Is it just me? Or does anyone else find it extra satisfying when it's an older model vehicle?
amazin !!
I love how Mitch's videos can also be the biggest anti-smoking videos
I feel for you man!!! My uncle was a heavy smoker, and when he passed away we had to clean out his house!
The smell!!! 🤢 Even his old tax receipts stunk!!!
Mitch- without going in to details, I was having a BAD day at work. I went on break, looking for something to watch that was short, that ended well. Thanks, buddy! I think I can finish out the day in 1 piece now!
You got this!
I know it was a month ago, but how'd it go?
THATS CRAZY!!! I honestly thought you had no chance. But I forgot who you was. You are DEFINITELY awesome at your craft.
You know it wasn't that you cleaned it so beautifully that had me wowed. It was the fact that for a change the owner hadn't totally trashed their vehicle like the rest of your clients seem to have. Dirt is one thing as is age. Abject total filth is quite another. Like always though, you did a fantastic job on that car.
Cleaning probably cost more than the car is worth lol
I was just about to say this lol.
@@jamesestelle7260 Me too! But you know they also decided to get it done. I've seen some really nice cars on here where people should be ashamed. Not because they needed cleaning but because they did so in a video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 for sure...
You just took the words out of my mouth.
lets be nice. at least they took it upon themselves to get it done! not everyone can afford a $70,000 car
One place to clean that is often missed in a smoker's car: the seatbelt. I had a car from a smoker and every time it rained, your wet shirt would activate the nicotine in the belt and you would get a gross brown stripe on your shirt. Bleh.
Great job on this car!
Detail geek get all the spots you could possibly think of he just doesn’t show it all otherwise the video would be hours long
@@OldManMoe undoubtedly, Mitch is very thorough about his craft. I was putting it out there to anyone who has acquired a car and wanted to clean it top to bottom. The belt is out of sight, mostly, so it can get overlooked.
Mitch , I like your approach to the cars you do. You make it look as good as reasonably possible . I have done many of those cars when I used to detail. All you can do is all you can do !
Those Grand Am's can go on forever! I really enjoyed this video as that's more like the vehicle I drive for my commute back and forth to work. Old and stained up minus the smoking. Keep up the good work 👍
Watching a man wash a car, that’s adulthood.
And like an '02 grand am at that. Adulthood.
I'm 15, and I'm enjoying this 😂
I love how you’re still rocking the Bissell spot cleaner, got mine off a tip from you a few years back and it’s still going strong 💪🏻🙏🏻
Your work here in the old garage with this Grand Am was excellent. My youngest nephew had a 1977 Grand Am his parents found through a friend. It had crank windows and an AM radio. He drove it to his High School every day for a couple of years. There was a lot of brown water being poured down the drain pit there. Very cool Mitch. Great work as always. 💜💜💜
Awesome job Mitch
Always great watching your vids, so relaxing
I’ve always loved the Grand Am grill. My aunt had 3 of em before switching to Malibus.
Incredible Job !Mitch
The carpets came out amazing. Someone needs to ask why they’ve chosen to cheap out on quality carpet of all things in cars double or triple the price! Great job.
I love the older car videos
I did a thorough interior cleaning of my mom's car (she's a smoker) and the smell of all of the chemicals and water mixing with the residual tar from the cigarette smoke is among the most horrendous smells on earth. YUCK!
My face frowned up because it's like I could just smell that awful smell.
EXCELLENT JOB MITCH!🔥❤️🌟
I find that stains usually came out of older GM carpet pretty easily. I always had issues with stains in Honda carpets.
I wish I lived close enough to have my 02 Grand Prix detailed by you! I've only had her a year, but she's my pride and joy and I'd love to see how she'd look brand new.
watching this while in school
Love from london❤🇬🇧
Yuk been there such a good feeling once you see the finish product
Nicotine dreams should be the name of the song 😂
Mane that thing had more coffee on the floor than Starbucks 😂
Super Video Thank you 😚👍🤟👌
8:05 I hope you didn't give the customer car back with the cigarette lighter crooked 😂
I love how u give even the shittiest Grand Am the red carpet treatment after youre done with it! Well done!
