Tips on getting smoke/cig smell out of car

[Dorian]

I had a customer bring me a truck to detail the inside. I knew he didn't smoke, but it smelled like cigarettes. I found some dried dip tobacco spilled between the seats.

I'll have to look again this time for the dip tobacco. It wouldn't be so hard if the interior weren't all black of course.

CarPro so2pure will work and not leave any foul orders. We’ve had enormous success with so2Pure. We’ve treated smokers cars and one where a woman’s cat passed away whilst on her way to vet, and urinated on back seat.

All have reported after 6 month check-in that there was no smell.

CarPro So2Pure Air Purifying Coating 120 ml.

“The science behind So2Pure is incredible. So2Pure is based on the latest photo catalyst nano technology. In the presence of light, So2Pure forms active oxygen on treated surfaces that destroys all micro-sized air pollutants that land on it. So2Pure is literally an odor-fighting coating for your car's interior.

So2Pure totally decomposes the microscopic remnants of the odor molecules and releases them into harmless gas and water vapor. So2Pure works on any odor, including odors caused by smoke, tobacco, gas fumes, diesel, smog, allergens, chemical off-gassing from plastics, and more.”

Try Biocide. It costs around $25 but really works. It doesn’t just cover up the smells, it chemically kills the odor producing bacteria. It fairly new and patented.

Although not a 'smoker problem', a couple 'o years ago I had one heck of a mildew smell in my truck (my fault). I tried a lot of the tried and true methods to get rid of the smell. Nuttin' worked!

I thought I'd give Meguiar's New Car Scent bomb (G-164) a shot. It WORKED! The residual 'bomb smell' lasted for well over 6 months. When that was gone, so was the mildew odor. For $6 or so...give it a try.

Just my 2¢...

Can you be more specific? Googling Biocide yields many different results.

Also try to change the in cabin air filter, if it has one

You should also thoroughly clean all the seatbelts as well. Pull them out as far as they can go and use a large clip to prevent them from retracting back in place while cleaning them. Have you tried using a steamer?

It’s made by Biocide Systems. It’s called the Auto Shocker. It come in its own cup. You tear open the included package and add a measured amount of water which turns it into a gas that gets everywhere in the car. It’s fairly new technology.
