Cigarette smell removal from my new car

[hman]

As an ex smoker I can smell a cigarette at about 400 miles, my new car smells of smoke (to me) and I want to banish these foul smells forever...

Theres loads of ideas on google searches but I'm sure some of you guys have had proper experience and knows what actually works.

The dealer says that they'll smoke bomb it and febreeze it and I've accepted that as the extent of their abilities, do you guys have any better methods that I can enlighten the dealer with?

I think in time it may go on it's own.
You could start smoking again, you'll never notice it then.

Take the mats,carpets,seats and any other items that smoke will stick to.
Clean with carpet/holstery cleaner, freebreeze the headlining.
Replace, job jobbed.
Also clean the inside glass.
About 3/4 hours work ,but it works.

As above give the car a good clean and then I've used Dakota Non Smoke with good results.

You need to deep clean all of the plastics, the windows, door cards, seats, carpets and headlining. Then you need to dress them and this should remove most of the odours. Nothing is going to completely remove the smell, but cleaning out the A/C will help and a final dose of Chemical Guys offensive odour remover will allow you to forget the cigarette smells.

You do need it valeted. Sometimes that doesnt always work. The next option is to FOG IT. Machine which releases a smoke fog inside the car and it kills all spores and smells. Dog, Fag & spilt milk. being the main problem.
Meguires do a odour killer to works pretty good.

Look for a product called odour rescue it's fairly priced and it works, i4detailing.co.uk and a few other suppliers stock it.
