Last year while driving to my duck blind I ran over a skunk that got caught up in the under-carraige of my truck so that I had to knock it down with a stick... my truck smelled for months. Any suggestions on what I could have done to get rid of the skunk-smell better?

VanDyke's (the taxidermy branch of Cabela's) carries a product that will supposedly remove skunk smell. I have also been told all of my life that tomato juice works. Now the issue of getting it up under the truck...I don't know. Maybe a pressure washer that has a tank for soap and such? Hope I never have the same problem!!!

Here is the secret recipe that works!
--> 1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
--> 1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
--> 1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent
--> Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.
--> Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is "UNSTABLE"!
--> Rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary.
--> For spray in the eyes, flush with water as soon as possible.
--> If you can't go to all of the trouble of buying hydrogen peroxide at your local drug store, then a 2% vinegar solution will help a bit.
--> But please, don't bother with the old tomato juice tactic unless you want to smell like skunk & tomato.
These tactics do not work ...
--> Bath in tomato juice
--> Spray with lemon or orange citrus
--> Masking agents like perfume or Fabreze

Reply to Ups truck stopped by.by MilldawgI don’t have the squaring tool. I figure the cnc machine that the upper was turned out on can do a better job than I can by hand or with a 99 dollar...
