Coming from someone who drives a 98 civic. This is exactly why I will always baby my vehicle. She deserves to be treated right. I’ve known people who go through a vehicle almost every year. Simply because they don’t want to put the work in to take care of their vehicles. I do a deep clean twice a year. Fall and spring, but also maintenance clean every couple weeks. Vaccume, dust. My car will be running still when I have kids. And I plan to put the same amount of care into my Honda Pilot when it comes time to upgrade.
Just don’t forget to change the timing belt
maintenance every couple of weeks?
@@heavenbxl9126she means maintenance cleaning. Quick dusting and vacuuming. Remove all trash. Quick detailer/protectant application. Shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to do the whole thing.
Now your gonna make me cry. I loved the life out of my 98 civic, always cleaned it. I hate ice man
Honda’s are the greatest. Still daily driving my 2008 SI
Even if it wasn't entirely necessary, I feel as though, if you sprayed carpet dye on it could've boosted the price even slightly
Yes it would have 100%
I could have done a ton more but wanted to see what a quick detail would do for $$$
Idk what year honda that was but, buying honda carpets are about 160 dollars. It may have been better to just buy a new one in this case. It was a good video. Tho
@@jeffrankin9744 then what’s the point of the video if he just buys new carpet.
@Connor Lemmerman I get your point. But I see the work as a point of diminishing returns. The video was good, but if you were doing some car equally as bad it might be cheaper than 5 hrs of work
@@StaufferGarage are you able to change breaks, oil, and oil filter(maybe an air filter as well)? The bare basics might get you a good little chunk more in profit for very little added investment and very little extra effort(bating stuck tires, aluminum tims can be a bitch to get off sometimes lol) especially if you film proof of you doing the work. Could revenue polish dull headlights using your still and a polishing kit. The extra cost would maybe be about 250-350 bucks factoring in the polishing kit on top of the oil, breaks, and filter.
Great work 👍. The interior was absolutely disgusting. I don't know how people can do that to their cars. You put a lot of time and effort into getting it clean
If they have their car like that imagine how they have their house!!! 🤢🤮
I can’t imagine how garbage accumulate that much.
@@Lacheyenona72 bien marrana ewwww nasty
Wow, what a transformation! Hard to believe people keep their car like that. Even older cars deserve better. And I believe the carpets are old school quality (thick), aren't they?
Yep! Cleaned up better than I thought and the nassty smell is gone. Would have replaced but cost wise and time to flip quick restricted that
If this is how they keep their cars, one can only imagine what kind of a *’GARBAGE DUMP’* their houses would be!
Dude people are just gross. My 01 corolla had a well kept interior and decent paint
@@harshabiliangady3211 I've lived with atleast 12 bachelors in shared apartments during my 5 years in University and oh boi, I seriously pity these men who never grew up from being boys. They just straight up gross man. I took a fresh breath once I finally got my studio.
some of my past cars were like that, i was on the road 2hrs a day going to and from work and driving one of my friends around constantly, was always tired from work so basically i lived out of my car and was too tired to clean, the passenger side floor became a trash can with soda bottles and gas station food wrappers.
now that im not driving as much i keep my car cleaner, sure it may get messy when im on a road trip but i usually clean it right after.
I can only imagine how awesome that car smelled afterwards from just using the mint shine. Great job. 👊
he should've ran an ozone in their for a 5 hours, open windows, leave open for 10 hours. Come back, put a mesh bag of activated carbon, and then use the fragrances.
@@kiavaxxaskew the idea was to do it as cheap and fast as possible.
Biggest thing I find that helps in my flips are better pics/descriptions.
Often times they’re listed as “2005 civic. Runs/drives. $1000 cash”
And then when you get there you can see several new parts or things that can make it more attractive on the flip.
And i love the Cerakote Trim restore on my headlight restores!
🤫 don’t give out our secrets
@@startingtech3900 😂
That was very pleasant to watch! Amazing flip you did. That oxy clean breaking down the organic stuff and grease really did some great work. Love the transformation. I wish we had both Oxy clean and flex ice here in Canada. Amazing transformation all in all James!
Glad you enjoyed it! Can you order it or why don’t you have it?
The derail geek sells car detailing products worldwide but he's from canada
Don't get stuck on brands. You can use peroxide which does exactly the same thing!
The oxygen, does the trick of oxidizing (dah) the dirt molecules. Making for an easy clean. In fact you can use it all around the house.
Example: Kitchen countertop and cutting boards... ;-)
Depending on where you're located. It's probably even cheaper. Cheers ;-)
🤯Insane transformation! That was actually a really good idea. Keep up the good work👍
Thanks! Will do!
