Thank you for the update, Insider..!! Reminds me of that time when my father bought me a Ford Mustang back in 1992. The car's carpets were all wet, and looked like it was under water for some time. The dealership didn't say anything.. so we took the car home.. but brought the car back to the dealership a couple of days later. I told them the carpets were all wet and it's been days. They asked me to leave the car with them for a day. When I went back to the dealership the next day, there were at least 5 cars in the garage looking like the car in the video. It looked like they brought the cars from other dealership that had sunken under water. (lol) The carpets were all dry and I was happy, so I came back home without asking what happened.. now that I think back, maybe I should have asked what happened..
For starters the seat covers would have to come off and the foam pads cleaned. Otherwise any organic material in them would stink to high heaven anytime there was the slightest bit of humidity. But there’d be so many other problems with this car the smell is probably low on the list of concerns.
@@maxclough8931 LOL what???? I don’t care if you used $5000 per sqft leather. The foam in the seats are going to be soaked. What do you think, the leather seat covers are now a water proof sealed bag?
The flooding here in Kentucky over the last couple years has been horrific. This video was satisfying for the before and after but also heartbreaking as it is a reminder that for so many people, this was the state of their homes, vehicles, and every single thing they own.
This was definitely resold (NOT FOR PARTS!)... hopefully with a salvage title that annotates FLOOD. Hate to be the buyer if it didn't come with that disclaimer.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW No, this is a collectible car where even if it doesnt work, it had good resale value to those who want these types of vehicles to fix up or for parts for one they currently have. You dont know cars
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW you do know there are thousands of people with this name in the US? Quite antisemitic to assume every person with this name is the one connected to Trump
How to sucker somebody into paying too much for a flood damage car. Great guy. Why would you reinstall everything if you were so innocently “selling it for parts?”
I loved how he narrated in this video. If he does this for his own channel, I will start watching him again. (And yes that was the reason I stopped watching his videos. And I am not joking about this.) Btw I really like it! WoW! Amazing! YaY!
Absolutely. I'm a former car salesman, and flooded cars are the absolute worst. Buy cars that have been in accidents before you ever buy a car that's been in a flood.
@@-so2no I think it is hyperbole to say destroy the car, but you would have to replace the complete powertrain and body wiring harnesses. Even though you can get the car running again, the stranded copper wire wicks up the water inside the insulation and over months/years corrodes the wiring from the inside out. It is a hidden problem and difficult to diagnose which it is why it is generally better to pass on a flood car imo
If you get it quick enough and the car is worth it then it can be done however you'll never get all the mud out. It's between the panels where you can't access. It will never be free of it
But it suck cause alot of flood vehicles make their way from that zone to other states and people become victims of the inabiloty to drive them over time. Mold shows up in the areas that werent accessed. Your health goes bad. And im guessing it was the insurance companies that kept these vehicles on the market. Trying to recoup some losses. Then making our lives miserable. I dealt with 1. Lucky i knew it was a flood vehicle before i signed the papers. Its the seat mounts. They rot a certain way when exposed to salt water. But this practice of putting flood vehicles back for sale has been around for over 10 years so its going to keep happening and more victims of poor practices will show up. Theres no money in doing whats right.
With a good conscience they cannot sell that car? Well with full disclosure and a complete understanding of what went on I’m sure someone would be happy to give that car another chance. I’d buy it with the understanding that it may need some electrical and electronic attention. Someone might want it who has plans of fully modifying that chassis into a race car or something.
So you took out the carpet washed out the mud put it back inside the car and wash the carpet with soap. Why wont just wash it when it was out of the car ¿ just sayin
In Britain, as the British say, all cars are covered with mold in the first six months after purchase. they are very damp. I wonder how they would have saved themselves from mold after such a wet cleaning?
Lipstick on a pig. The problem is the damaged electrical and wiring, possible water in drive train and the corrosion to body and suspension. Making it pretty don't fix the real problems. Just lets crooked people scam car buyers
From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly, if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $505k in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy. mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” REPENT AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST TIME IS RUNNING OUT!❤️❤️❤️
The end result is so satisfying, I don't wanna clean that myself if I was its owner. Good job guys.

If it was a quality leather the water would not of seeped through.

So glad they were able to get it running again! I had a Trans Am and they are awesome cars!
Thanks for showing our hard work!
Next Day, on Craiglist: Firebird for sale, like new, CLEAN CARFAX!!!
I guess you could say the Phoenix rose again!
Is that it?? I wanted to see the whole thing of what you've done. Including the engine area. Is there anymore after this job?? Great work!
watch their yt channel.
This is some talent and skill, plus super satisfying to see such a cleaning job
No, these are con artists trying to resell a flooded car.

