The car hasn't been driven for 3 years which means it will have a host of mechanical things to be repaired or serviced. Pil change coolant change battery needs to be replaced bad gas in the tank. Possible corrosion in the fuel lines (ethanol in the fuel attracts water) brake fluid probably needs to be flushed. Brake rotors are probably severely pitted and need replacing... who knows what them suspension bushings look like... there could have been rodents living inside the engine bay and chewed wires... the longer a car sits the worse it is.
@@antonisautos8704 you correct, but you describing a car that's been standing a lot longer in very bad conditions ... This car has most likely been in a storage facility for cars . I.e: all the algae?
@@antonisautos8704 all that besides suspension is just a regular revision of a car that should be made every year anyway: changing coolant, oil, brakes etc. And the battery. If you know what you re doing it'll cost you like 200/300 bucks to fix, not really a problem
@@neilgouws6962 it's been sitting under a tree ie all the leaves and mold from said tree. That's what a car looks like after sitting under a tree for awhile. That's why he used a clay bar probably had little specks of sap all over it. Surprised he didn't find a hornets nest or something under the hood they make good nests for many things
Had to make sure I wasnt the only one. I used to be a detailer, and no matter what type of service they are doing you keep the water out of the trunk. You learn very quickly to have standards in place like that will save you with muscle memory in the long run, which (hopefully) by then you'll be working on nicer cars that do actually matter what happens with the trunk. It saves a bunch of hassle to be smooth with that spray tech 😉
I imagine it going like a bearded man shaving it all off and trying all the styles down till bare skin. The possibilities with the mold on the car would be endless lol
I was thinking the same thing. Not to mention a simple spray, even with a power washer, won't get rid of all the mold spores. You'd have to bleach the sucker
@@Frankiebug21 Pretty sure bleach doesn't kill mold either. I think it just whitens it, so it doesn't look like it's there. You need a product specifically for killing mold, or a good steam cleaner.
Took the words right out of my mouth! Mold would not come off from a pressure washer no matter if it's a hotsy. Like you said it's just dirt build up and algae. He damn sure wouldnt of had his hand on the hood at the beginning where the algae cane off.
Man if you do rescue restorations like this often, I strongly recommend getting some ppe like masks and gloves. Like a full of full seal mask. Inhaling mold is a world of headaches you don't want
I've never seen anyone detail the hubcaps on a car! I feel like hubcaps are a very rare thing to see in detailing videos and I appreciate the effort in cleaning them and the steel wheels under them!
I’ll agree I cringed a bit when he cleaned them face down on the concrete, but let’s be real, they were probably already scratched up way worse before they cleaned. And of course, they are literally just plastic hub caps, probably super cheap just to buy new ones lol.
If when you scrub the wheels, the soap is that brown, you should go another time because there is still a load of blooming in them. Scrub till suds are white and then they are clean!
@@nobubbles4u it's the same...have a rotting nissan almera...haa...it's standing for 3 years already...reeks of death if you open the lid for motoroil...
Just a quick tip from a fellow detailer. It saves a good bit of time to just use a pressure washer on floor mats instead of the extractor 👍 awesome vid btw
I don't know man, I'd go extra steps in cleaning a car that's been sitting for years and that has that much mold. You cleaned it nicely on the outside but I'd go extra step and remove weather strips and other rubber to clean the area underneath that. Next, after done cleaning, I'd focus on the interior, get an ozone generator, a steam cleaner, and an extractor and do a pass on the entire interior, especially the seats and carpet. After that clay bar the entire car, polish it and protect it with silicone and UV protectant. After all that I'd add put some nice smelling car perfume to compliment the overall look of the car. That's just how I would do the job.
I had a 96 SE with a 5 speed. Had to give it up because of the amount of rust that was on it (found out it came from Wisconsin when I did a CarFax on it). It had 200k miles on it and ran and drove beautifully.
@@buffalop32acdm23 with the cloth seats and a 3rd brake light on the deck lid I'd say its a 97'-99' gxe with aftermarket head lights. I don't know why you would change the heax lights but keep the ugly stock turn signals. To each his own i guess.
Another thing to remember when you're looking to resell a vehicle like this from the 90s that has sat for that long: replace the speakers, since the surrounds are almost certainly dry rotted.
This mans thumbnail said 10 years of mold, than in the vid he said it was left for 3 yrs. You sayin this man drove this car with 7yrs wort of mold on it and drove around like it was nothin??? Edit: spelling
Damn that is one very good exterior condition car. Other than the mold it clearly looks almost as if it was unused before being left to mold. Great job!
This is the most satisfying video I’ve ever seen in my whole life! It’s much better than the other “satisfying” videos which aren’t as satisfying as this!
I love detail geek, but I also love this guy. I do agree with you though. I think since he's so meticulous, people tend to use him as a standard instead of realising everyone has their own way of detailing vehicles. I feel this channel does a great job.
The things that I'm seeing different are so very minimal... But to see the difference between you guys when you released this video and you guys as of now... The differences are just... Amazing. 👏👏👏👏 So proud of you.
currently living with my grandfather looking for a job and tryna get a car, always wanted to start my own detailing business, so iappreciate these videos ive learned alot 💛 plus its fun to watch ::))
Idk why anyone has to bring up another popular channel of the same theme, youtube is for everyone and I just as I liked watching dr pimple popper, I like Enilsa and Josefa and the toe bro! I don’t judge, all of them are soothing and satisfying. 😌
This car cleaned up really well, it didn’t look like the same car after the detail, it was really satisfying to see that mould blasted away by the pressure washer lance, happy New Year guys, and greetings from Europe!.
Lost 1x MOSSY LUMP! Gained 1x CAR! Very satisfying. The camera angles made it easy to see everything. I liked your explanations at each stage. The music was eclectic, lol, but not intrusive, generally relaxing, so that was fine. I dig the little gundog on the side of your hat. Overall, I'm lichen what you're doing here.
Is the water from the pressure washer cold or hot? You should be wearing gloves at all times when detailing, particularly in this one, since mold is no joke...(maybe even a mask). Great work, though! ;)
New buyer “Man this is a clean car! Someone really took care of it! What a great deal!”
On the contrary, the car has not been driven for three years, therefore it's not mechanical abused 😉

