Deployed airbags during accidents will produce some sort of odor, like gunpowder odor or smoke odor. Will this odor stay in the car after the car has been repaired? Is there any other way to minimize this odor?

150.00 - 250.00 and up for a very detailed cleaning.
They remove seats, clean every panel and it will smell like new again.

The odor will dissipate, I used to work a company that made airbags and also in the area that tested them and was exposed to that horrible smell every 20 seconds or so. It will go away and is not harmful in any way. Use Oust or Fabreeze if you have a sensitive nose. Hope this helps,

The odor will go away. You will have to thoroughly clean the the inside of the car though. The powder is safe and is like a talc powder only to lubricate the bag to open.

It will go away. The dust that you see after an airbag deployment is nothing more than corn starch and is used to help the bag unfold when activated.
