WOW Chelsea, you hit that car with just about every type of smoke odor attacking chemical there is! Great job. Enzyme cleaners are often overlooked by many vehicle detailing enthusiasts and professionals alike. They either have never used one before and don't fully understand their value, or they simply don't have any in their arsenal of detailing products. I have been using enzyme cleaning solutions since the 1990's and I have always had some sort of enzyme based cleaner in my own detailing supplies cabinet. Currently, I have a gallon of Poorboys World Enzyme Cleaner, the bio boomer mini's, along with the Bio Bomb large kit for fogging the entire interior with one of their added "bubbler" devices to help disperse the gas more evenly and quickly, which works wonders on removing not only smoke odors, but just about any lingering odor found inside a vehicle cabin. I think you attacked this particular car perfectly with what various chemicals and tools you utilized. Steam is another way to effectively remove a lot of different lingering odors including smoke, body oils, food oils and grease smells, and other odors that are usually difficult to remove without the assistance of not only the typical enzyme cleaners, but the boost you get from a good steamer. I have also been using steam since the 1980's, and started using it as an effective way to clean engine bays, back when you really needed to be careful spraying large volumes of water inside the engine bay, as the components back then were not water resistant like today's modern engines. Steam was (and still is) an effective way to break down the grease and embedded oils and dirt found inside the engine bay without introducing a lot of moisture, but still having the ability with the hot steam to effectively clean the areas inside the engine bay.

+1 for bio bomb. I bought a used car that was saturated with the smell of cannabis. After one treatment of bio bomb (used with the aerator) 6 hours later the smell was gone. I also changed the cabin air filter. But bio bomb is a great product

Thanks for the thorough video. If I lived next to you, I’d make an appointment. Going to attempt to replicate this on my 2000 Mercedes that I recently picked up that smells like a hot ash tray in the summer.

Also recommend changing the cabin filter out as well
