Default MOTH *****!

How do you get the smell out of your car after a long winter of storage? Just wondering about some good methods.

On another note, had to change the wheel bearing on my S10 this weekend, it was making some noise and vibrating. But now I still have a vibration with no noise. Could it be that I just have a tire out of balance? Just want some ideas before I start diggin in.

Thanks :seeya

Liberally sprinkle Baking Soda on all the carpeted areas, close it up over night (better still a couple of days) then vaccuum throughly. Works on most odors.

Fabreeze works good too.. Spray it over night, and let the car sit with the windows up..

By the way, I didn't know moths had *****, where did they come up with that name?!?!

I've used dryer sheets, and they've worked pretty well for me...
