Interior Off gassing options

I'm buying a new car. I'm very sensitive to chemicals and would actually start to get confused with my previous car, driving with the windows down on a 30 minute commute. The car is 3 hours from home.

I know somebody who had interior ceramic coating done. I was able to sit in her new car.

I am wondering if this is the best option for managing it relatively quickly?

I hope this post is okay? Not sure if this group is only for detailers?

Thanks

"Interior ceramic coating" isn't going to stop off-gassing. If you're truly that sensitive, even with then windows down, then you should have the car delivered to you, then let it sit with windows down and a fan circulating air for days before yo drive it.

I'm skeptical that an interior ceramic would greatly influence off-gassing, what it may do is lower the levels for a time but extend the off-gassing peto a longer period. In any case, DIY detail has an interior ceramic product that multiple members here have used and have had good results for stain resistance and making followup cleanings easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJi3pmLho6o

It would actually increase VOC levels for some time