Is anyone else surprised at how good the paint looks?
Avraam Semerikov I am shocked. I expect more serious staining.
I was thinking the same. He just needed i llbit of love ⭐
Yea ikr
Avraam Semerikov the mold was a shell and kept it safe
Jep
Am I only one thinking “ he just full on sprayed the inside of the trunk”
i was bugging to
Jon Secord yeah but it doesn’t really matter lol. It would dry
@@yeseniarivera1956 yeah but still weird af
Yeah, the trunk is full of water

Should’ve left a mold racing stripe across the whole thing 😂
🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly what I was thinking I was disappointed when he didn't do it 🤣
All of that mold probably ended up being good for the paint. Acted like a sunscreen.
It does. Even dirt protects paint when its left on for years. But by no means am i saying not to wash and wax your car haha
I agree with you..
Doesn't mold ruin you paint?
Call me funny but I’ll keep my rigs indoors and mold free
Great point
This is not mold! This is just Algae from plants... If this was mold you wouldn't want to go anywhere near it without the right PPE
I was thinking the same thing. Not to mention a simple spray, even with a power washer, won't get rid of all the mold spores. You'd have to bleach the sucker
All that aerosoled mould would fuck you up. Not mould.
I mean he did say algae and mold.... maybe there's mold somewhere else like inside like he mentioned.
@@Frankiebug21 Pretty sure bleach doesn't kill mold either. I think it just whitens it, so it doesn't look like it's there. You need a product specifically for killing mold, or a good steam cleaner.

Only black mold and if u want to be technical mold is edible that’s what blue cheese is
It’s alge on the car
I've never seen anyone detail the hubcaps on a car! I feel like hubcaps are a very rare thing to see in detailing videos and I appreciate the effort in cleaning them and the steel wheels under them!
Tho cleaning them facedown on a concrete pad... I would rather have them dirty than scratched up.
I cringed aswell, you can see them scratched up at 23:17
I’ll agree I cringed a bit when he cleaned them face down on the concrete, but let’s be real, they were probably already scratched up way worse before they cleaned. And of course, they are literally just plastic hub caps, probably super cheap just to buy new ones lol.

Yes that is correct way
Erin LaFleche facts. I think he was like, ‘fuck it, it’s a Toyota’ in my head. Lol
@@MrMassey4ever but it's a Nissan

