One of my favorite cars of all time had something that lived or was living in it. A 1987 Honda Civic Si. No radio, no ac, no power anything, just a stripped down single cam good time. Well it wasn't completely stripped. It had a nasty mousy smell of some sort. Part urine, part mouse home, part god knows what. It was worse when the heat was on full, but I couldn't get it shaken no matter how hard I tried.

I felt the animal went with the car as occasionally something like a stick or lint would shoot out the vent. It was almost as though he had a home up in there. I tried for a year with no luck. I finally bought a 'newer' nicer car to replace it, but she will be forever missed. It was such a good car that despite the smell a best friend and old roommate bought it. Totaled it a week later :(

Ohh to address your real concern, I can tell you that ZEP makes some wonderful products, and although I can't speak for there urine specific products, I can tell you that this stuff: http://www.zep.com/products/products.as ... Term=smoke removes smoke smell... no joke.

My new 86 Bertone X19 has a terrible rat piss smell. I'll take a free sample of your product! I've already pulled the seats, scrubbed the carpet with laundry detergent and hot water, sucked the excess water out, let it sit in the sun for two days, made a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, scrubbed the carpet again, vacuumed and it has been sitting in the garage with no seats for the past week. It was so bad, I packed the kids up in the Suburban and drove to the Outer Banks to get away from the smell. :cry:
