Car Dealers and Used Car Lots

Smell sells the car, or doesn't

• The test drive starts with the door. A buyer who smells smoke or a dog in the first second is already thinking about the next car on the lot.
• Trade-ins come in every day. Smokers' cars, family haulers and work trucks all bring their history with them.
• Days on the lot cost money. A car that smells fresh is ready to photograph, list and sell.

Who we work with

• Used car managers and reconditioning departments
• Independent used car lots
• Fleet and rental car managers

What the dry fog does

The patented VaPURE system fills the closed cabin with a very fine, dry fog of a hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid solution. It drifts under seats, into seat tracks, door pockets and vents, then breaks down into water, oxygen and a trace of vinegar. As it settles it temporarily reduces airborne particulates, and on hard, non-porous surfaces like the dash, console, cup holders and door panels it helps control the growth of odor-causing microorganisms. Nothing gets wet, so the car is ready for photos the same day.

For heavy cigarette smoke, the Odor Treatment adds an ozone step after the fog, with nobody inside for up to 48 hours, and the car is aired out before anyone drives it.

Built for volume

• On your lot. We treat cars where they sit, so nobody has to shuttle inventory.
• Batches. Line up several cars and we treat them in one visit.
• Repeat schedule. A regular visit keeps new trade-ins moving through recon.

Dry fog is the step after detailing, not a replacement for it. Shampooing, trash removal and fixing a leak or a wet carpet pad come first, or the smell comes back.

Questions we hear

How long does each car take?

It depends on the vehicle and the smell. Your Comfort Advisor gives you a timeline for a typical batch on the phone consultation.

Do you detail the car too?

No. We do the odor step after your detail team or detail shop is done.

Do you post prices?

No. You get a written quote based on your volume after a free phone consultation.
