hndgns4hrts Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Well the title says it all, 2001 Honda CR-V SE, leather seats, the car was full of smoke for about 5-10 seconds before everything was ripped out of the trunk. The amp was faulty, never seen a car audio place give a free upgrade so fast I've already sprayed an entire bottle of frabreeze (SP) in the car, and driven around all night with the windows down and heater on full blast. Thanks for any help, and please don't talk smack about how uncool, annoying, etc etc subs in cars are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Burnt electronics smell is a tough one. Give your local Servicemaster a call. They specialize in disaster cleanup. They can probably offer some suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I always heard that the fecal matter of a zimbabwaian frog lizard could remove any stink... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that happened one time when some Jiff spilled in my Maserati, 2 weeks later I had fuzzy splotches on my expensive leather! <_< It was weird though I was certain that leather ceased to be "living" after removal, I then found out that leather is still alive after it istaken from the "creature" especially so with the exotic leather manufacturing technique that Maserati uses, I was dumbfounded. WHODATHUNK? ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE: Try an large open can of coffee, it might absorb the smell a bit... Bking Soda might work also because it absorbs smells (works in refrigerators) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 The smell is in the fabric, like that on the floor and that lining your trunk. You'll have to clean them to get the smell out. I spilled something with a strong smell on my floor, and there was this foaming spray that you leave on for a little while that gets the smell out.

hndgns4hrts Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Yeah I've been driving around with the windows open, and frebreezing the heck out of the car. It has worked a little bit, but the frebreeze is starting to bug the hell out of me also, go figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
