will cabin air filter remove Skunk and Pot smells?

TBH, the carbon ones make a slight difference for smell. I’ve been using the Fram “N95-grade” or Spearhead “HEPA” filters off Amazon instead of the carbon ones.

Has anyone used a cabin air filter (CAF) that keeps out the smell of skunks and skunk weed? We have both skunks in the area and when I drive inside the Beltway some of the neighborhoods have the obvious smell of people smoking pot outside. It's getting pretty common. Not judging, just don't want to get high off secondary smoke. It also stinks and burns my nose. Skunk Weed or Stink Weed, I don't like it.

I have a charcoal one in the truck now. It worked very well. It was either Hengst or Mann. It is effective on weed, don’t have experience on the skunks.

Today's skunk weed is just incredibly pungent. Frequently, I detect a skunk weed car on the Interstate before I can even see it. IMHO avoid smoking anything anywhere near a car if you plan on selling it some day. I have turned down several used cars due to their odor.

One of the pleasures of driving a convertible top down in the country is the ever changing smells as you go down the road. Peoples outdoor barbecues, forest smells, then, on the downside, chicken farms, sewage plants, and farmers fields where manure was recently spread.

One year I had a business trip to Madison Wisconsin in the Spring. My work ended on a Friday, and I decided to do a little sight seeing from the rented car and fly home on Sunday. Well, it was unusually warm, and it was the time of year when the farmers fertilized their fields with manure. The manure smell was overpowering everywhere. I wound up having to drive to Milwaukee to escape the smells. While in Milwaukee, I did take in an end of Spring Training exhibition baseball game.
