Vehicles are small, closed spaces, so residue can build up on seats, carpets and vents. Crews use the same careful methods as in a building, and soft materials may need to be removed. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated.
A small room or vehicle can take a day or less, while a house or a space with a lot of soft material takes longer. Containment, cleaning and disposal each take time. A team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.

It can be a fine powder, a faint film or nothing visible at all. Because it is hard to recognize, treat any unknown powder as hazardous. Do not touch or smell it. Leave the area and call 911 or Poison Control.
