I ran over a dead skunk last night and the car still reeks. I have a good power washer that I use for washing the Taycan. Works great. Q: Is it OK to use it on medium pressure on the underside of the car?

No issue with this…although not easy to effectively execute without a dedicated under carriage washer.

One option is to use a clean pump sprayer (home depot for $13) to coat a mix of Dawn dish soap and white distilled vinegar on the underside. Then powerwash or go through a touchless car wash with an undercarriage rinse a few times. It will take 7-10 days for the smell to go away, but it will.

It's time to get an unlimited car wash subscription at your local touchless carwash and go visit every day until the smell goes away.

Chemist Paul Krebaum discovered a solution that changes the odorous thiols into odorless acids, thereby chemically neutralizing the skunk odor. The formula is: 1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (fresh bottle), • ¼ cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and • 1-2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap

Thanks for this formula ... on a car how would you expect it to be used? Through a sprayer? wipe down interior?
