Onion Smell
OK.. Not really just a Super Duty problem BUT figured I might get more sympathy from you guys... 
So after eating a sandwich on a long ride home the next day I noticed a couple onion slices were sitting on my new leather seat. They fell of and I sat on them for a bit. I took dish soap and washed the seat, then took leather cleaner and washed the seat followed by leather conditioner... And my seat still has an onion smell. ANY idea how to get rid of this that won't damage the leather? Thanks!

Well the good news is the smell will oxidize and eliminate itself if the source was removed. Soap and water would be the preferred cleaner in this case. If the smell has gone into the foam then a strong odor eliminator is hand like Ozium or Meguairs Air Re- Fresher short of using a ozonator. Those are my methods and others will have theirs. Also lots of fresh air helps.

Baking soads will not harm your seat in any way, what it does is neutralize the onion oder...

Awe good old onion smell... a leather safe oxidizer is the key...
It’s the amino acids that are the cause... years ago had to put an oxidizing air scrubber in a plant that cooked millions of pounds of onions a week... the local city population didn’t much appreciated the smell... NaOCl and NaOH through a wet air scrubber did the trick!
I posted on another thread about smoke smell, but my go to for car smells has been Ozium:

Wow, your burger places must suck! Reason being, you want that smell gone. There is a burger place in westland, mi called brays. Onions on their burgers are so good you would want them on your seats to smell them even after you ate them.
