It's a 35 year old classic car currently valued around 200k and going up in value. Dumping it? Not really an option. Selling it? Maybe when it'll be worth a million :)

One more thing. When using the ozone machine we only did it in 15 minutes sessions. I get it that's not enough to kill all spores? Should we keep a session for like an hour? What's the risk?

So you think the main problem resides in the hvac system? The units have been dismantled and cleaned, the cooling liquid was changed.

Hi All,

It's been more than a year that i'm fighting this war against an invisible enemy in my car. This vile mold smell that gets caught in the clothes, in the hair, everywhere. It is very...

Strange and funky is one but to have the clothes and hair smell like mold i think it is dangerously unhealthy.

Current status: took down everything, including the dashboard, cleaned, sprayed the...

Yes that is my thought too. It's annoying to have to throw away a leather that looks like new.

So the Em Clean arrived, sprayed two bottles with no effect. We are starting to run out of options and ideas. Don't think this leather can be saved...

Sorry to say this solution didn't work. We'll keep on spraying hydrogen peroxide until Em Clean arrives. Besides a yellowish foam (might be the coloring of the leather it is butter beige) nothing...

Thank you, we've ordered and will give it a try. I would be nice to save the leather as it is in very good condition. No mildew stains either.

We've ozoned the interior several times. that was in february. we did that until we realized we need to find the pieces that were destroyed by mildew and eliminate them. like the isolation material...

I've also read about this, we will give it a try. Thank you.

We've steamed the seats, then treated them with Vital Oxide and Leatherique. As i was saying there is no visible mold on them, but the spores are somewhere caught deep in the texture of the leather....

So new "intelligence" has arrived: seems that the leather covers are attacked by spores, that have penetrated deep inside the leather fibers. i think using Leatherique actually fed the spores with...

That is nice, didn't know they relaunched the business. I've dropped them an email however i hope i will save that leather as it looks perfect and surely the cost will be huge.

Spoken to a classic car restorer yesterday. He told me that before throwing away the foams, to wrap them in plastic foil and then re-mount the cleaned leather on top. This way the smell is "locked...

We've already done that - took out the leather cover, cleaned the interior of the leather and the foam. but seems we need to do it again and use the stronger disinfectant. or if that foam is attacked...

Hello

So we're working on a 1997 Jaguar XK8 (seats are covered with Connoly leather, best of its kind, they don't produce that kind of leather anymore, so we really need to save it)

The car had...

We've taken down the carpets. the metal flooring is impeccable, except for a point of rust, there was a punctual leakage of water coming from somewhere inside the dashboard, probably between the...

Thank you for the tips. we used ozone several times. we also steamed the ventilation tubes. not sure he steamed the seats. Will try that too.

Sorry guys, i've posted this on "ask mike" forum too but i'm a bit desperate to get an answer, i'm fighting this smell since march...

So first of all let me tell you that i am no professional...

Dear All,


First of all let me tell you that i am no professional detailer, but i am closely working with the best in my city to solve my problem.


So i own a 1997 Jaguar xk8 that had a...
