Default INTERIOR: what to use to remove smoke smell

I bought a used Z like 6 months ago. And I don't smoke, I open the windows all the time and even had an interior shampoo at mister carwash (which got rid of alot of the smell).

But there's still noticeable amounts of that smoke smell in my car.
What can I use to get rid of it?

If you have the "leather seats", you might try Zaino "Leather Cleaner" and "Leather in a Bottle". I don't smoke, but after 18 months, my leather still smells "new". Might hide what is in the carpets and etc.

Try spraying some cat urine around the interior. No more smoke smell.

Ozium, you can probably find it at the dealership.

Z interiors are obviuosly very small space...smoke has probably penetrated every nook and cranny...you will need to wipe down every possible surface with a cleaning solution (simple green very diluted or a woolite dilution I've heard of as well)...glass needs wipe down...some how the headliner needs it and the rugs again...try spraying lysol in your in your vents, incase the smoker before you switched the air to recirc while smoking(dont wanna waste that good nicotine!)

I was once told that used car dealers use Ozone generators to deodorize

if you go to any body shop they can give you the number to a detailer who will be able to ozone your car. after that there will be no odors at all in your car and i mean none at all its amazing.

A few people I know swear by this deodorizer...I've never tried it myself, though, so I can't say for sure how good it is.
