    Ozone cleaning - anyone ever get it done?

    The previous owner of the M6 was a smoker and any time the car is left sitting for a number of days I driven, particularly when left sitting in the sun there is still a faint smell of stale tobacco in the car. I hear that Ozone cleaning is the way forward but I also stumbled on a few posts that mention the treatment might stain the leather or carpets.

    Anybody got first hand experience of the process? Any issues? Was it worth it?

    I'm looking at these guys specifically anybody use them?

    No first hand experience with Ozone - but have heard good things.
    Another option would be Bilt Hamber Citrus Air Bomb

    Couldnt say if either would be more effective than the other though!

    Thanks Dave. That air bomb seems to be very similar to the Comma Air con cleaner aerosol that you set off in the car.
    I used that when I got the car and to be fair it was effective for a good while but I was thinking about the Ozone cleaning as a more deep cleaning alternative.
    I might pick up a Bilt Hamber one anyway with my next order, I need to restock on snow foam before I run out and also replenish my reserves of IronX too.

    The Bilt Hamber Air Bomb Gar?
    Not had a need to use it personally, but a guy who bought a Landie, previous owner had dogs, said it did a great job!

    The Bilt Hamber one gives off a Citrus smell - if its as good as the rest of the Bilt Hamber range, Id assume its superb - they dont seem to let any products to market that isnt up to scratch. Group of lab-rats that spend their time creating world class products, and not enough time marketing them!
