I seriously think car care product companies make their stuff smell good just to keep us in the garage and use more lol! My Pinnacle collection of cleaning products smells like all sorts of good things including Pina Colada, Gummy Bears, Coconut, etc.!

I spent ALL DAY yesterday with my Pinnacle collection! Souveran is amazing on black... I pulled up a chair, poured a drink, and admired my hard work later that evening... +1 on Pinnacle!

my buddy mentioned that where he lives (LA) he started seeing these
little red/orange tiny bugs dead all over his car while he parked it at
work after using waxes with a nice fruity smell.

Meguiar's. It gets the job done and I have no complaints about it.
