cleaning

I just purchased a car of a former smoker. It has and all white interior, and the cloth on the sunroof cover and the trim ssurrounding it are all yellow from the cigarette smoke. What can I do to clean this. Thanks

hum..sounds like my grandmas car. She smoked like 6 - 8 packs a day.. and her buick had a custom white leather interior..

when she died and i cleaned her car to sell it..i used pure vineager in a spray bottle with SOME water notta lot. and for the windows i used Windex with Vineager. You will gag when you see how much shit those things (ciggerettes) put out. And dont forget a TON of paper towels.

I would use an upholstery cleaner. You need something soapy to cut through the oily smoke residue. You know how they say smoke has tar in it? Well, you're looking at it!
