I drove a 2002 suburban for 6 years and only just retired it a little over a year ago. If I had my way I'd drive it for another 10 years, but sadly the rust was finally getting to the frame. Mine had those flaps to cover the footwell and they were very useful when folding down the middle row for cargo or traveling with dogs! That suburban was the most functional and useful vehicle I've ever driven. Newer vehicles really can't compete for quality and function.
As someone that gets their vehicle dirty sometimes, I have to clean my glass. The paint will be ok, but I can't stand glass I can't see through. Even the ranch truck gets a glass cleaning when I go home.
The carpet on the door is meant to be a kick plate so you don't scratch the plastic when you use your foot to push the door open. :) Thank you for the continued videos.
Sorry for late comment! This detailing job is seriously impressive. The amount of dirt and grime on that Suburban was insane but you tackled it like a pro. Good job Mitch!
For the tailgate supports that I have come across that are bad I also put a pair of vicegrips on them to to slow the tailgate if the support bar I was using got knocked out
Great job, Mitch! I love that green color too. That's the kind of suv you can live in and it looked lived in lol hope the customer loves what you did there. Happy Weekend!
I have those 2nd row flaps in my 18 Toyota Sequoia. When you fold the 2nd and third row complety they bridge the gaps so you can put cargo all the way through. I use them all the time.
The GMT800 series of vehicles are some of the best vehicles EVER built by any manufacturer. 18 years have passed since they ceased building this platform and there are still hundreds of thousands if not millions still on the road. 05 Cadillac Escalade ESV owner here. Love the video on this big ole Burb!
Having owned and/or worked on several of these trucks over the years, it's safe to say that the engineers' wives didn't cheat on them with a mechanic, because they're not horrible to work on.
I have a gmc YukonXL with that foot well cover, I think it was great design minus the clips. I use it for camping and having the flaps makes it so I can put blow up mattress down.
This is me. I live on a dirt road that turns slick and sticky with rain and snow. And I did spend 325 to get it professionally cleaned and two days later I was back to looking the same way before the cleaning. Two large dogs didn't help interior either with their paw prints. I will try for a beater truck to drive on icky road days. Something that's NOT my 3500 high country truck
I have this exact car and love it! It was fun to watch. My 2001 ford excursion also has the flaps on the back of the seats to make a flat cargo area. It would be cool if you could detail an excursion! But it would be a monster job, ha!
door carpet has a functional origin; they were supposed to help with sound deadening. they are also noticeably nicer than rubbing against plastic when squeezing into the car.
Your videos on older cars have really made me appreciate them a lot. It’s incredible how great a car can look just by taking care of it however long its lifespan.
People nag GM in the late 90s/early 2000s for the terrible plastic feel of the interior, but I truly miss their interiors as a whole. The carpet is so much nicer, everything is such a simple/easy design to either remove or operate.
Man. You’ve come such a long way over the years. I remember first watching your vids about 3-4 years ago and I’ve loved all your content since I found your channel. Keep it up man. Amazing work
I had a couple of GM cars that had carpeting along the door panels. I think it helped for acoustics for the vehicle between dampening the outside road noise to giving a more solid sound for the music played.
Awesome! Looks great! Always funny when someone doesn’t get the wheel spacers for the big rims! Spend more money on new tires then the $100 on the spacers from the start.
I don't understand how people can leave the interior of their car so dirty. It's so easy to dispose of all the rubbish yourself instead of having someone else do it. At home it probably looks just as disgusting from people like that
Little backyard mechanic trick for cars that the support "arms" won't keep the trunk open is to use vise grips right under the black part of the arm. That'll keep it from falling on you without having to use a random bar that might fall down.
I suspect the little flap on the back of the middle seats if for when they're all folded down so you can slide stuff in and not have it fall between the seats.
I am a detailer and i have always been told by them before me and know myself that you arent or shouldnt be putting anything with a high shine on higher surfaces. Does 303 have a high shine?
just a simple powerwash in between should be enough to keep it descent. although this wasnt looking that bad, just mud dirt, and some filthy stuff inside(but that has to be because of the owner, if someone left pizza leftovers like that. i imagine their own house wouldnt even be nice than the car, just a filthy person.). how your car looks reflects kinda how you are as a person. pure fact
The carpet on the door was functional. Back then, the days when car parks were not always full and SUVs were rugged and built well, therl carpeting on the door was meant as a kick panel to keep the door open or some people just kick the door open
after detailing my sisters equinox last weekend, i finally understood your pain on those cheap carpets. why didn't chevrolet stick to this plush carpet
Hello, Renee 5, Glad you are back. What did you think perspective about your dealing car last weekend? Your sisters helped a good treat you. I hope All is well with you. Have a great weekend! 😊
@@cynthiahopkins7090 hi Cynthia! My sister loves the detail, it turned out great! Took about 3 hrs to clean the interior, she has a 2 year old. Vacuuming the carpet was the hardest part and I got my fun share of French fries hahahaha! It looks so much better now and she loves it. I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
You know DG as a old detailer myself I don,t know if the cleaning products or the steamer which is the best as far as detailing goes I,d have to honestly say probably BOTH
@@joelbuchanan471Thank you joel! I think it's your well wishes that made me have a quick and easy day at work on Friday! Happy Sunday and have a great week!! 😃
This was amazing! The car looks great at the end of the video and I’m impressed on how well you cleaned it up! Great job Mitch and enjoy your weekend everyone!
My 2000 Camry LE has carpet on the doors. What makes it hard is how to detail the interior of the Camry. Do the carpeting on the doors first I suppose. The rest would be easy to detail plastic and vinyl.
The 2000-2006 year range of GM full size SUVs were some of the best. Full 6ft bed if you folded down the second row in any Tahoe or Yukon. Full 8ft bed removing third row, folding down second row and using those footwell covers in Suburban or Yukon XL. Miss my ‘03 Tahoe for this reason alone. Was nice to go to the drive in movies with an air mattress in the back or just put so much more stuff in the back than in my 2011 Yukon where the second row folds up and takes away a lot of cargo space…
I have beautiful rims on both vehicles. But my problem is cleaning the in a barrel of a rims. Any hints on that? Is it something? I can spray on ear on there so that I can just spray it off. Without having to reach in in scrubbing myself

