How do you get skunk smell out of a car's exterior?
What's the best way to get the skunk smell off my car? I think I hit a skunk or some other animal, and the outside of my car has a terrible odor.

“Pew—let’s fix that! The best way to get the skunk smell off the exterior of your car is to use a vinegar-based cleaning solution.
You can mix one up at home by combining equal parts dish detergent and vinegar. Using a spray bottle that hooks to your hose (you can buy these at Home Depot), spray the underside of your car and your wheels.
Let it dry. If the smell isn’t gone, repeat the process.
We’re sad you hit an animal—but it could’ve been worse. Now’s a great time to evaluate your
car insurance
to ensure you’re covered in the event of a more serious accident. The Jerry
app makes it quick and easy to get a great policy at a great price. In less than a minute, Jerry gathers quotes from the top insurance companies and delivers them straight to your phone.”View full answer
