The detail shop made a mistake and used a deodorizer in the carpet shampoo. Now the car smells like cherry and moth balls or that cube some places put in men’s rooms to eliminate the odor from the urinals.  
  
 I took the car back and asked them to remove the odor, since I was adamant about no odors. They said they would redo the whole interior.  
  
 Now the car smells like that cherry moth ball, but a little less plus leather conditioner.  
  
 This shop had done a nice job on my car in the past.  
  
 Do you think anyone can remove that cherry moth ball odor?  
  
 Yikes. It’s sickening.
