Okay, where do I purchase ozone spray AND how do you recommend I apply it? Use the cabin air filter cavity again or just spray it liberally in the whole car?

A quick Amazon search has me quick confused. Please direct me to the product you recommend.

Spray it in the intake plenum near the base of the windshield while AC is on max

Thank you for the link! I swore I searched up and down and couldn't find anything.

It's been two days and so far, so good! I think I'm going to purchase the ozone spray anyway. Once it arrives, I will give the car another application, but I'm hopeful that this has been resolved.

I just applied a liberal dose of
Ozium spray Ozium spray
to the HVAC system. Sprayed for probably thirty seconds or more. This was done from the cabin filter cavity, like before. Where is the fresh air intake? I could not locate anything under the hood are along the cowl.

The smell still persists, although it is much better. I still cannot locate the fresh air intake even though I searched for it. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Try spraying a little in each of the vents of the car as well. I can't think of why it would hurt anything.
