Removing Skunk Smell From a Car

I ran over a skunk on Saturday night. I thought it was a possum, so I opened up the windows to see if it was a skunk or not by the smell. Of course, it was a skunk, and now my car reeks of skunk. I am unable to drive it, because the smell is so unpleasant that it actually makes me gag.

I know that there are posts on here for removing it from the outside of a car, but does anyone know any ways to get the smell out of the interior of my car? I've had the windows open for the past 2 days, and the smell hasn't dissipated at all.

RE: Removing Skunk Smell From a Car

Go (or drive) to your local fire station/ambulance station. They have stuff that is used in automobiles that cleans the air out from when people die in their cars and have not been found until they have been in the sweltering heat for a couple of days. I do not know what the name is of the stuff but they do! So go ask them to help you after all they are "public servants" in other words "they work for you not you work for them, and I am sure they will help you if you ask. Let us know how you turn out on this.

Try putting coffee (new dry coffee from a can) in a pan (like a kitty litter pan or dish pan) in the car. Close the windows and let it sit in the sun for a couple of days. The coffee should take the smell out.

My husband said to get something called Dead Down Wind Spray. Its an odor neutralizer that Hunters use. You can get it at Sporting Good Stores.

This sound crazy but when I was a child living in the country my grandmother used tomato juice! She said that the acid in the tomatoes neutralized the odor. Carla
