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 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'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.
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
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...
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 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
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
Take a little tip from The Detail Geek and wind down the windows a little so that you can wipe the top edge. It makes a difference. And try to control your pressure spray wand so that you don't soak everything in the boot (trunk).
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.
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.
Lost 1x MOSSY LUMP! Gained 1x CAR! Very satisfying. The camera angles made it easy to see everything. I liked your explanations at each stage. The music was eclectic, lol, but not intrusive, generally relaxing, so that was fine. I dig the little gundog on the side of your hat. Overall, I'm lichen what you're doing here.
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
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.
Damn that is one very good exterior condition car. Other than the mold it clearly looks almost as if it was unused before being left to mold. Great job!
currently living with my grandfather looking for a job and tryna get a car, always wanted to start my own detailing business, so iappreciate these videos ive learned alot 💛 plus its fun to watch ::))
The things that I'm seeing different are so very minimal... But to see the difference between you guys when you released this video and you guys as of now... The differences are just... Amazing. 👏👏👏👏 So proud of you.
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.
just found this channel and its already my new favorite detailing channel. the one thing that annoys me about other channels is the quiet audio then loud annoying music. your great tho such a soothing voice and peaceful music, exactly the reason i watch these types of videos. :)
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. 😌
This makes me miss my Maxima so much. Mine is a white '97 GLE, I loaned it to my sister to get her through school. Maybe I'll steal it back for a joyride this weekend.
This is the most satisfying video I’ve ever seen in my whole life! It’s much better than the other “satisfying” videos which aren’t as satisfying as this!
Dude I can't stress enough how similar my car looked and mine is a Pontiac Grand Prix 2001 GTP SE molded/algea exterior a absolutely destroyed carpet I ended up taking all of the carpet out of the car taking it to a pressure washing station nearby my home and washing the mold out of the carpet it looks brand new now and is nice and dry in my car again mine was sitting for 8 years with 2 windows rolled down. All I can say is amazing transformation i loved watching this!!
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
And, skipping ozone generator, steam cleaner, extractor, clay bar and protectant procedures is totally okay?? C'mon man, polishing the vehicle before passing it with a clay bar damages the paint. Leaving interior almost untouched will just introduce more mold and crap down the road. Also, skipping UV and silicone protection won't do any good long term. Now, you could also wax the car and that's another bonus. I worked at a car wash for two and a half years, and we also did detailing. Trust me, I know what the hell I'm talking about.
This car cleaned up really well, it didn’t look like the same car after the detail, it was really satisfying to see that mould blasted away by the pressure washer lance, happy New Year guys, and greetings from Europe!.
Is the water from the pressure washer cold or hot? You should be wearing gloves at all times when detailing, particularly in this one, since mold is no joke...(maybe even a mask). Great work, though! ;)
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 😉

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.

Jep
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!
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
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.
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
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
Only black mold and if u want to be technical mold is edible that’s what blue cheese is

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

Also a detailers, and will 100% agree
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
When you flip the wheel cover on the floor, certainly creates more scratches.
Good job on the rest.

I bet it was under a roof
I think the mold and gunk all over the paint protected it
Take a little tip from The Detail Geek and wind down the windows a little so that you can wipe the top edge. It makes a difference. And try to control your pressure spray wand so that you don't soak everything in the boot (trunk).
lol detail geek didn’t is not the first person to ever do that I’ve known that trick for 7 years now the windows in the car do not roll down.
Paintwork looked great its like mould protected it lol.

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.
imsickofmakingnames why?
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
@@evojumpman8806 leaves fly
Roman Seales no when it gets stuck or rain goes on pushing the leaves into a gunk
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
Im suprised at how clean the headlights are

Rick Feeney this model didn’t have glass. I have a relative that owns one it’s plastic
Must have been parked facing north...

Back when Nissan was worth something 😢
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
I was actually shocked at how shiny the paint was under the mold. Great video! I just discovered your channel and subscribed.
You know your car is dirty when you have to vacuum the outside of it before washing it
Are we gonna ignore the part where it said “Help me!” On the front of the car.
Lost 1x MOSSY LUMP!
Gained 1x CAR!

Are we going to ignore at 3:05 you can see "Help ME!" on the hood

Help me on the bonnet, remember me the exorcist!
For a car lover this is just as satisfying to watch as a stray kitten or puppy rescue!

The mold (and whatever shady tree the car sat under) protected the paint and those headlights wonderfully!

Well it didn’t start out this bad, it got moldier as time went on.
Nothing more pleasing than to see the fruit of your hardwork infront of your eyes
Ok vacuuming leaves aside....that was quality pressure washing lol
So proud of this guys. They are THE BEST!!!! 🥰
Underneath all that mold was a really nice car.

That was CRAZY‼️
This video is so relaxing to watch, the music is perfect thanks for the upload,
might have been easier to pre-soak with APC and snow foam to soften up the mould/algae, but good job.
Dude, the music transition made me jump. Scared me a little. lol
Love watching things turn new again. Very satisfying.
Up the volume when you speak. Your voice is very quiet but the music is loud.
Really good video. I love watching detailing videos like this. Keep making more !!!!! 🙌🏻

For the age that car is in great shape! Glad to see it being brought back to life.

The music is pretty dope
This makes me miss my Maxima so much. Mine is a white '97 GLE, I loaned it to my sister to get her through school. Maybe I'll steal it back for a joyride this weekend.
I feel like you could’ve just stopped after the pressure washing and the owner would’ve been SHOOK
Very satisfying to watch, the car looks new again.
Dang that car is white? I was expecting it to be that tan color they used to sell cars in
This is the most satisfying video I’ve ever seen in my whole life! It’s much better than the other “satisfying” videos which aren’t as satisfying as this!
What. 1998 Nissan and no surfacerust on arches or anything :O
Never seen that great condition Maxima..

Epic 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂...
The people commenting on here giving advice crack me up. I bet 95% of them don't even detail vehicles.
Only if the recommend ammo in any form.
And, skipping ozone generator, steam cleaner, extractor, clay bar and protectant procedures is totally okay??
C'mon man, polishing the vehicle before passing it with a clay bar damages the paint. Leaving interior almost untouched will just introduce more mold and crap down the road.
Also, skipping UV and silicone protection won't do any good long term.
Now, you could also wax the car and that's another bonus.
I worked at a car wash for two and a half years, and we also did detailing. Trust me, I know what the hell I'm talking about.

The real question is
Does the Engine even exist? 10 years standing still man I guess it’s dead from the inside.
