Neutradol air freshener works a treat on smoky smells, it's a little pot that you open the top of and just leave it. Stick it under a seat with a bit of tape or something and let it work it's magic. also available in aerosol form too

ive bought a complete new interior for it as even though it was a light fire in the back of the car it has ruined the whole inside , i have the inside completely stripped so i can scrub it with some type of cleaning/deodorising agent before i fit the new interior,so basically what im after is info on stuff to use that will deal with this level of damage

its suprising what you can do, ive chopped up lemons oranges before and sat em on a plate in the car for a day or so and it makes it all smell well nice, if your already stripped out just get yourself some upholstery cleaner ina squirty bottle a chammy leather type thing and a buvket of water
