So I ran over a skunk last night...
 

Luckily it was with my truck so it didn't get stuck under it.. however the smell is rancid till today,

last night I tried washing under it with detergent and water, today i tried bleach and detergent and pressure washing it, anybody have a similar experience? what did you do to get rid of the smell? do I just have to wait it out?

Your going to laugh, but a buddy ran over one about a year ago and he tried bleach, some sort of actual skunk smell remover etc, And NOTHING worked. Covered it up for a while but it always came back. He eventually got frustrated and used the age old trick- Tomato Juice. He used one of those backpack sprayers and a gallon or two of the stuff, let is sit for a while, then pressure washed with dish soap. Worked shockingly well.

This is from myth busters. I guess just make more accordingly to what you need.
I heard distilled vinegar and dish soap works too?

I just went to a carwash and got it done. No smell after it.

when my dog got sprayed by a skunk, we tried tomato juice.

tomato juice + wet dog fur was way more rancid than the skunk smell lol

edit: usually i just wait out the smell... though luckily i have not actually had one stuck under the car for a long time

r.i.p skunk

Laundry detergent works, but it has to be that powdered kind, the liquid stuff won't work. A skunk set up a nest right at the entrance of my friend's apartment and he got sprayed. The laundry detergent thing did the trick for him.

My brother ran over one as well. It was horrible, I felt so bad for the skunk. Anyways, we just waited it out. I think it stayed with the car for about a week or two.

vinegar

skunk smell gone! i guess it wasn't as caked on as i thought it was. it was gone by mid day.

People pay for skunk2 parts and you already have skunkx1 without paying for anything. WIN

Yeah but skunk2 stuff is shit

Just rear-ended a skunk tonight. RIP Skunk.
Drove to a 24h car wash right after. Still stinks.


I'll try that Peroxide-soda mix tmr.

it will last at least a week unless you take drastic measures. the smell slowly dissipates, just make sure you wash off your exhaust because everytime it heats up the smell will come back in full force until its dissipated.

Bumping this thread!

Just ran over a skunk, car smells inside out. I quickly went to Royal Oak car wash and used the pressure washer, but still smells. Going to try leaving baking soda inside the car, also under the car inside my garage.

Will also do a car wash and see if that helps. Hit the car with vinegar, what other methods?

Any other suggestions that has worked for you guys??

Skunk Odor Removal - How to Get Rid of Skunk Smell

Here is the secret recipe that WORKS. Mix the following:
1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent
Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.
Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable.
Let sit for five minutes and rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary.
For spray in the eyes, flush with water as soon as possible.

last time i was in burnaby these suckers were all around the streets no matter what...

i've had some gnarly poops that have smelled as bad as skunk spray, Febreeze only makes things worse.

real question is how long would your dick smell for if you fucked a skunk?

are you asking because bestiality is legal in Canada??..LOL

Never ran over a skunk but my dog has pick fight with them many time. Watching that dash cam video. Instead of trying to ran for it, the stop and tail up for a fight? No wonder they keep getting ran over

That stinks.
