I have heard that a good way to get ride of smoke smell is to take a bag of ground coffee and put that in the car for a day or two. This should help with the smell. Then remove the coffee and let it air out and should be ok. Do not smoke so can not be 100% sure if it works but worth a try. Might make the car smell like coffee but that should be better then smoke I would think.

I got scratch-x and meguiar professional glaze. I used them last year but applied according to meguiars directions and read later that i probably needed to apply with more pressure. I want to achieve as much of a deep wet look as possible.
