Ozone Treatment

Real Odor Elimination — Not Just a Cover-Up

If your car still smells no matter how much you clean it — smoke, pet odors, mildew, old food — you’re not imagining it. Air fresheners wear off. Sprays just mask it. But ozone treatment actually breaks down the odors, even the ones buried deep in your fabric, vents, or under the seats.

At RoamShine, we offer professional, on-site ozone treatments across San Diego. Whether it’s a rideshare vehicle, a hand-me-down car, or a daily driver with lingering smells — we can help reset the air inside.

What Is Ozone and Why It Works

Ozone (O₃) is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms. It’s not some trendy detail product — it’s been used in hospitals and disaster cleanup for years. When applied properly, it neutralizes odors at the molecular level, which means no perfume, no masking — just clean air.

We place a high-output ozone generator inside your car, seal it up, and let the ozone circulate everywhere: inside the vents, behind panels, under the seats — places you could never reach by hand.

The Right Time for Ozone

We recommend ozone treatment when your car has:

1. Smoke smells (cigarettes, cannabis, fire residue)
2. Pet odors or accidents
3. Musty or mildew smells from water leaks or long storage
4. Stubborn food spills or mystery smells
5. Rideshare or fleet vehicle buildup

If your car smells fine for a day after a detail, then the odor creeps back — this is the step you’re missing.

Here’s How We Do It

We don’t just drop a machine in and hope for the best. Our process is dialed in to be safe, effective, and long-lasting:

1. Quick interior check – If there's a visible source of the odor (like pet stains or mildew), we’ll recommend removing or cleaning it first.
2. Seal the car – We run ozone in a closed cabin, completely unoccupied.
3. Run cycle – Most cars take 30–60 minutes. Bigger or smellier jobs take longer.
4. Air it out – We open up all doors, run fans, and make sure it’s safe and fresh before handing it back.

You don’t need to do anything — just unlock the car, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Safe for You, Powerful on Odors

1. No residue, no harsh chemicals
2. Safe for kids, pets, and allergy-sensitive drivers after airing out
3. Works through vents, under seats, and even trunk space
4. Kills bacteria and mold spores in the air and on soft surfaces

We also offer cab air filter replacement if you want to go all the way with a full reset.

FAQs

Will it remove smoke smell?

Yes. We’ve eliminated heavy cigarette and cannabis odors that other detailers gave up on. For best results, we recommend pairing with a headliner wipe and vent cleaning.

Is ozone safe?

Yes — when used correctly. We only run it in sealed, unoccupied vehicles, and we fully air it out before we’re done.

Can you do this at my home or work?

Absolutely. We’re mobile and fully equipped. You don’t need to provide anything.

Does it really last?

If the source of the odor is gone (no leaks, spills, or new contamination), ozone permanently removes the smell. It doesn’t just mask it.

Pricing

We’ll inspect the car before starting and give you clear advice — no pressure, no guesswork.

TL;DR — Clear the Air for Good

If your car still smells bad even after a deep clean, ozone is what gets the job done. It’s the final step in true odor removal, and once it’s done, the difference is real — no scent, no cover-up, just clean air.
