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. |

You don't say what model, but the C4 has this _feature_. It might just be a case of removing the perfume pod. JB. |

AIUI if you wire a dead Latvian to the exhaust pipe you'll be unlikely to notice the Polish smell. So I've heard ... Derek |