Idk y but these videos r so mind calming

Yeah that makes zero sense. You spend days cleaning a carpet, and you put it back in the car?
The people who did it was cleaning it for someone else so they couldn't give them a car back which was stripped
As a Malaysian this is really ON TIME to share this 🤣
:'(
With a lot of saran plastic wrap and bamboo you can makeshit lightweight durable canoes and storage rafts for the cheap.
Malaysian people will need this !!Fosho!
This looks so satisfying 😍
There's no way this was sold for parts especially if they got it running again.....
Probably they export it.
It's the salvage/rebuilt title that flooded cars like this get that make people just take it apart
I guarantee some looser sold it reconditioned. That car is junk though being flooded that bad.
People want parts for that POS 🤣
A cat like this would need parts instead to repair.
There is heavy flooding going on in Malaysia right now, and when this video popped up it was so interesting to watch lol.
@Ibnu thank you
Hey said they won’t sell it. You’ve never worked at a dealer then 😂😂
Its surprising they actually take the time to clean it rather than just scrap it
Great work!
Job well done
Wow amazing work but I really think if you were gonna fix this up all of the wires and everything else should of been replaced to.
Damn, good job guys
amazing work!

Every mechanic that seen this started laughing hysterically
Just destroy the car. Flooded cars are by far, the most dangerous cars to drive.
Absolutely. I'm a former car salesman, and flooded cars are the absolute worst. Buy cars that have been in accidents before you ever buy a car that's been in a flood.
Reason ?
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW why?

"With good conscience they can't sell this car" - I'm pretty sure it's gonna be sold anyway.
I can only imagine the floorboard under the carpet.
watch the video man its there
@@StevenHanover ok thank you
@@daveb8378 it's encouraging me to take the seats out of my rig to spray the the carpet as extra covid preparation
That’s awesome
Badass
Amazing job guys
God bless you
And Mary Christmas 🤍❤️

Well this definitely applies to Malaysia.
They defenitely will not sell that car to another owner xD
I’d like to know how bad the engine is going to be rid of all the rust it’s accumulated 👿
hurr durr LS1 is aluminium
Me thinks you're polishing a turd but nice work
Did I Hear you right? It still runs? I would totally buy and drive it jus because of the story behind it.
Nice
Let me enjoy this with original sound
Wow
I’d buy it! 👍🏼
Please don't. That car will be in the garage all the time.
They can definitely sell that car to someone, as long as the buyer knows it’s a flood car.
Why didn't you do the extraction while the carpet was still outside of the car?
Does not make sense since the carpet is already out why put it back then clean it again
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what car that is?
Wilson auto detailing uses wheel cleaner on the paint
But it suck cause alot of flood vehicles make their way from that zone to other states and people become victims of the inabiloty to drive them over time.

cool
I wouldn't want to buy a car like this. 😐
i wonder how much they charged
Berapa ramai orang Malaysia tengah tengok video ni utk bersihkan lumpur dlm kereta?
I would buy it
As an auto detailer this makes me cringe. You know what they say work smarter not harder. These guys have not done either.
What should they have done?
With a good conscience they cannot sell that car? Well with full disclosure and a complete understanding of what went on I’m sure someone would be happy to give that car another chance. I’d buy it with the understanding that it may need some electrical and electronic attention. Someone might want it who has plans of fully modifying that chassis into a race car or something.
Lipstick on a PIG. It is awesome to remove the contamination on surfaces, but unless you completely dismantle EVERY component, it is still a PIG.
We have a joke in Poland, whenever there is flood in Germany new cheap cars will appear on Polish market.
Need someone to do this for my house
Well all the electronics on that car are fucked, and probably the engine too
That must have been expensive!
👌🏽
Is that car even worth it?
lol. at this point..is it even worth it to clean it? looks like total loss to me
It’s a total loss, not sure why they would resell it. If you have to replace everything due to water damages including airbags, what’s the point?
One persons trash is another's treasure.
To rip someone off.
And when the detailer got home from work his wife moaned at him about how dirty the house was.
Really nice car ruined
Car was then sold as "minor issues clean title"
CARpet.... 🤯
Seems a shame to now dismantle the vehicle!
😲
They sold that car.
Everyone thinking their con artists they are cleaning them for client's
Nicr
Hmm, no wonder they can still sell these.
someone just bought this from an auction......
Car owner doesn’t deserve this.
How many gallons water??? Useless job.
Why not just get new carpet
So you took out the carpet washed out the mud put it back inside the car and wash the carpet with soap. Why wont just wash it when it was out of the car ¿ just sayin

3rd , pin?
just trash it
Have a bit more faith in your self
Why even bother?
They want to resell a previously flooded car. Con artists at thier finest.
Just stop talking

Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Lol just scrap it its ugly anyway
I hope no one buy this car. Because their hard earned money will in the drain. Flooded cars are worst.
