I've been getting alot of calls for odor removal here lately. So I think I'm going to get an Ozone Generator, but which one?

In my research I see they are not cheap, and they all claim to be the best! Does anyone have any suggestions on a good quality machine?

Also, How long does the Ozone Generator need to operate in the car to removal all the odors?

Thanks,
Greg
 
Search eBay for small brand new units. I bought one for less than $100 and it works perfectly every time!!
 
Odor Free has good machines and good warranty. The one that would work for cars is $279 and would probably take 15-20 minutes.
 
I was thinking of getting an ozone machine, but decided instead to just turn down any job where the customer only wants an odor removed. They always turn out to be waaaaaay more trouble then they're worth

In the rare case that I might need one, I can rent a machine for $40 and I don't have to worry about keeping up with another piece of equiptment

Thats a pretty good deal (if it works) the ones I was pricing were upwards of $1,000
 
The multi quote feature would've been a good option for me here :p

That's exactly what I do. I also only allow "odor removal" as an add-on service with a full interior detail. I figure it's the only way I can guarantee the smell will be lessened or 100% eliminated.

Yea, if a potential customer calls and the first thing they start talking about is a funky odor or stained carpet, that is my que to ask for their number, so I can never return their call ;)

Every thing in the interior needs to be cleaned and all the carpeting needs to be steamed including the head liner. Then you can go about using something for the smell.

I dunno about that.

Who ever owned my car before I bought it was a heavy smoker. The car reaked so bad. But I liked the car, so I agreed to buy it if the dealer would get someone to remove the odor.

The next day they had a local detailer come down and they did it in 15-20 minutes using the machine only. He called it a "fogger", I have no idea if its the same as an ozone generator. Anyways, after the chemical smell went away(few days later), the smoke smell was 100% removed. Two years later, I took out my center console to change out my shifter, and I found a ton of cigarette ash. It had no odor.

Wow I figured with nicotine still on all the plastic and vinyl it would still smell.
 
They may have wiped down the interior. I dont remember to be honest. But I know for a fact they didn't use an extractor on anything because nothing was wet when I got inside.

I bet the car was detailed before you ever saw the car.