Amazing to see the beautiful deep green paintwork reveal itself as soon as the pre wash rinse started!😊
Wow that was quite the food trip on that car. Also, I love the music used on this video. 🫰🏼
Sorry for late comment! This detailing job is seriously impressive. The amount of dirt and grime on that Suburban was insane but you tackled it like a pro. Good job Mitch!
Finally, I got to see you clean the instrument panel and steering column, thank you!🤗
For the tailgate supports that I have come across that are bad I also put a pair of vicegrips on them to to slow the tailgate if the support bar I was using got knocked out
Thanks Mitch have a great weekend.
It'll never cease to amaze me that people who bring their vehicles to Mitch won't clean the inside of all the road trash they've accumulated. Unreal.
Great job, Mitch! I love that green color too. That's the kind of suv you can live in and it looked lived in lol hope the customer loves what you did there. Happy Weekend!

Great result! You can use a transmission jack to support the weight of the tail gate. That's a more safe solution for you

It’s mind blowing how people are with their vehicles 😳 and you make it look new again. Like watching your videos,keep up your Great work you do!
I appreciate how much work you do to make this video, Mitch! The Suburban looks fantastic!
Your videos on older cars have really made me appreciate them a lot. It’s incredible how great a car can look just by taking care of it however long its lifespan.
Agreed 👍🏽
the mr fog is a mood
Good old GMT800s. Fantastic trucks/SUVs. Whoever engineered them didn't seem to hate whoever would work on it eventually.
Great job this car was filthy and you made it nice and shine and the customer would be
so please
Awesome transformation
These people could at least clean their junk out of the vehicle. There is no excuse for giving it to you like that.
Well that wouldn’t make for a good YT video if they did that…
It's all for the show
I won't ever understand why people let their cars get this disgusting 🤢
@@pianoguy1584some of us practically live in our cars. I use it for work and getting around in my personal life. Also, mental health is an issue.

