I don't remember some of the smells mentioned here.

However, a good friend of mine, who owns a used car dealership where they have to fight this sort of thing all the time, has found that the best absorbant of strange car smells is a few cut up apples. This is done after the car has been thoroughly cleaned though.

Smokers cars are the worst. I just can't buy one, even after a detail the smell drives me nuts. When the windsheild in the SDL was replaced the guy doing it smoked around the car. I had to leave the windows down for a few days and detail the interior to get rid of it, drives me nuts.
