Removing the smell of fiberglass resin is easy but time-consuming

Removing the smell requires little work on your part but will take several hours.

Step 2

Step 4

Turn the fan on a medium speed so air pushes through the vehicle and out the opposite window.

Step 5

Leave the fan on for four hours. If odor remains, allow the fan to run for several hours longer until the odor has dissipated. Four hours, however, is usally long enough to remove the odor in its entirety.
