    Those stains looks like rust water 💦 stains on the carpet.. I worked at my grandparents dealership and the trade in that came to us in some bad shape, the carpet had those stains and ended being rust water... Not much to do there.. You do an amazing job!! You are great... 😊

    Lovely detail!
    I remember when I was a teenager, my uncle had a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe that he LS swapped and converted it to RWD. Man, that one beast of a machine! The engine came from a wrecked C5 Corvette that my uncle picked up for cheap. He modified the engine adding a larger throttle body, mild cam, long tube headers, and full side exhaust with high flow cats. It sounded nice. Sadly, the car met it's fate while my uncle was track racing it back in 2006 and totaled the car. Slid off the track and hit a tire wall/fencing. Messed the front end up pretty badly. He was fine. Just a few bruises and a broken wrist. The car ended up going to the scrap yard.

    When you ran the ozone machine did you run the car with the heat on high? That opens the pores in the materials and gets more of the smell out. It would also help with the smell in the hvac system. I used to do fire and water restoration. Running the heat on high was standard procedure. Also, do you detail under the hood on any of these vehicles?

    While these cars are undeniably cheap beater cars by now I always really liked this generation of Grand Ams. It's quintessentially 90s-early 2000s Pontiac. Before they lost all sense of being unique before the brand got killed off.

    Good Morning Mitch, you did an amazing job cleaning up the Grand Am. I am still cracking up that your first car was a Pontiac Firefly. I had to look it up and found in the states it was called a Geo Metro. My buddy had a yellow convertible like your firefly and it got stolen twice. My friends were astonished that it got stolen. BTW, I had a great time re-watching your videos for the "where's Mike" contest. You are the most fun! I am sure that's why you have SO many subscribers.
