Default Getting rid of the stank

OK I don't normally pick up hitchhikers but it was raining so I picked up what turned out to be a hiker who had just spend 8 days in Rocky Mountain National Park. As you can imagine he stank and that smell is now in my car. The smell is going no where. I cleaned off the passenger seat for no effect. Any ideas how to get this stink out of my car? I am thinking baking soda application overnite and then maybe some sort of leather solvent to get any bacterial smell off the seat. I never believed that BO could take over the interior of a car but this has, your input appreciated.

No kidding, I thought this stuff didn't happen in real life. Maybe bleach to kill the bacteria?

Default The guy is probably on some hitcher forum talking about how nice some guy was with this sweet Audi.

"He wasn't even bothered by my horrendous swampnuts."

LOL!

Default I don't fault anyone, just something that happened that I want to fix :)

He did comment on how I would fit in well in AZ with my driving style though. I guess AZ drivers like to speed and pass alot as well.

Swampnuts, lol. My actual line was, 'so you haven't had a shower in 8 days?'
