Thank you for this outstanding video regarding use of ozone O3 (not CO3). The best video on the subject I've seen so far on KZread. You have hit all the essential, practical application points, many of which I would have missed. When you say "think like a gas", that's exactly on point! A few thoughts I have... Air is roughly 20% oxygen and if you convert most of that to ozone, you're good; way more than good. A generator can be effective put a vehicle. The idea about ozone being heavier than air is technically true but of absolutely no practical value due to all kinds of other phenomena like convective air currents and even brownian motion not to mention your ventilation fans blowing. It's not going to instantly fall to the bottom and fill up the vehicle as if you were pumping water in there. Forget that idea and think like a gas. Cigarette smoke is WAY heavier than air. Does it fall to the floor? You can just put the generator inside the vehicle and the ozone will disperse perfectly and uniformly and diffuse into whatever it can diffuse into (which is why it's important to clean surfaces first as you say). Ozone has an odor threshold of about 0.1 ppm and is toxic at that level already according to NIOSH. I would not want to spend significant time in any enclosed space where I can smell ozone. So it would be best to allow sufficient time to let it diffuse out of all fabrics etc.

I successfully used an Ozone generator to remove smoke oder from my car. Since ozone is a heavier element than air, I suspended the generator from the roof handles using stiff wire. I put an oscillating fan (oscillation turned of) in the back seat to circulate the ozone. Also, don’t forget to run the car’s ventilation system in RECYCLE mode to cleanse the vent system. Change the cabin filter too. For the smoke smell in the trunk I raised generator up off the trunk floor. Good luck!

Did You get a different machine to work on the outside or did you rig something up on a normal one with a hose of some sort

OK, I'm an engineer, lets break this down. Regardless of the fact you misspoke of the ozone and carbon trioxide synthesis. PLEASE PLEASE, READ THE DIRECTIONS No.1 You DO NOT need to place this unit outside of the vehicle, the oxygen inside the vehicle is what we are attacking, so by placing unit inside recirculates the o2 to 03 and you should NEVER run this unit more than 30 minutes. If so, 03 will deteriorate plastic, vinyl and leather material leaving that sticking feeling. After 30 minutes your interior will be saturated with 03 which destroys ozone matter, a scent reminiscent of chlorine. No.2 Immediately air out the interior or room which this is used for a minimum of 30mins. SAFETY FIRST

Antonio Ric Thanks for your clarification. I thought long about the logic of placing the ozone generator outside the vehicle and kept concluding the method in this video lacked logical support. O2 is inside the vehicle already and as the O3 produced is broken down new O2 is created as loose O1 molecules join and bond. After all one would not setup this configuration to sterilize a bedroom. Makes zero sense to place ozone box in hallway then run piping to bedroom or bathroom with a hole 🕳 cut in bedroom/bathroom door? Shrug 🤷🏽‍♂️ I think the author of this video has good intentions but clearly he overthought the technique and technical application and process. Just stick the ozone generator inside vehicle and close the door and roll up windows and 30 minutes is sufficient. Perhaps longer if trying to remove a saturated odor such as spilled Collard Greens 🥬 juice in the trunk. lol 😂 stinks 😷 to high heaven lingers after 1-year but magically gone after 60 minutes of ozone sterilization. 👍

This is an excellent video, completely practical and direct. Exactly what i was looking for, even although I never knew I needed to know all this to get odors out of my car. thanks!

Scott, you are the man! I have an ozone generator coming to me and you just showed me exactly how to use it! Love you brother!

And this is why I love your channel. Thanks for the video Scott.

Hey Scott, Man I love your videos. you are a breath of fresh , honest air, rather than the hot air hype i see too much of in these detailers youtube channels. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to educate us and offer your knowledge and expertise to the community. I would like to make a request for a future video if I may, and if this isnt the place for that forgive me in advance. I would like to see you do a review on color correction spotlights, such as the scangrip or even better, Astro Pneumatic 50SL Color Match Light . The astro is about 1/2 the price.

