Hello, I recently purchased a used LC500 about six months ago. The previous owner smoked cigars, but the dealer masked it with a nearly insufferable cologne smell. Albeit the smell has has gotten better, I haven’t been able to get rid of it. I’ve tried (in order):
- steam cleaning/interior detail
- two car bombs
- wiping surfaces with white vinegar
- dryer sheets
- AC drain plug cleaning
- AC intake cleaning (in interior vents and exterior intake vents)
- spraying lysol thru AC intake
- spraying ozium thru AC intake
- Ozone treatment
Notably the interior is full of suede, specifically on the seats and headliner. The only thing(s) I haven’t tried yet are a bowl of charcoal or white vinegar. Is there anything else I should try?
Get a carpet cleaner like Bissell that you can pump and suck cleaner out of and go over every inch of carpet, seat and headliner. The smell is soaked into the materials and just using a rag to spot clean it won’t be enough. Then scent bombs