Angziety ha I know.
6:52 YOU MISSED THE FRONT CORNER OF THE FENDER AND THAT WILL PREVENT ME FROM SLEEPING TONIGHT
No he got it
@@saatisthong6139 I saw him get it too, I think they may have meant 7:52 but I'm pretty sure he got that too- I don't think he would leave mold on it
Damm, the fact you vacuumed up all the leaves bothers me so much.
Right? So dreadful!
Same!!! Glad it's not only me.
Blowing them off and vacuuming what's left would have been much easier.
I was wondering why he didn't just use a leaf blower.
I seriously was just asking myself why didnt he just blow them off lol
Tip: turn music down so we can hear what you are saying
Up!
Just look 👀👀👀👀 .music is great also ✌✌✌
Please
Ayo he needs to fix his mic ASAP
Just a quick tip from a fellow detailer. It saves a good bit of time to just use a pressure washer on floor mats instead of the extractor 👍 awesome vid btw
Also a detailers, and will 100% agree
The mold protected the paintwork all these years...
Minimalist
Not too often mold is a good thing!
Well it was probably under a tree which was hiding it from the sun that’s prob why there’s tons of leaves too
@@evojumpman8806 leaves fly
Roman Seales no when it gets stuck or rain goes on pushing the leaves into a gunk
“Nissan Maxima for sale, older couple owned, always garage kept”
Are we gonna ignore the part where it said “Help me!” On the front of the car.
When you flip the wheel cover on the floor, certainly creates more scratches.
Good job on the rest.
MrSyriaMoon yeah I was cringing lol
I came here to say the same thing
@@mrbig921 so as me
I was good with everything until then. I screamed inside 😂
MrSyriaMoon I was gonna say the same thing. Should have put down something to protect them from the coarse concrete. 😨
Paintwork looked great its like mould protected it lol.

Be careful with ozone machine, it can corrode things in your vehicle if not properly done.
If you’re planning on keeping the car then sure. If you’re selling it then it’s a poor return on investment.
imsickofmakingnames why?
Him:"moldy dirty car"
Also him: TOUCHES CAR WITH HANDS
I'm impressed by how good the paint looks for a 22 yo car with all that stuff on top....
I bet it was under a roof
I think the mold and gunk all over the paint protected it
Great job! Only two things missing was a undercarriage pressure accessory and an ozone machine for the interior.
You watch too much detail geek. Just bc he does that doesn’t mean everyone has too.
@@tbfit7808 There's a reason there are undercarriage sprayers on automated carwashes...
numberyellow not around my area
Be careful with ozone, it can corrode
You know your car is dirty when you have to vacuum the outside of it before washing it
it was looking like this man is painting the car this white colour😃
Circuit Designer in a way yes
Im suprised at how clean the headlights are
BimoDredd Biking they’re made of glass that’s why
Rick Feeney this model didn’t have glass. I have a relative that owns one it’s plastic
Must have been parked facing north...
Holy hell that looks amazing. 3.0 5 speed too? I'd buy that in an instant
Corie Burk right! That must have been a base GXE.
I had a 96 SE with a 5 speed. Had to give it up because of the amount of rust that was on it (found out it came from Wisconsin when I did a CarFax on it). It had 200k miles on it and ran and drove beautifully.
Right! Super clean... I wonder what the mileage is..

Back when Nissan was worth something 😢
I was actually shocked at how shiny the paint was under the mold. Great video! I just discovered your channel and subscribed.
You and the detail geek are my fav youtubers because I love watching these vids cause they satisfying!
All I can say is WOW! You are the rain man of detailing! Your technique is on fleek !!!!
But why did he have his hand on the mold on the hood in the beginning of the video?
First world problem
Its algae and dirt it's not a big problem
Ryan Grant yes but he had no gloves
The mold (and whatever shady tree the car sat under) protected the paint and those headlights wonderfully!
This has always been my dream car. Call me crazy but if I could get one today, I'd drive the hell out of it!! Thank you for fixing this beauty up!
Ok vacuuming leaves aside....that was quality pressure washing lol
I would have paid you to allow me to pressure wash that car. 😍
Same!!
For a car lover this is just as satisfying to watch as a stray kitten or puppy rescue!
Really good video. I love watching detailing videos like this. Keep making more !!!!! 🙌🏻
Another thing to remember when you're looking to resell a vehicle like this from the 90s that has sat for that long: replace the speakers, since the surrounds are almost certainly dry rotted.
This is a cute car. As long as it works, I would be willing to buy it.
That was CRAZY‼️
Nothing more pleasing than to see the fruit of your hardwork infront of your eyes
So proud of this guys. They are THE BEST!!!! 🥰
This mans thumbnail said 10 years of mold, than in the vid he said it was left for 3 yrs.
You sayin this man drove this car with 7yrs wort of mold on it and drove around like it was nothin???
Edit: spelling
Probs meant that it was sitting in a garage for that long
Well it didn’t start out this bad, it got moldier as time went on.
Underneath all that mold was a really nice car.
I have to say... This is the best car washing video I'VE seen. Not talking that much, no ads, just pure great work! You're the GOAT
This video is so relaxing to watch, the music is perfect thanks for the upload,
You could reduce the volume of the music a bit, and then I wouldn't have to keep changing playback levels when you are talking.
Are we going to ignore at 3:05 you can see "Help ME!" on the hood
I saw that too 😂
@Mathew Dragneel may-beh
Help me on the bonnet, remember me the exorcist!
Damn that is one very good exterior condition car. Other than the mold it clearly looks almost as if it was unused before being left to mold. Great job!
Excelente trabajo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 quedó impecable!!
Hermosisimo automóvil 😍
So impressed Guys you have so much attention to details ...keep up the good work. I love watching your videos... Keep them coming !!
Up the volume when you speak. Your voice is very quiet but the music is loud.
Wow, what a difference... it's most satisfying to watch this car get a proper detail.
This is the most satisfying video I’ve ever seen in my whole life! It’s much better than the other “satisfying” videos which aren’t as satisfying as this!

