What is Ozone Treatment (Odour Removal)?

It is often offered by valeters. The source of the smell must be removed first. The car must be ventilated afterwards. Replacing the cabin air filter and cleaning the evaporator also help with musty smells from the vents.

How it works

Ozone reacts with and oxidises odour-causing compounds.

Why it matters for your car

Ozone is harmful to breathe; no one should be in the car. Repeated high doses can age rubber and plastics.