Very good to hear your clear warnings about the potential dangers that exist for human beings. Breathing in an environment that is saturated with C03 has the potential to be really bad. But is really does a nice job getting rid of odors. Nice presentation!

Thank you for the info. I have used odor eliminators that never seem to work. I have come across a few cars that could benefit from this treatment. Thanks again.👍

Great video. I would add, if you are doing this in your car, you may want to change out the cabin filter. Thanks for the excellent info.

Liked and subscribed! You definitely know how to break it down. Thank you for taking the time!

Extremely helpful, first try in the used car that was purchased and had a stench of cigarettes, after one treatment the smell is gone for now. Will need to wait and see if it does actually last and smell of cigarettes does not return. Followed those advice for my setup except used a plastic garbage bag for the window using painters tape to seal the openning and then passed a pool backwash hose through it. Note you will need to cover the opening of ozone generator at the front so you can connect the other side of the hose, I used a simple carton box with tape to hold it in place. As well I would not used any less than 1.5 inch size opening for hose otherwise I don't think you would get sufficient flow, anyhow pool backwash hose are easy to find and cheap.

Scott is correct, heat does speed up the movement of the atoms so they become more active and more effective. They do not, however create ozone. A pre-treatment with the heater running is a much better option for recycling air throughout the system, with the added benefit the interior of the auto will be hot for the main treatment. Cheers!

I enjoyed your video, Scott! You have great advice about detailing cars. We are one of those ozone companies, and I just wanted to mention, I feel like you added a lot of good information from a car detailer's perspective. Great advice, too, about the dangers of ozone. A lot of people don't understand how ozone can attach to good smells and turn to bad odors. Even in houses, it can attach to fresh paint and you end up with more of a problem than what you started out with. I try to inform each customer I receive, but I think KZread is a great way, and you've done a great job in your short video.

Thank you, this is exactly the information I was searching for! Would anyone know, could I ozonate my vehicle with my little home ozone generator? It has a little tube, not a big pipe, but I was thinking of running it through the window like this demo. I don't have smoke odors in my car, just dog odors.

Would it be beneficial to run a small fan inside the interior while the machine runs to make sure there is solid airflow?

What should be the Technical Specifications for an ideal ozone generator?

Thanks for the advice.

Thank you. This is amazing information.

thank you for the video,

Great video. Very informative. One question. Can I just leave the hose attached after turning off while I let the vehicle bake? Thanks in advance.

Very informative video! So after you finish treatment (say 30 minutes) you mentioned closing the window and shutting off the car to contain the ozone. Assume you still need to open the car door to close the window and shut the car off correct?

Very good info. Scott, please give a Amazon link to this ozone generator you use. I can't find one that has a hose.

Scott i have a question about paint prep. When you use duplicolor grease and wax remover on the paint do you use it straight or do you dilute it?

Super informative thanks

thank you! wow, you really helped me, my wife smokes, I dont, got one ordered, but had planned on just sticking it inside and letting it run for a couple of hours. now I know it has to go in high, it has to have a source of fresh air, so I will figure out how to hook a hose up to it, and then prep it. wow, thank you so much!

Hi Scott do you know the best pressure washer on a budget?

I've been getting mixed instructions. Some users say leave the generator outside and have a hose run from the generator to the vehicle so that fresh air can be fed to the generator and o3 can be pumped into the vehicle. Other users leave the generator inside the vehicle with everything sealed and the air condition running. I have not seen any factual findings of either argument, but would like to know which is the most effective method. Any feedback?

Scott what a wealth if knowledge. Where or how can I get those pieces on window to hook hose?

Putting the car in sunlight will accelerate breakdown of the ozone, where 2 O3 molecules become 3 O2 molecules -- no involvement of the odor molecules is needed. It IS a good thing to park it in the sunlight with windows down at the end of the treatment, to reduce the toxicity more rapidly. Also note that ozone attacks the car surface materials and foam rubber. I could feel more tackiness to that rubber coating that VW puts (on 2001 era) on door handles after a 45 minute treatment. So ozone is not something that you want to use for very long, or for many times.