GM of the early 2000s was surprisingly reliable outside of a few cars. The cheap plastic only bothers those who hate GM as a whole.
Beautiful work!
Always enjoyable and inspiring to watch you at work. Can't wait to get at my own car this weekend. Thank you.
Detail Geek all the way!I learned alot from watching you that I use for my own job!Thank You so much!Keep up the Awesome work.Happy Friday everyone!
Great job.mitch to get it presentable until thhe restoration keep up the good work ii enjoy all the video's like to see the full restotation
Awesome as always

Hi Mitch this suburban looks so good and i really like the color of green awesome job Mitch have a nice weekend
Great job as always Mitch love the color of that Suburban you don't see alot of green colored vehicles
Love the green paint ! Looks Awesome as always!
I think the carpet panels on the doors are for those who use their feet (shoes) to push open the door. It saves the door and the shoes from scuffs.
1:10 It takes little to clean the windows though (and lights).
Have you tried using vise grips on the lift struts to hold the rear hatch open? Seems better than a prop.
I had a couple of GM cars that had carpeting along the door panels. I think it helped for acoustics for the vehicle between dampening the outside road noise to giving a more solid sound for the music played.
I own a 1999 Chevy suburban and it has that option to where I can have a flat surface if I remove the 3rd row seat
Incredible job
Put a vise grip on the door shock for extra saftey
You deserve more subscribers because you do such a good job!
i love the green colour
You’re work is outstanding and by the way do you still have your yard Chanel
another great transformation, Mitch! Can't get over the pizza slices left in the cargo area of the vehicle, tho!
Awesome! Looks great! Always funny when someone doesn’t get the wheel spacers for the big rims! Spend more money on new tires then the $100 on the spacers from the start.
Good job cleaning it I really like watching the videos are you videos are awesome keep up the good work
Hey Mitch I have a Ford escort XL and it also has carpet on the doors yeah confuses me too
I don't understand how people can leave the interior of their car so dirty. It's so easy to dispose of all the rubbish yourself instead of having someone else do it. At home it probably looks just as disgusting from people like that
11:27 Peugeot 5008 has this. makes a big difference when loading in the boot.
Absolutely love that green 💚
Loved the Pre Wash rinse for this one. I thought it was black initially then noticed the emerald green colour as all the dirt came off
My family owned one ! 2003, tan interior, LS, bench seat second row!! We loved it !!!!

Do you ever clean engine bays? If so can you start including this footage? Thanks, love your content sir!
Great job on that big old Land Sub.
Every one should support you because of your hard work
I suspect the little flap on the back of the middle seats if for when they're all folded down so you can slide stuff in and not have it fall between the seats.
Such a great job. Kudos
Looks amazing
Another amazing detail.
That is a nice rich green on the Suburban
I understand not cleaning the outside of your car but it’s necessary to clean your front and back windows.
Rear window can look like that in 1-2 days out here in winter.
Good job 😮
If the body dies trust the frame will and the brake lines will rust no matter what you do
Might as well keep it clean because it’ll rust anyway!
Looking great
I am a detailer and i have always been told by them before me and know myself that you arent or shouldnt be putting anything with a high shine on higher surfaces. Does 303 have a high shine?
No, it’s matte after drying.
I don’t see the point in the mud flaps because obviously it won’t stop mud and dirt from going everywhere because of the offsets
I love it that you work so systematically 😍😍
Really like that shade of metallic green
just a simple powerwash in between should be enough to keep it descent. although this wasnt looking that bad, just mud dirt, and some filthy stuff inside(but that has to be because of the owner, if someone left pizza leftovers like that. i imagine their own house wouldnt even be nice than the car, just a filthy person.). how your car looks reflects kinda how you are as a person. pure fact

Amazing job once again, I have to say though, those wheels look terrible on that truck.
7:35 anyone notice the random plug on the headlight? 😂

The Toyota Alphard does have something similar to that for passengers to put their feet up when they recline their seats.
Could you tell us why you aren’t using pre-souk first? Isn’t better for the paint? Thank you for your amazing videos!
When vehicles had carpet and not felt 😂
