Hi James, for any smells in cars. Get yourself a ozone generator... They work absolute wonders. I paid £50 for mine and it's brilliant.

@Rapscallion2009 3 ай бұрын

Personally, I find it really difficult to get rid of the smoke smell from a car. They just never really seem to lose it if someone smoked in it even slightly regularly. You can clean the thing as much as you like, the smell is stuck with tar to everything. Behind every plastic panel, deep in seat foam, in the air con ducting, behind the dash - everywhere. It can be improved with a good clean as James is doing here - but you'll never get rid of it 100% and you'll be one hot day away from wanting to retch. The best way to view smoker's cars is like Cat N write-offs. Tradeable to the right person, but you may well have problems a week later when they're sick of the thing. Hence why rental cars have no-smoking signs. Always be suspicious if you get in a used car and find a powerful air freshener in there. They're hiding something.

Morning Chops a quick tip Re Smoke and smell Grab a nice clean bucket chuck In a teaspoon of table salt Boil the kettle and cover the salt to let it dissolve then fill the bucket from the tap then get fresh clean straw ,not hard to find in Devon ,stick plenty in the bucket and leave in the car for a couple of days it absorbs the smell brilliantly.

I bought a car from High Peak. It had a powerful air freshener in as all their cars did. I chucked it away and so far have not noticed any bad smell so hope it wasn't to hide smoke. Smokers should have special number plates to distinguish them.

Car cleaner here.....I add "liquid air freshener" to my detergent when using a wet vac,i get it from my local chemical place as they come in diff scents in 5L (Lemon is great), really soak into the carper/fabrics making it smell much nicer, when dried if there is some odour left get some of the proper "Oust Air Freshener Odour Eliminator" not the cheaper stuff or supermarket own brand. Run the car in re-circulation with fan on no.2 for a few mins,switch off engine & leave doors closed for a fews hours, then before going home/locking up spray some more with doors closed over nite. I also use the proper household air freshener like Glade ,does wonders!

Do you not find the Kia Sportage's (7-8 year old) very crusty around the back end?....I help a mechanic friend regularly and we've had a few in for rear brakes. The subframe, arms, brake backing plates were rotten, so much so the abs sensors were falling out....as the hub has to come off to do the horseshoe shaped handbrake shoes the backing plates fell to pieces, a simple job turned into a bloody nightmare.

Kuga brake and clutch is a simple clutch switch issue. There are two switches on the pedal. If either doesn’t read correctly it’ll ask for the brake as a back up for starting. If they’ve only changed one that’ll be your issue

Vanish do a soap bar for stains. Shifts anything inc. bodily fluids. Clean wet microfibre with vanish bar rubbed into it shifts nicotine stains and smell is gone. It’s the nicotine you can smell. Just don’t soak the headliner. If wet extract it. Guarantee it’ll be gone. Not to time consuming. Just practice. There is no permanent fix for nicotine in air vents, ducts etc.
