If any of you need to store your boxster for a long time, ask your professional to ventilate the car once and a while. They simply wrapped it up with plastic, heated the thing so it wraps to the exact shape of the car and store it into a controlled environment warehouse.

Thing is.... you need to make sure there is no humidity whatsoever anywhere, before wrapping. If like myself you are in a rush, brain-dead from it, and have to deal with a complete less-than professional storage company, don't forget to tell them to dehumidify your car before they wrap it.

I was so happy to come back home weeks before the wife do so I can enjoy a single-guy life a little To find out that the convertible still smells like Vanilla driving roof down on the expressway at 100mph.
Rent an ozone generator and run it in your Boxster for a few hours with the windows and top closed. Make sure the ventilation ducts are opened.

Turn off the machine and run the car for 5-10 min. with the vent system on re-circulation to allow the ozone to flow through the venting ducts.

I actually purchased an ozone generator off of e-bay for less than $200 for a commercial unit. I use it for all sorts of things around the house and in all of my vehicles.

Research "ozone", then give it a try.

Good-luck.
