Hey guys when I bought my 2004 Colorado it's previous owner was a smoker and the dealer masked it with something. But now I can start smelling the odor again. Does anyone have any good Colly care tips that would help remove the odors?
Never heard that one. I suppose it could work.I just read somewhere that if I spray a bleach/water mixture or 2-3% into the vent intake and run them fullout it will help kill the odor in there. Have you ever heard anything like this before.
Is there a cabin filter in a collie? If so Change. My Pontiac Vibe I had had one made a huge difference.Hey guys when I bought my 2004 Colorado it's previous owner was a smoker and the dealer masked it with something.

Good advice!:great:Is there a cabin filter in a collie? If so Change. My Pontiac Vibe I had had one made a huge difference.
I'll ask my Dad tonight. I only drove it once and I was too busy beating the crap out it :lol:Thanks for your help guys and the advice on the cabin filter sounds great. But does the 2004 Colly have a Cabin filter? If so where is it and how do I change it?
Thanks for clearing that up Dan, even better. A good professional cleaning.The GMT355 platform does not have a cabin filter.
I have a mobile interior repair business and use a fogging machine that carries and oil based enzyme to combat the source of the odor. I have also found that shampooing or steam cleaning the carpet, seat fabric or leather and headliner material will eliminate most of the odor causing gunk. What smell does remain is embedded into the foam or substrate.
To eliminate the embedded odors, Febreeze and like odor removers should work or use an ionic odor eliminator. They actually work but take a few days to more than a week depending on the severity of the odor.
Good luck!
