Contact Dwayne about 4 Star Mildew Magic. This may work.

Is the car old, a salvage or involved in a flood? How do you get mildew under the dash.

edschwab1,
The car is about 23 years old.I didn`t mean mildew, i meant a strong mildew musky smell..I asked him if the car had been in a flood he replied no. The car was his Father-in-laws. The smell is very strong under the dash and in the trunk area. I looked in the thrunk and under the dash and i didn`t see any mildew at all,just the stinky smell..Thanks for the advice on calling Dwayne at 4 Star Mildew Magic .:beer Maybe he can help..
Randy.

This is a common problem with cars for some time. It seems to be in the air conditioning system in most instances. Obviously , that would explain the dash area odor, but not the trunk.
Several products are made for the purpose of deodorizing the A.C. system. What works and what doesn`t, someone else will have to answer.

I`m not sure if Dwayne handles "Oder Bombs" they have them for different reasons, smoke, pet smells, mildew, etc. The attached site will take you to them. Of course if Dywane has them then that would be the best choice.
