and this ...

How can I get the skunk smell off my car?

Hydrogen peroxide is the main ingredient in commercial skunk scent remover--AND it's dirt cheap.
1. Fill a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide, and spray the affected part of your car.
2. You'll know you've found the source of the odor when you see the peroxide foaming.
3. Don't forget to spray your tires!
4. Wipe the peroxide off quickly, as it has the potential to bleach some surfaces.

Thanks guys!

I'm going to try the dry mustard idea right now!!!
Hopefully she wont smell anything (Hoping, praying!!!)
I'll keep you posted!!!
Regards,
Louis

My mom's dog got sprayed a few months ago. Tomato juice and time were the only remedies. Good luck. Reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where the smell of the valet's BO is perma-stuck in the car.

OK Gents, I'm back from the date.....

I picked her up, and she asked rightaway what the hell is that smell!?!????
As we were leaving the coffee shop, she asked me to pull-over as she did not feel well.... SHE CALLED A CAB on the spot!!! told me that she liked me very much, but could not handle the SMELL!!!
GOD DAMN THOSE SKUNKS!!!!
At least she still wants to go out with me tomorrow!!!!
Guess I might have to ''rent'' a car!!!!

Note: I tried the Mustard idea.... still dosent work.... I'm almost ready to set fire to my G, but I like her way to much!!!!
