skunked
Hi, my truck got sprayed by a skunk all down one side, I used a bit of dish soap to try and wash it of but you can still see kind of oil spots all over the side of the truck. Also it reeks inside the truck, any ideas of how to get rid of the staining and odor, THANKS

Trade it in!! 
Just kidding, you shouldn't use dish soap to wash the truck, it strips off the wax. Use a good quality car wash soap and if there are still spots on it, try a bug and tar remover, then wax the truck. For the inside, a good shampoo should help, then put a bunch of fabric softener sheets (the kind you use in the dryer) under the seats and every where you can and let it air out. Hope that helps, if not you'll probably just get used to the aroma
What did you do to PO that skunk??

Some people will want to shoot me for telling you this.
on the out side take Westleys white wall cleaner and spray the side of the truck down. then wash and wax ,if this doesn't do nothing will.
As far as the inside. Make up a bottle of 50/50 water and vinager and "Mist" the carpet and wipe it down with a towel. Don't soak the interior.
And again if that does'nt do it bury the truck.
