Car Detailers Use Ozone on Car Odors

For a moment, you admire that used, but polished car.  It could be the one you drive home today, so you open the door to look inside.  Your whole attitude changes as the smell of smoke, baby accidents, and years of mobile meals assault your nose.  Well, maybe you won’t buy a car today after all.

Or, you hope to sell your used car to someone at a good price so you can pick up the next car of your dreams.  But, the odd smells inside encourage buyers to cut the price because the car’s value is diminished by the smells that spray deodorizers can’t mask very well.

Whether detailing a car for the current owner, the next owner, or a car lot; the ability to remove odors is a value-added you can offer to your customers.  One of the tools you need is a reliable and powerful ozone generator that will not only destroy odors, but sanitize it from all the past abuses that still linger within.

An ozone generator saves money because you are not buying chemicals that don’t work, may affect the material, and leaves chemical residue behind.  Ozone is an environmentally-friendly concept that is made anytime you turn the switch on, but there is no chemical residue to worry about.  Ozone is simply another form of oxygen.

When cleaning the interior, water is a real liability.  If you wet down the upholstery and carpet too much with soapy liquids, they won’t dry well.  Shut the door on a damp car for a few days, and you will return to a stinging mildew smell.  So, you actually made the problem worse.

Try baking soda, and return the next day to caked powder that is impossible to get out.  Or, buy into the Febreze myth, and watch the odors return after a few days.  That will impress your customers.

Some car lots us a “Bomb” or a can that expels all the content once activated.  This is usually a chlorine dioxide concoction, which does some good, but the long term value isn’t good. 

When you ozone a vehicle with our 30G auto ozone generator, you are fighting the battle on the molecular level.  The oxygen atoms actually attach to odors and pollution and oxidize them.  The very chemical makeup of the problem is altered, and the smell is gone. 

Even the hard-to-erase cigarette or cigar smoke can be taken out by ozone.  To be sure, nothing is 100% for those with ultra-sensitive noses.  But, a 95% cure is far better than a 100% problem.  Ozone is very good at removing smoke odors.  And, it takes only an hour to treat a smoky car.  If the problem persists, give it a second treatment.  It won’t cost you anything to make sure the customer is satisfied with the result.

Mold and mildew happens when water gets in the vehicle.  Then, the inside of the car becomes a kind of terrarium where mold grows in the perfect environment.  Well, ozone kills mold and destroys mold spores.  Use ozone to stabilize and neutralize the mold, then follow with an antimicrobial, like BioZone Protectant.

All Ozone generators is very pleased to suggest the 30G (30,000 mg.hr) auto ozone generator.  This unit comes with a 7’ hose so particular bad spots can get direct ozone treatments.  The price is extremely attractive for one of the best car ozone generators on the market.
