Re: Old car smell

Ozone treatment.

I trust this is something in the category "do not try this at home".....

Find an old street lamp (quick silver vapor type) - the whole thing, not just the big bulb.

Fix duct tape around the bulb, break the outermost layer of glass carefully in a vice. Remove the broken glass and duct tape carefully.

Screw the bulb in the lamp and place the whole inside the vehicle (outdoors) on some fire proof material and close doors. I reclined the rear seat back and put the whole thing on it.

DO NOT LOOK AT THE LIGHT DIRECTLY

Let the lamp burn overnight and voila..........

The high energy radiation of the lamp produces a ton of ozone and all smells are gone.
