I know the subject has been done before but I can't find it in search.

CIF Bathroom Mousse. Seriously, cracking cleaner for the headlining in the roof and leaves the car all lemony!

Spray on and rub in then wipe over with a slightly damp cloth. works well.*

*test on a small corner first. no responsiblity for loss or damage will be accepted and no correspondence will be entered into. ROAR.

How to Get Rid of Cigarette Smell

HTH. I know Bicarbonate of Soda worked absolute wonders when getting rid of a vomit smell in the car after I'd been a bit too quick in the Alps and my duaghter wasn't too happy in the back seat! Seems like it can help with the rest of the car and ciggie smells too.

Do a google for "fogging", supposed to work miracles, was going to get my current one done as it was a pipe smoker had it before me but febreeze of the roof lining sorted out most of it.

Smear the interior with Dog Poo.

Failing that, Febreeze on the upholstery or even better a wet vac then febreeze and wipe down every surface with wet cloth.

Smokers ruin cars, though My Audi 100 had a satisfying slight Cigar odour, I quite liked it, made me feel all Richard DeVere, important cigar smoking captain of industry type bloke.

i remember when i was a nipepr valeting cars was disgusting, squirty bottle of upholstry cleaner and a bucket hot water with a shammy

squirt whole roof lining and wipe off repeat till clean washing shammy in the bucket, then work down to plastics seats etc.


i remember the orangy brown crap that used to drip off the roof and run down, totally discusting, the mad thing was with half the cars they didnt look too dirty but once cleaned were lovely, maybe with the seats just spray on some of that foaming upholstry cleaner, i would imagine the smell would be gone after that
