How to Remove the Odor of a New Chevrolet Cavalier?

Methods to remove the odor of a new Chevrolet Cavalier include: activated carbon adsorption, air purifiers, and ventilation. The causes of the new car odor are as follows: 1. A significant part of the odor comes from the car's interior: it could be caused by the interior materials themselves or the adhesives used during the production and assembly process. Therefore, after purchasing the car, it is necessary to immediately remove all plastic protective films inside the car. Avoid rushing to add excessive "decorations" to the new car, such as floor mats, seat covers, or foot mats, as these decorations can also produce odors to some extent. 2. Another source of odor may come from the leather seats: the extensive use of leather wrapping inside the car naturally results in a strong smell, but these odors are harmless and there is no need to worry.
I also had a headache with the new car smell of the Cavalier. The most effective method is physical adsorption. I bought two kilograms of bamboo charcoal bags and stuffed them under the seats and into the gaps in the trunk corners, replacing them weekly and sun-drying them. The smell dissipated very quickly. During the day, I left a small gap in the window for ventilation to help disperse the odor. I also used a photocatalyst spray on the dashboard and door panels, making sure to choose a reputable brand that clearly states its formaldehyde-decomposing ingredients. The high temperature after sun exposure actually accelerates the volatilization of harmful substances in the car. Taking advantage of this time by opening the car doors to air out the interior is more effective than simply opening the windows. After persisting for about a month, that pungent mix of plastic and leather smells was basically gone, and the car's interior environment became much safer.
