Now this lovely lady was the proper candidate for this! You just know she will take care of that Mini like you´re supossed to. I wish Juley all the best with her Mini!
@@sigmamale6128 When you think about the fact that this car is 40 years old and used with a whole family it was pretty clean and in a good condition. She might not be crazy about cleaning it every Sunday but she took care of it. And you have really other thinks to do as a mom than worrying over your car. The car wouldn't look like that if she didn't took care all those years.
Been a reliable friend for many people in 40 years. The car deserves the love just as much as Juley deserves to drive it now it's all sparkling. Good job.
When transport was transport, and not a status symbol, a Mini was a ground braking and effective family car. Now we all need two-ton faux off roaders... go figure.
It will be hard to find a small car with ony the basics nowadays. And the price starts roughly around €15.000 (in the Netherlands at least). That's crazy.
Big killer for these old cars is safety. Such cool little things, but you really really mustn't crash in them. No crumple zones, no airbags, no abs etc - really makes owning one as a daily driver quite a risk.
@@SpottedCreeper the designer, Alec issigonis (I think I spelt that right) once said something along the lines of, "it's designed to be nimble enough to not crash." Had an uncle who managed to write off a lorry with his mini. Admittedly he nearly wrote himself off too, but not quite. Obviously the mini was no more. Also no crumple zones aren't a bad thing in old cars nowadays... everyone else has such nice soft cars to hit, just use their crumple zones! (Of course, I jest)
This series is fab! Would be nice to collaborate with someone that could fix the stitching and leather too to get it good as new! But the clean alone was a night and day diff
Btw I think you'd benefit from having "Clean Team" on the thumbnail somewhere! I like this series and keep missing the uploads because the thumbnail isnt clear and the word "Clean Team" is at the end of the title!
@@Fr0dders I understand the concept of the video - but I'm suggestion Top Gear UA-cam channel COULD do that where they have a restoration then a detailing on a car which is battered
@@Fr0dders Sure, I wouldn't expect them to replace the soiled seat foam that is loaded with 40 years of farts, but c'mon, why not fix the tear in the driver's seat when it's already removed from the car and thoroughly cleaned?
@@DaRealBzzz The goal is to clean the car in 8 hours. Sure thay can fix the tear, but it will take more than just 8 hours... not unless they have more people in the team.
These guys are bloody awesome! It would be great to see a video on the tools and cleaning/polishing products they use and the situations they use them in.

Rode in one many years ago during a visit to Trinidad. Great little car. One of my brothers took his road test in one during the time he was living in London.
I said wow! at the difference to the seats and the paintwork looked matt before, after was glossy and reflective. It looks amazing and Juley is so sweet, what a lovely thing to do for her. ❤❤
Lovely lady with a lovely car and THE Clean Team in a very satisfying 15 mins. Thank you guys, keep it up and don't forget to properly do the "wax on, wax off" moves.
An acquaintance had a red one of these back in the early 80s. The doors had no liners and the latch was activated by pulling a chain. It was a brilliant bit of basic transportation
A few thoughts that crossed my mind: Don't people in the U.K. use rubber or textile floor carpets in their cars? That would most definitely help keeping the car clean. You did nothing about the ripped leather in the car seat? That would also prevent dirt. You did not consider turning the interior roof lamp off while working inside the car? Leaving it on for so long can easily drain the battery as you know. Apart from that - the lady got a nice clean car in return!
@@juleyross it looks beautiful. I had mine as my daily driver for six years. It was parked outside, exposed to northern climate, and I was unable to keep it this tidy.
Lovely guys and beautiful Mini. Came up a treat!...but...my biggest disappointment in almost every detailing job I watch from different channels...nobody ever cleans the engine bay!! Probably one of the dirtiest areas which let a car down and they don't do it? Yes I know...electrics and all that, but a simple steam clean is all it takes...why do they not do it? I have my cars regularly valeted and detailed and they always do both the engine and the chassis. Makes a massive difference. Don't get it.
In my country early 70s *Austin Mini* was the car of many families, poor or rich, it was manufactured in Arica, Chile in *fiber glass mold.* 😀 (same for MG) Light yellow was my favorite color, I remember so well. Early 90s came then the Rover Mini, but a little expensive maybe. Greetings and congrats from Santiago, Chile SouthAmerica 🇨🇱 PD: what a handsome guy, the skiny guy.🤭 He looks like Chris Evans. 😉
This series has me replacing my crap rags and bucket and all-purpose car cleaner with actual cleaning products and procedures. Got a pressure washer, foam sprayer, interior cleaner, rotary brush, clay bars, the works. Now I just need cars worthy of the effort :)
You need to drive one for a few months to understand. Preferably on rural roads. Over hump back bridges, sideways with tyres smoking, handbrake turning, deserted snowy roads. It used to be that the British public would defend that little car like any attack was an attack on their mother. Now roads are engineered straighter, so SUVs with electronic stability control can't fall over.
The forty year old mini came up a real treat, especially of the inside seating & carpets. I'd love to know what cleaning liquids you used on inside to make the difference between before & after cleaning.
It would have taken three years for the interiors to dry in UK weather and BBC Top Gear would have never thought that they will be presenting their random cleaning lads for the show. Well some would have said " I dish the dirt out and I can take it. But why my mother and children have to take it ! when BBC can. ! Anyway nice nice.
Those carpets would look better stained black. I’d also invest in upholstering all the seats in black. That way, stains wouldn’t be such a big issue and it would go great with the silver exterior. Then again, everything looks better if you have the money to put into it. An expat watching in Florida.
Made my day to see the stjarnagloss bloke on top gears channel. Too many big egos in the detailing business. Guys like these two make it a more enjoyable and appealing hobby/business.
For the interiors, wouldn't it have been better to start with the ceiling, and work their way down from there, instead of starting with the floor? That way there's no risk of wasting time twice if something spills down.
Now this lovely lady was the proper candidate for this! You just know she will take care of that Mini like you´re supossed to.
I wish Juley all the best with her Mini!
ah yes you know she will take care of it when shes had it dirty like that for years, makes sense.

