Default Removing a polish smell

Need to remove a polish smell thats inside the neighbours recently purchased
one year old Citroen.

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.



Without more information on what makes the smell worse, we can't be
of much help ?

Are you using the vent fan or air conditioner when you notice the
smell,
the car may have had a mold problem in the AC coils that was treated
using aerosol chemicals...

It could be a cleaning product used when the car was detailed inside
at the dealership prior to your purchase, in that case ask them what
chemicals they used and then try to find the chemicals and see
which one the child is reacting to...

Otherwise the smell could be from something in the car that shouldn't
be there like mold or rotting leftover food that got down between or
underneath the seats...

Just don't have enough information on what is going on when the
child is reacting to the smell...
