So, my 300SD black demon has a bit of a BO problem. The interior has a certain aroma that I can't seem to get rid of. I can't really describe what it smells like other than it's not real fresh smellin.

My wife says it smells like 22 years of aftershave, cologne and sweat. Ugh. Other folks have told me that it is the horsehair in the seats (is there even horsehair in the seats?) I've tried cleaning the MB Tex really well and masking the aroma with air fresheners but it always wafts it's way back to my olfactory receptors.

The other day after giving the old boy a good cleaning I slathered the dash and seats with a generous helping of Armor All and the stench (there, I said it) intensified So maybe what I am smelling is 22 years of Armor All seeping out of the material.

Don't know what it is. Just want to get rid of it. Any ideas????????
