I bought a 2010 Edge that was owned for 8 years by a smoker. The smell was pretty bad, so I bought some Super Clean, Windex, Meguires Leather Cleaner, Febreze Lavender odor remover, carpet shampoo, Lysol Lavender disinfectant and about 10 white terry cloth tea towels. I double cleaned absolutely every surface inside the car, including the spare tire, the jack and the well they sit in. I changed the cabin air filter and I squirted Lysol onto the fan blades and the filter before reinserting it, then I put the A/C on recirculate and squirted Lysol directly into the thing where the fan pulls the air in and let it run for several minutes then I flipped it on regular A/C and went outside and squirted more Lysol into the grill at the base of the windshield. I took the floor mats to the car wash and blasted them with high pressure hot water and soap and hung them up to dry. Scrubbing the carpets two times not only got rid of the cigarette smell but lots of dirt too! There is no cigarette odor anymore just a very faint smell of lavender which gets fainter every day.

Lots of good tips here, I particularly like the tip for spraying vent cleaner into the the vents and running the A/C. I bought an old SUV from someone who loved to eat (and spill food) in it and their dog was a regular passenger. It took a lot of work to get it clean, I found dried cola and food in just about every crevice.
I wish Larry would license his products to a large distributor so I could actually afford his products.

Great Tutorial Larry I enjoy your “Detailed”approach to all your helpful videos 🤓
Plus, small tip: cleaning the seatbelt is also what will fix your belt when it's not rolling back up anymore. It is not because it became stiff, because of the dirt. Hot water and cleaning will fix that.
I used the baking soda tip on fabric seats and it took the odour out overnight completely 👌
So much passion on what he does!
Thank you.I bought a car and my daughter has severe asthma that was the whole point on getting the car to get her back and forth to the hospital.And doc appointments.She couldn't even get in the smell was so strong.Thank you!
Excellent tip and video. I will definitely use when cleaning my vehicles!
Great Job Larry. Keep on rockin and greetings from Germany
Been trying to make my car car small better. I’ll have to try these tips! Thanks Larry Love the channel

resolve high traffic carpet spray foam works amazingly in cars. scrub in it on the carpets, just let it sit on the upholstery. vacuum it up and the odors will be completely removed.

Nice to have you Back Larry!
Larry I've been watching your channel for awhile and love all the tips and tricks with cleaning and polishing cars. Wondering if you have any advice for cleaning boat interiors?
How to clean a child-seat. Awesome- can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this one. Give it a year or two and we'll get "How to remove chocolate-smears" and two or three years down the line the "How to remove grass stains from football-practise" ;) And no, I am not sarcastic- I honestly am stoked for all three vids :) I've learned so much through Larrys advice and when he learns new things (no matter if they are residue control or child seat-cleaning), he shares them so we can learn. Didn't use Shag on my seats till now or Mousse on plastic- will have to give that shot.
Awesome video, I enjoy cleaning interior, I do agree with you new car smell is very bad for you, I did some research on this matter, the order come from the New Foam .
Been a while since I've watched your videos (sorry... kids! 'Nuff said lol), but this one was very timely. I need to do this for both our cars before the holiday travel season! :) :) Hope your family is doing well! You're awesome!
Awesome video! Thank you :)
Fan of the page! Thanks You for always giving us great info and tips. Wondering what your view is on using an Ozone Machine to remove bad odors.
New Car Scent is my fave scented tree flavor. I’ve never had a new car. It’s the best fake smell of all the trees... not because I love new car smell subconsciously. 😄

I like that scent too but I don't actually think it really smells like a new car. BTW I just thought I would point out that if something is subconscious you are most likely not aware of it or was that a joke that went over my head?
Awesome video again, Larry! Question, what's the fragrance that you use for Ammo Reflex? I can't stop sniffing the stuff when I'm applying it to my car! It smells amazing! What are the chances that you make an Ammo Air Freshener with that scent? 👍

Im a fireman and my Subaru xv was driven in the middle of a forest in fire, and it toke years to discover that the only way to eliminate the smell from fabric and plastic parts ways with vinegar. The situation is a little extreme, but I hope my experience helps somebody to solve similars problems. It was no posible to desamble the entire car, but now thw car smell better.

