20 second advanced secret summary (TLDW @5:48) Clean like normal, use 10:1 diluted Schaeffer Citrol 266 on fabrics & headliner. Spray liberally but not saturated, wipe down, spray again and let sit to eliminate odor. Don't use on soft touch plastic. Clean door gaskets because ozone won't get them. Got it. ;)

Thank you 🙏🏾 I just bought a car and the smell is unbearable I’m gonna be doing this basically all next week. I know this might work but I’m gonna do this everyday until it’s gone. It’s almost psychological now. I can smell the car when I’m not even inside it’s this is a time saver

I enjoy your videos and for those who complain about his lengthy videos, when you explain anything to someone including people who don’t know how to do things, you have to explain in great detail and repeat yourself so that way it stays stuck in the brain, you know muscle memory. So Scott keep going I enjoy your videos

Scott, thank you for putting out this video and helping us beginner detailers. Love your videos.

It's too bad when people make unkind comments about you. I appreciate your advice and taking the time to share your expertise. I've learned a lot....thank you.

Great job Scott! Keep the long videos coming. Details are great. Any viewers who don't have the patience fast forward please. I listen to him from start to finish. I have learned alot from him.

Incredible tip. Thanks for sharing Scott

Drinking game, drink every time he say I'll tell you why In a minute hahahaha

Great info. I definitely learned a lot here. I always like your videos.

Thank you for the tips. My sister's heater blower motor burned up and I immediately removed the motor from the truck but the smoke smell was SUPER strong. Do you have any long term suggestions?

All the commenters talking about how much you repeat yourself... In today's world it is necessary. Most people don't listen and don't ever hear what you're actually saying. I am an instructor for military men and women, and we repeat 10 to 15 times and they STILL miss test questions. Keep up with what you are doing Scott. I like that you don't use an editing team and a bunch of music etc... You just make videos like real people are doing a job. You keep mistakes in them, you don't edit out anything, and that shows genuineness. Keep it up. Every time I watch a video, I learn a little tidbit that I hadn't thought of, and I have been detailing cars for over 20 years. Most of the things I already know, but it is the little things, like you said, that take you from good to excellent. Thank you!

Exactly right, such as a guy who commented out of exasperation on his carpet cleaning trick (with the blow-gun) and said "okay I get it, Super Clean 2:1, thank you" or words to that effect but in all actuality Scott said 4:1... repetition is a classic training method which has been around for years upon years, nowadays some people are just so impatient that they probably COULDN'T do the meticulous task of detailing BECAUSE they are so impatient! I for one am graciously thankful that Scott provides the information he does! It's a veritable gold mine of information!

Great vid as always. I always recommend and replace the cabin air filter in combination with thorough interior cleaning to remove smoke smells. 👍

Thanks so much for the video, very helpful, informative, and properly cautious. I really appreciate you revealing the secret! I had a question: how come you can use Rapid Remover in the same way, even though their SDS ingredients listed are almost completely different? How do you know it'll have the same effect? Also, is there another chemical available that can be used the same as Citrol and Rapid Remover in these situations to remove heavy smoke odor (that you know of)?

You are 100% correct about the dangers of Rapid Remover. I use it for vinyl graphics removal/cleanup and one of my guys put the bottle away without making sure the lid was screwed on tight and just the fumes leaking out softened and/or delaminated every plastic item in the tool bucket with it. It's powerful and effective stuff, but has its dangers too. Excellent video.

Scott, what do you do to prevent overspray from going everywhere when you do the headliner? What’s you’re technique? Keep up the great vids👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Scott thank you for those tips , I Was a smoker for 40+ years, now I am smoke free since 9/2012 ❣️❣️💖 finally and Thank God ! Those odors are so hard to get out permanently . I have a daughter that is a smoker and this is the part she has to do to get away from the smoking. It’s all in retraining the brain. I was blessed with a hate hate of the odor. Now I’m disgusted with the odor and it makes me yack if I’m to close to the butt can smell😖🤮. So I will have to help her clean her vehicle . One more thing, do you have a suggested way to clean your HVAC airway also? Thank you so much.

Hi, i Followed all your Tips for smoke removal and Thank you!! Now should I follow up with an ozonator? Will it be a big aide in my battle to remove the smoke odor permanently? I would have to pay for that service at a local shop is why i ask. Regards, Steve.

Great tip thanks for giving safety details to not mess up vehicle

Hey Scott, would you recommend using Super clean as well as citrol for removing smoke smell, because thats all I have at the moment? Thanks

Thank you for the tips Scott!

The knowledge keeps coming, you are the best Scott!!!

Love it . . Long yes but good . . Now what about Leather what do I use for that i have so many seats I have is combine fabric and leather not plastic (well some plastic) JP

Really love your video! Thanks for explaining in so detail. Did have a couple of questions for you. With regards to using Citrol 266 on headliner. Do you also soak it like you soaked the seat in your video? I have heard that if you put to much liguid on the headliner you can cause the headliner to come loose from the Headliner backboard and start hanging. Would you be able to please provide tips or video on how to properly clean headliner to remove Cigarette smoke. Also if you can recommend the proper cleaner to use on dashboard and Hard plastic to permanently remove smoke odor from car. Really appreciate you taking the time to provide these professional tips to us.

Wow!! Finally some real world advice from someone who has used the product. And you have no sales ambition with this product. Thanks.

