As the Title states:


HELP!!!
I hit this dead skunk an 2 hours ago and now the smell is all over the place, tried to pressure wash her.......as I parked my car infront of my house this woman who was out walking her dog, asked me if I could smell it!!!
Left her outside with all the windows rolled down for an hour....
Made the mistake of parking the G in my garage, and now the house smells horrible....
Its back, outside with all the windows open as I speak.....what the hell do I do???

ANY ADVICE IS URGENTLY NEEDED, thankyou in advance!

 

Tomato juice will kill the smell. Wash your under carrige. I've used it befor and it works

 

Poor skunk.

 

its going to take several cleanings to get the smell off. its the thyols in it, humans are very sensitive to it. clean the tires, wheel wells, undercarriage ....every last inch. you can use homemade cleaners (watch mythbusters for the ones that work) or an industrial cleaner. i just hope your AC wasnt on with the 'outside air' function.

skunks stink, i can only imagine what its like hitting one. they spray out where im at and it just stinky, like 100ft away or more! it reeks!

gl with it. (ever watch that seinfeld episode with jerrys bimmer got a 'smell')

 

Seriously???

 

yes, tomatoe juice will work, but be careful in using it. may not be paint safe.

 

Thankyou,

Will start the washing....again

I'll post asap once I'm done...

Thanks,

 

OK, so I'm back from washing my G with tomato juice....!!! Smell is somewhat bettre, but i'd say that 70% of it is still there!!! AHHHHHH ****ing skunk!!!!!

Also, my vents were closed A/C off and for some reason, the inside of my car seems to smell worse!!!! (seriously,I'm going to be sick...)

Note: leather interior.....

What the hell I'm I going to do now???

 

A combination of baking soda, water and vinegar works to get the skunk smell off dogs. Maybe it would work on a car, and it might be paint-safe.

 

owned! haha j/k

i heard tomato juice takes it out

 

+1. You can get a big can at a food warehouse such as Sysco.

 

Seriously tho, that sucks. But you can't be the first person this has ever happened to. Have you looked online for any solutions?

 

Yup, I looked everywhere online for help....no one has any info on the subject it would seem.

So I detailed my G (again) this morning, and again before starting it still smelt worse inside!!! aHHHHHHHHHHHHH so pissed........

So I tryed using the same product I use in my airplane when someone pukes (its call ozanator) but it barely did anything!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH even more pissed....

I've got a date with this cutie tonight, and god damn, this isent going to help me make a good impression!!!!!

Now I'm desperate to get the smell out ASAP!!!

Maby I could just tell my date that I'm a heavy pot smoker....um???? That wont work either as I've never, ever smoked any pot that smelt that DANK!!!!

I'm about to start crying now.....

 

Before she gets in the car give her an air freshener to wear around her neck, seriously that sux man.

I would just take the advice of the others who posted and just keeping repeating over and over.

I could have sworn there was another unfortunate member of my350z that was in the same predicament, well with the skunk at least.

GOOD LUCK!

 

Yup, so I guess I'll just have to tell her the truth....
There goes my chances of getting laid in my G!!! ****!!! Oh well I guess buying my first house might pay off tonight,,,,if she dosen't vomit on the way there that is!!!lol!!!

 

OK guys. Tomato juice is acidic, and it has salt in it. That combination will lead to rust on any unprotected iron or steel surfaces...

 

****!!! and it did not work either, Wired 24/7, do you have any suggestions.....

At this point, I've got another 3 hours to get the smell out before picking her up.....

 

lather, rinse, and repeat. that sucks dude. try and borrow a friends car tonight!

Tip: Skunk Odor Removal from Car Exterior
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a skunk with your car, you can remove the odor by dissolving one cup of dry mustard in a bucket of water. Use this solution to wash your car. Use a mop to wipe the wheels and underbody, repeating if necessary.

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.