Don't forget to add in all the loose change under the seats!😂😂😂 I can't believe the transformation of those carpets!!! Great job!!
Great idea!!
Having a clean car is one of the best habits I need to start
Start by the most basic. Clean/dispose of the loose garbage dumped all over. Packages, papers... Makes a world of difference and literally take seconds at the gas station. ;-)
After that a simple vacuum operation makes wonders. Soon you'll want a brush for the dash dust, to go with the vacuum. Than a rag, than... Damn I create a "monster"! LOL 😂 😂
It's rather addicting. The sarcastic part of all this. Is that it becomes easier and easier the more you dive into it...
I'm a mechanic who also paints and restores cars, since i know everything i need about cleaning and stripping car interiors, one thing i never understood about professional detailers is why after so much work they don't remove the carpet and they insist on cleaning what i would have lit up in flames, the labor involved wouldn't be cheaper than a carpet pulled from the scrapyard that can be as low as 20$ and wouldn't look better than one either after the customer pays hundreds for an interior detailing. I've made many times the proposal of swapping a carpet for cheap and getting new insulation pads but never a detailer who gets a high price to clean something that needs to go. Another time there was a steering rack seal leak under the dash and after this extensive cleaning the car had a bold oil scent after citronella faded away, turned out when i pulled the carpet it had the insulation pads soaked into a huge oil pool. I've seen many cars shining and smelling fresh after an expensive detail to the extend of removing seats, etc and if you pull the door sill trim you'll find damp insulation pads, mold growing from underneath or behind the door panels, and a whole bucket of dust and debris that eventually starts coming out.
I don't talk specifically for the video poster where this car is his and wanted to flip it, but i see people run a business where swapping things for cheap would be more profitable and less labor intensive than getting money to deliver a hidden swamp with lemon cologne to whoever pays the price.
Just depends on the car i feel like
@@g35s Yes but i believe it should not be done professionally when giving the customer the feel that the car would be totally clean afterwards, they can give the option to remove the carpet for extra cost but most i've seen they just do this without mentioning anything.
In the matter of fact i did not remove the carpet on my father's car and i have uploaded a video on my main channel "John's Crafting Lab" detailing it, because it's a car that moves workers and construction materials everyday which i wanted to look better for a few days, but if i was paid for this service i would do the complete tear down of the interior even if i would give it as an option for extra cost, most the detailers i know do not remove any panel or the carpet and some do, but all of them mention a "deep clean" and do not describe what they will do.
New one can be $$159 to $220. For a non luxury car.
@@dennisrobinson8008 except the cars i worked on, got one for mine mint condition used from a newer model aswell, changed the color to black for a total 60$, much cheaper than if i or someone was trying to remove 2 quarts of oil stains and smell that eventually leaked in from the steering rack, because after intensive cleansing with degreasers and pressure washing that i would have charged over 100$ to a customer, the oil was still soaked into the plastic undercoating of the carpet and made the car smell in the summer. Mold and humidity is much worse especially if you don't remove the carpet to clean it and burn the insulation in a bonfire and install new one.
@@johnbelwell2461 did you use spray cans to turn color to black or a paint gun? How many spray cans and or how much paint required?
I bought my first car which was a 02’ odyssey and it was $1500, thankfully the previous owners got it detailed for me
That was really nice of them to do! I had an '02 back in the day as well. Great people movers
I love car flipping! Thanks for the video!!
Cuando la limpieza en una alfombra no es suficiente lo mejor es teñirla y queda genial! Excelente trabajo amigo!
It's amazing how many people in the comments have all the answers. Yet, you're the one with the channel and the flip profit
Cool vid. The car gets a new life. Good thing that the interior, dash and all the buttons were still in tact.
Used to have a Honda like this and man, memories coming to my head again, we got one new and then now looking back, it was a good daily. Sold it for $500 to my neighbor 😞
Hahhaa I miss my 97 ek hatch. That era was my favorite
Damn i miss my 99 civic lx auto.. that 1.6L 4door shitbox was the most fun i had in a car.. always blasting redline, always throwing it around on any road, hell even offroading... it took so many beatings for a whole year.. only to die by a spun bearing after the oil pump failed.. damn i miss it every day. When i get a house with a bigger driveway/garage for sure i'll get another ek and put it in top notch condition with some spicy mods.. cheers
I’ve had civics and accords all the way from 1993 to 2002 and this might not be most popular opinion but my 2002 accord coupe v6 black all leather multi disc CD player fast good on gas still my favorite old school Honda to this day
Amazing!
Now I want to go deep clean my car man it’s satisfying watching this
You did a great job of cleaning it up and I think maybe I will try one to see how it goes.
