More ozone. At least 24 hours. Leave the window open a crack to supply oxygen to the ozone generator, or better yet, leave the ozone generator outside the vehicle and use a window kit.

if its been properly cleaned I'd use chlorine dioxide, gas not liquid

ozone can degrade outright melt plastic trim

hydroxyls (I've got 3) work better imo than ozone on smoke.. still slow though, just more thorough

I just used clo2 on a urine job on wood subfloor worked great. I’ve never used it in gas form that’s gotta be deadly

The gas won’t damage the uph?

Try running a mister machine with light quat for an hour while the car is running with the air vents on the recycle setting. Thats how I knock out vehicle odors.

Makes sense. On our nasties ac n ducts get cleaned and treated!

Check cabin air filter if it has one.

I bought a ozone machine for $100 when I bought the GMC because it smelled like smoke.
Put it in overnight and it took care of it.
