Anywhere in PG, Howard or Moco. thanks. I have an old camery bought used that has a terrible smell of cigarrete that I cant get rid of, It really bothers me. Any one know of a good detailing shop around here thats not too expensive?

 

Your best bet is to find someone who specializes in carpet extraction. They will basically have to shampoo every inch of carpet in the car and then extract. I'm guessing a full interior detail will run you ~$100-125.

If you want to try and tackle it yourself, you could rent a machine from the grocery store or whoever rents them in your area. Cost would be ~$50 with the detergent. Just make sure you let your car completely air out or you will be left with a nasty mildew smell in the car.

 

thanks, i think i would rather just fork the money to let the pros do it. 100-125 sounds reasonable to me. can anyone refer any shop in particular that theyve had good experience with?

 

Something you might try. Meguiar's makes a Car Odor Eliminator spray that might do the trick. You can get it at some Auto Parts stores.

That's a good product, but all that is going to do is mask the smell for a short period. He is going to need to do a full carpet extraction. A vehicle that has been heavily smoked in will yield black water when a carpet extraction is done. Its pretty nasty looking, but is definitely his best best.

Terry, I'll pull up my contacts tonight and give you the names of a few people you can try. A couple of them are mobile and will actually come to your home to do the detail.

 

thanks a lot spendgy
