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.

Could it be a built in air freshener? You don't say what model, but
the C4 has this _feature_. It might just be a case of removing the
perfume pod.

AIUI if you wire a dead Latvian to the exhaust pipe you'll be unlikely
to notice the Polish smell.

So I've heard ...
