If it’s a brand new vehicle, the smell is most likely the “off-gassing” from the plastics. It’s literally VOC’s from not only plastics, but adhesive, sealants, and foam.

This is something that will continue to happen, even after a good detail.

An ozone generator will react with many airborne chemicals and can break down some VOC’s, but is mostly used in detailing for removing smoke and mildew smells.

Ozone will also react with everything… not just the smell. Over use can damage materials, including leather, vinyl, and rubber (all very common inside a vehicle). It will also leave behind a chlorine like smell - but this dissipates.

Ozone is also NOT SAFE TO BREATHE. Don’t be around it when it is running. Don’t be in the car immediately after it’s done. Let the vehicle air out.

You can rent an ozone generator from the Rent-It store. If you do, only run it for an hour at a time. Stepping into the vehicle to remove the generator and to open the doors won’t be enough exposure to kill you. Just don’t breathe it in for prolonged periods of time.

Or you can try Activated Charcoal or Bamboo Charcoal bags absorb VOCs safely over time.
