Truly a once in a lifetime detail! I had a blast learning about this car and the documentation that came with it - it was incredible. Hard to believe it sold for only $3,900! Hope you all have a great weekend! Don’t forget to hit the thumbs up button! 👍🏻
What an awesome detail this was for you. Could we say 'historic'? Did you get to drive it, or at least ride in it? When I was young, my mom always said "You don't need an expensive car. They go down the same streets as every car does". So true. Potholes. Idiot drivers. etc. 😒
I see these on fb marketplace occasionally. maybe not this exact silver shadow model, but they have similar body styles and are usually under $10k here in Atlanta
Disagree. The mats are lambswool, there are more adequat procedures to clean them. Besides that, all mats and carpets are edged with leather. Lots of water is not approriate for cleaning.
I can't believe this car is worth such a small price. Especially with all that history, and the fact it's been looked after. Aside from that, what a fantastic detail video. Thank you for posting.
This was a barn burner of a video. WOW, That Wedgewood blue color with the gray was just beautiful. For a car from 1979 this was in incredible condition. So there was a vinyl floor, low pile mats and then sheepskin mats on top of that. That sounds like total comfort. You stuck to your well honed and well thought out process as if this was any other vehicle. I kind of think since this was from 1979, this would have still been hand built. So that explains the quality and high level of detail in every part of the interior. A sale price of $80K was a LOT to invest in a car in those years, so the original owner was well heeled and had some money. Sold several times to people who obviously loved this car so much to keep such amazing records. This was real treat and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Mitch so much for this. Have a wonderful weekend!!! Looking forward to a new yard geek video. I always enjoy those. 💜
This was definitely a once in a lifetime detail and one I won’t soon forget! Glad you enjoyed hearing about the history of the car, that really was a treat. The next YG vid is well in the works and can’t wait to get it out to you guys! Have a great weekend Joel!!
Hello Joel! Hey, I assume why don't the RR Silver Shadow II should rent a car at the company? Anyone who can afford it for vacation or holiday what it depends on. RR reveals fantastic exterior and interior design to us. Cool! Have a wonderful weekend.
I hope that you take pictures of some of the special cars that u detail and put them up in your shop somewhere. A reminder of yr hard work and the variety of cars that u detail. It will be a ‘wall of fame’ for sure.
Such amazing detail and car. I hope you do more vintage and rare car details, I really like watching and learning more about them. Love this one specially Compared to the other details you done, this has to be one of the most well cared ones here. Thank you for giving the opportunity of seeing this amazing car and the proccess of detailing. Love the other videos too where you make pure filth into brand new too. Been watching your channel for maybe 1 year now since my old account, keep up the amazing videos, Mitch!!
My dad had a customer that worked at an import dealer. Well one day he came over to our house in a beautiful 1980 RR Silver Shadow II. He took my brother and I out for a ride, what a treat. Another time he was having his taxes done at my dad's office and I asked if he could get me some sales literature. He sent me a huge envelope of brochures.
Oh my GOSH!!! A Silver Shadow ROLLER!!! 😱😱😱💜💜💜 That is the penultimate car to detail imo. Vintage awesomeness right there. And you had it looking like it rolled off the showroom floor!!!!😍😍😍
So many years ago I got to drive a Rolls Royce. My husband worked for the company. It was Heaven. I found myself going 95 mph and it felt like I was going about 45. No bumps or feel of the road, just smooth sailing. It is a memory I'll keep with me forever. Never could afford one, but it was a fun ride. You did a wonderful job on this classic.
You wouldn’t expect a detail video of a pretty clean car to be as totally satisfying as this one was… even though the car is in great shape you really managed to transform it into looking brand new!
Man, this is absolutely one of my favorite videos you've done! What great work on such a legendary piece of history! I hope this brings more rarities your way!!! Great job, as always. Keep up the GREAT work!!!
Dude! What an amazing and beautiful detail. I bet you were blown away when you got asked to do that. I know as a fellow detailer I would have been. To see a Rolls Royce in person would be a dream come true for me little own getting to detail one. Truly amazing.
When you mentioned you read the owners manual, I was smiling, cause I do be the same. Thank goodness there are others that do this too. Sweet car to detail!!
Just found this video. My husband was a professional mechanic for almost 50 years. About 10 yrs ago, he was looking at a RR in Calgary, thought it would be cool to own. Once he went through it with a fine-tooth comb, he had second thoughts. Called one of his brother-in-law’s who’s a car restoration genius. The advice was to run far, run fast. Yes the parts are expensive but there were other issues. One is that they use a mineral oil hydraulic system. Mineral oil attracts water. It’s also difficult to source the volume of auto grade oil required. And as already noted, there are few after market parts. Sourcing OEM can be a challenge, especially for the electric gear shifter.
