You could also try an open box of used coffee grounds in the back seat for a few days, thats worked for me.

Removing smoke smell Ok guys, I've searched the hell out of this forum but there's nothing about this.
I got a new beater Z28 and the interior just reaks of smoke.
I thought about putting silica packets in there to asorb the smell but I'm not too sure. But I don't want to throw in 100 dollars worth of air fresheners either.
Any suggestions to get rid of the smell?

completely gut the interior and clean every panel with cleaner and a tooth brush, shampoo the carpet, and steam clean the headliner along with cleaning anything else out of the cars floors and etc.
the smoke smell is stuck to everything!

The headliner will more or less need replaced if it were a heavy smoker and holds most of a cars smell IMO The seats and carpet can be removed & cleaned.Wipe everthing else down inside the car including the rear hatch area with some murphys oil soap or something compareable.Dont forget about the inside glass too! That tar sticks to everthing my man and is why i dont smoke in my 35th LE LOL Ill pull over before ide ever fire up in my baby LOL She still has that new leather smell to her with only 26K on the clock and i intead to keep her that way
Looking and smelling good Good luck and the Murphys oil soap will impress you and is safe for everthing

coffee grounds work pretty good, you can have the car hooked up to an ionizer at a shop, also one of the biggest smell holders are your cabin a/c, heater filters. replace those and while your at it clean the ducts
im telling you, tape the top on the smoke eliminator(so it comes out all the time) and close the car up. that would be way over kill but if have the smell that bad it will do the job..... i clean carpets for a living in a high tourism community. when someone complains that there house/rentalcar/boat was smoked in, that is what we use.

if you google smoke eliminators there are several products like the one mentioned above. I have used Vamoose, Chemac Odor eliminator, etc. and they work pretty well. There is also a "bomb" where you set it off, close the car and wait like 12 hours.
We use an ozonator at work for all the used cars. It works mint.... has to do with the extra molecule in the ozone it bonds to the carbon or whatever.. not sure how it works but it does.

do what i normally do i get either Black Ice pine tree air freshners or get a can of something like Skoal Apple or Skoal Peach and just let the can sit in the car for 2 days and youll smell nothing but apples or peaches lol sounds crazy but it works
Save a few bucks, get some dynamat (or something similar)... Pull the interior, lay the sound deadener then shampoo the carpet and mats and clean each panel as you put it back in...
Car is better than new AND you accomplished more than just getting rid of smoke...
