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.


In a dry warm place, that will not get wet, like a garage, open all the
windows and let it get warm for a couple of days. If you live in a sunny
clime, put it outdoors with the windows down for a couple of days, raising
the windows at night, and locking it, of course. The combination of raised
heat, UV rays, and ventilation should kill a very high % of it. If it does
not, have the child tested for hypersensitivity to some things, as if he is
still sensitive after treatment of the car, he/she/it is hypersensitive.
