Can the smoke smell be removed from the interior?
I found a really nice TT except it has a very slight hint of cigarette smoke. I was thinking a steam clean. Will that work, has anyone been able to remove the smoke smell.

Check also whether you have an air purifier. If you have, throw away the cartridge and consider replacing it ($155). If your A/C filters are do not come up smelling of Chanel No 5 after cleaning, then replacement cost is $98 a pair. A steam clean of the carpets might then help but you should be OK after doing the filters. My car was truly awful when I got it but filter replacement fixed it and others have the same experience.

Damian,
I would suggest a spray on odour neutraliser type product, such as commercial cleaners use, or you may even find a simmilar product on the supermarket shelf.
But don't use an odour masking type spray, as it will only last short term.
The stinky tobacco smell is usually always in the hood lining & sun visors.
