Give all the leather seats a really good wipe down with BABY WIPES (cheap and work very well ) then give the carpets and roof liner a good "febreezing"

From when I use to work in the motor trade we used to use a product called "smoke bomb" (or similar) basicly its an aresol spray that get detonated in the car with the fans all on and the re-circulation button on and it completely destroys the odour.

It's is a seriously good product IMO and worked for me a treat. Let me know how you get on with it, like I said you might find it takes a few weeks to stop smelling so strong as it penetrates the headlining and air vents etc... At first you get out the car and your bloody clothes smell like it... People think you have a weird aftershave on.

Don't buy the car if its been smoked in. You can use whatever product you like but the result will always only be temporary. Yo can never really get rid of it even with the bomb thing.... Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Don't bother with anything that has a fragrance, it just covers it up and makes your car smell like a 1985 Nova.....chavtastic.
