    Hello, my name is Dakota Jackson and I am the incredibly grateful owner of the lovely van you see in this video.
    First off, 100 thank you's to Mitch and the incredible amount of work he did to restore the old girl to a version of glory I've never seen before. You have no idea how much this meant to me and my little family. It is something that we not only won't forget, but will respect to the highest degree in trying to keep her looking as good as we can. The kids have, of course, been welcomed back into the vehicle, but to my delight they have been saying things like "remember to bring garbage bags mom, we gotta keep our van looking pretty."
    Secondly, to those that responded with kindness and understanding. Thank you. Please, continue to give accolades to these incredible transformations and use the comment section as a place to converse, ask questions and offer support.
    Finally, to those who chose to take this very small snapshot of one area of my life and use it to degrade my entire character, please consider the following. Lazy, disgusting or disgraceful are words I've never been called before. I went from eagerly watching the video, excited to share it with others so they can see the incredible work Mitch does, to tears streaming down my face as complete strangers ripped me apart. I am a single mother of four children, the oldest is 7 and the youngest 2. I not only have sole custody of them, but also am the only one supporting them financially. I am a teacher, having finishing my education degree while taking my youngest with me to classes since she was 4 weeks old so that I could both breast feed her and finish my studies, I work at a youth emergency shelter, am a journalist for my local paper, coordinate a music festival, write grants for my small town to help them find the funding for community events and do graphic design and content creation on the side, as well as manage the websites of two local organizations that provide more accessible sports training and mentorship to youth. I left and survived a relationship that required a restraining order, a non-contact order and an order for a psych evaluation for the other individual. I have tried my best at every turn, in every way I could and unfortunately my poor van got the brunt of my lack of time, energy and money. I have been more concerned with keeping her moving this last year then anything else, she has a habit of flat tires, the a/c quitting on the hottest days and random lights turning on for no known reason. So much of the time it was a choice between helping a friend make a logo for her new business or cleaning the van, reading one more story or cleaning the van, staying up to watch a little one with a fever or cleaning the van. There are times that my van should have been the priority but ended up getting knocked off the pedestal with something I believe was more important. Have I treated her the best, No. Does she have to do things that are usually assigned to jacked up 4x4 trucks, yep. Did we neglect her for too long, yah. I take full responsibility for all of it. What Mitch did for us, was take us back to square one and I'm forever grateful for that. I have always believed that there is good in everyone, so maybe your cruel judgements were just the result of a bad day, a bad week or maybe even a bad year. Whatever it was, it's okay. I realize you've already made up your mind about me, and I can accept that but I'd ask one thing of you. The next time Mitch puts out a video of one of his incredible transformations, maybe just pause a minute before you go tappity-tap-tappin. There is more than enough cruelty, indifference and hate in this world, no need for you to add to it. I wish you all the best.

      Glad your van got a good cleaning. Sorry to hear you received some roasting. Some of the most talented care givers I know (Including Physicians, Advanced care Paramedics) who are both intelligent and highly motivated individuals, neglect their vehicles. A dirty vehicle is as you say, a snapshot of a person's life. Anyone who has made more of that to you or about you as a person, without knowing about the rest of who and what you are, is just expressing a thoughtless reaction, and their comments should be evaluated as such. Don't take it personally. Enjoy the van, and your family.

You sound incredibly hard working and someday your kids will realize the sacrifices you made for them. Hopefully more people in your life start to prioritize you and treat you with the empathy and compassion you deserve. I for one, send you all the positive karmic force I can muster. Be well.

    Life can be overwhelming, busy, and with all the rushing around with young kids among other things we have to do, we usually overlook the car. Mine looks almost as bad inside. Keep doing what you do mama, they won't be little messes forever. Before you know it they will have their own vehicles and you will have a clean car without trying.

  • @alanmoore78
    @alanmoore78 2 роки тому +431

    Seeing detail transformations like these really change my perception of a dirty vehicle because I know the potential it has. Some people might shy away from buying a dirty vehicle, thinking it hasn't been taken care of, but really that's a point of negotiation and as long as it checks out mechanically you can save some money and get the dirty car cheap and then have it detailed (or try it yourself if you have the desire like I do) and it's way better than paying dealer prices for something.

    • @There348
      @There348 2 роки тому +8

      I feel the same way. I’ve been detailing vehicles for years. Been fixing them for the better half of my life. Although I wasn’t able to pursue detailing the way I wanted due to divorce issues, I still have the knowledge. Dirt is always the last issue or thing I look at. And you’re right, as long as it’s mechanically functional, you have a reliable piece of transportation!

    • @aipo86t
      @aipo86t 2 роки тому +19

      There is dirty and then there is trashed. My son bought a car from a person that lives on a farm. It was about this dirty but cleaned up nice. After some basic maintenance he has a good winter car at a good price. Now a car that's trashed usually means no maintenance has been done and everything is broken those you just haul to the junkyard.

    I just came upon the videos of The Detail Geek today and have been trying to watch as many as I can. It is extremely gratifying to see the results of hard work and the transformation that takes place. I think many people don't know where to begin when a vehicle becomes rather unkempt. Keep up the great work. As for Dakota Jackson, the owner of the van, thank you for allowing us viewers an insight into your life. It is easy for people to make judgements about another and, upon seeing the van come in so dirty, I, too, was wondering how it could get that way. Sometimes there just is not enough time in a day to raise a family, especially for a single mother, and make a living as well. May you be blessed for all you do for your family.

    An incredible result and easily the best customer reaction yet. I really hope the owner decides to invest in some rubber floor mats to protect the carpets and the work you've done--WeatherTech ones are great, but any mats are better than none at all. This one really cleaned up beautifully, but in your hands, they all do. I do like to try to guess how many hours it took you at the end of the video and I usually get it right, but this time I was way off (I predicted 12 hours).

    Hi there. You talked about floor liners there are such things. They are called Weather Tech and they cover the floors real good even up along the sides. They are a little pricey but they are worth it. They can be bought in the U.S.À. just look them up. Love your channel. Keep the good work. Stay safe out there. Take care and God bless.

    As someone who works in a body shop, I can gurantee...minivans with moms and a bunch of kids have the most ransacked vehicles. It comes with territory I think 😆

    16 Hours. Amazing! The track “it’s been so long” perfect. I could have watched the Bissell all day. Thanks and Happy New Year!
