🛡️ A Note on Odor Elimination
For our Reset Detail, we use a professional-grade Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) treatment. This is not a fragrance or air freshener. It's a gas that safely neutralizes and eliminates odors from smoke, mildew, pets, and bacteria at a molecular level. The process is performed in a sealed, unoccupied vehicle and is followed by a thorough ventilation period. This ensures the treatment is highly effective and leaves behind no harmful residue—only a fresh, clean, and neutral scent.
