1. I LOVE the crayon smell. Although, I'm convinced my car doesn't have "it" any more Every now and then someone will comment on it, but I don't smell it anymore. le sigh

2. It's probably not the cloth, seeing as everytime I ride in Vince's TurboS (BEETLETHIS) I still smell it!

3. The "crayon smell" is also reported among Jetta owners, but not GLI owners?? Weeeeeeeird. Further no Golf/ GTI that I've ever been near/in has had that smell.

4. If you want to subdue the smell, use FABREEZE...DAILY. Or even twice a day. Orrrr use what my friend Yoshi uses in his 337--Armor All (sp??) his car smells DELISH!!

/end rant

Oh...in case you missed it....I the crayon smell