wow, incredible work mate! The car is in amazing condition and the tidy up you gave it made it look even better! Love your work as always!! Big fan from Sydney, Australia here!
It's hard to know what to say about this. It's really nice it has been cared for and not especially dirty. The hard cover manual is a really nice touch. The maintenance manuals and history are also interesting to have. In every way this video is in a class by itself. ❤
Mitch, as a Canadian(of the UK) British Commonwealth, you got the treat of a life-time! To detail a piece of the UK legacy-a mint condition Rolls-Royce, with nearly no mileage on the clock! As a car buff myself, I'm not jealous or envious. Just thrilled that you were blessed with such a great privilege of a life-time! Have a wonderful day!👍🎉 Doug
1:35 - I am *definitely* enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime-car and absolutely do not care that its exterior is so clean relative to what you usually work on!
I’ve never seen an ugly Rolls! You did a great job as always! I’m telling you DG, you need a 2’ high pvc work bench to detail the interior items on! Thanks again!
I’ve always watched the channel to see you clean the filthiest cars imaginable and the satisfying outcome, not so much for the cars themselves. But I’m getting into this content where you’re cleaning vintage/classic cars for restoration work and seeing them come back to life. It’s cool!
Wow, this was such a great video. The carpet was joy to watch. ALL the history of this car was priceless. This work of art needs to be in a museum! I would say great work. However, this was a vacation for you!❤❤❤
Man this was a bit different from some of the decrepit examples that have been detailed on the channel over the years! Awesome car and I hope the owner keeps coming back regularly to get you to detail it. You are the right guy for the job
Amazing complete with sheep skin carpets! But I'm somehow getting visions of sitting in the back seat rolling down the window and asking "pardon me, do you have any grey poupon?" Only the older crowd will get that one! 😂
As a "car guy" for over 40 years I believe it's a MUST to at least show the engine bay! On this detail no seats were removed and the engine wasn't detailed. Any specific reason why? I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing the great work you do!! 😁👍👍
I'm proud of you and you're company it take a good trust on you for the owner to bring and leave the RR with the owner gone for the detailing So be proud of your work you deserved it!
What a beautiful car you share with us this time Mitch!!! Rolls Royce has been my favorite car ever!!! It's elegant, distinguished, sober, classic!!! Practically unique!!! I personally thank you for this episode. This is the most beautiful car, for me. Thank you thank you thank you Mitch 👑🙌🏼🙏🏻
The silver shadow was considered by all Rolls-Royce aficionados as Rolls-Royce‘s biggest mistake. They took the body off of the stunningly, classic Silver Cloud and put a square boxy body on it That car is only known for bad 60s & 70s movies where Arab stereotypes as assassins drove around, packed in like a clown car, shooting out of the windows, in bad Bond-like movies. There was no reason for the silver shadow to ever exist. It is an awful car with an awful body.
New person to your channel- I have seen a few videos now and have noticed that you (don't show that you) wipe the wipers-- I have noticed that the rubber some times has a residue that can keep the windshield from being as clean as it could be. Nice channel, will watch some more videos as your attention to detail is satisfying to watch.
Truly a once in a lifetime detail! I had a blast learning about this car and the documentation that came with it - it was incredible. Hard to believe it sold for only $3,900!
Hope you all have a great weekend! Don’t forget to hit the thumbs up button! 👍🏻
I will be watching this multiple times since I am fascinated with this car. 💜
I drop my jaw that it sold for $ 3,900 Rolls Royce. Cool, its nice car. 🤔❤
You have a great weekend... as well
Surely you can afford a young trainee editor to increase your productivity and free up your time
What an awesome detail this was for you. Could we say 'historic'? Did you get to drive it, or at least ride in it?
When I was young, my mom always said "You don't need an expensive car. They go down the same streets as every car does". So true. Potholes. Idiot drivers. etc. 😒
I was not expecting this car to have been sold for only $3900! I thought for sure a collector's vehicle, especially in such good condition
That blew my mind too!
I would recommend watching bbc top gear they can explain why
It takes a lot of investment to keep it running. So it is not just the initial cost of ownership, plus this wasnt a desirable model year
I see these on fb marketplace occasionally. maybe not this exact silver shadow model, but they have similar body styles and are usually under $10k here in Atlanta
I would have thought it was worth way more that $4000. Probably is today but still I would love to own it,
I never thought of saying this... but the most satisfying part of detail is floor mats cleaning! Great work...as always!
Disagree. The mats are lambswool, there are more adequat procedures to clean them. Besides that, all mats and carpets are edged with leather. Lots of water is not approriate for cleaning.
Settle down Ace.@@workshop_deluxe2493

