    VERY stubborn smoke smell. Please help!

    You will get it. Ozone has been working since Genesis and the first lightning storm. Lightning is the first, natural ozone generator. That's why when you go outside after a thunderstorm the air smells so fresh and clean. Remember to run your ventilation system every so often like the...

    VERY stubborn smoke smell. Please help!

    You had a box type unit that you placed INSIDE the car. If you would have cracked a window a few of inches that smoke smell would have been attacked by the ozone that generator made and destroyed. You had a good ozone generator but tried to get rid of smoke smell with an ozone generator...

    I like your way when using an ozone generator. The ones that are placed in the car are not my favorite for use in a vehicle.

    VERY stubborn smoke smell. Please help!

    I forgot to ask what type of generator do you have? If it the one that is placed TOTALLY INSIDE the car, with the cord going through the window, then you must leave the window cracked so it can get a fresh supply of oxygen(O2) and convert it into ozone(O3). If yours uses ductwork, as shown in...

    Ozone is a sanitizer. It will react with numerous items but its main intended victim is carbon. Guess what the biggest natural ozone generator is? Once you understand how it works, understanding an ozone generator is easy.

    ozone machines needs a fresh supply of oxygen to continue making ozone. The ozone machine with the duct work has all the oxygen it needs to make ozone because it is OUTSIDE of the car. If your ozone generator is INSIDE the car leave one window cracked so it can continue getting oxygen and...

    VERY stubborn smoke smell. Please help!

    Also, the interior should have been dry. With the carpet still wet from shampooing, ozone couldn't get to the source of the smoke smell. Remember an ozone generator takes oxygen from fresh air and makes ozone, an army of oxygen atoms that will easily float to and combine with it the molecules...

    VERY stubborn smoke smell. Please help!

    Ozone will easily remove it, but you have to leave the windows cracked. An ozone generator needs fresh air to work properly in a car. Stop the fresh air it won't work properly. Run it too long and it can do damage to the interior. It should not have taken more than 15 minutes to totally...

    Polishing new paint

    My car had a panel repainted and the dealership said not to wax it for at least 90 days, to let the paint cure. So I will follow their directions and not touch the paint until mid-October.

    UH-OOOH...Did I Do That?

    Looks like a low degree nozzle or too much pressure or a combination of both. 1000 psi and a 40 degree or higher nozzle is all you need to clean paint. Anything more powerful than that can easily cause this type of damage. Derrick
