I'm a little striped skunk....

Mark says a guy he works with had the same thing happen. He called his insurance and they took care of it (I guess he had to take it to someone who cleans up after people die)

Have you tried putting a dish of ammonia in the car? Our dogs got sprayed once, and hubby put them in the car, and then realized they had been skunked. Ammonia did help. Sounds like yours might be in worse shape, though.

Isn't tomato juice suppose to help neutralize the odor?

My friend hit a skunk and her car smelled for a week. We sprayed some type of ozone spray in it and that really helped neutralize the odor.

I ran over a dead skunk once when Zoee was in the car with me (almost a year after she'd been skunked herself) and the look on her face was like - uh oh, here we go again. I had to explain to her that it wasn't her and she was fine. I left my car at my brothers for the weekend or a few days and he said he'd walk outside near the car and could smell it. It was fine by the time I had to get back in it, thank goodness.

Look for a car air freshener with ozone or something in it. I can't remember the name of it, darn it. But it will probably smell until it wears off the under carriage of the car. Bummer.

I had never smelled FRESH skunk until Zoee got it in her face. It did make me gag so I know how bad it must have been IN the car.
