COME AT ME BRO
Browsing other places and threads made me recollect an idea I had some time back -
Being someone who hunts on a fairly regular basis, I have all kinds of hunting paraphernalia lying around. One item that I thought might be useful in my vehicle cleaning/detailing applications is the scent removal products hunters use to spray on their clothing.
While I'll admit I have "bought into" the scent control sprays for hunting purposes, I know that a lot of them don't do a perfect job. However, there's a couple of products I have used that have worked wonders - essentially "killing" odors, and leaving the fabrics odorless. Since most vehicle air fresheners are based on leaving some sort of smell behind or masking over the offending odor, I thought I would try out the scent removal stuff in the vehicle instead.
Long story short, my brother is a smoker and his 2005 King Ranch F150 had somewhat of a smoker smell in it. He wanted to try something to get rid of the smell. We used some stuff I had in my hunting equipment stash - sprayed the carpets, under the seats and sprayed some in the vents & the blower area (I cannot remember if we changed a cabin air filter or not). It worked great. Got rid of the smoker smell, did not leave a fruity or strong scent behind. While there may be auto or home products aimed at eliminating odors, I don't know of any that wind up leaving a neutral scent.
I have since used it in my truck with great results. :bigups
