Default Re: The Old Smell of Crayon Question

On the surface, some begin with the cabin filter, running the air circulator and spraying a can of deodorizer in the car. After these failed attempts, we move onto the source of the smell is the undercoating used in some German cars. I am pretty sure this is the root of the problem but what I haven't found is where anyone has gone as far truly attacking the issue and finally getting rid of the smell. My gut tells me the undercoating is under the car as well as in the interior and removing or spraying over it is simply out of the question and I must live with the smell. I love my SRT 6 but the burning crayon smell is really intense.
Any help will be truly appreciated.

I read once before on here about placing a box of melted crayons in all of your other cars so you won't notice the Crossfire smelling odd anymore... Besides that crayon smell is trademark and you won't even notice it after a few miles down the road especially if you keep on the supercharger...
