Go HERE
You get to chose which scent you want out of a variety they have to offer. It's a "dry vapour produced from natural essential oils".
I haven't had it done but a lot of dealers get it done with cars that stink of smoke before it's sold on.
This is the only way to get rid of the smell apart from throwing the whole interior into the washing machine!
What I tend to do is replace everything but that wasn't a viable option this time! Worst combo of dog hair, cigs and cow dung all ground in there somewhere
Must keep an eye out for them, I'll be in the city on Tuesday

You'd also need them to do a wet-vac on the interior too if there's dog hair and cow dung in there. That stuff can be dangerous if you're breathing in particles from it the whole time you're in the car.0 -

That was my first priority (full clean on a new daily) All that was left when I was finished was the front carpet and the roof lining. Everything else is from a different car, even the plastics and console
Most dog hairs are gone from the roof and the dung was in the carpet I took out (traces not much thankfully)0 -

Definitely the wet vac if you can.
I'd attack the head lining too, no doubt there's years if smoke and bad breath imbedded in that yoke.
Edit: Midnight_EG's scored a job with EAC, annoy him for discounts.
The prick was ment to help me with my car but kept cancling for work so he deserves it. Haha
I never herard off him before.
Edit, does he use this thread much?0 -

BW: He use to post here all the time, these days he's over on DTDIRL.
dgt: I used Turtle Wax Interior 1 carpet and upholstey cleaner (something like that) when I first got my car. The seats initially smelth like arse but now they smell nice and fresh. If it can take out that smell, it'll take out anything. 0 -

Someone selling a car, for already high ish money then it's real value, then he passes nct in advance and pops 1k on car, which he is already selling for a month... You have to love these people...
This is the sort of person you call a 'donkey' Shadow, or 'donk' for short! 0 -

Was dreading making a phone call. I was planning to drive to my hometown to get my clutch replace by my regular mechanic but its so badly worn I can't drive it
Called around several local garages and to my surprise got a quote for £120 labour. He will call back with a total price so should be about £200.
I was expecting to pay way more because there are no small time mechanics about!0 -

Seller is a clown not matter what it is, (well especially taking into account it's not a daysul hatch you're after;))
What is even better. It had fresh 2 year nct on it. I found out he has his own truck company... So I am 99% sure nct was bought or done with connections and friends. The state of break lines was shocking. It would be 100% fail and there was a wear on one side of tyres too! It would not pass nct at all!
I was taking it only because it was waaay lower my budget and I would have atleast 2k left over just to sort out things I did not liked amd still be under my budget by a lot.
Good thing is though I know 100% what car I want now 0 -
I just went up to get a quote for some bodywork on the Civic, small bit of damage on the roof skin ( a pallet was lowered on to it when it was in the container coming from Japan apparently) and there's some paint damage on the bonnet, looks like somebody spilled some sort of solvent on it. He's also going to touch up all the stone chips and scratches and do my wipers in a satin black for me
Have to go back tomorrow for the exact price but I've had work by him before and send a lot of people there so I should be looked after 0 -
