The Greenbooger had an aweful smell of mice pee pee.  My first line of attack 
was to wash everything possible with Spray Nine...that included the heating 
ducts, upholstery, metal interior panels....just about everything I could 
access that rodents could.  Seemed nothing worked until I tried an aerosol spray 
for removing smoke odors.  The stuff is called Smoke Relief, made by the 
EnviroCorp company of Lindsay, Ontario.  This stuff is recommended for eliminating 
pet odors, smoke and the like.   A couple of good foggings and the smell was 
gone....permanently!  No residual smell afterwords too.  It says one ounce is 
good for 200 square feet so you'll have loads in a can for a number of car 
interiors.  It's sold in Canadian Tire stores up here but there must be an 
alternative down south in Pep Boys or other automotive chains.  BTW...I tried the 
Fabreeze solution and it just didn't cut it...this was my last and finally resort.  
I'd still advise washing everything possible with Spray Nine before 
hand...and wear a good painters charcoal filter mask for both the toxic qualities of 
Spray Nine and the rodent urine.
