Default Got the windows tinted, now my JK smells like cigarette smoke.

This post is not to bad-mouth my tint guy. He's a "garage installer" and has done at least 9 of my previous vehicles. I KNOW he did NOT smoke in the car, but he smells like cigarettes.

I took my '12 JKUR to him today and when I picked it up it smells faintly of cigarette smoke. This JK has the only leather interior I have owned. Does that have anything to do with it? Will the smell go away? I've only had the JK for a week...ugh.

Please, no sarcasm...I can't take it.

Leather usually doesn't hold odors like cloth.
See if any auto parts places by u have lexol leather wipes and conditioner... That stuff is awesome for leather.
U could also try ferbreeze..

Got top less for awhile until you can clean the windows and air it out.
