- Can this yellow gunge from AirVidox permanently eliminate the smell of cigerattes from this car? I tried it and waited 3 months to see if the smell returned.

It is so unlucky the secondhand roof liner smelt like cigarettes because it looked so good!! Can you imagine how strong these particles are and how deep down in the liner the were? For anybody buying interior parts in the future, it's a good idea to ask if the owner smoked, as we learnt. Thanks for your service, Richard! And the sigh of relief after all was done must have been amazing. 😅
It does feel good to have what feels like my old car back.
Your videos never cease to amaze me, Richard, love them, passed my driving test last week, if you wasn't a driving instructor, I would still be on lessons, thank you! Your a lifesaver.
That's really great to hear! Congratulations on passing!
Thanks!
Really interesting video mate!
Really interesing video, a thorough and unbiased test. Car looks really good for 200,000 miles.
I wonder what driving in Spain is like, can't wait to know Richard!
675 is a steep price. I get what you mean though, even little things being off can you make you feel less 'at home' in your own car until you fix them
That was awesome video❤️❤️. how to clean your value. How much will it cost 🤔
Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where Jerry can't get the smell of BO out of his car lol
I don't know why I watched this but I was entertained 😊
I used the Air Vidox in my car that had previously been smoked in. I followed the instructions exactly. I have found that it didn’t work and the smoke smell is still there. What I do now is have a California Scents cherry air freshener in the car and this seems to mask it somewhat but I always notice the smoke smell when I first get in. I might look into replacing the roof liner. That seems like a good idea.
Once again, Richard, you haven't failed to disappoint us with amazing content
I think you meant to say he hasn't disappointed us, because what your saying means that he always disappoints us
Really unfortunate that you were out the £160 for the first headliner and then an additional £675 on the new headliner, not accounting for the cost of various cleaning products.
It's funny how how much more we can waste in an attempt to avoid seemingly large costs.
To be fair I'm quids in with many other attempts I've made to save money. You win some, you lose some.
The previous owner could have at least told about his addiction to cigarettes :(
lol yes
It's usual now anyway lol
An addict doesn't tend to notice the problem because it's what they are used to. Completely nose blind. I remember visiting my dad when i was a kid and i brought a dog teddy, my stepdad and mum smoked but it wasn't until i got to my dads house that i realised the dog teddy stunk of cigarettes. I had to leave it in my bag.
Might not have even been them! Could have been previous owner. He just might not have been that bothered about it. My old Toyota Celica had 4 previous owners and I know for a fact the owner before me didn’t smoke (my ex’s dad) but the person who bought the car after me (my friend) always maintained he could smell cigarettes, even when I owned the car. Didn’t bother my ex’s dad, didn’t bother me. He still loved the car mine.
There’s no previous owner he’s owned the car since brand new
Hi Richard great video i hope to get to problems associated with old age like yours but im finding it hard to find a good vag specialist for my seat leon my services plan with the dealer is going to end soon do you think staying with main dealer is worth the extra money.Maybe a video idea:how to find a mechanic as i know its a problem many face.
It's not about where you go, it's about who you get. It comes down to the individual that works on your car. That's why I like to do as much as I can.
@@RichardFanders yeah i agree i feel even the main dealer is not safe as i had my clutch changed by them and now experiencing a new issue where the 1st gear doesnt engage sometimes.Any vag specialist you recommend as i really want to adopt your concept of keeping a car for the long term and looking after it with the saved money.
How did you fit the headlining? Did you glue it in?
There are clips, it's held up by other parts of the interior.
You should make a long term review of your leon, vw has bit of reputation for unreliability but I do believe any car lasts forever if properly cared for.
Also why didn't you trade in the car when the warranty ended?
I want to make a review. There hasn't been a new car in the same class that has made me want to change yet. Also, keeping the Leon has saved me a lot of money and paid for a lot of the MX5.
I wonder what would have happened if you used it a second time, maybe it would have gotten rid of the lingering smell too? Also have you considered using an ozone generator?
I've not considered an ozone generator. I will look into it.
Definitely give ozone a shot. It’s very good at smokey smells. Worked at a place where building next door caught fire and all our merch smelt of smoke. Ozone took care of it. Couldn’t believe how well it worked
Was it not possible to get the old original stripped and retrimmed?
Probably, but I wanted it to look OEM.
Well done you put a lot of effort in. I guess it's a life lesson to remember for the future when buying stuff like cars or car parts to see if it's from a smoke free home. Smokings vile and should be banned ditto vaping.
I enjoy your videos.
Did you think about glue instead of replacing it? I've seen some videos about people removing the old glue and using some sort of spray with new glue. The results normally are quite nice, but maybe that's only for TH-cam 😅
Ozone generator may of worked better then the chemicals.
This 100% it's what dealerships use when they receive a trade in that was smoked in.
I have started experiencing slight hiccups on my car... Yes the mileage is more than 200000.....what should I do please.??
Are we gonna get the Seat Leon review anytime soon? 👀
When I have time I will.
@@RichardFanderscant wait
Remind me of those teaching assistants at school nice acting bro
I'm a smoker. But I never smoke in my cars. Even on long travels. I just stops every 2 or so hours. I know how deep that smell can go. And I don't want my family who travels with me to breath by that stuff.
Hi richard im a professional detailer and if you ever have a nasty smell in your car id recomned a product called valet pro enzyme odour eater
Thank you.
Try an ozone generator
lol that will cost £
You have no idea what you are talking about, you can rent one for much less than the cost of a new headliner.
I'm a smoker and I smoke in my cars, so perhaps I'm not the best guy tu judge, but I HATE the smell of brand new cars, or those I've driven, the cheap ones (not being an ass, the MK1 Leon was one of them). They all seem to smell like plastic and rubber, not the most pleasent smell of them all.
Barring perhaps fresh dogshit, there is absolutely NOTHING worse than the vile stench of stale cigarette smoke. Like you said, you're a terrible judge.
You should proberbly put the tub inside a bowl you don't mind throwing
Good tip!
You should have gone to a professional cleaner and asked if can be done, maybe they could told you if is possible
You like me I hate when something is not right in my car
Is TH-cam glitching? My other comment has no heart?? Was it accident?
😂 Here is one.
@@RichardFanderslol
@@RichardFandersomg I'm talking to myself Hi self
I'm on my alt now lol I did that only to get more hearts and replied
Best driving instructor in the universe
Take it to a detailer and they'll remove it
Any mk5 Golf owners watching this video. Just curious 😅
I buy good whisky for 675 pounds
The smell of cigarettes is revolting, especially where it's been allowed to penetrate objects like furniture (and car interiors!). I cannot understand how anyone smokes in a confined space like a car in this day and age!
It's interesting how disgusting I find the smell now. It's rare that I'm anywhere near someone who smokes, but when I am I can't stand it. Back in the late 90s when I was a teenager (showing my age!) I spent an awful lot of time in pubs and clubs and many of my friends smoked (I never did), and I never had that much of a problem with it. Now it's much rarer, I find it gross!
