road kill smell removal?

While driving to work this morning I drove over a dead deer, made a mess of the under carriage of the car. Now it stinks to high heaven. How do I remove the smell?
I have already washed away all of the guts that I could see with the car on a hoist at work. Bought a bottle of Febreeze and have pretty much used that up spraying it all over the place.
:th_scratchhead:
 


Just drive it the rot smell will go away after a few days unless you have a big chunk wedged in somewhere.
 
Make absolute sure it's off the exhaust....I drove around with 1/3 of a raccoon on mine for a few days before I finally decided to just cut that part of the exhaust off...

Also, get some heavy duty degreaser, and completely coat the undercarriage with it, and let it soak...Then either pressure wash, or steam it, so that it will totally remove anything left/baked on...
 
maybe it was not completely dead, I did not get out and check its vital signs before I ran it over at 60mph, it sure did leave a nice looking red spray on the back of the car
 


update:

got the car up on a hoist for the second time, used Spray9 and that helped a bit, still some smell around the engine cradle, maybe that has to come off to get every nook and cranny properly