@@sigmamale6128 to be fair, it looked fairly clean and maintained for a forty year old car

This is the kind of person that deserves this. Someone who takes care of their car and uses it regularly like it's meant to be.

Legit lol these people buy 80k Suvs to to just drive around 1 person and get 10mpg

I love the woman! She’s awesome. Impressive how (relatively) clean it was after 40 years
Clean? srsly?
no matter what generation we are in, when we see a mini drive by we always turns our heads to see the beauty of it.... ❤️
No lol. The new minis are ugly af. It's bloated. These minis were revolutionary but the new minis are just bmw reskinned with a mini like body
Great editing, haven’t fast forward ⏩ any part myself. Good job

Inspiring me to give my classic mini a deep clean. They really are amazing cars
Love your work if the new Top Gear comes back you should have 10 min section, one of the guests or attendees cars!
Agreed!!!
Lol no. It would be as lame as that used car section of season 1.
Her enthusiasm was amazing
What a lovely lady and omg I love her Little Min Mini😍❤️❤️
Literally polish value back into a gem of a motor. Top job fellas.
Wow, top job guys. Little Min looks bloody awesome 👍👍

Gorgeous! We never realised that our car is so dirty only when we have that professionally cleaned.
This is the best series of videos from Top Gear for a long time.
This is not Top Gear. Who even are these guys?
@@RWL2012 This is the new topgear after clarkson, hammond and may
I'm sure this would make Mr.bean proud lol. Now all it needs is a colorful yellow paint job😎👍💙
Literally the only clip I like from the new top gear

I hope you keep that little beauty forever. Long may you run L'il Min, long may you run.
Gosh I had a 1982 miniHL in dark blue as in my first car around 1986, loved it. Happy days
You can tell it's been sitting in a garage. No rust in the usual spots!
there are a few rust spots, and I had an extensive re-do about 15 years ago!
@@juleyross it looks beautiful. I had mine as my daily driver for six years. It was parked outside, exposed to northern climate, and I was unable to keep it this tidy.
Great work and a lovely Mini!👍
That little car is adorable! I want one! ♥️🤩
I love mini’s so much just sitting in one puts a huge grin on my face.😁
I love British television! Well done, lads. Looks fantastic!
Any tips for removing yellow stains from adhesive on the headlining? Specialist vinyl cleaners haven’t had any effect.
Juley is just radiating positive energy :D
I honestly would LOVE to have my truck cleaned this well. I have a 1988 GMC 1500 34 years old and all original interior
As an ex owner.....I’m always terrified to see a power washer near an original mini. 😅
有夠療愈，真的很喜歡看這種老車清潔過後重生的樣子。

As a kid my dream car was a mini clubman, it had to be the mustard yellow one with the brown stripe. It's still my dream car❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
This is legit. Keep it coming top gear team! 🤩🤙
Better than new 👌 I wonder what it takes to stop a classic from turning to dust but still able to use it ever day like this?
Garaged and regularly serviced and not driven like a racing car and a light cleaning once a week then a light polishing.