Wow! I can’t imagine the smell in that car. But, it never fails, you did an awesome job on the carpets. I enjoyed this episode! 💪💣💖❤️🔥❤️
That bad boy would not pass safety inspection down here.
Mitch, with a smokers vehicle wouldn’t the ceiling be also filthy/smoke infested? Do you do anything with this in your details?
loving the videos ❤❤❤❤
Anyone else recently discover this channel & after watching a few videos decided to clean out their vehicles?😂
Thanks for this vid its amazing !!
I hope they took the opportunity to stop smoking ❤
Love your guitar playing are you inspired by Hendrix?
I just got my first car, it’s used and the last owners smoked inside it for SEVEN YEARS. I can’t afford to get a full detail like this until later on in the year. Is there anything I can do at home to help with the smell? I’d love to make it feel like mine but I’m NOT a smoker and I hate the smell so much.
Well at least for the final couple of years left on the car before rust makes it too far gone, it will be clean.
I dont understand smokers, or smoking with windows closed
Ur microfiber towels always look new (not washed), u use them once only?
Ypu should make up some no smoking 🚭 scent disks and put them on their mirror after these details 🤣
This car is worth less than cost of this cleaning.
Man, I didn't think there were any Grand Am survivors left out there. and don't worry, some of us would tell you ahead of time. I try not to in my current car cause the thing turns into a hotbox :P ever had to deal with cleaning an "Amish hauler"? those guys smoke like chimneys, and Oil and Mud get really ground in.
1080 full hd looks bad, why is that?
Outro: Take off those shoes and rock out with your socks out! 🎸🎼🎶
Kind of sweet the owner wants the old fliver cleaned up!😍
You should be a politician you would clean up the government mess for sure, nice video as always 🎉
Just curious, how do you handle the smoke stains in the headliner ?
Was also curious about this. It had to have reeked.
Can we use the iron remover on ceramic coating?
Do you use a dehumidifier to help finish drying the interiors or is it generally understood they won't be completely dry given they were wet cleaned and extracted?
Nothing screams performance more than "Westlake" tires 😂😂
Yuck! Bad smell of smoking in the car and terrible stinks in an old garage. You did a good transformation. Satisfying good! ❤😊
Nice work
Much prefer these shorter vids!
I usually leave the heater on full blast for a hour to speed up drying process
Turned a $500 car into a $1300 car. Just by putting in a little elbow grease. Great job!
Wondering how you clean the headliner in a smokers car?
Detail Geek, Is there a checklist you use when detailing cars? Would you be willing to share that?
Do you ever change the interior filter?
What do u use to restore the black plastic Inside the car
I would not recommend using the ozone generator in a smokers car. Recent studies found out that it increases the chance for getting cancer (bad english, sry)
Yo bud❤
Loved the video❤. More cleaning and a little less talking with more music.🙌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I DO wonder what makes someone buy a car , and then use it like this ? I mean ....why ? what does the rest of their lives look like ?
Hi! - First question, I have a red scratch on my white door how do I get that out (if possible)?
Second Question is can you make a video with all your products/tools and what they are used for? Or point me in the direction of a video you made that’s close to that?
Thanks! Love your videos, I got my nephew and friends to watch them as well 😂.
Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥
Are headboards typically cleaned? /any tips for cleaning one?
Anytime you have to wear a respirator to clean a car that's really bad. Your braver than me dude
👏 Great job man! Quick question, where can i find the drow brush you use for seat's and the power pressure with wheels to wash the car under? Thanks and have a nice day!😀👋
The interior was gross. And it cleaned up nice great job mitch
This poor Grand Am deserved a better life than this. I absolutely love these cars, been looking for a GT model in good condition for a while now.
How much money for the Transformation?
OMG, 3rd hand smoke, egad! And except for the ashtray, you'd never find a mess in my truck, especially like the one you're cleaning. Windows are there to be used! Nobody HAS to be a slob, that goes for smokers too.
