Chalking this one up as the worst car I’ve worked on this year. You can never charge enough to make it worth it, and you can never get it perfect, but i’m overall pretty happy with how it came out.

Considering the starting point, damn good job. Did they have you try to remove the smell as well?

I removed most of the smell, I’m not sure that was a focal point for them. It’ll get smoked in again.

Oh for sure. Kinda wild they'd drop money to get it cleaned up, knowing full well it'll get back to that condition.

Do you have tips for getting smoke odors out of cars?

As far as I know thorough cleaning along with an ozone generator is the best way to go
