Next time you have to do some smoke removal, let me know. You need to get these two items. One cleans the A/C system, other is a fogger and it kills all of the odors in the interior. Works VERY easy and fast.
By the way, that car was nasty, nice job!

Very nice and so fast too. I like the turn around in the interior....very nice.

Question for you, could you explain how your using your Ridgid shop vac? I mean do you vacum first? I'm assuming so but when it's time to use the shop vac as an extractor what is the process for that? Just wondering that's all

I vaccuum everything first, except floormats unless they are very dirty.

For floormats I just shake real well to get the loose dirt/stones off. I then go directly into my APC+ 10:1 and Folex cleaning, then I use the vac and go slow. Same process for the carpet.

Sounds good, just curious that's all. Thanks for sharing.

That's what I do.
You do great work. Don't you hate doing smoker's vehicle. I get yellow stuff off the inside glass.

Nice job on the interior

Smoker's interior can be real nasty at times.
How was the head liner was it dark looking, from the smoker

I love carpet stripes!

The yellow film contains nicotine from what I understand which can cause problems if absorbed through the skin and is an excessive amount. Be like putting a bunch of patches on (I know someone who did this!). Fast heart rate, shakes, dizziness and to the hospital. Really greasy yellow is the stuff that is supposed to contain nicotine. Doubt the windows would be enough to get you sick but in a really bad smokers car I would suggest butyl or latex gloves. Better safe than sorry.

Me too on the carpet stripes btw!
