I have noticed one thing in all cleaning and detailing videos. None of the person who finds an abandoned vehicle or barn find or anywhere find goes to uplift the vehicle on a lift or jack or any lifting mechanism and clean from underside. Well in my country, the detailing or thorough cleaning means the car has to be washed completely, not only from top and sides and inside but also the detailers lift it on a jack holding car from sides or central jack and the car is washed and cleaned from underside also. Reason is if you leave dust and dirt underside, it results not only in rusting but also damages mechanical parts slowly. Secindly vehicle also gets checked from underside for any damages happened till that time and it gives convenient opportunity for owner and mechanics to look, find and decide for any repairs if needed immediately.
Larry @ Ammo NYC jack's the car up cleans the underside, removes the wheel's,cleans the wheel arches,cleans the brake calipers. Ammo do the most comprehensive detailing by far of any detailing channel on UA-cam.👍👍👍
Honest, solid tradecraft presented in an entertaining way. In a world slopping over with BS I'll sit here and watch Johnny clean a car with pleasure. Cheaper and way more fun than therapy....😅😅😅 Thanks and God bless all ! 👍👏👏👏
Brilliant job. It's been over 20 years since I sold mine - MR2 16 valve GTi T-bar facelift version in Goodwood green. Out of all the cars I've owned and driven in 45 years on the road I miss my Mister Two the most. Best fun you can have on four wheels. The factory stereo and pre-amp was utterly amazing. If I had somewhere to keep it I would have another tomorrow.
She’s a proper looker Johnny, A definite future classic! I know we haven’t seen underneath but was blown away how little rust there was on there, are we going to get another vid on this? Having my Sunday lunch with your vids on the big screen has become my ritual now!
I loved this one - a proper 90s icon in my opinion! It’s unlikely this particular car will appear on the channel again as this was a clean up job for the cars owner as opposed to one of my own vehicles. I would love to do a restoration on an MR2 turbo some day though so you see another one here soon! Thanks for watching 👍
JohnnyG, I own a 91 N/A. White, T-tops, and all original. Down to the radio. Only 135,000 miles. US. It has been sitting outdoors for a few years. No garage. Not a barn find. Thanks for this video. Wish I knew what products you were using. Hope mine cleans up so well.
If Toyota could see this transformation and all your hard work they would be so proud of you ! Such an amazing before and after transformation ! - This has got to be the best MR-2 out there and rot free ! - Well done bro - Great video & music man ! 👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve had a couple of MR2’s in my life, this looks like a wee cracker. Just keep an eye on the sills just before the rear wheels (one side already looked gone) and the t-bar seals (they dry out and leak over time). If you can get the sills looked at have a wee look at the floor pans too. These old MR2’s had foam installed in the plastic panel under the rear quarter windows that dropped down towards the sills/floor pan once heavy with condensation and rotted the car from the inside out (don’t ask me how I know this 🙈😂). Lovely car though 👍🏻
This one was a clean up i did for a TV show, so not my own project car (unfortunately!). The car has since gone on to have new sills fitted however the last time i checked on it i think it was back to being stored! Thanks for watching!
I haven't even watched the video yet Johnny and I'm already liking it and giving you a thumbs up. You gotta love 90s Toyotas. Can't wait to see what you do with the MR2. I just hope you keep it and don't flip it for something else
Thanks very much! This clean up was actually done for a TV show so this isn't a vehicle I own myself, however i've got a yearning for an MR2 turbo project so watch this space!
@@JohnnyGetsCash you should deffo keep your eye out for a MR2 for yourself as you can never own enough 90s Toyotas. They are still out there, but fetching big money, and you'd be hard pushed to find another Turbo, T-Bar MR2 is super rare yellow.
What an awesome video!! It's exactly what I am looking for...even the color! I haven't read through all the comments & new to the channel, but I assume you sell these cars?
I took one of these for a test drive in 1992 with a toyota sales man sat next to me incuraging me to rev the engine out,It was 14 grand brand new then,I hit a puddle in the road and the car aqua planed as the front was so light.I realised then it wasn't for me.A true classic car though.Oh and the sales man turned white .
Generally speaking i use an APC mixed with various other products depending on the job in hand (aside from wheels, when i use a specific wheel cleaner)
Thank you! This clean up was actually done for a TV show so this isn't a vehicle I own myself, however i've got a yearning for an MR2 turbo project so watch this space!
I must of missed the sills 😢 is it yours or is it getting sorted for someone else? Because it wasn’t like your normal videos not talking or anything in it.
This Toyota MR2, the Mazda Miata and the Mitsubishi 3000 GT are probably the best ever proper sport cars in the segment, really, ever. Lots of people will say the best of the 90s, but I think they're still the best... Why?... They created the segment, they're the segment, they're proper sport 2 seaters designed to give you the thrills without breaking your bank account (the 3000 GT expensiver, but still affordable for the middle class guy), they're like those very good affordable champagne like that really aren't champagne because they don't come from champagne. The bottles on the bottom shelf, way below the Ferraris and Lamborghinis on the top shelf but still quite nice to celebrate a good thing that happened in your life and get drunk with speed and a lovely performance. Also, this guy will be the only one able to clean my 5yo kid car seat.
Ahh I'd love an MR2! Definitely going up in price these days. I was too young to afford the insurance on one when they were cheaper. Now I'm 35! Wtf happened 😂
This is actually a customers car that I cleaned for a TV show so it’s unlikely it’ll appear on my channel again, however I would like to get my hands on an MR2 turbo so watch this space!
@@JohnnyGetsCash would be cool af ! good job looks amazing 10/10 and yes please would be amazing to see what Jonny's touch can do with one of them like a before and after from barn find to supercar killer or something like that 🫣
What a lovely 90s car times when cars had styles, uniqueness and just had that vibe of the future but seeing what current time have its sad that we lost all that beatuy and desgins with time now its all about tech and over done ugly desgins all the same.
Naturally caution should be exercised (when pressure washing any car to be honest). In the case of this MR2 it was absolutely fine. There were a few areas of clear coat flaking which normally I’d avoid but on this job the car was due to go for a respray so I was instructed by the owner not to be fussy about that!
As someone who uses snow foam a lot on multiple detailing jobs, I can assure you that in this instance it would’ve been an unnecessary step & a waste of product as the purpose of snow foam is to soften and remove contaminants in order to reduce marring at contact wash stage. This MR2 was being cleaned up after being pulled out of barn storage ahead of going for restoration (including a respray), so there was no need to treat the [already damaged] paint work too carefully!
As a detailer and car enthusiast, I can't tell you how jealous I am of this find! Good job man
Thanks very much!

