my SO suggests that you put the chair and ottoman in plastic bags (such as for a mattress) and let the fumes work that way rather than in your car.

Also remember that whatever you use make sure it is not absorable because the leather (skin, afterall) will absorb the residue, then leave the residue on you when you sit in it.

Good luck.
