Help!!! Hit skunk with my QX56. Garage fogged with smell!!!

It was roadkill but wouldn't ya friggin know it, I nailed it smack dab on the spray part. Nailed the passenger front fender well and part of the back.

Just took it to carwash and sprayed with hose. That brought it down from 10 to about 6 on worst smell in the world chart.

Anything that helps skunk odor???

Neighbors came over thinking I was brewing Heineken or something. Least their humor helped to chuckle about it.

WOW!!!

You're probably going to have to spray the area with detergent, let it sit for a minute and pressure wash it off. Do this this 2-3 times and it should be good as new.

I used that green stuff (cant remember the name) and sprayed the hell out of it. Then I powerwashed it and it was gone.

You must set the car on fire, right away. LOL
Buy cheap/bulk tomatoe juice and soak/wash the effected area.

Trade it in on a new one. Better reason than the ashtray is full.

Marcus, What are the chances of you hitting a skunk as well?

Thanks guys! Simple Green all over the place and she is good as new.

My throat actually burned from the first breaths in trying to get it out of the garage for the first time. Man those skunks are powerful!!

I would have taken it to Midas and had them check the front brakes and alignment.
