Our dog Tank would get sprayed once or twice every year.
Best de-skunk solution I have found is-
1 qt. 3% (fresh, unopened) hydrogen peroxide.
1/4 cup baking soda
1-2 tsp dish soap

Mix ingredients in a bowl right before you apply it. Application methods vary but I have found that pouring the mixture into an old squeezable water bottle works best or one of those plastic picnic catchup/mustard bottles. Leave the top open, the reaction between the peroxide and baking soda will cause pressure build up in a closed container and may burst. Use a washrag to apply around muzzle and face, taking caution to avoid eyes. Wear latex gloves if you have them and work the solution into the affected areas. Let set 5-7 minutes.
Do not wet your dog with water until after the solution has set for the 5-7 minutes. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

Yup this, tomato juice is just a old wives tale and does not work.

This will not get rid of the smell completely, nothing will but it will help.
The smell will stick around for around a year although you prob wont smell it after a couple months it will just be when he gets wet you will smell it again.

I would be worried about putting that Isopropyl Alcohol on him and would recommend washing it off.
