Bought a 04 TSX, how do I get rid of scent?

Just go my hands on a pre-owned, it's sweet but the previous owner used one of them Japanese air freshners.

I'm trying to get rid of the scent, it even comes out from the vents. So far I'm using baking soda boxes and keeping the moonroof slightly open at night.

Any suggestions on how I can make my car scentless?

try changing out the air filter for the a/c system.

you could also try fogging it with this product

or you could go to pep boys and buy the ozium air freshner/bacteria killer/scent removal, works on my car, spray through the outside vents

I would highly suggest carpet extraction as well. And a general wipedown of all leather, plastic, vinyl. Cabin filter exchange would be a great idea as well.

change the cabin filter, spray that stuff in the vents, and also try some febreeze, good idea with the baking soda.
