Cleaning interior + fragrance that smells like brand new interior

As for cleaning I think this video demonstrates well how to do it :

But as for the same scent you get after a professional cleaning, I don't know. I am not interested in the cheap trees advertised as new car scent, I am rather after the exact same scent you have after a professional interior cleaning or after you buy a brand new car. Share any info!

I bought an ozone machine and I can testify that it will eliminate some odors that you didn't even know you had and when you then clean the sent of the cleaner will remain (as intended). Good for house and car. Make sure you know what you're doing when using one tho, it is hazardous.

What is a good ozone machine that won't break the wallet?

You'll just have to search around, I think I paid 80$ for mine and was able to rig up some duct work to pump it through the HVAC of our house for a cleaning. The pros wanted some like 300-400$ for the same service so it all depends on your budget. Just do plenty of research so you don't cause more harm than good!

Like Donbrew said ozone, like Ozium spray. Can buy it about anywhere. Spray it into the return air while A/C is on and turn car off then close up car for about 1 hour. Works every time.

I purchased the ozone machine cause I had multiple needs, that ozone spray looks like a much better option for most people. And you don't have to plug it in!
