Re: smoke smell

If you have access to one. I would rent or get a carpet shampooer. You only need a smaller one. Suck up ur whole interior with that. Make sure u use a chemical with it. I think they are mostly called steam emulsifier. Let it air out and dry out. Check to see if its fixed. You may need to do this over again. remember that scents and deoderizers really just mask the smell and dont fix it.

Re: smoke smell

Not sure if it will work for cigarette smoke, but you could try Pine Sol. When I got my Saturn, it had a sorta musty smell to it. My neighbor told me to leave some Pine Sol in the trunkfor a couple nights in a row and the smell went away. Cigarette smoke is a tough one though. You could try multiple Pine scent air freshener trees

Re: smoke smell

Check these out http://www.autodetailingsolutions.com/Deodorizer.htm

ozone generators are the best way but lots of money.

Re: smoke smell

Try to clean them with Simple CLean and then let air out and try to run heater or a/c with windows down, there is a lot of stink in there.

Re: smoke smell

i stripped out my whole interior. seats, carpet, etc. i let it all sit in the fresh night air. the next morning before the sun and heat set in i put everything back in and cleaned with resolve. then scotchguard, and then a little phantom spray. it made all the difference in the world. then again, i was just really bored that weekend.
