The car hasn't been driven for 3 years which means it will have a host of mechanical things to be repaired or serviced. Pil change coolant change battery needs to be replaced bad gas in the tank. Possible corrosion in the fuel lines (ethanol in the fuel attracts water) brake fluid probably needs to be flushed. Brake rotors are probably severely pitted and need replacing... who knows what them suspension bushings look like... there could have been rodents living inside the engine bay and chewed wires... the longer a car sits the worse it is.
@@antonisautos8704 you correct, but you describing a car that's been standing a lot longer in very bad conditions ... This car has most likely been in a storage facility for cars . I.e: all the algae?
@@antonisautos8704 all that besides suspension is just a regular revision of a car that should be made every year anyway: changing coolant, oil, brakes etc. And the battery. If you know what you re doing it'll cost you like 200/300 bucks to fix, not really a problem
@@neilgouws6962 it's been sitting under a tree ie all the leaves and mold from said tree. That's what a car looks like after sitting under a tree for awhile. That's why he used a clay bar probably had little specks of sap all over it. Surprised he didn't find a hornets nest or something under the hood they make good nests for many things
I've never seen anyone detail the hubcaps on a car! I feel like hubcaps are a very rare thing to see in detailing videos and I appreciate the effort in cleaning them and the steel wheels under them!
I’ll agree I cringed a bit when he cleaned them face down on the concrete, but let’s be real, they were probably already scratched up way worse before they cleaned. And of course, they are literally just plastic hub caps, probably super cheap just to buy new ones lol.
Idk why anyone has to bring up another popular channel of the same theme, youtube is for everyone and I just as I liked watching dr pimple popper, I like Enilsa and Josefa and the toe bro! I don’t judge, all of them are soothing and satisfying. 😌
Amazing choice of music 🥺 Those real stringed instruments were lovely. I’d love it if you listed what was used (if you haven’t started doing it already. I’m new here.) Edit: 2:05 and 3:20
I am wondering if I’m the only one thinking about the top edge of the side Windows not getting a whipe with Some glasscleaner. Or did I miss him doing it? Nice video and very Nice to see the dirt Blast of the car 😎
My first truck sat in a back yard for 2 years. It had dead frogs and a (thankfully) dead wasp nest in the ac. So for about a month every so often you would get hit by a flying dead wasp.
I hope you got that deep cleaned. That can be a road hazard. Have them completely exterminate the nest and honestly strip the car and then clean everything
Had to make sure I wasnt the only one. I used to be a detailer, and no matter what type of service they are doing you keep the water out of the trunk. You learn very quickly to have standards in place like that will save you with muscle memory in the long run, which (hopefully) by then you'll be working on nicer cars that do actually matter what happens with the trunk. It saves a bunch of hassle to be smooth with that spray tech 😉
I was thinking the same thing. Not to mention a simple spray, even with a power washer, won't get rid of all the mold spores. You'd have to bleach the sucker
@@Frankiebug21 Pretty sure bleach doesn't kill mold either. I think it just whitens it, so it doesn't look like it's there. You need a product specifically for killing mold, or a good steam cleaner.
Took the words right out of my mouth! Mold would not come off from a pressure washer no matter if it's a hotsy. Like you said it's just dirt build up and algae. He damn sure wouldnt of had his hand on the hood at the beginning where the algae cane off.
I imagine it going like a bearded man shaving it all off and trying all the styles down till bare skin. The possibilities with the mold on the car would be endless lol
If when you scrub the wheels, the soap is that brown, you should go another time because there is still a load of blooming in them. Scrub till suds are white and then they are clean!
@@Angziety94 it's the same...have a rotting nissan almera...haa...it's standing for 3 years already...reeks of death if you open the lid for motoroil...
This mans thumbnail said 10 years of mold, than in the vid he said it was left for 3 yrs. You sayin this man drove this car with 7yrs wort of mold on it and drove around like it was nothin??? Edit: spelling
Man if you do rescue restorations like this often, I strongly recommend getting some ppe like masks and gloves. Like a full of full seal mask. Inhaling mold is a world of headaches you don't want
I had a 96 SE with a 5 speed. Had to give it up because of the amount of rust that was on it (found out it came from Wisconsin when I did a CarFax on it). It had 200k miles on it and ran and drove beautifully.
@@buffalop32acdm23 with the cloth seats and a 3rd brake light on the deck lid I'd say its a 97'-99' gxe with aftermarket head lights. I don't know why you would change the heax lights but keep the ugly stock turn signals. To each his own i guess.
I don't know man, I'd go extra steps in cleaning a car that's been sitting for years and that has that much mold. You cleaned it nicely on the outside but I'd go extra step and remove weather strips and other rubber to clean the area underneath that. Next, after done cleaning, I'd focus on the interior, get an ozone generator, a steam cleaner, and an extractor and do a pass on the entire interior, especially the seats and carpet. After that clay bar the entire car, polish it and protect it with silicone and UV protectant. After all that I'd add put some nice smelling car perfume to compliment the overall look of the car. That's just how I would do the job.
Just a quick tip from a fellow detailer. It saves a good bit of time to just use a pressure washer on floor mats instead of the extractor 👍 awesome vid btw
I love detail geek, but I also love this guy. I do agree with you though. I think since he's so meticulous, people tend to use him as a standard instead of realising everyone has their own way of detailing vehicles. I feel this channel does a great job.
Another thing to remember when you're looking to resell a vehicle like this from the 90s that has sat for that long: replace the speakers, since the surrounds are almost certainly dry rotted.
All of that mold probably ended up being good for the paint. Acted like a sunscreen.
It does. Even dirt protects paint when its left on for years. But by no means am i saying not to wash and wax your car haha
I agree with you..
Doesn't mold ruin you paint?
Call me funny but I’ll keep my rigs indoors and mold free
Great point
New buyer “Man this is a clean car! Someone really took care of it! What a great deal!”
On the contrary, the car has not been driven for three years, therefore it's not mechanical abused 😉

