Hello, I recently purchased a used LC500 about six months ago. The previous owner smoked cigars, but the dealer masked it with a nearly insufferable cologne smell. Albeit the smell has has gotten better, I haven’t been able to get rid of it. I’ve tried (in order):

  • steam cleaning/interior detail
  • two car bombs
  • wiping surfaces with white vinegar
  • dryer sheets
  • AC drain plug cleaning
  • AC intake cleaning (in interior vents and exterior intake vents)
  • spraying lysol thru AC intake
  • spraying ozium thru AC intake
  • Ozone treatment

Notably the interior is full of suede, specifically on the seats and headliner. The only thing(s) I haven’t tried yet are a bowl of charcoal or white vinegar. Is there anything else I should try?
