Smoke Odor

What do you guys use to mask the smoke odor. I smoke occasionally in between sales calls. My fiancee can't stand it and I don't want my car to smell like smoke when people get in and out. The yankee candle leather scent does a good job, but I would like a neutralizer for the smoke odor. Has anyone tried Ozium? thanks for the input.

I personally love the smell of original Ozium, but it also comes in Vanilla flavore as well, but it's too fruitty I think. Kills all kinds of smoke, trust me on that one.

I have a lot of faith in FEBREEZE...used that in old football locker and practice uniforms and it worked great.....just spray alot of that stuff and let the car sit during the day with maybe a lil crack in thew windows for the car to breathe.

Just bought Meguiars odor eliminator. Man it works great. Probably just like Febreez. I spray it on the carpets and it immediately starts working.

I don't personally smoke but on the rare occasion that I let my friends smoke in my Max, Febreeze works really well to get rid of the smell IME.

I smoke. I clean my interior, not even the seats necessarily, but the cleaning smell is enough to mask the smoke smell.

Im feel I owe you an apology JMH8 and to everyone. That is an extremely immature comment on my part. My best guess would be to use fabreeze...

ive always used febreeze to eliminate the odor, and try using AXE, or some other kind of good smelling deodorant to make the car smell however you like. trust me, ive had to put a lot of thought into this over the last 2 years i have faith in febreeze.

just take a toilet paper roll, one rubber band and 4 dryer sheets.

1) hold toilet paper roll
2) layer dryer sheets
3) put dryer sheets over one end of toilet paper roll
4) rubber band the dryer sheets to the TP roll
5) when exhaling smoke, blow into the end without the dryer sheets. Cant smell **** but good ol dryer sheets.
6) look at dryer sheets after a while, think 3 cigs or whatever you smoke, and your lungs look like that.
7) say **** it and light up another.
8) enjoy.
