1. Don’t smoke cigarettes.
2. Hyundai cloth is shit.

The car is a ‘13 with about 85k miles.

Smelled of cigarette smoke.

it looks like someone had multiple accidents, not traffic accidents, pants accidents.

Did the new leather help the smell at all? My first and current cars were previously smoked in. Smell is mostly gone now. Got them for cheap since the smell really gets to you.

That’s disgusting.

That two tone makes the car seem impressively more upscale.

I can’t remember where I first saw this phrase, but it was talking about a used car’s seats having the patina of a thousand farts. It is applicable in this case.

After sales tax, in the Charlotte CST shop, $1125.

It does, but the smell sticks in the headliner too. Ozium helps, though. Although cleaning the headliner with any thing but just plain water in a vacuum attachment is asking it to fall apart.

Cigarette smoke plus high humidity here in the south plus kids spilling things equal stains that won’t come out.

Also Hyundai fabric is garbage.

Patina of a thousand sharts might be more accurate here.

Looove the color combo on the after.

Need a hazmat suit to even look at the before photo.

Looks great! Hopefully they quit smoking in the car after this.

Wow, I was quoted that per seat for my mustang.

That leather job is really nice, but it’s hard to believe any cloth could get that bad without doing it on purpose. I mean, I stored wheelchairs in my cars in Midwest winters, with all the dirt and wet that goes with them, and never approached that kind of disaster.

Do you guys re-wrap steering wheels? My Prelude’s has a hole at the top and I was thinking about trying to find a way to get it re-wrapped with a GT3ish look to it, with a line at the top.

Get Hogwash from Amazon...clean everything and give a liberal spraying of this stuff to every surface. If it touches it it’ll kill the odor. Then run your A/C on recirculate and spray some aerosol lysol into the passenger footwell aimed up at the return vent until the lysol comes out of the vent ensuring it’s gone through the system...repeat that process from the outside vent by the windshield wipers. This should give you a better smelling car and potentially rid the smoke smell.

If you have access clean the seats and carpet with an extactor...even something like the Bissel spot cleaners you can buy for under $100.

take it home and put it in the washer, usually works. Then you have a clean set to sell.

Nobody buys them. Nobody even recycles the cloth. If it were factory leather I would have boxed it up.

Closest CST in Northern California is over in Hayward. That’s like - next to Oakland?

Well Hyundai fabric is that bad:

Their light beige absorbs everything. Cigarette smoke soaks into fabric and when it gets damp it just turns brown.

We don’t do that. Although a local trim shop could probably help you.

That seat looks like it was sitting outside on a curb in the smoldering sanded heat in saudi arabia.
