I've picked up a 2nd hand car this weekend (though only 3 yrs old) and the interior stinks of cigarette smoke. I've tried Fabreze but it's still there and strong.
Has anybody got any tips to get rid of it.
I've seen every thing from cloberiser to coffe beans to putting a dead hooker in the boot in my research.

Thanks

Cheers. Will give it a go.

Used a whole bottle of fabreeze and some baking soda wipes on the plastic so will now do the bomb and air con.

Thanks for the tips.

Cleaned inside with baking soda wipes. Cleaned all glass properly then re fabreezes the headlining. It's black so I don't want to put white powder all over it.

Then I used a maguires air refreshener bomb as I didn't want to wait for a delivery and it goes through the air con system.

Followed instructions from the web site rather than pack and it went well. A bit chemically but has died down a bit. Smell of cigarettes gone though air is still a bit 'heavy'.

Will change the cabin filters at the weekend and may do another maguires. Not completely gone. Had a passenger in the car who said it smelt nice though so can't be too bad.

Think I'll always smell it though!!
