    1. Sell the car
    2. Buy the car back.

    That's gonna be one nasty odor to get rid of.

    Likely story... Were his eyes bloodshot? Did he he seem paranoid at all?

    Err, I mean, bummer... Grandma would suggest tomato juice bath, but I don't know if you'll wanna do that to a car interior. Of course, you don't wanna put a skunk in one either...
    I see swirls everywhere!!!

    I think this may be time for a gigantic google search. Just getting smell off of the undercarriage is hard, but man, the interior...not a clue.

    Let us know how it all works out.

    Try good cleaning of all interior surfaces then try one of these...or 3 of these at the same time:
    Choose any three Odor Bombs and save! Select three Odor Bomb scents of your choice for one low price. Choose different scents for different

    Also return and let us know if that worked.

    Question why would you want the smell to come back After you got rid of it?

    The entire interior fabrics (seats, headliner, carpeting, etc.) may just have to be removed...
    Some possibly replaced. (This is, at the very least, that must be done...IMHO.)

    I'd suggest to this Customer to take the vehicle to a professional janitorial-service-company.

    I'd steam it about 3 times then hit it with an ozone generator for a couple days. But I'm still not sure that would do the trick...

    I'd like to meet the veterinarian.

    Anyone that cares enough about animals to put a live, hurt skunk in their car is just the guy I want taking care of mine.

    And the only way to permanently de-stink the car is to have it stolen and burned.
