So I hit a skunk... and instead of going under the car it decided to get lodged in my bumper. So it was probably in there for an hour before we were able to get it out (it was stuck in there good) and the odor had plenty of time to circulate through my car and bake in the engine bay.

So has anyone one else experienced this? How do i get rid of the smell

 

oooo thats nasty!!!!

I ran over a dead skunk on the road and my car smelled for like 2 weeks or so and then it went away.

But in your case, it might be worse.

Sorry to hear about your incident. I have no solutions for you but hopefully it goes away soon..

I wanted to yack when i smelled it.

 

got sprayed by a skunk before....there is a method that worked for me...the white pieces of paper that u put in the dryer while u dry your clothes, cant remember the name but u know what i mean...put some everywhere in your car and let it it sit there for like a day or so it sucks it all up and your car smells like fresh laundry =) hope it works for u

 

damn matt, that sucks! maybe get your engine bay washed too? try the fabric softener sheets like mentioned above...good luck!

 

The white dryer sheets is called Bounce. You might want to change your cabin filter as well.

 

Well, there's always the old-school method of getting rid of skunk smell: wash your car in tomato juice!

 

^ hahahah yeah!

or boil vinegar in your car.. lol .. unlikely but it works haha

 

thanks for all the tips guys! do you know if ICBC would cover the cleaning? there's damage to my bumper too so it might be worth it to claim it

 

Sorry to hear it Matt15, I would try ICBC and then a good detailer..,

 

use another skunk to counter the smell.. two wrongs make a right
