What would you guys suggest for removing the smell from a near-new car (2-seater, 2017 model w/ 1500 miles) that had a small interior fire?
Background ... the passenger seat bottom was set on fire. Heat/flames got the headliner & visors - mostly just singing the fabric layer. The drivers seat wasn`t flamed - but fabric layer singed pretty good as with the headliner. Interior cabin got hot & smoky, but damage was isolated to plastics & fabrics. Carpet was heat damaged behind the drivers seat, but going to replace it just because its likely holding odor.
So far, I`ve literally gutted the "entire" interior ... nothing left but wiring & the air control box. I`ve wiped/washed all surfaces that I could reasonably access (tough job). I`ll do the same to all the "reusable" trim panels, including the dash panel.
As of now, with the interior out, the "burnt plastic" smell is faint - but, still there. Plan on going 3,500 mg/hr Ozone for 2-hrs next ... but, wanted opinions before I deployed the "nuclear" option.