Did you spray or how did you get the smell out? I used vinegar in car before and the vinegar. smell lingered a long time
Great job sir. I tried detailing also but it's not perfect. Thanks for sharing now I have an idea.
Would are your thoughts regarding using a steamer on the seatbelts and other parts of the interior using this high heat process as a form of eliminating odors?
Really like the baking soda trick!
Very useful video sir. Thank you
I remember that as a little girl the new car smell got me sick it made me very nauseous to this day it still does I don't like it thank you so much for sharing that information with us.
Waiting for that Gelee to be in stock again. Good video as well
Will give it a go. Thanks!
Quick Tip! If you have leaves or Debris(like acorns) vacuum or blow out the housing before putting in a new cabin air filter. Any acorns are just hard enough to ruin the blower motor causing a noise or in some cases a horrible vibration!
This video is incredible
This guy is a god of detailing.
I have actually recreated the new car smell with Bondo mixed up on a pad left under the seat that should give you an idea of what you're smelling
The slow motion baking soda falling looks way cool 2:32
Super handy video thanks
I buy ground french vanilla coffee. Out it all over, under the inside of vehicle material. I've let it set for 2 days at times. I Then vacuum it which smells great! Vanilla goes through plastics. 😎 Coffee grounds both absorb & replace odors. Leaving a nice coffee/vanilla scent. 👍 Try it.
AMMO could you do a video on how to properly re “paint” your leather seats. I’ve seen it done frequently on others E46 M3s but would be an interesting video if there is a proper way to do it
Love your vids. Can you use a mixture of alcohol and water or rubbing alcohol alone to spray the A/C vents and ducts?
As always lovely video
I like these quick videos. Good, straight and to the point. I (personally) dislike the 17+ minute videos. I'm trying to watch this real quick, not watch a full episode... So, great job on this one!!!

Six years ago ,my family and I were driving around in our new VW SUV and in less than half an hour my 10 yrs old son started to feel nauseated and eventually puked on the floor. I knew that the gas out effect had a bit of effect on me but my son couldn't withstand it. So I agree that we must keep windows slightly open when driving a new car.
Awesome video, once again. Good to know I was already doing a good job. I don't get the baking soda part though? As for the mousse, I assume regular leather conditioner works too? I've just bought a 'new' car (1992 Caprice wagon) myself which I should receive in 2 weeks, can't wait to clean it ^^

Please. The guy dedicated his life to doing this job better and has the balls to actually spend time learning chemistry and formulating his own stuff that he feels is better than the competition. It’s like complaining that Ben & Jerry’s doesn’t show Haagen Daz ice cream. It’s not easy getting product into national channels and not necessarily even the best way to distribute. The guy does an amazing job educating the public. If he promos his own product in a video he produced himself and does a detail he does himself what crime is he committing?
Loved the leather smell in my wrx
I wish we had a detailer like you in the uk.
Good information...Thanks

Awesome! What do you recommend to clean BMW vinyl interiors?
perfect statement, the best smelling car is a car that doesn't smell at all! That's what I tell the wife when she wants to hang an air freshener in the car to get rid of odors ... Thanks for the great video!
Last summer my friend spilled about 2 cups worth of milk on my backseat. We were heading to work and I had no choice but to let it sit for almost 10 hours. When I got home later that day I just unbolted the seat and saturated center seatbelt buckle. I did not have the proper tools or chemicals to tackle this problem and I needed the car for work the following day. Here it is 5 months later. The backseat has been aired out for all this time but I don’t have a clue as to what I should do to make the seat safe to put back in the car. It’s a bench style seat. A giant block of foam wrapped in black cloth. I know hiding underneath the cloth is some nasty looking foam. 😔
This guy is the man -

Hi Larry. Can you do a review of your Festool vac please? Is it a good vacuum for car detailing?
What would you recommend to remove smells from a 2018 Mustang with heated/cooled Alcantara seats? Would the baking soda and your spray work?
I use weathertech floor mats. Makes keeping your car clean way easier.
Make more videos please i love em!!!
Hey Larry do you have any idea how to remove old imprignation over spray spots from leather,vinyl and plastic surfaces in the interior in a safe way?

I personally find the new car smell nauseating. However, I love the new sneaker smell.
Great info
Thank you!
Many smelly problems in vehicles come down to mold or mildew growth somewhere within the car. During summer, when we rely on air-condition to help us survive the scorching heat, our cars are susceptible to growing molds. We usually have our windows closed during summer to have the cold air from the air-conditioner to circulate. That alone will make the mold thrive and survive inside our cars.
Another well made video.plenty info. Plus you don't talk down to us .feel like we are all equals.😎

Hello just wanted a quick tip unrelated to this, I want to apply a sealant to my car and would prefer to strip the wax first, what is your preferred method for stripping wax? Do you have any videos on it or can you just tell me?
