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. Good Luck! =)
Change your air filters. Get an undercarriage car wash. Sprinkle some baking soda over the carpets, then vacuum it up a few hours later. Leave the windows of your car open to air it out too.
Nature's Miracle makes a product called "Skunk Off" that works really really well. The smell is probably all over under your car and even in places you can't reach. Buy about four bottles of the product and spray it everywhere you can reach both inside and outside the car. Even with that it will probably take some time for all the smell to dissapate.
I've used this many times, have dogs that get skunked fairly regularly out here in the country. I've also used it on my hands after handling a skunked dog and on the side of my house and my porch after the dog got skunked right outside the back door.
tomato juice works but,personally in all the times i ever ran over skunks,flying down the highway with the windows open worked fine.although sometimes i had blast the area on the underside with hi-press wash.
to be honest I would fine a car detailer where you live and let them clean the inside of you car. That is what I would do.