Correct. The sun will destroy the Ozone. It would be better to put the car away from the sun for an hour so it can continue to work and then put it in the sun to destroy what is left so you don't get sick. Also, Ozone is O3 not CO3. I don't know if the ozone generators really create CO3 rather than true O3...it is possible. source: I'm a chemist.

The final step about getting the car in the sun is interesting. People who retrobrite plastics have learned that adding UV lights to the oxidation process greatly speeds it up and one of the processes is to bleach plastic with O3 and UV.

Sean The Detail Guy not necessarily. You want to make sure the ozone generator has gotten all odors first because you may need to do another treatment and you don't want all those cleaners getting in the way. Always best to do deep cleaning first and wait a few days to confirm you got the odor, if you haven't attack it with ozone until odor is fully removed...depending how BAD the odor is a few treatments may be needed. Unfortunately there is no magic bullet but keep your process consistent just in case you need to use ozone generator again. Hopefully that helps:)

There are now a ton of them on Amazon and they all work great. Ozone generators are now very inexpensive for decent ones around $70 and you don't need to hire a professional to do this. Also the part about needing to run a hose for fresh air is wrong. Air is 21% oxygen, there is more than enough oxygen in an enclosed car to generate more than enough O3. But he is correct that O3 is heavier than air, so having the generator high up in the car, or a fan inside to circulate it does help.

Hi Scott! Well done and on point, as usual. I sure miss...we all miss, your regular postings. That said, I hope you are doing well and doing what is best for you. Cheers!

Would it make sense to run the ozone generator before you clean the car? That way you don't have to worry about the car still being wet from the shampoo process and such.

Good job!!!

Very Informative video. Wrong for you to state “CO3” as its O3. However, I wish you would have spent more video time showing your technical setup and configuration showing how you physically connected the ozone generator output to the tubing then ran the tubing to the foam and how you attached the foam to the window. I respect that you want to safeguard your trade secrets but you’re in Texas and I’m 2000 miles away in Covid infested New Jersey ( 😂) so I can’t give you my detail business need and will have to implement this ozone process on my own. But, again very informative and different from the video I watched from another pro detailer who simply just placed his unit inside the vehicle on the armrest. Your explanation on why not to do that in addition to the seatbelts, visor, glovebox, headrests, armrest open, etc makes perfect logical sense. 👍 so glad I found your video before using an ozone generator in an improper and insufficient manner to deodorize my vehicle and home.

Well thank you sir you just explained several things I did wrong while trying to remove the odors from a truck I just bought. I got a unit that sits inside of the truck. I watched a video on the exact unit being used by someone and they said to run it for 30 minutes and then open the doors. The unit sits inside the truck. A bit of background this vehicle smells of crotch, fast foo, wet dog and unwashed butt. It is terrible. I had it detailed, I used 2 cans of Ozium, an entire bottle of febreeze and in a last ditch effort and not even caring aabout discoloring the interior I used a n entire can of lysol. It did nothing. The things I did wrong was having the unit in the vehicle, it is summer so our humidity in the south is almost always over 70 percent. This morning it was closer to 90. I ran the 30 minute session and then snatched the doors open and tossed in a box fan. The smell came right back before the ozone smell was even gone.

My wife forgot about some fish in the back of her van. It was in there 3 or 4 days when she took some shopping bags out of there and turned over the bag that contained the fish. What a f..king stink!!! It spilled in the lower tub where the rear seats would fold into. I removed the rear seats, removed and washed the rear carpet and washed out the rear tub section. Let the carpet dry for several days which we're hot and sunny, then reinstalled the whole issue and placed a friends ozone generator inside with a circulation fan as instructed. I think it all worked great but my wife still says she smells fish. There's just one issue, I can't seem to get an air freshener to work in the van now. I even hit it with some fabreeze and the next day, nothing. It's like the process in continuing even though the van was well ventilated.