This reminds me of the good old days when I used the eraser tool in MS Paint #nostalgic
It's cars that are in this state that videos like this are made for! Damn that was satisfying to watch!
The things that I'm seeing different are so very minimal... But to see the difference between you guys when you released this video and you guys as of now... The differences are just... Amazing. 👏👏👏👏 So proud of you.
Y do watching people clean cars and carpets put me to 😴
It stopped being satisfying when he let everything get soaked in the trunk of the car
I wouldn't want this guy detailing my car. Very careless
Ikr. That's how you get a moldy car interior.
Very satisfying to watch, the car looks new again.
currently living with my grandfather looking for a job and tryna get a car, always wanted to start my own detailing business, so iappreciate these videos ive learned alot 💛 plus its fun to watch ::))
might have been easier to pre-soak with APC and snow foam to soften up the mould/algae, but good job.
Dang that car is white? I was expecting it to be that tan color they used to sell cars in
Absolutely love this! I inspire to make amazing content like this!!
Best transformation I've watched
So satisfying
I feel like you could’ve just stopped after the pressure washing and the owner would’ve been SHOOK
Could you give a song tracklist? 👍🙏♥️
The music is pretty dope
Wow looks like a brand new car! Awesome job!
I love the" help me " you wrote in the mold!

Amazing save there. Great job. Thanks.
The moss was acting as a protectant for the paint
Looks like an ex cop car, great job dude
Great result! Nice tunes too.. well done!
I can't get over how nice this car still looks for being 22 years old. Not a speck of rust anywhere. 😯
What. 1998 Nissan and no surfacerust on arches or anything :O
Never seen that great condition Maxima..
My 96 SE was the exact opposite of this one lol. I'd kill to have one in great shape.
EXTREMELY reliable cars I own a 98 Infiniti i30 with 262k on the clock. 👍💪
Back when Nissan was making them really well. Sad to see crap they put out now...
Daniel Stack what do you mean
This was so satisfying 👌🏻
I enjoy watching satisfying clips like this one. Relaxing
That thing is immaculate for 22 years old
Who says you can't polish a turd lol
It sure is calming and satisfying to watch 😊
I like that you clean the hub cap too! 99% of people don’t! Keep up that little detail! Much love!
It’s almost like the mold was protecting the paint
Top and liké 👍👍👍🚗🚗
That is a miracle! Way to go!
This car cleaned up really well, it didn’t look like the same car after the detail, it was really satisfying to see that mould blasted away by the pressure washer lance, happy New Year guys, and greetings from Europe!.
The real question is
Does the Engine even exist? 10 years standing still man I guess it’s dead from the inside.
u might want to turn ur music down so we could hear what ur saying

Hey man, if you need gloves I’ll send you some.
We finally found some ! Thank you tho !
@@MADDETAILING safety first!
Is the water from the pressure washer cold or hot? You should be wearing gloves at all times when detailing, particularly in this one, since mold is no joke...(maybe even a mask). Great work, though! ;)
Sofy R_R I agree, mold gave me some type of lung issue called histoplasmosis. So I wear a mask all the time when I detail😂
Looks like a new car! Awesome!!
I'm from Brazil and I really enjoyed your work. Congratulations.
It looks more like tree sap than mould to me.
Anyone else notice the "Help me!" on the hood at 3:00?
Alissa Redman yep....I also noticed the 2 machine guns sticking out from the front bumper....I guess grandma was a member of local militia....
Greatt job. Its soothing as shit to see the dirt come put of those rugs and buffing it to a shine.
You work very hard.
Now the car looks very nice.
Each and every thing of car you
clean very gently.
Great work .
Have a nice day.
