My grandfather was the marketing director for Tucker Motor Company. I have had 
discussions with Mike Tucker, Preston Tuckers grandson.

The snowmobile club owns 2 Tucker SnoCats. We had one groomer operator leave at 
the end of last year so I've moved from the ASV to the "Northern Tucker". This 
gives me a longer distance run but in a more powerful, faster machine, so I 
should still be out about the same amount of time.

Nor is any oil.  That's the purpose of using a detergent, like Dawn:
to bind to the oil on one side of the molecule, and to water on the other.
Sounds like the aromatic light fractions have soaked in to something.
No substitute for un-soaking them back out.

So, dosage!

I am driving the car today. Rodent piss stench is noticeably improved, not much 
at all. Once I get the last carpet cleaned and a new cabin filter it will 
probably be mostly good. 

I’ll have to get a coupla pine trees and a crown air freshener to put in the 
car. Maybe some beaded seat covers.

My boot drier has an ozone setting, purportedly to de-stink your boots. I used 
it in my Dodge RAM when it had a water leak a couple years ago. Worked pretty 
good.

Re: [MBZ] 04E500 interior cleaning

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Does anybody have magic for removing the Power Service smell? Somebody spilled 
a bunch of Power Service behind the seat in the Tucker and the cab STINKS. 
Makes me light headed.

A week ago I took all the assorted junk out of there and scrubbed it with 
Simple Green. It smelled okay immediately after but the Power Service stink 
came back pretty quick. Saturday I made up a packet of coffee grounds which I 
hope will absorb some of it.

There was a roll of wrenches back there that was greasy with the stuff, I 
brought it home and scrubbed it good with Dawn dish soap which helped a little 
but less than I had expected. I'm thinking Power Service isn't water soluble. I 
may go back and scrub with carb cleaner.

Another option for removing stubborn stains that evade Folex is a hydrogen 
peroxide and baking soda slurry. Apply heavily and let sit overnight. Remove 
and reapply until the stains are gone. I used this on an expensive white brooks 
brothers dress shirt that I found in one of my rental properties. College kids 
must have left it to sit in a puddle of beer and who knows what else for 
months. It was so nasty that I was just going to toss it but it was my size! I 
tried machine washing it but no improvement, then I tried spray and wash and 
then back in the machine- basically nothing, I then tried oxyclean and back in 
the machine- again nothing. Again I tried bleach and back in the machine- 
basically nothing. I finally tried Folex and I was sure it would take care of 
the stains-again nothing until I tried the hydrogen peroxide/ baking soda 
slurry and after a few days it was all gone. Completely gone!
