[Shotimes] smoke, cleaning headliner?

[Shylo McKinsey]

When my folks bought a used 4-banger for my dad to
commute to work, the dealer sprayed a bunch of lysol
or something like that into the vents, then cranked
the fan and let it go for about 30 minutes. They
supposedly repeated the process a couple of times and
the smoke smell did dissappear. Hope it helps...even
it it warns you not to do that... *shrugs...
