I am new to this board but in need of help.

I just purchased an 04 Accord (pre-owned) at a dealer and had after market leather installed. The car smelled great when I dropped it off and after the leather was put in it smells like a baby's diaper. I know that is gross, but it is the honest truth. I don't know what to do. I can't stand it. I looks great and feels great, but I will be embarrased to have anybody open the door to that car.

Any suggestions? Any idea why this would happen.

I appreciate any advice, thanks.

They have this armor all sponge you can use to wipe it down, it puts basically a coat of protection over it and that may help. It will also go away with time. Try airing it out for a day or so.
