Mobile Car Wash.. HELP!

Hey all!

Need some help. I live in SoCal (San Fernando Valley) and I am looking for a mobile car wash that does detailing. For some weird reason a brand new fuel injector cleaner just burst in my trunk and it now wreaks of gas! It's awful!

I wish I could just air it out but I live in an apartment complex so can't leve my windows and trunk rolled down. If you know anyone who does a great job, please let me know! Thanks All!

Thanks guys. I decided to go to a car wash who shampoo'd the whole trunk for 30 bucks. Still smells a bit but the guy put in a ton of air freshener so that's helping make me dizzy. I'll be buying febreeze and baking soda and hope that smell goes away...

The best thing to do is baking soda first for about a week or so. Make sure there's no real moisture in the trunk so that it can soak everything up and then vacuum it all up after that, spray the febreeze directedly into the trunk's carpeting. For the cabin, get 1 or 2 Baking soda boxes for the fridge. Leave it in the cabin and drive with the windows down for a week the smell should go away slowly but surely never return

It really is. You can read up all you want about how to please a woman, you can look at all the diagrams in the world, but just like the clitoris, you won't know what the hell an apex is before you actually find it.

Thanks for the tip. Heard about baking soda. Did you mean to sprinkle/spread the baking soda in the whole trunk then vacuum it? If so, would you put a lot (the whole box) or just a few here and a few there?

Put enough to get a nice even layer, then used the brush attatchment on a house vac a week later to makesure its all gone, id typically use a whole box and keep everything out of the trunk. Leave your moon roof peaked up and everytime you're done with your car at the end of the of day, press "rest" on the ac control. It should help more.
