The previous ower on my car was an occassional smoker  :ashamed:

Clean the car regular, but on HOT days you can still get a wiff here and there. whats the best way to kinda get rid? believe you can put a steamer in, steam the car with the widows open a little? true?

TheBIGJAYY:
have you tried shampooing the interior and wet-vac'ing it? i did that on my old car when the previous owner was clearly a smoker and it got rid of the smell quite well.

Autosmart do a fumigator type machine that you pop in your car for ~12 hours. 

My old Integra gearbox went and the smell of burning gearbox oil had tainted the interior beyond belief.  The Autosmart machine worked absolute wonders.

A lot of garages use Autosmart cleaning products so if you ask nicely or know someone their Autosmart rep might give them a loan of the machine as a 'trial'.  That's what I managed to get :) 

Otherwise, just get a cat to piss in it.

Alternatively, this is a fantastic air freshener and smells utterly amazing!

Is the smoke smell worse when you have the air conditioning on??
