      7 years in, started at 15. Also afraid of wasps, I learned to take all air fresheners out of vehicle because it attracts them, and add a sweet air freshener away from where you’re working and they’ll stay near it! I usually vacuum them up if they do come inside vehicle while i’m vacuuming!

    12:08 Oh for sure, I agree 100% in you. I miss the good ol' plushy blue carpet from the blue cloth interior of the 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis. They don't do that to cars anymore these days. Maybe and that's if you're lucky, you can find a medium gray coloured carpet with brown leather seats in the interior of very few cars, but you're not having either a green, red or blue interior anymore... not even on the economy cars... I guess most manufacturers are focused on selling cars that look outstanding on the outside, but kind of similar to every other vehicle on the inside, which is where you will be enjoying your vehicle. I miss the originality that manufacturers had in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, with the dash design, console and trim in the car.

    Spot on commentary on interior colors. Makes me miss my '85 Cutlass (blue velour), '95 Grand Marquis ("Porno red") and '97 Grand Marquis (green). We've gone back to the Henry Ford mentality - any color you want as long as it's black.

    Hi Mitch, I agree with your comments about black interiors. Especially here in Aust. where a normal summers day is 40c plus, a black interior is pure hell.
    I asked in a European car dealership one day when I was checking out new $A70,000 car why in this climate we had to have a black interior or nothing. The reply I got was, "Well if you don't like black you might find something in the Used Car yard that suits you.

    @vdgitaliano 2 года назад

    I had my own carpet restoration company and we serviced auto as well. Here is a little tip that gets car mats crazy clean and keeps them that way for a lot longer.
    AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER SOAP WITH CLEAN RINSE SHEEING ACTION....Yep, you read correctly!
    This kind of soap is meant to clean through enzymes and it also breaks down grease. But it doesn't contain the same polymers that carpet chemicals do and there is no sudsing chemical which by not being sudsy helps the carpet to rinse completely clean without residue that later attract dirt. Regular carpet chemicals for the most part are sticky.
    For the more stubborn stains like engine oil I use a few drops of WD40, work it lightly with my finger tips and then use a paper towel to soak as much out as I can. Then I spray a little 90 percent rubbing alcohol on, work it a little with my finger and use another paper towel to remove to alcohol and remaining WD40.
    Once that's done I mix 1 cup dishwasher gel in 2-3 gallons of water warm water and pour it over the mats, letting it sit for about ten minutes. After that I agitate lightly with my fingers and then use a high pressure washer to spray the dirt out. Spinning brushes ruin the texture of the carpet.
    The suds that come out are from previous soap that was used and the sheeting action of the dishwasher gel helps rinse all chemicals out.
    This also works great for the engine bay. 2 cups per gallon and sprayed on in 3- 4 applications using a two gallon pump sprayer. Wait 10 minutes and spray with a moderate pressure wash. This will not eat your rubber wiring or plastic components like heavy engine degreasers will. However, it will remove wax off your car in a heartbeat so becarefull where you spray. Safe for paint but not wax friendly.
    Happy cleaning!

    My dad’s 1990 Ford F-250 Lariat supercab had a red interior! We also have a 1999 Ford F-350 with a beige interior.
    At the Ford dealership, one of the salesmen ordered a brand-new 2021 Ford F-150 hybrid. That truck actually came with black and grey two-tone leather seats!!!
    I, personally, prefer a black interior, as the stains don’t show up as quickly as they do on beige seats.

    I agree about the black interior, I live in New Orleans the only way you don't get a black interior is if you have a black exterior which honestly I've had both and don't know which is worse. I currently have a blue Genesis G70 and it has a black interior. I wanted beige but you have to special order that.

I'm now genuinely curious to see how good that correcting Compound works. Especially from being a collision tech 😅. And as a side note, your products have helped me lift off my detailing side-hustle.

    as for whether steam is potentially "dangerous" to electrical components: well, it all depends on how the stream is "made." classically vaporized steam isn't ionized (meaning no metals that are otherwise found dissolved in tap water making it electrically conductive) but cold stream basically consisting of tiny water droplets still contains those metals imposing some "danger." even drying doesn't fully rectify this "hazard" since it would still leave this residue behind. from what I've seen, he uses filtered water (always a great idea for washing any vehicle to avoid spots), this does reduce the risk of running into issues.
