Help! I went down to my local Honda dealer and bought a used 2006 Honda Civic. When I drove it I thought I smelled something funny, but it wasn’t very strong. I thought it was a used car sitting around smell. I was a sucker. It got worse and worse and I finally identified it as smoke smell in t…

My brother was given a car that was horribly coffee and cigarette stained (pots and pots of coffee, and cartons and cartons of cigarettes). They were able to clean a great deal of it out by removing the seats and carpet from the car, then attacking them with a power washer loaded with Simple Green.…

It didn’t look hopeful for the car, based on those comments. Three weeks later, the car …

We bought a new car, obviously test driven by an I imagine 50 cent cheap cigar smoker, you know one of those big cigars that smell like crap, but got a good deal on the car and did not take but a couple of weeks for the smell to fade. Wonder if there are plants to smoke a stinky cigar in new cars at…