We will not see these types of cars for a long time. Once a lifetime to watch. Thank you.

@@cynthiahopkins7090 Great to see you Cynthia! It was fun to see such a beautiful car. Hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with friends and fun!!
The non-dirty wheels was the biggest trip of all. I think that's the first time it didn't turn to mud with the brush.
those tires are stupidly oversized
@@anotherone-xp9ox every car from the 60s 70s and 80s had them, it's for comfort and traction.
I know who is winning the "cleanest car" award this year.
I hope that you take pictures of some of the special cars that u detail and put them up in your shop somewhere. A reminder of yr hard work and the variety of cars that u detail. It will be a ‘wall of fame’ for sure.
To watch a Beauty being Detailed is such treat ❤
Wow! That car looks like it was taken car of for all of it’s life. Great job Mitch protecting and restoring the car. Have a nice weekend everyone!
Have a great weekend @Botdog. Glad you're here. 😀
Thanks, you too!
Botdog614, Exactly!!!! Have a good weekend! 👍

I’m surprised it sold for only $3900??!! That’s a collectors car and I thought it would have sold for more. Great video as always! ❤❤❤
Man... Two toned cars with pinstripe and wood/leather interiors. Damn these modern bubble cars and land yacht SUVs.
Oh my GOSH!!! A Silver Shadow ROLLER!!! 😱😱😱💜💜💜 That is the penultimate car to detail imo. Vintage awesomeness right there. And you had it looking like it rolled off the showroom floor!!!!😍😍😍
Thank you!
WOW! What an amazing detail! not only to get to detail such a vintage RR, but to see the complete history of it as well! Great job Mitch!
Great job Mitche, and a super nice car. I was suprised you didn't do anything (or even show) the engine compartment.
This was such an awesome detail Mitch. It's nice to seeing rare and special cars that are well taken care of rather than disaster minivans sometimes
It was a pleasure to see such an amazing car being detailed. Great job as always, Mitch. Have a great weekend.

Wow! It's clean beyond measure.... and you did a fantastic job. I can't wait to see what's next on your agenda.
Another fantastic video, Mitch. This has to be one of the best ones yet.🚗

Wow Mitch,you seem to get all the cool vehicles to detail.Awesome job,and great history
I always smile every time I see your perfection to detail. Maybe it's because I am like that too, that's why I enjoy your channel
This car is absolutely beautiful! It's so great to see a piece of automotive history that's been so well maintained.
Beautiful car! So glad you had a chance to work on it.
Another great video and thank you to the owner for bringing it to you
Dude! What an amazing and beautiful detail. I bet you were blown away when you got asked to do that. I know as a fellow detailer I would have been. To see a Rolls Royce in person would be a dream come true for me little own getting to detail one. Truly amazing.

That’s the coolest car I ever seen nice job Mitch as always.
I absolutely loved this video. The detailed record keeping was outstanding. The mats...omw...the mats were the best!
What a BEAUTIFUL CAR!!
Never seen one of these up close. This is a treat❤
A pleasure to watch this jewel come to life again! Thank you!
An absolutely stunning car. That's a real treat, glad that owner trusted you with this!

Amazing, simply amazing. This is one heck of a survivor. I hope the owner continues to take good care of this.
Beautiful. Great job. The Spirit of Ecstasy is shining bright. Well done!
Wow! Would've never thought a classic Rolls Royce would be on the channel. Cool!
What a treat to work on such a head turning car!💕🇮🇲😊
What an absolutely gorgeous car. And how amazing that you got to detail it, and a fairly easy job of it, from what it looked like! Thanks for sharing
wow, incredible work mate! The car is in amazing condition and the tidy up you gave it made it look even better! Love your work as always!! Big fan from Sydney, Australia here!

I sold Rolls' back in the 80's and the 1979 Silver Shadow II was one of the best cars RR ever made. You did a great detail job!
I was very exited to see a car like this in your shop! The end result is stunning!
You and me both!

