What is the best smelling Ozium? I tried the original and the outdoor essence. Outdoor essence smells better. Anyone tried the brand new car smell, black carbon, citrus, and the others?

I just tried an ozone machine and although it is very good, I don't think the interior of a car should smell like ozone. But it's not bad at all...

Anyone tried these OEM car care products? There seem to have a couple on ebay, for Land Rover, Ferrari, BMW and so on. Maybe one of these products gives a scent that would fit with the interior of the HHR.

As for an interior detailer I found that Chemical Guys Innerclean is what I prefer at the moment
Amazon Amazon
It removed the unnatural gloss of the Meguiar product and restored the OEM factory appearance as stated.

Maybe that: https://originalfactoryscent.com/

It doesn't ship to Canada. I will have to find something else.

The ozone smell will go away and whatever was causing the smell should be now broken down to not emit odours anymore.

Yes, but I did not have any smell to get rid of. I am rather searching for what used car dealers would do to improve the desirability of their cars. There are also scenting companies designing signature fragrances for their customers. https://www.ambius.com/scenting/

Don't wanna breathe too much ozone. That can't support life.
