there because she said I always smelled like a cheap girl afterwards. While she wasn't a fan of it, she did think it was a vast improvement over when I'd come home from a plating shop and she could smell the cyanide from my clothes when she did the laundry.

If in storage or damp floor mats leave windows cracked open 1/4 in.

I do three sprays of chemical bros leather scent on a 4 X 4 pice of fabric and toss it under the front driver's seat.

Always smells like leather.

If you want a car to smell of Leather open a tin of old fashioned Boot Polish and leave it open under the seat.

Does anyone else’s S550 smell like crayons? I’m talking 2003 5 series crayons. Ever since I got a daily a couple years ago the S550 sits, but when I want to drive it I end up smelling like crayons. Wondering if it’s a heater core, coolant / evap, freon leak. Not sure but advice greatly appreciated

Check your cabin filter maybe

I'm guessing coolant based on that description.

This is an amazing way to lie to your wife! Going to use this next time i'm with a cheap girl!

Navy Vet. Don’t worry many of my close friends are Marines. We give each other grief all the time.

At my brother-in-law's aurprise 30th birthday on base, he had a bunch of his buddies there and after I had a few drinks went outside for a smoke. He is a Marine vet and his friends were Navy. Well, I made the comment that it was nice to invite the guys who give the Marines a ride to parts unknown. He saved my ass when on of the guys was going to destroy me. Turns out they were all Seal Team Six guys. I wish he had let me know before hand. Haha