Nothing wrong with explaining something to someone in great detail. If they remember anything they will remember what u said thru repetition. And then and only then will they get it.

Very informative. Love it!

Scott, to be clear, rapid remover will do the same thing? It won’t change the colors of the cloth seating, head rest etc. on my vehicle when used? Reason I ask is because the pricing is much lower for rapid remover. Thank you for the video!

Good Afternoon Scott, I was wondering if you could tell me where you get the gallon of Citrol? I know Amazon has it but I was wondering if there is a retail store I could get it from? Thank you for your time and have a great night.

Great information bro appreciate this video .

Thank you Scott!

Great stuff!

Thank you Brother!! I REALLY appreciate it. I have an account with Work trucks and I've been having a Really Hard time getting rid of the smoke smells..... this tip helps, but Defiantly need to careful using it. I appreciate this video, I think I will self contain that spray bottle that contains this chemical, it seems to be Pretty harsh on plastics as such as you have described. God Bless you Brother!!!👍🏽✌🏽

They have the citrol 266 in a spray bottle... is it the same 10 to 1 ratio or is it more potent and I should stay away from the spray?

Thanks for another great video Scott! Curious if you ever tried Zep's equivalent degreaser vs. Citrol 266? It's easier to find - most 266 is in spray cans

As a head housekeeper for major hotel....zep sucks, citrol works.

Scott, am I hearing you correctly, is the product Citrol as in Schaeffer's Citrol? What product are you using? Thanks!

As always great stuff, much appreciated. Looks like Scott never answers the comments so I'll throw it out to anyone with knowledge: in the interest of covering up vs. actually eliminating smoke odor, does Citrol 266 diluted 10-to-1 (or Rapid Remover) leave any scent of its own behind, and if so, does it eventually dissipate, and if so, how long before it does? I need to know these details before using either product and I'll tell you why in a minute. (you know you read this in a heavy Howard Stern accent)

Hi. Thanks for the video. You have the links for both the aerosol and the liquid. The liquid is such a big bottle. Can I use the aerosol? If so, how? Thanks!

Just curious Scott, what is your price for something g of this caliber? Never had to clean a smoker's vehicle but I have been asked about plenty of times.

I looked at a car today and passed on it because of an overwhelming cigarettes smell. The price was great but I got scared. This video just gave me the confidence to go ahead and take a chance on it. Now let's just hope it's still available..lol.

I use Meguiars bottles as well, isn't 10:1 ratio to fill with product just above the little crease on the bottle? If you fill to the top the ratio would be lower.

Is the dilution ratio 10 parts Citrol to 1 part distilled water or vise versa?

I can’t find citrol 266 is goo gone spray gel citrus power, the same type of stuff?

Can you damage plastic with citrol? Just curious.

Love your video Scott.. wish u lived in the northeast I hire u in a heartbeat ..I am currently looking to buy a used truck 2020 gmc 2500 Denali but there is a very strong order of smoke..can it be removed?. Is there a way I can look for a professional like yourself in my area?.. or should I just not buy it?.

Such good information delivered in a hard to view way

Thank for the Video!

Thank you SO MUCH!

Scott great video! I understand why you stressed on how to you use but these people are so ungrateful writing these comments but anyways I wanted to ask you I just bought Citrol 266 after watching your video because this vehicle I just purchased & wow is it bad! Anyways I wanted to know if you have any pointers on doing a fabric headliner? how do you apply the Citrol to headliner? And also how can you clean the headliner? Shop vac? Drill with brush attachment? If you could reply it would help me more then you know - thank you Scott have a blessed one!

Hi where do you buy that product you use to remove cigarette odor

CAN THIS BE USED ON LEATHER? OR PLEATHER RATHER?

What ratio super clean:water do you use for the plastic pieces?

Is there another product that works as good or almost as good as citrol?

How can I remove the stains that are on the roof of the car from smoking?

Another use for a great product I still haven't bought yet! Thank you Scott for the knowledge!

Can Citrol 266 be used on Leather Seats ?

Did not work for me. Smells great for a few days then goes back to usual smoke smell. I've done the whole super clean and vacuum. My next step is steam and extractor and we'll see if that changes things.

I'm glad I read your comment before I ran out and bought some. I'm thinking the only things that are going to work are replacing the cabin filter but before you put a new one in, I read that spraying lysol into the air conditioning system helps alot as well as an ozone generator. $ 66 bucks online at home depot. Hope this helps. Let me know if you decide to try so you can tell me if they worked yes? Thanks!

@WisdomTooth101

5 жыл бұрын

@@rachelshaw9985 Replacing the air filter is obviously a must-do. The ozone generator was pretty good in removing the smell from the air vents, but not from the headliner/leather seats. I also used a product called ZorbX in the vents (basically like rubbing alcohol). This helped in the vents and is safer to use than Citrol. I also sprayed it on the headliner/seats but like Citrol, once it's dry the smell came back (and it's just too expensive to keep trying). I'm trying to find the time to steam the entire car, then will re-apply Citrol or ZorbX after having steamed it. Another issue for me is the heater core has also picked up the smoke smell, and the only way to clean that is to steam it (or take the entire dashboard apart!).

Will ozone machine remove the smoke odor?

I like your tips and tricks. If I could make a suggestion, script your videos, and keep it to the point. That is a good suggestion for at least half of the people on youtube.
