Keep the trunk open....air it out.  Have you tried Fabreeze?

Subject: Smell

    You've all had this experience: you have collected shells, bagged them,
stuck them in the trunk of the car.
    And you can't get near the trunk for several weeks because of the smell.
And that comes from decaying animal matter.
    So what I want is the attention of Doctors, Pharmacists, Biologists,
Chemists---and etcs.
    Can someone develope a spray that would negate the odor of decaying
animal matter?
    We could call it: "Shell-Un-Smell".
    Come on people. You know the problem. Can you imagine a sheller who
wouldn't invest in such a spray?
