Glovebox Cassanova

[jakesmith]

I have a beautiful Maserati Granturismo. It appears that the previous owner was something of a casenova as when I open the glovebox there is a powerful smell of some aftershave! Any ideas how to remove this initially amusing but now annoying smell? You can't smell it without glovebox open.

This stuff is rather good at removing odours.

Worst "I've got a Maserati" thread ever.

Think yourself lucky: I had a manky Volvo estate.

In damp weather it smelt foully of the previous owner's dog.

Light a small fire in glovebox, and extinguish after 30 seconds. The resultant smoke should neutralise the aftershave.

fking close it then.

I don't even use my glove box never mind feel the need to drive round with it open.

The bleedin Android connector is in there so I have to open it every time I use the car!

I had a car that smelt of fish, tried everything including those odour bombs but the only thing that shifted it was baking soda and a wet and dry vac.
I think charcoal and cat litter is meant to be good at removing odours.

It's not a Maserati, it's and Alfa and it's not Aftershave it's Lynx. You know what the internet is like, folk exaggerate!

Seriously though OP. Leave the glove box open and let nature take it's course. Put on a Demis Russous CD and give into it. I bet Demis had a Maserati. Seems like a Maserati kind of guy.

I'd run with the theme for a couple of months - water bed in the back, sheaths liberally stashed in the storage bins, Barry white on the beatbox, local dogging spot/ sexual health clinic punched into sat nav

When you take that all out after 2 months the mild whiff of sex panther will seem like light relief

I expect the OP lives in the first world. It's probably reasonable for them to start a thread about a first world issue that might not be trivial to them.

What ho chaps! I have an absolutely wizard Aston Martin DB4 Zagato & the glove box stinks of champagne caviar & cigars - all rather dashed annoying when one wants to take ones floozy off to ones country estate for the week-end. The champers not even Krug for Gods sake its jolly old Boly.
