This morning i open up my car and as soon as i open the door... the putrid smell bum rushes me and i almost vomitted... it like.. got stronger... how do i get the smell out of the car?? i heard if its on people they take a bath in tomato juice or something... but where am i gonna get enough tomato juice to run my car through?!?! there has to be an easier way.. anyone with any help.. please comment... i am afraid to go into my car

If it helps any.. i had the air condition full blast when i ran over the dead skunk...
2000 Accord Coupe EX V6 if u needed to know...

i just got done spraying all my tires with that sun of a gun tire cleaner lol.. and then i had a bottle of car freshner or w/e and i sprayed that all around my car.. wasted the whole dag gum thing.. i also sprayed in my car on the floor... and in the little air condition vents on the far left of the drivers side.. .and far right of passenger side.. the 2 vents for air condition closest to the door windows basically... and i let down all the windows.... is there anything else i can do??

JDM Squash lol. Anyhow, I have never seen a skunk deoderizer before. They had this science deal on Myth Busters I think about the skunk smell, they had kept saying there really isn't a way to get rid of the smell, maybe I am crazy.

Squash indeed.

If I were them, I'd make this scent in a cologne form.

Just did this in my car, it contains enzymes that totally eliminate all odor in your car. It is BY FAR the best stuff I have ever used in my car.

These things are used all the time to get rid of really nasty smells in cars such as suicides and what not. If you ever watch myth busters it is the same stuff they used to clean up the pig smell in that Vette they just didn't use a fogger.

I have a 97 Accord and it has been smoked in since it was new and I just recently quit smoking and after doing this there is absolutely no trace of cigarette smoke in the car at all. It is amazing how good this worked, well worth the price.

find a giant tomato field and run over that, make sure to miss any other forest dwellers. that, or move to another city after you fix the problem, definately wont happen again.

you need to change your cabin air filters behind the glove box

spray a small amount of febreeze in the evap box while the filters are out.

I heard leaving an opened box of baking soda and letting it sit in there would work for a few week works.

wash the tires in tomato juice and it will take care of the problem. the acid in tomato juice will take care of the smell.

I think all these guys have good ideas.

But at the end of the day, you'll prolly have to wait til it's gone. Forget the tomato patch. Although that'd be fun as hell.

The fogger might cure it. Never heard of that.

The baking soda wouldn't be a bad idea anyway. The age old de-smeller. Put it in an open container under the front seat. And you can leave it there. It might need to be changed or shook up every once and a while.

thanks for all the help... i finally ended up using a gel can car scent of strawberry (autozone said it was the closest thing to jdm squash brand) and that was super strong... for a while i just got a strawberry skunk smell and at night i would just leave the windows and moonroof open... and finally the smell went away by itself!

man i wanted to try that tomato patch idea! sounds fun! well... at least the smell is gone...

i almost bought the fogger but the smell started to taper away before i made a decision on whether to buy it or not...

btw... febreeze and skunk smell DONT MIX!!! it just creates an even worse smell!!

thanks everyone