Tho cleaning them facedown on a concrete pad... I would rather have them dirty than scratched up.
I cringed aswell, you can see them scratched up at 23:17

When you flip the wheel cover on the floor, certainly creates more scratches.
Good job on the rest.
MrSyriaMoon yeah I was cringing lol
I came here to say the same thing
@@mrbig921 so as me
I was good with everything until then. I screamed inside 😂
MrSyriaMoon I was gonna say the same thing. Should have put down something to protect them from the coarse concrete. 😨
I have to say... This is the best car washing video I'VE seen. Not talking that much, no ads, just pure great work! You're the GOAT
You know your car is dirty when you have to vacuum the outside of it before washing it
I was actually shocked at how shiny the paint was under the mold. Great video! I just discovered your channel and subscribed.
Idk why anyone has to bring up another popular channel of the same theme, youtube is for everyone and I just as I liked watching dr pimple popper, I like Enilsa and Josefa and the toe bro! I don’t judge, all of them are soothing and satisfying. 😌
For the age that car is in great shape! Glad to see it being brought back to life.
This reminds me of the good old days when I used the eraser tool in MS Paint #nostalgic
God I have a 57 Chevy Bel Air, the video really helped. When i washed it, God damn, it was the shiniest red I've ever seen.
Amazing choice of music 🥺 Those real stringed instruments were lovely. I’d love it if you listed what was used (if you haven’t started doing it already. I’m new here.)
Edit: 2:05 and 3:20
Oh boy, there is definitely a way to make ASMR out of that foam wash part Hahaha
Awesome video..can't belive the interior survived so well..plus a manual gearbox maxima???
omg you totally changed the appearance of that car. you are amazing man
my manz had a 99 5spd as well.. loud af & fun to drive as well.

Most satisfying thing is cleaning an car 🧼
It turned out to be a very pretty car!
One of the best high pressure machine ever seen :D
Good job and good video but why didn't you use the blower to blow out the leaves instead of vacuuming it?
Very satisfying to watch
Thumbnail: 10 years of mold
10 seconds in the video: this car has been sitting for 3.5 years
Well Done With That Detailing!!!
Its like a moldless car after...😍😍😍😮😮😮😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍
Is there a part time job for spraying moldy cars with high pressure ? I wanna do it just for the satisfaction
So satisfying.
Y'all don't even know how happy i was when he did the windows 💔
😮 wow! Really nice job!
We don't use paint brushes no more we use air hoses so no scratches
The car just turned out to be a Cinderella 😳
No one:
The car: help me!
color condition its so good
Soooooooo satisfying
At 20:21, I thought someone was rapping but it was you explaining with the beat...
you spray it really close to the paint with that pressure washer, i hope it won't damage the paint
Most satisfactory
The Detail Geek is much better channel.
Which pressure machine is good let me know
I wonder if you can power wash mood off bread
What pressure washer was used in this video?
U need to roll the windows down and clean the tops bro
should have left mold racing stripes
How much psi is the pressure washer?
Lavo trocas y trailes, es un placer, acabo de lavar un camiôn y sigo lavando lo que se me encuentre, me gusta mucho lavar.
why vaccuum all the leaves, just use a leaf blower and blow them off
Was the car exposed to the sun mostly or sitting under a tree?
what about wastage of water?
How come you couldn’t just sweep off the leaves?
"sir there is a car in your mold"
Maybe add some air to those tires.
Wow!
What is the song called plz, the first one ...
I wash this off the north side of my house, every couple years!
I just yelled "The car is white?!" When he started to pressure wash it 😭
Where is this car I need it... I have a 99 with automatic transmission but I want the 5 speed... I need this car...
Can we talk about the help me sign
Yikes , getting the battery wet with over spray in the engine bay !
Little do u k could have sold as a movie prop
Am I only one thinking “ he just full on sprayed the inside of the trunk”
i was bugging to
Jon Secord yeah but it doesn’t really matter lol. It would dry
@@yeseniarivera1956 yeah but still weird af
Yeah, the trunk is full of water

