I'm the original thread starter and I just want to say that I had the car detailed and when they did that, they steamcleaned the interior. I made a special mention that I wanted to get a smell out. Whatever they did, and I think it was just a standard steam clean (and I don't think they steam cleaned the top), the smell is now gone.
I should have been more clear when I made the original post. I was objecting to what I think was a smoke smell. But more correctly, I was objecting to the industrial strength DEODORIZER that a previous detailer used to mask the smoke smell. They probably used a ton of that stuff and the smell stayed in the carpeting. My detailer's steam-clean probably cleaned out or flushed out the old deodorizer.
