Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum

I recently purchased a FJ Cruiser from my friend. He used to smoke while driving, it cause the bad smoke odors inside. I tried some products to remove this odor, but had no luck. Looking for an effective way to completely remove the odor. Well, planning to visit Auto Parts Warehouse this weekend to try some new products.


Any recommendations and suggestions are welcome.

i would definitely change the cabin air filter. its located behind the glove box.

Yeah as Caveman said I'd start with the In cabin Air Filter. That will catch some of the smell. Might want to try dryer sheets. Put a few under your seat. They will mask the odor. If you've got a good vaccum cleaner with good suction, sometimes vaccumming can remove odor. I bought a used leather recliner from a guy that smoked, and I used my shop vac and cleaned it up. It got out most of the odor, and I used Febreeze Pet Owner to get the rest of it out. If you have nice weather you could open all the doors and let it air out. Usually that's the best way to go. Good luck.
