Cook, are you looking for "Cleaning" or "Oder" removal tips? One thing about oders, if you continue to smoke in the car, it will always be there. Oders get in fabric, leather, carpet, and everywhere else. Here is something I have found to work. Go to a lumber store, buy a sheet of "Impregnated Cedar" the same type used in cedar closets and chests. Cut a piece and put it under your seat/. One of the qualitites of cedar is that is absorbs moisture (and oders) while at the same time releases its natural scent back in the air. I also have at the shop a company that specializes in chemicals designed to kill oders which I found works well. forget about ait fresheners, they only cover up. If you need that web site, let me know, when I go in today I will write it down for you. Have a good one/ Gary

I also smoke, but I don't smoke in my PT, personnal choice. After dealing with the extra cleaning (ashes, smoke film on windows, etc.) on previous vehicles, I decided to avoid that with this one.

Gary, post the website address here, I'm sure many will be interested.

I have heard fabric softener sheets work well at removing odors. Put one in fresh air intake. Hey, can't hurt!

I'm the exact opposite cook, I smoke at the house but not in the car (plus I only have a 20 min. drive to work).
