Wet / Moisture/ Musky Smells

If you can smell anything remotely wet, damp, moisture like or wet musky, this usually means water is inside your car and you need to find out exactly where it’s coming from as mould can easily grow if you don’t intervene.

Firstly if you have performed a “wet vac” to your interior, we strongly recommend you open your doors and windows to let your car air out and continue to dry vac as much water out as you can. Then follow-up with our Potions (our potions help fight mould too).

If you have not performed a wet vac, check to see if your carpets or roof linings are wet, if they are wet or feel damp, you need to find out where the water has come from (usually a window or sunroof left open in the rain or a rubber seal/grommet that’s cracked, missing or not installed properly). Once you locate the source of leakage, fix it and fix it quickly! As a side note, we have seen fishing hooks that pierced through a boot rubber seal that allowed water to flood the entire boot-well. A tiny pin-hole is more than enough to cause serious issues.

Then pending on how wet your carpet is, you could possibly get away with dry vacuuming your carpets, in worse off cases where your carpet is soaking wet, we then recommend you take it to a professional so they completely strip out, clean and dry your interior asap before you run into bigger problems.
