When it comes to truly refreshing your vehicle’s interior, nothing compares to a professional ozone treatment. At San Diego Select, our ozone service eliminates the deep-set odors, allergens, and bacteria that traditional cleaning methods can't reach.
Whether your car smells like smoke, mildew, food, or pet odors — or you’re simply looking to sanitize your cabin — our ozone treatment is a powerful, chemical-free solution that leaves your vehicle smelling clean and feeling fresh.
We're a fully mobile service, bringing water, power, and professional-grade ozone generators directly to your location. Whether you're parked at home in Pacific Beach, working downtown, or relaxing in Carmel Valley, San Diego Select is your go-to team for clean, healthy air inside your vehicle.
While many auto detailers stop at surface-level interior cleaning, San Diego Select’s ozone treatment goes deeper. This service is ideal for drivers who have tried shampooing or vacuuming to remove odors but still detect something unpleasant lingering in their vehicle.
Ozone (O₃) is a naturally occurring molecule with powerful oxidizing properties. When properly applied, it eliminates odor-causing particles, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and allergens from every nook and cranny — even the places vacuums and cloths can’t reach. The result is a fully deodorized and sanitized vehicle cabin.
Before introducing ozone into your cabin, we thoroughly vacuum and wipe down your vehicle's interior. Removing surface-level dirt and organic material helps ensure the ozone can do its job effectively.
Our high-output ozone machines are placed in your car’s cabin for a treatment cycle that typically lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the odor type and severity. Ozone circulates through the HVAC system, upholstery, carpets, and headliner — oxidizing odor particles at the molecular level.
We run your vehicle’s air conditioning system during the treatment, allowing ozone to penetrate the ducts and remove mold, bacteria, and trapped odors inside the ventilation system. This step is crucial for lingering smells and allergens.
Once the treatment is complete, we ventilate your car thoroughly to ensure the ozone dissipates safely. Ozone naturally reverts to oxygen after a short time, leaving behind no chemical residue. We inspect the cabin and confirm the air is safe and clean before handing back your keys.
Many drivers come to us after trying every air freshener and upholstery cleaner they could find — but the smells return. That’s because odors often hide in the HVAC system, padding, and deep layers of fabric. Our ozone treatment targets:
If you’ve purchased a used car or are preparing a vehicle for resale, ozone treatment is a must-have to reset the cabin to a neutral, odor-free state.
Unlike some commercial deodorizers that mask odors with heavy perfumes, ozone eliminates odors at the source — without adding chemicals or artificial scents. The process is safe for your family and pets after the airing-out period and is ideal for sensitive individuals looking to reduce allergens or improve air quality in their daily driver.
Our team takes ozone safety seriously, following strict protocols to protect your vehicle, your health, and the environment. We use only top-rated ozone generators calibrated for automotive treatment, and never cut corners when it comes to post-treatment ventilation.
Our ozone treatment is available as a standalone service or as an add-on to our Full Interior or Full Detail packages. Pairing it with a deep interior clean and seat shampoo delivers the ultimate in vehicle sanitization and odor removal.

Perfection & Protection.
Frustrated with everything that the car wash leaves behind?
Does your paint not shine like it used to?
In love with your car and want to preserve your investment for the long term?
That is why we are here. Not only do we leave you with flawless results, but we make sure that your paint, leather, and other materials are protected for years to come. We will treat your car (and you) like one of our own.
The shampoo and hot water extraction is the best possible care for your FABRIC seats.
We will bathe your seats in thick foam shampoo, agitate it with a fabric brush attachment on a drill, and then extract all the grime, dirt, stains and contaminant from the seats with hot water at 210ºF. If your seats need a refresh, this is as good as it gets. Because the service takes 45 minutes on average, and only a small percent of vehicles need it we charge extra for it. Don't worry - its only $50 extra. Totally worth it.
Do you have any little scrapes and scratches that bother you?
We can handle it.. to an extent. We are polishing experts - so if the scratch isn't too deep, we can get it out. Ever heard of "The Fingernail Test", this is a great way to know if your scratches are fixable. If you feel the scratch will your fingernail and you can feel a groove in the paint, it it probably a little bit too deep ~in the sections where the groove is~
A clay bar is exactly what it sounds like, a little ball of malleable puddy.
This is used in the decontamination phase of the detail to prepare your paint for protection. Clay Bar Detailing is essential for preparing your vehicle's paint for protection by ensuring it is free of contaminants.
Every exterior detail has 3 phases: 1. Wash 2. Decontaminate 3. Protect. The decontamination stage is responsible for removing from the paint everything that doesn't come off from the wash.
Remember when you bought your car and the paint was smooth to the touch? That is the goal of this stage. Remove all the crusty junk that is stuck to you paint. This way, when we apply sealant (protection) to your paint it will adhere to the paint itself, rather than the junk sitting on the surface. This will give the sealant its longest possible useful life.
For the same reason that you get an oil change. Engines are expensive to replace (8-15K) so we take good care of them. So is your paint - the average paint job costing around $5,000. If you don't protect your paint with some type of ceramic, wax, or sealant, your paint WILL fail.
In San Diego, our biggest enemy is the sun, or the salt if you live near the beach. Next time you are in a big parking lot, look around at the hoods of the vehicles. You will notice around 1/6 vehicles have completely delaminated clear coat.
That means the paint looks like dead skin on the surface and you could peel it off with you fingers. Not pretty. There is a simple solution to ensure your vehicle never ends up like this. Exterior Detailing. Bonus points for a ceramic coating with is the best protection possible.
