Just bought a Fiesta ST that stinks of fags. I've sponged the headliner and have cleaned all the plastic with polish and Febrezed the interior and have an Einszett air con cleaner and cabin filter en route but if that doesn't work, is there a good valeter near Caerphilly or Cardiff who can get rid of the insidious fagash smell to which I am particularly averse? I've read about things like ozone generators that can be used.

I wouldn't have bought it but it was otherwise way better than all the others I saw and I got it for a good price.

I haven't finished yet - may stick bicarb in the carpets but it's fine when used, you only notice it when it's sat for a day or so. I may even hire a carpet cleaner and do the house at the same time.

How's the Chevelle looking?

Wipe all the interior down with Milton Sterilising fluid. Once everything is bone dry, sprinkle baking soda on the seats & carpet, leave for a couple of days and hoover up. You will also need to clean the air con/ventilation system. Specialist cleaners are available from motor factors.

I'd have thought all the above suggestions will work.

Last resort is to have the interior fogged, which I can arrange for you if required.

Best regards,