Amazing as always
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing work
I had an 03 civic that had the exact same interior (when clean lol)…watching this was nostalgic for me
I was drinking my Dr. Pepper when 8:07 jumped up in my face 😂🤮
hahahaha tasty
Never gonna understand why people let the cars like this "oh, some fries fell out, nothing happened "

wow nice work 👏 good job
Bro. U got robbed. $1000 for a dirty ass car like that and it’s beat up? I bought a car for $300 in way better condition. Interior was detailed and clean, only problem was the engine is blown. So gotta do a trans swap on my other engine. Hopefully it’s not harder then I’m expecting it to be, but when I get it running again I plan on possibly repainting it or fixing the minor body dents, and eventually gonna flip the car. I spent a lot of time on it, but I’m willing to sell for at least 1300-1500. 1999 Honda civic DX 5speed manual.
Why don't you rinse the plastic parts you remove out of the car instead of wiping them with a towel?
Your channel is infected with scammers.
The seller had to live off Parsons ave. 😂😂😂
Man! I had an interior just as bad scheduled for what the customer thought would be my express interior option (my starting package). Same kind of staining. I ended up saying screw it and throwing in free steaming and extraction on carpeting because i could never imagine having to sit in a “ clean “car with stained carpeting 😂
Don’t do that my brother. That’s your valuable time. If they dont pay dont do extra. They choose the level of service. People are generally selfish and it wont come back around to you. You are running a business and you owe them nothing but your best which I know you will do.
@@JeLifeCoach once in a while, especially if you can afford it, an act of generosity is worth it just to spread positivity and make someone happy
Congratulations on the flipping the car. As usual you did a great job detailing. Unlike most of the cars you work on, this one didn't have much wear and tear on the inside (i.e. no torn seats, carpeting).
Thanks! 👍I’m glad it didn’t! Picked the flip wisely
A respray would cost the new owner a grand or so..and for that he has something that has 3-4 years of life in it and looks respectable. Yes new cars would last a decade or so comfortably. Still certain charm in the simplicity of the old school design.
Welcome back, missed my weekly dose of stauf 🙏👍
Class work as always 👌😎
Heck yes! Thanks for tuning in this week! Like the flips? Want to see more?
Manufacturers need to bring back real carpet in cars! That looks so much more appealing than what they put in now.
A tip for anybody who didn’t know this. You can dye carpet. Just take spray paint to it. I would remove the carpet if you’re doing a color change though. I’ve done it many time detailing at dealerships. I’m about to dye my tan carpet black in my Accord.
What about dyeing car seats, does it work? Bought a car in a mess condition and worn out seats. I don’t have much I just want to make it work.
@@boxoffisa yes, even leather seats. You just need to buy the proper paint for the material.
@@The13lacabyss thanks mate. I will try that up.
I love detailing it’s so satisfying I’d have done definitely tackled this one
Glad you enjoyed it!
just bought starter pack, excited to see how this product works!
You are going to love the apc and brushes… and the towels! Thanks
That looks like the inside of my Explorer I got for free. I've vacuumed it twice and rug doctored it now, but it was pretty terrible. The worst was the back seat area and the rear. It was soaked in animal blood because it was used for hunting. There was so much blood I got 3 full tanks before it ran somewhat clear. These car detailing videos are really satisfying.
Wow! That car must've smelled horrible!
@@jeraldjoyce2995 Oh yeah it smelt like death, sweat, and wet dog. Even worse on a hot day. Now it just has a faint dog odor and engine oil smell. Which is leagues better!
Good stuff 🔥
I haven't watched your videos in a while but your edit in this one is amazing.
this is the first car I drove. so cool to see it being clean
Those Honda interiors hold up well. Aside from the carpeting the rest of the interior looks to be in great condition.
The extractor dumps looked like you had dredged the Mississippi. Insane change. Congrats!!
Yes! Thank you!
Nice work Jimmy!
Thanks!
Great job!
Thanks!
Steam cleaner would help you massively with the hard plastics 👍👍
Love the channel
Bravo 😮
Good job , you removed 300 miles of dirt from this car , nice result .
Great work. I own 98 and 2005 civics. Amazing daily driven cars.
nice techniques, is expensive in Connecticut to inspect, register, insurance but if buying at low price and selling a little high usually helps to make some extra $$$. great content.
Shew - that’s wild!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
8:09 Me after McDonald's, great vid btw
I've had very good luck using Simple Green to dissolve grease in carpets
Only because it's a Honda, I WATCHED. Make & model, matters. FACT 💯😮
That vehicle was equivalent to a septic tank you cleaned it up great. Profitable job.👍🏾😎
Had a buddy put an open bag of sunflower seeds on the dash of my 99 Tacoma. Seeds fell through the vents and every time I turned the heater or AC on I could hear them dancing around inside. Took 3 years for them to all eventually find their way out onto the floorboard. Just a random thought this vid made me remember.😅
Great job
It’d be nice if people included what they’d have to pay in taxes in their profit margin. No one ever does that.
