Strange Smell 2022 Wildtrak - Help Needed

[Jhen1173]

Just took delivery of a 2022 Wildtrak. Fully loaded with 4k miles. One owner, Ford gold certified, etc. the dealer said they applied cosmoline prior to shipping and there’s an awful smell after driving it. Only driven it a few miles since getting it but noticed the smell immediately. Anyone else familiar with this? How long does it take to wear off?

Get it warm, drive it through some 30" deep mud......after you get home pull it to where you can pressure wash all that stuff out from under... pull your skid pans and clean them... get it squeak clean.... I don't know if this will help the smell but you'll have a wonderful time and a horrible time all in one shot!!
