Go to a car detailing shop - ask them to ozone your car for you. They'll put an ozone generator in your car and let it run for about 30 minutes with the A/C on recirculate. Ozone will remove any smell, not cover it up like Febreeze.

I hate smokers.

No, but really I think you can keep cranking febreeze into it while leaving the doors open, and even blowing a fan through it. It will take a long time to remove the anti-life stink of this foul habit, but that will do it eventually.

You'd know if you searched for your own damn self

 

Replace the cabin filters.

Detailing shop's a good idea, but expensive. If you already have one of those ionic breeze things, put it in your car, same concept.

Exactly - but it will take longer.

Odd, I worked in a detailing shop and never even heard of this ozone thing you speak of. We even had one pretty stank Benz roll through that we couldn't help.

Yeah - most "professional" places have them - not your rinky dink ones.

Doesn't Sharper Image make a car version of their Ionic Breeze? They normally give it out to free if you buy one of their units. $49.99 value or whatever. Can you use that?
