Getting rid of smoke smell

What can I buy at advance auto or autozone to get the smoke smell out of a car.

My parents got a good deal on a Tahoe but the previous owner smoked in the car. I am planning to shampoo and steam the carpet along with conditioning the leather.

What more can I do.

If you want to do it right, you will need a fogger. A pro can do it for you...

Find a detailer with an ozone generator or a place to rent one .. they will kill the deep down odor.

Ozium is great for covering up recent smoke, but for your problem it won't help much. Ozone generator is the best option, if you don't feel like spending that much just clean all of the fabric. Make sure to clean the headliner too.
