Got my car back from 3-day work at bodyshop.
It was just a fenderbender....so no interior work needed.
Not sure what the odor is really from, paint or glue or whatever.

But how come the chemical odor (glue mostly I think) is so strong
inside the cabin ?
Dont then tape and cover up the rest of the car and expose only the
area they work on ?

They use any fiberglass on the body? That's the usual source of such strong
odors.

No, not a fiberglass hood, just the shop using fiberglass for some of their
repairs.

Fiberglass resins stink to high heaven. A car sitting in the shop for a
while can't help but take on the smell even if no glass was used in the
repairs on that particular car.

Give it a few weeks. The smell will probably go away of its own accord.

Would its Accord be the US Accord, or the Euro Accord?

The smellier of the two.