Amazing transformation. Icon shines once again !
14:10 she is lovely and adorable as her car.
these lads ave personality and professionalism! love it
My dad used to won this car back in the 80's. A lot of fun riding in it. No aircon though.
I like how shes taken care of it its one of my FAVORITE cars of all time because of Mr. Bean
Thank God i ain't the only one who thought of Mr bean

There’s no actual guidance on how to use that equipment and employ the methods correctly - without that you’ll be ‘all the gear, no idea.’
That was very satisfying. Just the motivation I need to give a bit of TLC to my family's motors this weekend
4:38 don't be so negative now 💀🤣
What an outstanding job they did, really admire that.
This is some wholesome content.
mini is definitely one of the best companies with the best paint from factory 💪
Not anymore. It's just bmw owned rn.
Julie when you feel the time to sell it I'd be grateful to take care of it for another 40+ years 🙏 love minis 😁🤣
4:38 ayooo
That ain't no mushroom
Dam I really miss my old mini was same colour as that
Wish they wouldn''t keep limiting it to 8 hours and just let them do a full job.
I always love Mini 🙌🏼❤️
It's gorgeous any time 🔥
14:49: Missed a spot there on the left door sill
Great job guys l live literally ten minutes up the road from where this is filmed 👍🏻🇬🇧
So this is topgear now. Okay !!

What a lovely honest little mini basic but lovely 😍
Clicked on the video by chance. How thrilled was I to see Joe and Jack working on this mini!!!
Amazing work guys :D
The forty year old mini came up a real treat, especially of the inside seating & carpets. I'd love to know what cleaning liquids you used on inside to make the difference between before & after cleaning.
Very good job 👍🏻 but of if I were Julie, I would change the old carpet with new one
But all the rest such as seat , exterior and the vynl are ok
Smashed it lads, one happy granny, mad as a box of frogs, but happy!. Nice1. 👋😉👍
Such a satisfying video to watch! Can't wait to see others! The boys are great on screen personalities too
14:17 - Julie: Did you steal my plates?
Great advert for the original MIni. Workhorse indeed. And very rust free for a south coastal Mini.
It’s a beautiful little mini lovely condition
Damn for 40 years?
Rad!
“We are an hour in…the car is clean, the car is dry,I feel like this is going quite well, shall we stick the kettle on?” 😂

Well some would have said " I dish the dirt out and I can take it. But why my mother and children have to take it ! when BBC can. ! Anyway nice nice.
Please make more of this series. It's absolutely entertaining. Well done!

best car of all time
Wow great job guys!
Definatelly a dream car i’d love to get
My first car was a Mini Austin.....a strong and sturdy British car.....if choice is given, would go for an other one !
her before condition looks better than my 2016 car >.>
Love your work guys great job
What a lovely car!
Made my day to see the stjarnagloss bloke on top gears channel. Too many big egos in the detailing business. Guys like these two make it a more enjoyable and appealing hobby/business.
that car looks mint for it being 40 years old. No Rust anywhere on it
Is it ok to pressure wash classic minis? I know they have but mine doesn't like rain, let alone a hose
Please please can you tell me what water jet systwm is being used
Why does low pressure water help with the drying stage? 3min21
More of these please!
For the interiors, wouldn't it have been better to start with the ceiling, and work their way down from there, instead of starting with the floor? That way there's no risk of wasting time twice if something spills down.
How on Earth did that stood up so well to 4 kids 😮???
Need more of these 👌
Job well done so now Julie we've made it lovely and clean what you going to do. I'm going to put bags of compost and plants back in it....
Could you please next time don’t put music please? Because it’s much more relaxing and engaging if there’s no music at all
Wow! You cleaned the car. Nobody can´t do it.
Beautiful car!
What's the product to spray for seats and carpet cleaning?
Please give this lady her own Gardening show 🤣
8 hours??? When I worked at Ford in the detail shop each worker had 3.5 hrs -4.5hrs to finish a truck or car 💯💯
