I thought the SS thing only worked for the garlic smell. Try some smelly lotion or toothpaste, that is how I used to wash the formaldehyde smell off after cadaver lab.

Deal with it. The smell will be gone in a couple hours.

after changing my dad's fuel filter (and about 1 gallon of gas spilled all over the floor) i washed the engine bay, problem solved.
