    Yep folex works like none other to pull out ground in stains and grime. I mainly use the tuff stuff afterwards just for the scent, I find it embeds the scent into the interior better than anything.

    Yep there's one there, one that runs behind the panel by your knees under the column and one behind the center dash above the radio, all really easy to remove, and you can get to a lot of the ducting once they're out. Careful with the center dash piece there's a few hidden screws.

    Go back to the same kid and ask him if they have any light bulb oil and see if he looks? Poor kids these days.

    A tip I was taught years ago is simple and seems to work (when a house I bought from a smoking family was near choking with smell).

    Put shallow dishes of vinegar out for a few weeks. Inside a daily-driven car might take some creativity, but there should be options.

    Toyota dealer will change your cabin air filter for a fee whether you have one or not. Don't ask how I know.

    Or start a new thread on dealer rip offs, sounds like we all have a story or two.

    Get a ozone generator off Amazon. They work great and will eliminate almost any odor including smoke/mold.

    Agreed, cat pee will overcome smoke smell and any other you need to mask.

    Large bowl of vinegar set in the truck for as long as possible with the windows rolled up.

    baking in the hot sun = bonus

    There’s this odoban stuff at Walmart I use(Not for smoke smell, but a mildew smell I had). I sprayed it all over the carpet, and a ton of it in the vents and let my truck run on full A/C for about an hour.
