Default Removing a polish smell

Need to remove a polish smell thats inside the neighbours recently purchased

There is a sickly smell that one of the children especially finds very
unpleasant. It's very subtle and difficult to locate exactly and we suspect
it might be an interior cleaner or polish thats been used.

Is there some solution that we can make up to wipe over all the surfaces to
see if it removes the smell. It obviously wouldn't want to be something that
might adversely affect the plastic and the seats. * Thanks.


A sulfurous smell can be a battery very low on water.Ive had plastic
bags melt on the exhaust. If it was recently cleaned Alcohol can be
used to go over smooth surfaces, if its in the seats and carpet park
it in the sun with windows open. It will just take time, maybe weeks
or more.