We know that flipping cars for profit is taxable income so, it’d be nice to see how to factor it into one’s assessment of vehicles to flip.
Try a combo of vinegar, dawn dish soap and baking soda for the oily greasy floors then hit with the extractor.
Well done!
Great video
Please! More flipping !
deal!
Very cool
Good video. No intro delay, nice.
Wow awesome job Stauffer Garage
Thanks bud
@@StaufferGarage you're welcome 😊 🙏
I cannot believe the quality of that carpet , like shag pile compared to todays crappy carpets even in premium cars great job as always
6-7 years ago I've flipped about 20 cars only with a little bit of work (oil change, detaling, brake, tires,...) maybe I start do it again, in Switzerland we don't have a limit of purchase pro year 😉
Lucky! You should!
great job!
what do you use for a shop vac? looks like whatever you have does a nice job
That carpet looks so plush. You can tell right away it's going to clean up nicely! How long did the entire interior take to clean not counting drying time? Trying to gauge my efficiency in my details.
I heard 5 hours at the end. Wow. That's a LOT faster than I could have done that. I need to up my efficiency!!
You could go beyond that; and actually redye the carpet grey with a spray can. It will make the carpet look brand new because even with a shampoo machine not all stains will be removed
It's been a while since you bought the car to flip it. Great video
Yeah thanks! Plan to do more since it seems like everyone is enjoying them
Try white vinegar for stains. It’s a great natural product that can work wonder when mixed with other cleaning chemicals
you should do more flip cars like this.
I agree, it was fun!
You did an amazing job but I think you should invest into a steamer. Based on other detailing videos, a steamer can take your work to another level
Thanks
Yislyk. U inspire me❤
Not bad return on investment for short ownership. What could you have done to get a higher return, was there anything that could have net more money?
Damn they really left behind an entire ritz sleeve🤦🏽♂️ big mistake
I had a free lunch ;)
Awesome work! Honestly, I'm too lazy to do what you do! But, then again. I have a lot of money.
It’s a good side hustle. I live in nc and legally your allowed to sell five cars a year as a private citizen and the cool part is they never ask or report the amount the vehicle is bought or sold for because they do the property tax based on the cars value according to some other resource like kbb or an insurance average so there is never a paper trail to how much you made 😅 i personally deal all cash and put it in my safe so Uncle Sam doesn’t know or couldn’t prove it existed😅😅
Bravo sir!
I would've used a steam cleaner on most of the plastic interior pieces. I'm assuming you don't have one because you would've been using it too.
It softens up all the hard candy stuff and kills all the bacteria.
Take vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and club soda, make a solution out of it in a bottle. Spray the stained area, I.e., carpet, seats, use your drill brush and scrub. Let it sit for a few minutes. The steam vacuum. You can thank me later. Good work!
Good morning from Flagstaff, Arizona
Morning Michael!
Nice job
Nice job on that flip
Nice work... for beginners that likes to start a detailing business what equipments do i need to purchase.
"side hustle" yeah everyone has a hot water extractor. The realm side hustle is this man's UA-cam channel
Dude a bissel on Fb marketplace is $30 used. I started my detailing on one of those.
Your comment just shows your limited mindset man.
the civics are healing
is so relaxing.....
Glad you think so!
Hope the head gasket is not blown. good luck.
Very good CarSpa
Thank you brother but am from Bangladesh... ❤️ Love and respect
You’ll be surprised how many cars I pull into the bays at my job that look exactly like this.
Something I will never understand how come that such car owners let their cars reach such a terrible condition!!!!!!
idk either... the smell of this thing was so gross
pigs
I was wondering same thing
Probably a pretty good reflection of how they feel about themselves.
Love all the "experts" in the comments who know how to flip cars better than this guy ...
Sorry but even $1000 for that car is high, I’d say maybe $500…. Detail does make a world of difference .
In what world ? That’s a Honda lol you will never find a Honda for less than $1k no matter the condition 😂
@@abrahamramirez7239not true at all
@@ih8twin a running driving Honda will not go under $1k they run longer than most vehicles on the road. I sold a 250k mile 98 Toyota for over $6,500. It’s about what’s under the hood.

Cleanliness is important especially in ones car....
How did you go about creating your own line of cleaning products? Are there consultants that you would contact and who are in
contact with chemists, and manufacturers? Thanks in advance.
Amazes me people who try to sell a car on web and never even clean it at all. Would sell a whole lot better if they just clean dash and vacuum