Looks in great condition, and rare to see such an unmolested, original example. I love the colour combo of yellow with the purple seats, really 😎
This sends me back to the 90s playing Gran Turismo. Love it

Outstanding transformation. Just shows what a bit elbow grease can do.
Nice work, MR2 Turbos are rare. Nice find. Cleaning cars is therapeutic isn't it.
Awesome looking car and cleaned up so well - Top job Johnny
What an awesome barn find. Overall condition is still mint!
I was just glad to be able to bring back some shine to a Jap legend!
Nice find 👌 Will clean up real nice
Nice one. These things cost a bloody fortune to buy in great shape.
this is an early revision 1 car, it would sell for only 5 or 6k
This amount of work and attention to detail is really hard to match..
Haven't seen anyone putting this much effort.. 👏🏾
Thank you! You know how it is….if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing properly!

@@darrenliggett7222 absolutely! This thing ticks all my boxes!
Great work. Good thinking to have stored it in a dry barn.
These MR2's are on the up!
Wowser what a transformation love how well you detail cars 👍👍👍
Thank you!
No way! This is awesome, I recently picked up an sw20 mr2 as well, very interesting cars. Awesome video as always
Thanks! I think this generation of MR2 is set for big things in the collectors market over the coming months / years
Awesome job, & find 👏 👍🏿 👌🏼 🙌
lookin' good!
only missed a couple spots 😁
Put a shift in there ,fantastic. The 90s plastics were begging for some 303 aerospace protectant ,amazing stuff
Thanks James! I was really pleased with how this one came out!
😂 using the repair shop trick of desaturated colour for the before shots 👍
Ooo my favorite MR2 body style.
I love it’s new look 😮❤
What an awesome video!! It's exactly what I am looking for...even the color! I haven't read through all the comments & new to the channel, but I assume you sell these cars?
Amazing job Johnny! 👌🏻😊👍🏻
Thank you!
Thats a great find mate.
I want one of these with a K SWAP ala Boosted Boi Kyle!
A Nice 450 HP weekend cruiser. 👌🏽🔥
Dude that truck though!!
Nice style and lines,can't believe the owner let it go to that condition.
Must be MR2 season as tasty classics got a red one that been sat yrs lol 😂
Only a classic if it has an ashtray 😂 Awesome colour car.
Old Jap cars always smell the same too, like second hand cigarette smoke, pine air freshener and pure excitement! I also love a Yellow car!
That’s a keeper 👌🏼
What a find!! Always liked this car. I know I will get abuse for this 😅but it's better with a Honda K20 engine 🥳
Everyone loves a K20!
Do like these cars well done looks great❤
Thank you
Well done dude.
Thanks!
I like the Hilux as well. Looks cool.
Beautiful ❤
Awesome find. Looks so good 😮
Does it run? Bet you were chuffed to find it. Is it an import?
30'Years old car still in good condition.

