Are you guys interested in Odor Removal?

I am looking into providing the odor removal service along with my PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) service. Is that something you guys would be interested? If yes, how much are you guys willing to pay? Retail goes for $40-$50.

How it works...
I would be using an interior odor fogger to heat up the odor counteractant to produce a "dry fog" rather than the damage-causing wet particles produced by conventional misters and foggers.

The heated fog permeates every crevice, as well as a vehicle's ventilation system. It can be used in an auto, truck, motor home, boat, aircraft, or building

The scent should last about 3-4 weeks

haha... the fogger can use any water based stuff. But I don't think I am certified to use that kind of chemicals... Sorry...

nope... it's the real thing.

basically, fog the car with circulation air for 15-30 seconds. fog the entire inside with doors/windows closed for 15-20 minutes. wipe the interior down and it's done.

When you say lasts 3-4 weeks.. you're just talking about the scent not how long odors are gone, right?

I don't care about the perfume, I want the odors killed.

This process kills the source of the odors, it doesn't just mask them right?

well, that depends how bad and what kind of odor you have. If it's REALLY bad, you might have to do it again. But this is odor counteractant/neutralizer. Scent is actually an add-on. I had it done on my car before and it worked pretty good. I was driving down to OC and back without AC. Let me tell you, your own sweat doesn't smell that good. LOL! And my car still doesn't smell after the scent is gone.

basically there are 4 types of remover.... general, urine, protein, and mildew... I had the general odor remover done and it worked just fine... plus, I don't know if I want to stock all those other ones since this is more of an add-on service that I can provide...

My pop's old jeep smells like dog/mildew - do you think you can do something about this? It seems as though its permeated through the ventilation system, so I think its likely it would take a physical removal, rather than a dry 'fog'...but it certainly wouldn't hurt to try - it smells like ****.

Does the old jeep have all the doors/windows/cover? It works best when it's in an enclosed space. The first step is to run the fog through the ventilation system by running the circulation air. Circulation air pulls air from the bottom passenger seat (more like under the glove compartment, since that's where the blower is) and blows through the AC evaporator and the top ventilation system.

it's an add-on service that I am considering... so I don't have the equipment yet. But I've been trained to use the stuff.

it definitely gets rid of the ac smell. of course, that's from the water condensation and mildew. so it'll come back after long use of AC
