I have a big bottle of Folex to look after dog and cat related stains. I'll have to give it a whirl on the L400 to see if it takes a stain or two away.
I almost wish mine smelled like cigarettes...whatever 'scent' someone used either in Japan or at a detailer in Richmond to cover up smoke smell is on some days so strong it almost knocks me out it is so sickly sweet.

Re: yet another cigarette smell removal project
nice, glad ya'lls are diggin the folex (i'm on commission, lol), speakin of which, i have an old prolly 20 year old stain in the cruiser that i'm going to wipe out with this stuff.
dunno what's better smoke smell or post chemical use smell from a smoke bomb job with who knows what toxins are in there. delica's all dry inside, i'll use up the rest of the nature clean on the roof liner, then i'm gonna cake the carpet with arm and hammer carpet freshener stuff, and just regular baking soda on all the seats folded completely flat, then i'll let that sit for a couple days, then vacuum, then i'm gonna use our honeywell air purifier with heppa filters (and uv light/ionizer) with the AC on full blast and then heater on full blast with recirculate and will get back. THEN i'm gonna get a bag of charcoal, drop it in 2 buckets (with some water) and leave that in the rig...then i'll get the sweat from a goats balls (free range offcourse) and mix that with some of my son's pee, which i will then add drops in each air vent, then drive the van backwards counterclockwise 7 times and repeat clockwise with the japanese station set to 78.5 while the fan blower is on low, that should do it....lol.

Re: yet another cigarette smell removal project
That is awesome. I spit a little on my key board. Be careful while doing this as you might discover a flux in the time space continuum and become forever entrapped in amber only to be discovered by scientists and then extracted and have your DNA used to make asexual versions of yourself that may some day take over the planet. They should make a movie about this, only involving Dinosaurs. That would be awesome. Just a side effect I thought you should be aware of.delicioso! wrote:...then i'll get the sweat from a goats balls (free range offcourse) and mix that with some of my son's pee, which i will then add drops in each air vent, then drive the van backwards counterclockwise 7 times and repeat clockwise with the japanese station set to 78.5 while the fan blower is on low, that should do it....lol.

Re: yet another cigarette smell removal project
On a more seious note and not to hi-jack this thread, my Delica did not come with the joys of a Cig-smoker but rather a dog lover. Border Collies to be precise and possibly more than one. I have gotten most of the hauir up with about 15-20 lint roller brushings but there is still a bit there. I think I will shop vac the rest out. Awesome little present since I am allergic to animals. Kind of funny what habits from previous owners our vans contain. Found a seatbelt chewed all to crap so I had to widdle the plastic and smooth it off.
