[Zmagnette] Preservation

[Dave Wahl]

I have had good luck using an ozone generator to take out odors out of car 
interiors.Crytal Air Inc. 1-888-424-7103 of Canada has them for sale. They 
also have an odor spray that they are very proud of and they say it works 
better then fabreze. P.S. Last Thurs. Sherie and I went to Ballard and 
bought Steve Kaufman's Magnette from John Davidson.It was so cute and nice 
we had to buy it. It needs some tweeking, but it is in the right spot with 
the right guy . Dave Wahl , Wenatchee

While all the ideas presented may help, I would look at car detailers
who specialize in this sort of thing.  The headliner may not be the
only thing that is harboring the smell.  Carpets, seats and other
surfaces are probably contributing as well.  Time and ventilation
help a lot.  If you do a google search for "fabric headliner smoke
cleaning" or something like that, you will see a lot of
suggestions.  Not all are applicable to the soft, unsupported fabric
of a Magnette, but some may be.