There is no one better to trust with a car like this than Mitch. Excellent job and video.
Thank you for posting this piece of automotive history that I would likely otherwise never get to see. Beautiful vehicle and great detail.
1:35 - I am *definitely* enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime-car and absolutely do not care that its exterior is so clean relative to what you usually work on!
Truly an amazingly beautiful machine. The detail just made it all the more so!
What a great video! My Grandad had a Rolls Royce back in the 80s and also documented his drives like Ron. ❤
This was such a cool car to watch being detailed!! Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend Mitch!! 😊
what an incredible piece of automotive history. thank you for this. one of your best
That’s a beautiful car, I’m in love with it, truly a once in a lifetime experience, hope you detail more cars like this ❤
I'm just glad to see the slow-mo side to side wash mit action return. This is a classy episode!
I like so much when you turn the music down and mantain de vacuum sound. Nice touch!
Amazing car, thanks to share!!!
What a stunning car, Mitch. I'd love a Bentley T2 which are even rarer.
Incidentally, were those shaggy mats made from genuine Cookie Monster fur...?
🤣🤣🤣
Such a cool video. Looks absolutely like it’s brand new again.
Not that uncommon in the UK back in the day. These cars were used by a lot of chauffeur companies especially for weddings.
BEAUTIFUL!! Great job!!
Nice to see you cleaning the boot. And the sheepskin mats are lovely
This is one beautiful car! Glad to see it in good condition amazing work man
I like your mentality, you are never short cutting. Cool video as always 😎
What an stunningly beautiful auto and what a beautiful job you did on this one Mitch. Bravo!
I'll bet that it's a very heavy vehicle. You have really done yourself proud 👏 again . Way to go Mitch
Beautiful job on the detail as always 👏. Beautiful RR
Congrat, it look like new, the quality of the car is so great.
Hey man I enjoy watching you work it's amazing an this is a guy who details an cleans floors😊
What a stunning vehicle! Truly classy in every way! What a treasure!!!!!
I’ve never seen an ugly Rolls! You did a great job as always! I’m telling you DG, you need a 2’ high pvc work bench to detail the interior items on!

Wow Mitch how exciting to detail this rolls Royce it looks absolutely beautiful
A RollsRoyce must be a bucketlist car for every detailer Mitch eh? Loved this weeks video bud literally top drawer lol!
Thank you!
Amazing complete with sheep skin carpets! But I'm somehow getting visions of sitting in the back seat rolling down the window and asking "pardon me, do you have any grey poupon?" Only the older crowd will get that one! 😂
😂 truth
I'm 37 years old and I got that instantly
Not Grey Peupon 😂😂😂😂
I thank you sir i know that I would never see one and seeing this was truly a blessing.
Great detail Mitch!! I’ve never seen navy blue carpet like that in a car before.
What a great opportunity. Thanks for the video.
It is amazing the car still looks stylish today. Truly an elegant car!
This is the most beautiful vehicle you’ve detailed and you managed to make it look even better. Well done.
Classic omg and a marvellous outcome in the detail as always Mitch 😎
Rolls are so iconic! My favorite is the 56 Silver Wraith ❤❤❤❤
As a "car guy" for over 40 years I believe it's a MUST to at least show the engine bay! On this detail no seats were removed and the engine wasn't detailed. Any specific reason why? I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing the great work you do!! 😁👍👍
Enjoy the weekend Mitch ❤❤❤
I'm proud of you and you're company it take a good trust on you for the owner to bring and leave the RR with the owner gone for the detailing
So be proud of your work you deserved it!
You N E V E R cease to amaze me!..
I legit thank God for your existence... ☺️
Oh my, this has been the best. It was shaken but not stirred. Bravo to have this privilege and you cared for this car with respect. 🎉
How would that chrome trim and two tone paint job look on my 2008 LEXUS ES 350 ?
Hey Mitch,
WOW😱, This is a beautiful vehicle, nice condition!!!
As Always Amazing!!!♥️💯🔥
One of the last TRUE Rolls Royce cars. It looks amazing! Nice work. 👍
What a beautiful car you share with us this time Mitch!!!
Rolls Royce has been my favorite car ever!!!
It's elegant, distinguished, sober, classic!!! Practically unique!!!
I personally thank you for this episode.
This is the most beautiful car, for me.
Thank you thank you thank you Mitch 👑🙌🏼🙏🏻
That was without doubt the coolest car cleaning I've ever seen!!!
So you don't compound, polish, and buff the paint? Plus did you clean/detail the engine and under hood?
The silver shadow was considered by all Rolls-Royce aficionados as Rolls-Royce‘s biggest mistake. They took the body off of the stunningly, classic Silver Cloud and put a square boxy body on it
That car is only known for bad 60s & 70s movies where Arab stereotypes as assassins drove around, packed in like a clown car, shooting out of the windows, in bad Bond-like movies. There was no reason for the silver shadow to ever exist. It is an awful car with an awful body.
New person to your channel- I have seen a few videos now and have noticed that you (don't show that you) wipe the wipers-- I have noticed that the rubber some times has a residue that can keep the windshield from being as clean as it could be. Nice channel, will watch some more videos as your attention to detail is satisfying to watch.
STUNNING 🤩
Cool to watch. Thanks for sharing!
