Tough to get rid of. If purging soaked materials is an option (headlliner, carpet), i'd do that. Steam clean the rest, wipe down all the surfaces inside.

I use this stuff in my rental properties after a long term lease with pets.

Re: Smell of my car

Where are you located? I have an ozone generator I'd loan you if you were close.

20 minutes in an enclosed space like a car & you would be amazed!

Sodium bicarbonate and water scrub.

Re: Smell of my car

My solution was to rip all of the carpet out, since mine smelled like a locker room any time it was damp outside (which is 90% of Fl weather).
Now it's bare metal, and metal is good.
