Need an Orange County, CA detailer who knows how to get rid of smoke

[travis]

I am about to purchase a 00 4Runner Ltd, but the previous owner smoked in it for 2 years. He says he only smoked with the windows down and did not ash in the car.

At any rate, I need a detailer in OC that is experienced in smoke removal. I need the smell gone!

Any recommendations would be great. Thanks.

I'm just 30 minutes up the road in Rancho Cucamonga, but honestly I'd feel guilty charging you to take care of the problem. The stuff linked in the previous post works pretty damn good... used it on a late 80's camaro I detailed a while back... had been smoked in for years and it pretty much knocked the odor right out... it did come back slightly (owner reported) when the summer heat came back, but 2-3 subsequent treatments and he hasn't smelled a thing since.

I say give that a shot first, and then contact me if it doesn't help.

You need to treat the ventilation system..............
