Smoke smell
 
Recently I was in phoenix and bought a 99 GMC from OO with 42000 miles, problem is it smells like an ashtray

interior is mint, question, a friend said try an ozone generator? I know nothing about them, but I see them for 50.00 on ebay

Try a local rental place, or a used car detailer.

I had a mouse die in my wife’s car. It was terrible. My neighbor had an ozone generator and let me use it. After a coupe hours the dreadful smell was undetectable. It’s defi worth a try.

Just dont leave it in there too long. I had a customer use a household sized one in his 2 year old farm tractor. I dont remember how long he left it on but it ate every weatherstrip in the cab, rubber floor mat, and the air seat bladder.



BTW it did take any smell out

I have a $50 ebay unit, works well so far, clean everything first,[wipe all the plastic and vinyl off, glass cleaner works pretty good] let it dry 100% and run the ozone machine maybe half an hour. Let it sit an hour. You may have to run it a couple times over a couple weeks, Don't breathe the ozone.

I've had good luck with these two products:
