[@ProsteamTV]

Really like your videos, very interesting indeed. I am a little confused about the removal of the smoke, you used a steamer on the headlining to remove the bacteria but with smoke you are not dealing with bacteria, when i am dealing with smoke i tent to use a product which is good for breaking down the tar and nicotine, usually applied indirectly to a micro fiber cloth and then to the fabric. I may even use a foaming pump up sprayer and apply a dry foam to the fabric and after a short dwell time extract using a vacuum. The steamer particularly comes into its own if the car has suffered vomit or spilt dairy products, even then i would choose to use an enzyme based cleaner or biocide

[@anthonystark9390]

my car was previously a smokers car, and what i did on top of cleaning the interior was change the cabin filter. it helped quite a bit

[@HolyToledo]

Anthony Stark if you do everything this guy just did and don’t replace the cabin filter, it’s all pointless because as soon as A/C or heat comes on it’s gonna smell like an ash tray. Did he mention this in video?

Good news!!!!!!!!! Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah. Acts 3:19‭-‬20 CSB From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Matthew 4:17 CSB “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Mark 1:15 CSB Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:3‭, ‬5 CSB Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. 1 John 2:6 NIV Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 CSB For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. John 3:16 GNB _Jesus_ actually died, *_GOD_* has _His blood_ as a sacrifice for your sins. *_GOD_* killed *_His_*_ Only Son_ for you. All your sins: sexual immorality (fornication, adultery(lust), LGBTQIA+ , pornography) murder( hating someone, envying, abortion and killing someone) , theft( murder, lying, abuse, corruption, disrespect, racism) and idolatry (greed, love of money, worship of other gods and pride) can be forgiven only if you believe in _Jesus_; that __*_God_* sacrificed _Him_ for the atonement of all your sins, and that_*He*_ raised _Him_ up 3 days later. And now He sits on the Right Hand of *_The Father_*__, ruling over all creation as __*_Lord and Saviour_* of the world. Jesus Christ died for your sins, and only through Him you can be forgiven of all your sins. You only go to heaven because of faith and belief in The death and resurrection of _The Son of _*_God_* for the sins of the world. Hell is for those reject GOD'S Only Son, they will be burnt by the wrath of The Almighty God. Believe that all your sins are forgiven because of The Blood of Jesus, who is The Messiah, The Saviour. Repent, turn away from your sins and live because, on the Cross of Jesus Christ your sins have been paid in full. Let Jesus is our only Hope, because *_Jesus Lives_*

That and IQOS.

hey larry. My friend is a smoker and when he needs to clean he leaves a basin they half 300lms of vinegar (windows closed) for 24hrs. it seeps in to the fabric and removes whatever is creating the smell. after that the car is left windows open, for half a day and after a short motorway blast with all windows open, the smell is gone. probably not an option for you with fancy customers but might be worth knowing ;)

[@BlueOriginAire]

l bought a gently used Van and the smoke smell was horrendous. I know l squirted the head liner with something and the smell was completely gone. Now l cannot recall what the hell l used 🥴😷🤔 . I'm sure it was just watered down vinegar, so l will definitely try that for this next vehicle l just got with the same friggin issue. Thanx for your info.✌🏽

[@dianemcmahon6517]

I am wanting to purchase a Toyota Avalon. But much to my dismay it has a strong smoke smell. (Even though the owner says no one smoked in it.) I tried to get the smoke smell out myself. 1) We sprayed the mold/ mildew etc. spray under the hood in the 4 holes that go to the air vents. This made another funky, bad but sweet smell go away. 2) We replaced the cabin air filter. Then the smoke smell really started to show up much stronger. Before that we couldn't quite be sure it what the bad odors were exactly. 3) We vacuumed the mats and carpet, 4) cleaned the leather with PH Cleaner, 5) washed the inside of the windows and 6) sprayed ozone spray in the car, definitely spraying the headliner. We still could smell smoke. I CAN NOT have a car that smells like smoke. When we returned the car to the owner, he said he would send it to his detailer friend who "can get anything out." He said smoke is a piece a cake considering worse things he has cleaned, That said, I don't doubt he can make it smell better. But, it is cold out now and harder to notice smells and I am concerned if I buy the car and he has "Made the smell go away" but then summer comes and the saying "you never get smoke smell out of a car COMPLETELY , FOR GOOD." comes true and the car starts to wreak smoke smell from the heat, after we already bought it. THAT WOULD BE A BAD THING. If it is just something you are constantly doing every few months to keep the smell away, I would rather walk away right now. I also find it difficult to tell as the longer I am in the car my nose becomes used to the smell. Then Other people tell me how bad this car smells. I just got used to it and stopped smelling it. Just don't want to deal with THAT. But other wise we like the car. CAN YOU TRULY EVER GET RID OF SMOKE SMELL OUT OF A CAR FOR GOOD?

Smoke bacteria?????? Say what!!!!

[@jonathanparag6299]

I like your channel but you have no clue what you're talking about sometimes. The ozone machine does actually work by flipping the switch on. Ozone is a gas that reacts with odor molecules by transferring the “extra” oxygen atom of the ozone molecule to the odor molecule, changing its composition so it no longer has the same chemical makeup. Also because ozone acts like a fluid it flows throughout the entire vehicle even the vents.

[@robbynelson3]

What is the pH of that product? Perhaps its close to 7, and if so then you likely wont have any long term damage. But despite what you might think, pH is very important when it comes to cleaning. You wouldn't expect to clean the dirt out of your clothes with a acid would you? No, you need a alkaline detergent. Also some materials need to be left in certain pH conditions, like wool for example prefers a acidic environment when dry. Think about airplanes or boats where these materials are commonly found.

Just remember to ventilate the car after the ozone machine has done its job. Also turn on the ac if you have that, to clean that out.

Smoking is so nasty on so many levels. I purchased a cpap mask from an online seller. It was listed as new. When I got it, it looked new structurally, but it was yellow and reeked of cigarette smoke. I usually ask if sellers are listing smoke and pet free, but dummy me forgot to in this case. I was in a rush to get it so I could breathe better at night…. Now I have another set back. Too much of a hassle to send back so I’m soaking it in baking soda and vinegar and will hit with some hydrogen peroxide and sit in the sun. I will the disinfect again and see what happens.

None of these cars that the average wage earner can afford have real leather on the seats or anywhere else. It's all plastic or nagahide until you get up into the Bently price range +200,000 dollar or so price range. Look at the backside or inside of the materiel used for the seats or arm rest, and you will see a fabric backer. Leather has no fabric backing...cows have no fabric on the inside of their skin which is what leather is...cow skin. We've all been deceived by the auto manufacturers bullshit. It's not leather...it's plastic.

“Smoke bacteria” doesn’t exist. It’s like, residue of combustion so it would be some kind of organic molecules, meaning steam won’t do anything for it, it can’t be killed. Organic residue like this is not soluble in water you would need some kind of soap or dry cleaning solvent to extract it.

[@Jasondude1994]

I agree with the ph scale that he motioned, A higher ph solution does leave a residue. There are devices that take ph readings on a fabric or leather and it tells you weather the last detailer used an higher or lower ph solution. You should always check that out if you ever get your hands on a ph meter before a detail job, you'll kinda get an idea of what solution to use on the material your working on to neutralize the material

I would love to see you start up a series of time lapses of you just cleaning these cars. I really love seeing the change that can be wrought in the appearance of something with just a serious cleaning, but it takes a lot of time and extra preparation to record these informational videos.

Do you do this for a full time job or is this a sideline job?

Feel so heartbroken, I scrubbed the hell out of my headliner months ago.

[@tiffinyanderson853]

Great video! You kept me engaged with your enthusiasm, and have a wealth of knowledge about car detailing. You should be a teacher!!

[@bdozler9]

Can you use the steam on convertible top??? Inside the car???

[@stevealaska73]

Oh and what happened to the footage of the leather after your product was applied as well as the footage of post ozone machine?

[@laithisr]

Way too much pseudoscience in your videos. You keep saying that car leather has pores and that there's such a thing as, "bacteria smoke"

[@moadas5451]

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ the leather does have pores...

[@SuperDelusionist]

Einstein of Auto Detailing. I have leaned a lot from these videos! Thanks!

[@DavesGuitarPlanet]

This seems like a good idea, but...I wish you wouldn't say "kill" the smoke (or bacteria or whatever). The smoke that gets imbedded in fabrics, etc is not alive. What needs to be done is to pull that smoke residue out of the fabric, etc, to finally be rid of it.

How do you clean dirty spotted seat belts?

[@andryxa5986]

Great videos, thank you!

[@kifalahmad]

Hey Larry ! I bought a 2010 camry and due to my inexperience bought a smoker car. I bought the car in summer and when the AC was turned on I couldnt smell anything until I turned off the AC with windows closed. It smelled like someone has literally pee'd in my car. I was near to puke. In winters I don't smell anything with my heating on.Any suggestions? Thanks

[@phototristan]

It would only be his own products since he sells his own label.

[@gullarinn]

Nice! Two videos in less than 24 hours. Could get used to that.

[@sectormentor6265]

The definition of passion! Great job!

[@cerisinc]

Thanks for the details Larry. I was wondering which steam machine you were using? Wall Paper steamer converted? I had some idiot smoking Weed in my BMW and now it smells TOXIC in the car. I put RESOLVE on all the carpets and trunk and left it overnight the first time this happened. Then now again, someone else. The Resolve didn't seem to work this time. I get your point that it can;t just be the ozone machine, I think I need to try the steamer too! Thanks in advance. Chris

[@dianemcmahon6517]

P.S. I hate to be rushed on the previous question, but I kinda need a response quickly to get and answer to the owner whether we are going to purchase this car or not. I just need advise from someone experienced

[@lithoniadirtybirds9884]

Pack of Gum Thank me later

[@desertfox4273]

I used one of these machines repeatedly in a used car I bought dirt cheap from my neighbor. I put new carpet in it and the problem I'm having is that when you turn the heat on ac whatever, the ventilation system has the smoke smell in it , so you can clean everything and then turn on the air and smell that fucking stink. Is their a video you've made on this ? Or any tips?
