I've used it for about 5 years and it was used a couple times I had the car detailed by a local guy and it looks great, even after hard miles on track and lots of dings up front and under the doors. The dry spray can be used on a car that has been 'dusted' is really quick and comes up looking just washed after a couple minutes. I get mine from a local guy who distributes and I meet him every year or so to stock up. randy
#1865 of 1902 smokers smell by jrzdvl Feb 03, 2009 (1:38 pm)
I just bought a used vette once owned by a smoker and it smells approximaetely like a mens' room. I guess the smoke is in the headliner, the carpets, everywhere. Anyone have any special suggestions on getting rid of this, or is it just a matter of cleaning everything in sight. Hate to mess up the headliner although it might have to be replaced anyway.

Replying to: jrzdvl (Feb 03, 2009 1:38 pm) If it was a heavy smoker you'll never get it out, as it is in the padding etc in the upholstery. You could try a professional detailer/steaming/shampoo. It's worth a shot but don't get your hopes up.    Otherwise, yes, you'll have to rip out the carpets, seats and headliner and replace all of that The hard plastic stuff is okay.
#1867 of 1902 My 2003 is giving me the raspberry by bhill2 Feb 06, 2009 (12:51 pm)
The car starts and runs perfectly; purrs like a kitten, roars like a lion. However, when I shut it down, I get this noise from under the hood. It is fairly loud and sounds like perhaps a fan hitting a shroud or some such, but only lasts a few seconds. Any educated guesses or other people with the same experience out there?

Replying to: bhill2 (Feb 06, 2009 12:51 pm) Hmmm....any chance that this is post-ignition--a kind of "running-on" of the engine? Do you feel a shudder in the car or just here a noise with no vibration whatsoever?

Replying to: jrzdvl (Feb 03, 2009 1:38 pm) You might want to try a fire restoration company, contractors who do home rebuilding after a fire. Either they or a sub contractor have some pretty effective machines for smoke odor removal. Certainly worth an inquiry before tearing the insides up.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 06, 2009 2:00 pm) No, it's not run-on. The engine has stopped. There is no vibration, just the sound. It could be a solenoid pulsing for some reason I guess, but it is loud. One possibly useful piece of information is that I pulled into the garage yesterday and didn't shut the engine off immediately and I think it did it with the engine idling. I couldn't tell for sure, however. If it continues and I take it in, I will post the result.