Is anyone else surprised at how good the paint looks?
Avraam Semerikov I am shocked. I expect more serious staining.
I was thinking the same. He just needed i llbit of love ⭐
Yea ikr
Avraam Semerikov the mold was a shell and kept it safe
Jep
This is not mold! This is just Algae from plants... If this was mold you wouldn't want to go anywhere near it without the right PPE
I was thinking the same thing. Not to mention a simple spray, even with a power washer, won't get rid of all the mold spores. You'd have to bleach the sucker
All that aerosoled mould would fuck you up. Not mould.
I mean he did say algae and mold.... maybe there's mold somewhere else like inside like he mentioned.

🤣

Exactly what I was thinking I was disappointed when he didn't do it 🤣
Damm, the fact you vacuumed up all the leaves bothers me so much.
Right? So dreadful!
Same!!! Glad it's not only me.
Blowing them off and vacuuming what's left would have been much easier.
I was wondering why he didn't just use a leaf blower.
I seriously was just asking myself why didnt he just blow them off lol
6:52 YOU MISSED THE FRONT CORNER OF THE FENDER AND THAT WILL PREVENT ME FROM SLEEPING TONIGHT
No he got it
@@saatisthong6139 I saw him get it too, I think they may have meant 7:52 but I'm pretty sure he got that too- I don't think he would leave mold on it

But why did he have his hand on the mold on the hood in the beginning of the video?
First world problem
Its algae and dirt it's not a big problem
Ryan Grant yes but he had no gloves
Tip: turn music down so we can hear what you are saying
Up!
Just look 👀👀👀👀 .music is great also ✌✌✌
Please
Rather hear the vibes bruh lol
Ayo he needs to fix his mic ASAP
“Nissan Maxima for sale, older couple owned, always garage kept”

You sayin this man drove this car with 7yrs wort of mold on it and drove around like it was nothin???
Edit: spelling
Probs meant that it was sitting in a garage for that long
Well it didn’t start out this bad, it got moldier as time went on.
Are we gonna ignore the part where it said “Help me!” On the front of the car.
Him:"moldy dirty car"
Also him: TOUCHES CAR WITH HANDS
The mold protected the paintwork all these years...
Minimalist
Not too often mold is a good thing!
Well it was probably under a tree which was hiding it from the sun that’s prob why there’s tons of leaves too

Only black mold and if u want to be technical mold is edible that’s what blue cheese is
It’s alge on the car
It stopped being satisfying when he let everything get soaked in the trunk of the car
I wouldn't want this guy detailing my car. Very careless

Be careful with ozone machine, it can corrode things in your vehicle if not properly done.
If you’re planning on keeping the car then sure. If you’re selling it then it’s a poor return on investment.

Paintwork looked great its like mould protected it lol.
Im suprised at how clean the headlights are
BimoDredd Biking they’re made of glass that’s why

Up the volume when you speak. Your voice is very quiet but the music is loud.
Ok vacuuming leaves aside....that was quality pressure washing lol
I'm impressed by how good the paint looks for a 22 yo car with all that stuff on top....
I bet it was under a roof
I think the mold and gunk all over the paint protected it
Dang that car is white? I was expecting it to be that tan color they used to sell cars in
Great job! Only two things missing was a undercarriage pressure accessory and an ozone machine for the interior.
You watch too much detail geek. Just bc he does that doesn’t mean everyone has too.
@@tbfit7808 There's a reason there are undercarriage sprayers on automated carwashes...
numberyellow not around my area

I feel like you could’ve just stopped after the pressure washing and the owner would’ve been SHOOK
The real question is
Does the Engine even exist? 10 years standing still man I guess it’s dead from the inside.
What. 1998 Nissan and no surfacerust on arches or anything :O
Never seen that great condition Maxima..
