Hello Guys.....
My car was in garage for quite a long time. I just removed it from garage and it smell really bad. Just like a old perfume. I cleaned it from top to bottom but no use
Please suggest.
George

is it like rotten eggs?
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.

Could be a dead mouse! Dead mouse fart is bad, but usually goes away after a few weeks.
I suggest locking it up for a few weeks in storage. Then if the smell persists, go see a car dealer!

Good call!
Could also be the stuff burning off the engine or the cat converter.
