the other day I was on my way home with some spray paint for a project I was doing. well the bag must have shifted and sprayed in the bag. entire car smells like spray paint now. its slowly going away but anyone got any secrets to clear it all up? only thing I know is to buy a small bag of charcoal and slit it open so the coals suck up the smell.

have you considered killing yourself in it? After a week that paint smell would be hardly noticeable.

try opening up a can of coffee, and letting it sit in your car overnight, coffee is one natures strongest deodorizers.

So the real question is, why were you transporting without the cap on cans ?

huffing and driving never tried it, how is it?

Yup, that’s an old chef trick. My wife does the same thing- works great after making stinky food too. If it clears up an entire kitchen I’d imagine it will clear up a Dodge Neon pretty quick.
