Remedies for OCS ("old car smell").
Everything about my new-to-me 944 is pristene, but it has the classic old car smell. It's not a bad smell. It's kind of like an old boat smell. Charming in a sense, but if given the choice, I'd rather not have it.
If I had to guess, I'd blame seat foam or carpeting.
Any ideas on masking or eliminating it?

Keep your shaldan to yourself.
I used desiccant bags to get a cat sh*t smell (don't ask) out of my 5000. It either worked or the odor decided go away within 2 days after I used the bags...after over a month of stank.

rip out the carpet, pressure wash the seat (if cloth)
at minimum for the carpet, remove the sound deafening material underneath it. They are great at trapping moistures -> stinkiness. Removing those made my Miata from HOLY stinky -> a nice spring-time fart stinky!