Not a good era for GM cars but still those big cushy seats are better quality than anything you’d find today
Did it still smell nasty afterwards 😂🤔
This is a reupload
How do you clean the inner side of the roofing? Thinking of all the smoke going up onto that fabric.
Cant remember seeing you do inner roof cleaning.
Regards from Sweden.
Ideally with as little moisture as possible. Generally speaking, a microfiber paint buffing pad with a couple sprays of very diluted all-purpose cleaner (think at least 8:1 or 10:1 water:product) and gently moving the pad in small circle motions with as little pressure as possible. Blot dry with a clean terry cotton towel (or microfiber, terry cotton has better moisture wicking properties in certain use cases). With older vehicles like the one featured in the video, or with vehicles that have been in hot/dry climates for a long time, cleaning the headliner is risky as the adhesive holding the cloth will be much more brittle and cleaning it can cause the headliner to sag. It's a risk vs. benefit situation on vehicles like that. Detailers who blast the headliner with steam will most certainly be causing the cloth to sag much sooner than it would have otherwise.
@@anticlutch Thank you for the answer. It´s just that adheesive im wondering about. Bought an 2008 renault megane for my daughter and offcourse the inner roof is dirty like nothing else. Havent dared to touch it yet, but was firts thinking of remove it compleatly and buy som fabric and glue it in. Don a lot of car work through the years, but never fabric inner roofing.
Will try your way and see if it make a diffrense, If not, I will have to redo it.
Regards Lasse
What setting do you use on the steamer when doing all this work?
this detail probably cost more than the car is worth lol
What vacuum do you use?
I was wondering, why won't you add some minor paintjobs as well, I think it'll expand your services as well as gives better end results for your transformation videos
Where are you located..? ..i got a couple cars that only you can save..
Mitch is in Saskatchewan Canada. Hopefully a short drive for you.
Lol. Saskatchewan isn't a short drive for ANYONE. There are detailing shops of his in other places. One is in NY.
@@jamesestelle7260 I am not sure if Mitch is a chain yet. He has said many times in videos, he is the sole owner and worker of his shop in Canada. You might be thinking of another shop? Yes, Canada is far away from the US.
@@joelbuchanan471 maybe. I could have sworn he had a video that linked to 2 other detailing shops. One in New York one in Canada outside of his sole residence.
@@jamesestelle7260 Ok, James I understand. When Mitch first started he did all the work out of his garage that was attached to his home. You are right about that. Then last year, he bought some vacant land close to home and built a large building complete with a new high tech studio and lots of room to detail cars and trucks. He even showed us the construction in phases. He really shares a lot with his subscribers. Hope that helps a bit. 😀
What about the vents??
Great job and you can only imagine what the previous owners lungs look like 🤢🤢
whats your steamer name please
Mythbusters already polished a turd. You didn't need to prove it possible again.
I like the second music tho...what its called?
If this isn't a detailing where the costs of the detail are close to, if not more than, the value of the car I don't know..
I must ask. I never see you clean the headliner of any vehicle. Is this something you routinely clean? I ask this given the heavy smoke of this vehicle.
Why do i feel this person went right to a car dealer to get a new car right after and used this as a way to get a better trade in value lol.
Ugh, that's a rough one Mitch 🤢🤮 Appreciate you my friend, stay safe and take care 🙏 amazing job as always 👊👍
Why weren’t you in the studio this time?
It’s an old video. A repost if you haven’t seen it yet .
Ho I'm from South Africa. Love ur channel. How can I get your products here to use in my detail shop
That car is definitely a polished turd now, the kinda car you can wrap around a tree and not feel a flicker of emotion. A proper car 👌
What year is the grand am
'02
No sence to pay for such a bad car condition detail
Guitar Otro Lenny Stevie Ray Vaughan good song
Mitch, do you ever worry about the long term effects of this profession? Touching and breathing in cigarette and brake pad residue in particular can have cause cancer and other nasty ailments.