Awesome!
Would like to know whats in those spay bottles for each job you do 😊
Generally speaking i use an APC mixed with various other products depending on the job in hand (aside from wheels, when i use a specific wheel cleaner)
A really good clean up J, a what a fantastic colour, proper old school. Is the next couple of vids on getting it running and sounding sweet?
Thank you! This clean up was actually done for a TV show so this isn't a vehicle I own myself, however i've got a yearning for an MR2 turbo project so watch this space!
Great video. It would be better if you overlayed the product being used at each point in the video. Thanks.
Fantastic, subbed.
Thanks Rob!
Ke bonito carro me gustó su línea y su color.
Great clean up u don't mind me asking what u use in that spray bottle ?
For the external areas? That’s a mixture of APC & TFR, just to cut through some of the heavier grime on a job like this 👍
What a transformation Johnny! Where abouts on tv was it?
Thanks! This clean up was shown on Channel 5's 'Amazing Cleans' program
Wow 🤩, I wasn’t expecting a MR2 ❤ Iv just started watching but so far it looks to be in real good condition, has it been in dry storage
It has been dry stored over the past couple of years, but it lived outside for many years previously - hence the rusty sills etc!
I must of missed the sills 😢 is it yours or is it getting sorted for someone else? Because it wasn’t like your normal videos not talking or anything in it.
@@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES this was a clean up I did for a TV show. The car isn’t mine. I was cleaning it up for the owner ahead of him restoring it!
Wow i love that car
She certainly came out well I think!
Hay what’s that cleaner you use on the interior mate
That’s an APC mix on the plastics and an APC / upholstery cleaner on the carpets / alcantara 👍
Great work. If only the owner had put a sheet over it. Reckon it might have stored filthy .
It certainly was a state! I believe it has since had the sills replaced but as far as i'm aware it may now be back to its barn storage location!
Excellent job! I have a question. What cleaner do you use? And was it okay to use the steelwool on the exhaust?
I use a variety of different chemicals (some of my own concoction too). Steel wool is fine, in fact it’s a very gentle medium 👍
Great video but it would be good to see some of the cleaning in real time
Amazing what a nice car was hiding under all that dirt. GOOD JOB!!!😁😁😁 Did you dye the steering wheel?
Thanks! No this was just a clean up (no fixes)!
Did the MR2 Turbo use the Celica GT4 engine..? No tyre shine.? But good job.👍
I love Mr2 sw20❤❤
@8:37 thats not a broken hacksaw blade he's using is it ? 😧😧
No, it’s a plastic trim tool
When this is cleaned 🧼 fully 💯 % it looks like bumblebee 🐝 from the transformers yea😎😎👍👍

A proper 90's icon! With the huge inflation of MK4 Supra values, all other 'sporty' Toyotas of the era seem to have followed suit!
My❤fav mr2 best model😊
Does it run? Nice video.
It sure does!
My fav cars.. of all times.. its too bad.. i never see it.. in real.. in indonesia..
A Mr2 with no rust in the UK is rarer then gold dust.
A fun little nugget :)
These were weapons back in the day
what are you gonna do with it ? any chance to see some dyno runs and who knows maybe some mods 💨💨 ?

Is it safe to presure wash an old car like that?

This your car bro ?
i thought the turbo had bigger wheels
Love the car but, tbh, the detailing was lacking in places.
👍

you didnt even wash the car lmao
Nooo what are you doing snow from should be used first not water snow foam helps lift the dirt
As someone who uses snow foam a lot on multiple detailing jobs, I can assure you that in this instance it would’ve been an unnecessary step & a waste of product as the purpose of snow foam is to soften and remove contaminants in order to reduce marring at contact wash stage.
