Eating pork pies and Heinz Beans will get rid of ciggy smell, replacing with something equally obnoxious.

If you don't like Pork Pies, just invite Jimbob along....

I would definately give the air conditioning "bomb" a go as previously suggested. The spray off those things gets absolutely everywhere and does leave a nice clean smell. Also everytime you run the a/c blower it pumps a nice fresh smell into the car. Eventually the fags smell will fade its just living with it in the meantime.

I used one earlier in the year as recommended by a few on here, because my Mig developed a stale smell & it worked very well

I wonder if some of that training shoe deodorant sprayed in the car would work? Perhaps a few good sprays with the aircon on recirculate would kill most of the bugs and freshen up the smell?

No point at all in covering up or sealing in the smell as it allways comes back.

Most effecient way is an interior valet with an upholstery machine (a darn site more efficient than a vax ever will)

Roof lining could well be the worse source.  :-/

Best Air Freshner I ever saw was a roduct called vent fresh, 2 drops in each vent and when the heater came on the smell was better than any dangly freshner.  Lasted for ages but was expensive.

The cheap way round getting rid of the smell is to leave the sunroof and the tops of the wimdows open at every oportunity and let the fresh air get to it as often as possible.  :y

Annother way is to put a dead fish under the passenger seat then there wont be any smell from the ciggies to worry about.  ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

Better still, put a live fish under the seat and the flapping about will mask the sound of the rattling from the door lock buttons.  :D

Someone once told me that leaving a bag of charcoal opened out on the back seat for a while was good at absorbing niffs. Never tried it myself but might be worth a shot.

Something to do with that left-over charcoal now the weather has turned to sh1te. ;D

When was it good then?  :-? :-/
