Perhaps one's still in there somewhere...?  :grin:

I'd check under the seats first. :wink:

Get the interior professionally cleaned, then take if from there

Is it anything like dogging?  :laugh:
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

A couple of ideas...

1) Check for places the valeters might have missed e.g. the roof lining, the parcel shelf, the boot carpet, under the seats. One of them might be the source of the smell.

2) Pull back the carpet around the footwells - There might be a water leak and the underside has gone rotten.

3) Try a load of good'ol fabreeze before you try something more expensive. Autoglym do an car odour eliminator spray too.

4) Have you got a mate with a garage that you can leave it for a few days with all the doors open to give it a good airing. Might help??

5) If its really bad, it would only take a weekend to completely strip the interior and clean everything properly (but days to dry out!)

My car was covered in dog hair and smelt of dogs when I first bought it. I first of all got rid of all hairs and then used some Meguiars Odor Eliminator, which actually worked at getting rid of the smells. Doesn't cost much either, so well worth a try.
