The above is a start. My situation was prior owners cigar smoke which was awful! I did everything possible: Cleaned every square inch of the inside literally! I shampooed the carpets, steamed the headliner and shampooed with a deodorizer again, changed the cabin filter, ran the ozone generator several times, sprinkled arm-n-hammer carpet (powder) and revacuumed. I spent a few weekends on this for hours and after all that I believe it's 95% better. Air freshners of course just mask the smell.
